Hey everyone

As some of you might know, Hacktoberfest has started this year (https://hacktoberfest.digitalocean.com/) which encourages people to contribute to open source projects. As an open source project, CSMM has lots of oppertunity for helping out. If are a developer (even one just getting started), we have lots of backlogged fixes that have tickets for (https://github.com/CatalysmsServerManager/7-days-to-die-server-manager/issues). If you are interested in contributing docs there's the docs repo (https://github.com/CatalysmsServerManager/docs).

Don't be afraid of submitting a request even if there's no open ticket, any help is appreciated anywhere.

If you've never used github, or just need a hand, feel free to reach out to myself or @User 10588021 in the #dev channel and we will gladly help if we can, but there's also a lot of resources on the hacktoberfest website.

Here are some issues with some info to get started:

CSMM v1.14.1 released!

Bug fixes and maintenance work 😄

CSMM v1.14.0 released!

Pushing update to all instances now

Some more updates have gone live since my last announcement. Judging by the silence in #csmm-support I think the log processing issue is fixed for the majority of people. If it isn't, please get in contact with us!

Btw did you see our new fancy homepage? 😄
https://www.csmm.app/

Hey everyone, I just pushed an update to several instances that should resolve this issue. Let me know if you still have trouble!

Hi everyone,

You might have noticed but CSMM still has some trouble handling events from the game. I will continue working on it tonight after work!

Will keep you posted

Hey @everyone

Sorry for the lack of communication lately. CSMM should be good to go for A19 now. If you are having issues, try the patched version of Allocs Fixes I posted above. If you have the official version, you will see a lot of errors :( I hope Alloc will release a fixed version soon.

CSMM seems stable now but I need to catch some zzz's. I will work on CSMM some more tomorrow after work. There's some leftover issues still that I need to fix but they should be minor!

If you'd like to help, a detailed bug report would help loads: https://github.com/CatalysmsServerManager/7-days-to-die-server-manager/issues/new/choose

Good night & have fun with A19 😄

Something seems wrong with the latest allocs fixes version. In the mean time you can try this version if you are running latest experimental

Disclaimer, this is an unofficial version but it seems to work ok 😄

More testing on EU instance happening, sorry for any inconveniences

Some testing/maintenance coming up for the EU instance

Maintenance today on US servers, expect possible restarts and stuff

EDIT: maintenance is done now :)

Hey guys, a little update on how you guys can request features and/or report bugs.

Some of you might have noticed that Feathub went down for quite a while. It's back online but I've decided to move feature suggestions and bug tracking to the actual git repos.

I've manually moved the most upvoted feature request to the repo already. I'm sorry if yours is still on Feathub, they do not have any way to export the data :(.

You can request or report issues here:
https://github.com/CatalysmsServerManager/7-days-to-die-server-manager/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+sort%3Aupdated-desc

Hello again @everyone

A few days ago, someone requested a way for players to exchange their ingame currency into CSMM currency. That is not really supported by CSMM but Prisma had an idea on how to do it with a CSMM hook! After some regex magic and testing, we had the feature done. Looking back at it, I thought it was an excellent example on how to compose several CSMM & CPM features together to create a new, unique and powerful feature.

I explain how we built this feature here:
https://docs.csmm.app/en/CSMM/advanced-feature-guide.html

Hope you enjoy :)

Hey everyone!

This announcement is a bit late but CSMM has hit over 800 servers and 100k players! Thank you all for your continued support 😄

I hope you all stay safe (and inside, if you can!) in these difficult times.

FireDaemon guide added
https://docs.csmm.app/en/7d2d/server-management.html

Much thanks to @User 29574345 for this 😄

Since we get this question pretty often, I've decided to add some info on how to automatically restart your server to the docs.

If someone has more info on this topic (especially FireDaemon 😄 ), please let me know. I'd like to expand this a bit more

Update: new domain for CPM

CPM downloads & announcements are now available at https://cpm.denhartog.top https://cpm.7d2d.download/ 😄

This is offtopic but I still wanted to share. Salty Zombies will be doing a Charity live stream tonight for Jax Teller the founder of Raven Hearst overhaul mod. He recently had a heart attack and was hospitalized. His wife Shorty will be playing with them on stream guiding them through Raven Hearst herself. The stream starts 7pm CST time tonight at https://www.facebook.com/SaltyZombies

I'll be doing some maintenance on the EU and AU servers today. Downtime should be minimal but CSMM will restart a couple times

CSMM Updated

Fixed an issue with how CSMM extracts data from a log line when a player connects to the server. This caused all sorts of weird issues that shouldn't happen anymore

PS did you see the updated configuration examples in the docs?
https://docs.csmm.app/en/CSMM/configuration-examples.html

If you made something cool with CSMM/CPM and would like to share it, please add it to that page by clicking the link at the bottom of the article 😄

With the steam downtime right now, CSMM is having a lot of trouble. Please stand by until Steam lives again

Hey everyone

I made a tool to convert Servertools shop XML to JSON that can be imported in CSMM

Happy new year everyone :)

Small CSMM update to fix a bug for people who have their auth info saved in their browser as password

Maintenance on the EU instance now

Maintenance coming up for the public US server, moving to a containerized deployment

EDIT: back online now

CSMM Updated

Minor changes really

public & private instances will be updated shortly (once docker build finishes)

CSMM US is having issues right now, the host is having some routing issue.

Some private instances might also be affected

Investigating US problems

EDIT: Redis cluster took a dive off the deep end, restored it and looks stable again. Will continue to monitor it
