CSMM Updated

Import/export functionality for cron jobs, custom commands and shop listings. It uses JSON format, try exporting your current config to see the syntax. I'll do a more detailed write up in the docs later on but you can play around with it already.
Ingame help
Doesn't link you to the docs anymore, but lists all enabled commands. help will show detailed info
Ingame command aliases
Almost all commands now have aliases. See them with the ingame help command
Fixed some bugs, probably introduced a few new ones aswell :D

CSMM Updated

Fixed an issue in teleport commands where money was taken from players before a teleport was validated
You can now configure certain prefixes to get blocked from discord chatbridge (so commands don't show up there). You can set this in your servers discord settings
New ingame command
```
who
```
which lets players lookup who was in a radius around their current location. Can take an argument for size, maximum is 500
Example:
```
$who 300
```
will search a square around the players current location, 300 blocks in each direction. Default search size is 150
Support ticket notifications will now show the ticket creators name

Back up! ;)

User bddf6907:06 PM

CSMM will be down for a few minutes, I'm investigating some memory issues @here

User bddf6904:18 PM

I added a global ban tracker to the system. You can search for a steam ID in the new global ban list page. Bans will also show up on player profile pages. You can add a note to the ban if you want with some additional data, whatever it may be ;p. This is done from the global ban list page

I'm going to add a discord notification when a player joins with amount of bans > x. Are there any other things you guys want me to do with this data? ;)

CSMM Update

A whole bunch of frontend changes, I'm too lazy to list all of them. I'm sure you will notice them while using the CSMM website :D
Player tracker can display land claims now. So you can find a players land claim and then perform a location search to see who has been there
Optimized the performance of loading tracker data

CSMM update

Analytics page got a makeover and some extra functionality (load more/less data, control what data you see)
Online indicator added to several pages

CSMM needs a privacy policy, if anyone has some experience with privacy policies or privacy law in general, please let me know! I wont ask you to write the whole policy, would like some guidance though :D

User bddf6907:10 PM

CSMM updated!

All new homepage
The internal pages are being reworked aswell. See the server dashboard page for a preview of the new style.
New navigation menu, all your server links will be in one place (no need to go back to user dashboard every time for example)

It's still a work in progress, nothing set in stone yet. Let me know your opinion! ^^

User bddf6908:14 AM

Hey guys!

CSMM has been suffering from an issue with authentication. I've narrowed it down to Steam OpenID but I cannot replicate it in anyway. Its a pretty rare issue (occurred 8 times in 3 months according to sentry) which makes debugging all the more fun >.< . So if anyone notices something weird happening during steam auth I would love it if you could let me know!

Monday, May 28, 2018

User bddf6910:20 AM

updated @User 44159302

Setup is easier, automatic tracking and some more good stuff was added

I know pretty much everyone here is most interested in 7DTD, but I would REALLY REALLY REALLY appreciate it if you forward this bot to friends who play Counter Strike Global Offensive :D

User bddf6906:35 PM

Small CSMM update:

Country ban can ban players now instead of just kicking. Enable in settings (bans them for 10 years)
I hooked up the FPS counters on user and server dashboard to a websocket. They will update every 30 seconds (if players are online) and won't execute the command everytime anymore.
Fixed an issue where public teleports on another server prevented players from making a teleport with the same name

User 227ab303:50 PM

@everyone we are running a artwork competition to win 1 months donator privileges for CSMM.

User bddf6910:07 AM

@everyone

Want automated server restarts?
Want to send a message to your players every x minutes?
Want to execute ANY command in ANY type of time interval?

CSMMs got you covered! Introducing server automation

Configure it from the settings page. Enter a command to execute, a temporal value and done!

Excuse me, temporal value? U wot m8?

That's right! For anyone with some Unix knowledge, the word cron should sound very familiar :). It's a special syntax for time interval values.

But Cata why do you make me look up weird technological syntaxes I've never heard of? :(

The cron syntax allows you to customize the interval however you want! Want something to run every 10 minutes? Check! Want it to run every 25th minute of the hour? Check! Want it to run once a week, on thursday, at 3 am? Check!

Good news, you don't need to become a cron-genius to set up CSMM server automation
https://crontab.guru/

The docs will be updated with info soon, in the mean time I'm happy to help you set up automation rules. Once I see what most people use it for, I can program some preset temporal values or something to make it more user friendly.

Hey @everyone

I decided to make a bot I used on my own server public. Comes with its own website and everything! 😂

It's made with Counter Strike Global Offensive in mind originally, but it can work for any steam game

User bddf6909:26 AM

@everyone please read the above three messages about Discord aspect of CSMM. If you would like to give you input, #offtopic ^^

User bddf6909:16 AM

The downside is that there is now a new argument for every command. This has the side effect of needing " for some cmds. Let me elaborate

If you run a command, this is the basic syntax right
!command arg1 arg2 arg3

Arguments are split by a space (" "). What happens if one of those argument includes a space?

Lets say you want to execute the ingame command "kick Cata".
Ex command syntax:

$ex <command> <server number>

$ex kick Cata

Now, how can the bot know if 'Cata' is part of the argument or ? It's separated by a space right? This is why you have to use "". It tells the bot where an argument can start and/or end

So the correct way of kicking Cata:

$ex "kick Cata"

$ex "kick Cata" 2

I hope this clears up some confusion. If you know a better way to handle this, I am open to discussion. If we can figure out a way which works really well for people with 1 server and people with 100 servers, I'm happy to implement it.

