🤦🏻‍♂️

Paldiu already confirmed TFM is being reworked so that we won't rely on its permission system in the future.

Development Update - October 28th, 2022

Howdy folks, its come time again for another development update.

I've been working diligently on TFM for the newest release. Originally, it was planned for the end of this month, however due to the sheer workload designated for this update, it's taking a bit longer than expected. As of right now, here is a list of things I've done:

• Migrate from legacy ranks to permissible nodes
• Migrate shop to a standalone plugin
• Removed discord bridge in favor of EssentialsXDiscord
• Removed inactive HTTPd modules

ETA: In the same thread you'll see we're already preparing to replace TFM's Discord bridge with EssentialsXdiscord.

discord bot that can be used instead of telnet

not needed, already working on our own solution, not to mention that as ryan's said before -- it'd been deemed a security hazard.

Quote from matscalle

multiverse core allows travel between worlds

this is literally already a thing

Quote from matscalle

adds the ability to generate worlds

what exact purpose would this serve?

Quote from matscalle

we already have this one but it can do bans kicks and a lot of other shit

yes and so can tfm

Filling up disc space speedrun by the sounds of it.

fuck off tfm is awesome

Sure, we could replace the core plugin of the server (TotalFreedomMod) with dozens of off-the-shelf solutions, but at the cost of what? That plugin has several components that off-the-shelf plugin could never possibly replace, including the magic of this server.

Multiverse doesn't add any functionality that lets you generate worlds; that is already built into Bukkit itself. All that plugin does is make the process of creating new worlds and navigating through them more user-accessible, and even then it simply cannot generate worlds like the Flatlands on its own because it doesn't know how to generate them like it.

You know how when someone gets smited, banned, or doomed, it shows a message that calls them a "naughty, naughty boy"? That's been in the TotalFreedomMod for literal decade, and has become part of the charm the server has. You would never be able to recreate it in an off-the-shelf plugin. Never.

The TotalFreedomMod gives admins some very important tools that have been specially-catered to this server, which have since become mission-critical for administrators because of their versatility. Plugins like EssentialsX would never be able to replace those tools because often times said tools are hardly useful for servers that aren't like ours (in other words, most servers). Replacing the TotalFreedomMod with EssentialsX would end up leaving admins without tools they frequently use on a daily basis, which is bad.

When people say we shouldn't use the TotalFreedomMod, they usually mean that they want a more stable core plugin catered to servers like ours that isn't buggy as hell and licensed under a prohibitive license. They don't mean that we should outright get rid of the core plugin that makes us unique in favor of generic solutions.

Object.

I Object. Video made a perfect explanation of this matter.
