Development News

Yesterday, the first OA public test for OCN gamemodes in a while was hosted, and it went better than expected, and optimizations are already under way. Over the past two weeks, Operation Ares plugins received a number of updates, out of which these are the most important:

• Added locked and unshareable items


• Added enchantment API to SportPaper


• Added 1.7 backwards compatibility for action bars and enchanting tables


• Control points are now coded and undergoing a bit of polish. KOTH is under way


• CTF is almost done. KOTF is under way


• Added a book explaining how UHC teams work (and an API for giving players translatable books)


• Implemented god apple disabling


• Significant performance improvements

Aside from that, PGM received a few updates: Block 36 can now be removed on maps with an XML tag, and mutations now require a minimum percentage of players which can benefit from them.