User bddf6909:16 AM

Now, I looked at other ways of differentiating which 7dtd server to run the command for.

Firstly, different prefix per server.

This would work at face value. However, there is still the scaling issue. If someone has 5 servers, you'd need to remember 5 prefixes. Prefixes are harder to remember than labelled text channels. The bot would also need to listen and process alot more messages.

Furthermore, the Discord framework I use does not allow listening to multiple prefixes. This is a concious design decision by the developers of this framework. There are very little use cases where this would be viable.
This means that if I want to implement the multiple prefixes method I would need to override the framework or fork my own or hack it some other way. All of that doesn't seem very appealing from a developer perspective...

The current method.

All commands work in every channel. By default, every command gets executed for "server 1".

$player Cata

To execute on your second server:

$player Cata 2

This has the advantage that is IS scaleable. It requires minimum input from users (literally, 1 extra character added to the command.)

User bddf6909:15 AM

Let me explain the design decision for the new multiple servers/discord

What we used to have, set a specific command channel per 7DTD server.
This worked, but had multiple negatives;

Commands were limited to a single channel. This means if you want 2 channels (public for players, private for ex commands), wasn't possible. Now I could let admins set multiple channels per guild but we'd run into a new problem.

One channel can only be used per server. This means if someone has 3 servers, he would need 6 channels. If someone has 10 servers, he'd need 20. And so on, that's O(2n) and is NOT scalable. This is considering you want a public and private command channel per server.

It also means that if you have multiple 7dtd servers, users MUST go to the specific command channels. Any other channel will not work.

User bddf6907:37 PM

Hey guys! New command added;

$csmmfeedback <message>

This ingame command lets anyone post feedback for CSMM. Be it positive, negative, whatever. It will get posted to #unknown-channel :D

I'd really appreciate it if you guys could announce this to your players, would give us some good insight into what players think about the system.

User bddf6901:46 PM

With all the recent downtime, I feel like I should make a proper announcement

CSMM has changed hosting providers, the downtime was caused by the migration process! CSMM should now be fully available again on the new domain. https://csmm.catalysm.net

Let me know if you find anything not working (some links might still point to the old domain for example)

** Shop **

Donators now have access to the new shop from the economy panel. (see the patron announcements for some more info)

** Docs **

Docs received a big update by @User 25236908

User bddf6905:27 PM

Hey everyone! CSMM website is back at
https://csmm.catalysm.net/

Huge thanks to @User 16276965 for all the help! :D

Thursday, May 3, 2018

User bddf6903:16 PM

Issues weren't fixed :(
For now the website is available at http://54.36.0.1:1338/
All ingame/discord functions should work as normal

I'm hoping to resolve this asap!

User bddf6910:55 AM

@everyone new website url
https://csmm.catalysm.net/

At the moment of typing, https isn't working yet. Working on that, in the meantime you will see an invalid certificate error :). DNS changes are slow...

User bddf6910:46 AM

Doing some site maintenance guys

Wednesday, May 2, 2018

User bddf6908:04 PM

Should be back to normal now :)

User bddf6907:55 PM

Takaro is down but the website is still up. Hoping to fix asap!

Tuesday, May 1, 2018

User bddf6904:30 PM

Actually, since the new commands argument could be considered a breaking change, I will @everyone :)

User bddf6903:55 PM

CSMM update

Serverinfo command

Shows information about your server and config. Much like the old command from Bill :)

Multiple 7dtd servers per discord guild have been reworked

Instead of having to set a command channel, all commands can now take an extra argument. This server selector argument is always the last argument of the command.

For example, you used to execute:

player Cata

ex stopserver 10

Now you can do

player Cata 2

ex "stopserver 10" 2

ex 'say "hello everyone"' 2

To see the list of your servers, you can execute the new command

$listservers

.
-> This will show a list of all servers linked to the discord guild it was executed in

By default, any command will execute for server 1.

Updated discord help

The help command is a little more usable now ^^

Expect changes in the docs soon!

Saturday, April 28, 2018

User bddf6912:41 PM

Another update today :D

I opened up the economy module to non-donators. The economy module allows your players to earn currency ingame and spend it (duh :p)

All the settings related to economy can be found on the economy page (see your server overview). This page also has logs related to economy, though the playtimeEarner and discordTextEarner logs get cleared out pretty often (they're really not THAT useful and they can ramp up very fast). You'll be able to see players' command usage, config updates in these logs. Any logs about a specific player can also be found on his/her player profile page.
All the values (how much players earn or have to pay, intervals, currency name, ...) can be configured to your liking.

Players can currently earn by being ingame or by typing in your discord server.

Players can spend by using the teleport system or custom commands added by a server admin.

See http://csmm.readthedocs.io/en/latest/features/ingame.html#custom-commands for some cool examples of custom commands you could use ^^ (Thanks Matt)

Note: for players to receive money from Discord typing, they need to link their Discord profile to CSMM.

To do this:

login to CSMM with steam
Go to your profile
Login with Discord

After that, your Discord ID will be shown next to the Discord login button on the profile page.

User bddf6909:57 AM

Hey guys

I redesigned the player profile page. Should be easier to read ^^

Tuesday, April 24, 2018

User bddf6901:43 PM

I rolled back to a previous version. Everything should work as usual again!
