network Network Updates and Improvements!

[brunyman]

Closing down the old AssassinS server and releasing the new 1.13.2 AssassinS server finally allows us infrastructure changes!

 

We updated our Network proxy servers to latest builds and fully updated our lobby servers to 1.13.2 to avoid any compatibility issues when joining with multiple versions. This proxy and lobby changes means we can also improve our login system so that the network is premium but our cracked player base can still join via passwords. The proxy servers will sort out new players into premium and non-premium and ask for passwords on the lobby for non-premium players, this also improve premium accounts security as once marked as premium no cracked player can join with their name and they are forced to login with mojang servers. This means that when a new player joins if he is cracked the proxy will send the login info to mojang servers, if that fails the player will get a invalid session disconnect and if he re-joins again within 20 seconds from the first attempt he will be registered as cracked allowing him to join and register a password on our login system. This is a big change because this means you can join as premium or cracked no matter what server address you use to connect, mc.craftersland.net, play.craftersland.eu or play.craftersland.us . 

 

On the lobby 1.13.2 update we had to re-code some stuff and do some important changes but we tried to keep some features. The plugin EchoPet was removed as it is no longer being developed and expanded our MiniutrePets plugin with allot more pets to choose from. Another big change is the permission system, as we update to 1.13.2 we need to move on from PEX to LukyPerms as it if the best permission plugin. So all existing ranks will need to be re-activated.

 

With this being said you can only join network now with minecraft 1.13.2, the proxy servers will notify you so if you join with another version. All buycraft packages are also updated so staff can re-activate ranks, the new login system allows staff to easy reset passwords and future updates will be easier.

 

Note, if you had a password registered as cracked and you joined as premium the new login system will force you as cracked and you will need to login, in order to become premium again we will have to unregister your password as now you can't join as premium and cracked all accounts that had a password set in the database will be forced to login if not unregistered.

 

More coming soon! Thanks for support.
