Introduce the Gladiator kit feature and supporting infrastructure: add KitMetaData enum and new GladiatorKit implementation (items, abilities, fight lifecycle and region logic), register the kit in SpeedHG, and add language entries for the kit and some bolded kit names. Add WorldEditUtils.createCylinder helper to build/tear down arenas. Extend KitEventDispatcher with listeners to handle gladiator arena block interactions and explosion handling (with a helper to step glass color -> air). Also add ingame guards in several projectile handlers and remove a small TODO/comment in GameStateListener.
Introduce MySQL persistence and an in-memory stats system with async saving.
- Add HikariCP & MySQL connector dependencies and relocate libs in build.gradle.kts.
- Add DatabaseManager (HikariCP) to manage connection pool and lifecycle.
- Add PlayerStats data model and PlayerStatsRepository for table creation, reads, upserts and batch upserts (with prepared statements).
- Add StatsManager: coroutine-based cache, dirty-flags, async batch saves, auto-save (every 5 minutes), load/save APIs and shutdown save.
- Add StatsListener: load on AsyncPlayerPreLoginEvent and save on PlayerQuitEvent.
- Wire DB and stats into main plugin: connect on enable (disable plugin on fail), initialize StatsManager, save/disconnect on disable, register leaderboard command and stats listener.
- Update GameManager to record kills/wins/deaths and adjust scrimScore on events.
- Add LeaderboardCommand and language entries for leaderboard output; expose command in plugin.yml.
- Add database configuration section to config.yml.
- Minor refactor: KitCommand plugin accessor changed to a getter.
These changes provide a robust, pooled DB connection and efficient stats persistence (batched/upserted) to reduce DB load and ensure data safety during shutdown.
Introduce a new Venom kit with aggressive (deafening wither beam) and defensive (shield of darkness) abilities by adding src/main/kotlin/.../VenomKit.kt. Wire the kit into the plugin: import and register Venom in SpeedHG (extracted registerKits()), and extend KitEventDispatcher to handle projectile interactions for Venom defensive playstyle (cancel/stop projectiles and reflect thrown potions). Update en_US.yml: add Venom localization/messages, adjust default prefix and some kit/scoreboard copytext, and add a no_permission message.
Introduce a BackupKit and allow players holding it to change kits mid-game while preventing normal kits from being picked once the game started. Changes:
- Add BackupKit implementation (kit with no abilities/items used for mid-round kit selection).
- Update KitCommand: import BackupKit and GameState, add isIngame helper, disallow normal kit picks during INGAME/INVINCIBILITY, permit BackupKit to swap kits mid-game (but prevent picking the same kit) and apply playstyles accordingly.
- Fix GoblinKit to also copy/restore the target's playstyle when stealing a kit and restore the player's original playstyle after timeout.
- Tweak IceMageKit slow effect chance (now ~1/3 chance using random.nextInt(3) < 1).
- Update en_US.yml: add messages and kit strings for backup and icemage, adjust ability_charged color, and add game/cannot-pick messages.
Also includes small import and formatting adjustments.
Introduce a new IceMage kit and wire playstyle support across the plugin. Changes include:
- Add IceMageKit with aggressive/defensive active & passive abilities, item distribution, and lifecycle hooks; caches ability instances and given items to reduce allocations.
- Register IceMageKit in SpeedHG on plugin startup.
- Update KitCommand to require a playstyle argument, validate it, select the kit's playstyle, and provide tab-completion for playstyles.
- Extend KitEventDispatcher with IceMage-specific handlers: spawn a circular volley of snowballs on ability use (cancelling the original projectile), mark spawned snowballs with persistent data, and apply freeze/slow effects on hit.
- Adjust GoblinKit to use a plugin getter and make inner ability classes static to avoid capturing the outer instance.
- Update language lines and plugin.yml usage to reflect the new /kit <kitName> <playstyle> usage.
These changes implement the IceMage feature and ensure proper playstyle selection and event handling while keeping allocations low and behavior consistent.
Include the default prefix as a placeholder when deserializing messages (LanguageManager). Pass the invincibility time placeholder in GameManager broadcasts. Unify GoblinKit action bar messages to a single "ability_charged" language key. ScoreboardManager now imports legacySerializer and serializes the selected kit display name for the scoreboard. Large update to en_US.yml: added many game/timer/title/antirunner/build/craft/commands translations, updated player welcome and scoreboard title coloring, and added kits.goblin names, lore, items and messages.
Large refactor removing many legacy subsystems (abilities, kit system, database repos, recraft, world manager, extensive config classes, lunar/luckperms integrations and various listeners/commands). Introduces a lightweight LanguageManager, AntiRunningManager, ScoreboardManager, ConnectListener and a SoupListener; simplifies the main SpeedHG plugin to initialize these components and register the connection listener. Build changes: update Gradle wrapper to 8.10, remove paperweight and several external dependencies, add fr.mrmicky:fastboard and simplify shadowJar/build task configuration. Adds default language resource (languages/en_US.yml) and updates plugin/config resources. Purpose: simplify and decouple the plugin, reduce dependency surface and prepare for a leaner, modular rewrite.
