0.8.0 for Towny 0.98.0.0+

SiegeWar 0.8.0 is a full release of the SiegeWar plugin.

Major New Features / Improvements 🔥 🍏 Wars get a well-defined & healthy purpose: Via the Global Domination Awards, which grant weekly awards of money and magical artefacts to the top 7 Globally Dominant nations (/n list). It cannot be overstated how critical this feature is for providing a healthy "purpose" to wars. If your players have ever complained that there is "no point" to conquest, or that they "get nothing" from occupation, then this feature is the direct answer to those concerns. 🐣 💪 Small nations get a boost: Via the Siege Balance Cap, which prevents one side from completely overwhelming the other just by weight of numbers. 🔁 🐓 Earlier counter-attacks are encouraged: Via the upgraded Banner Control Reversal Effect, which boosts generated banner-cap points (rather than an instant bonus). 🕳️ ❌ Siege-Zone grief and Gank-Warfare are both reduced: Via powerful new options within the Trap Warfare Mitigation feature. 🐁 ❌ Claim-Hiding in Siege-Zones is prevented: Via the force-enabling of PVP in all townblocks in the Siege-Zone (even towns with Siege Immunity). 🐑 ❌ Night-Capping is reduced: Via the Capping Limiter, which limits caps for each player to: 3 sessions/day on weekdays, 6 on weekend-days. 🐍 ❌ Logging out/in within the Siege-Zone is prevented: Via automatically killing players who do same. 🕊️ ♻️ Peaceful Towns Refactor: Peaceful towns are renamed to Neutral Towns. To occupy a Neutral town, a king/general must travel to the town and Subvert it, by placing a banner outside it. These towns are not as safe as before. PVP is force enabled in any area of the town which happens to be inside a Siege-Zone. 🦜 💬 Multi-Language Support: Multi-language support now works via. the standard Towny mechanism. Minor New Features / Improvements 🔢 Current Battle is counted if Siege ends in mid-session If a siege ends mid-session, the current battle is resolved, and the points counted. 🐘 Persistent Battle Points Battle points are no longer lost if the server shuts down mid-session. 📆 Weekend-only sieging is Supported. Via the new Siege Start Day Limiter feature. 💻 Performance improvement to siege-glowing A maximum of 2 soldiers now glow - the ones on each team with the most banner-cap-progess. 📝 Switched to using TownyWorld#isWarAllowed(): This replaces the siege_worlds config field. 📝 Made config file more helpful for points balancing: Moved all the relevant configs into a single "Points Balancing" section. 💾 Added Install Command: The command /swa install now allows for easier installation of the plugin. 💾 Streamlined upgrade process: Automatic config migration. ↪️ Moved Features to TownyCombat: Keep Inventory on Death. Map Hiding / Tactical Invisibility. 🗑️ Removed redundant features: Automatic Banner Elevation Detection. Population-Based Points Booster. Nation Refund. Plunder Contributions. Battlefield Observers. Cannon Sessions (to be replaced in future with Wall Breaching). Bug Fixes 🐛 Fix revolt immunity not being saved 🐛 Fix banner-cap boss bar not disappearing 🐛 Fix empty battle session boss bar being displayed to players 🐛 Fix for cap-start message showing an incorrect duration 🐛 Fix Failed SiegeCamp message being broadcast globally. 🐛 Fix /sw nextsession command causing a NPE 🐛 Add Citizens-Repo because it fails to build without it.
