Changelog

Version 1.5.2

Fixes:

• Highest and Lowest leaderboards were not checking the correct tables
• Configurable retrieval strategy for all records (either SteamID, PLayer Name, or both) -- always returns player names

Due to how records.json recorded stats and the LiteDB, you will not be able to use the old records with strategies involving the SteamID because prior to 1.5.0 we were not recording the SteamID with the record.

Version 1.5.1

Fixes:

• Toggles for the bottom n players leaderboards (inverse ranked leaderboards)

Version 1.5.0

Features:

• Using LiteDB for record storage.

Because of how unreliable storing the records in a "roll-your-own" database with a JSON file was, and because of the increased flexibility in what could be stored, I've changed the storage system for the recorded player stats to use LiteDB. Currently this means records for join/leave/death/shout/ping will be timestamped, include the position of the event, have the player name, and the player's steamid. Hopefully adding this additional information will allow for more customization options for the users of this mod.

It is set up to do a migration on first load of the updated plugin, the steps it follows for that is:

1. check if records.json (or configured name) exists
2. read all records from the file
3. parse the records
4. loop through all the records and add them to the database

	Records added this way will have position of zero and a
	steamid of 1.

5. move the records.json file to records.json.migrated

If you don't want to have it auto-migrate the records, rename your records.json or delete it. If the name does not match exactly it will not migrate the data.

For the migration steps, it will be outputting log information (at INFO level) with how many records were migrated and which steps completed.

• Ranked Lowest Player Leaderbaord

Added an inverse of the Top Player leaderboard.

• Custom leaderboard heading messages

Added configuration for the messages sent at the top of the leaderboard messages.

• The variable %PUBLICIP% can be used in any message configuration now.
