piqueserver v0.1.0-rc.1 Release Notes

Release Date: 2017-09-04 // over 6 years ago

  • 🚀 Installing this release

    🚀 This pre-release can be installed with git clone (see README.md) or via pip:

    pip install git+https://github.com/piqueserver/[email protected]

    🔄 Changes

    🔧 Configuration Enhancements

    🔧 You can now use the piqueserver --copy-config option to copy the default config to your configuration directory.

    ⚡️ Scripts can now be loaded from the PYTHONPATH. This enables the installing and updating scripts with a single command, directly from pypi or github. No more abandoned scripts and lost patches! The goal is to make this even simpler next time.

    Built-in Version Detection

    👍 Piqueserver now supports built-in version detection. It does not currently support enhanced version detection though.

    Players can access version detection via the /client <username> command.

    Scripters can access version detection via the connection.client_info dictionary.

    👌 Support for OpenSpades Popup Messages

    👍 OpenSpades supports new popup messages. These can be sent via the following functions:

    connection.send\_chat\_notice(message) connection.send\_chat\_warning(message) connection.send\_chat\_error(message) connection.send\_chat\_status(message) protocol.broadcast\_chat\_notice(message, team=None) protocol.broadcast\_chat\_warning(message, team=None) protocol.broadcast\_chat\_error(message, team=None) protocol.broadcast\_chat\_status(message, team=None)

    Command System Rewrite

    The commands system has been rewritten from scratch.
    This is mainly a thing visible to script authors, but we managed to sneak in a few new features too:

    • commands will now return a helpful error message when used incorrectly. No more "Invalid Command".
    • commands taking player names will now refuse to work if multiple players match. No more accidental kicks of the wrong person.
    • commands now accept "yes", "no", "on", "off" in addition to "0" and "1"

    The new command interface can be used like this:

    from piqueserver import [email protected]()def do\_thing1(connection): do\_thing1()@commands.command("name", "alias", "another\_alias", "even\_more", "wew", "stop")def do\_thing2(connection): do\_thing2()

    Other Small Things

    • 4-8x increase in map download speed
    • 🛠 merge several scripts into the base server (dynfog, bugfix.py, etc.)
    • 👍 native support for bots
    • 🔀 merge changes from github.com/infogulch/pyspades
    • ⚡️ update dependencies
      • now uses pyenet pypi package
      • now uses ipaddr pypi package
    • 🛠 various small fixes and improvements

    🐧 Some users have managed to get piqueserver running under windows, but due to lack of testers and demand, we currently only have official support for Mac OS X (Darwin) and GNU/Linux. If you are a Window user please feel free to help us change this!
