This release adds password-protected servers, several whitelist and admin panel improvements, and a redesigned join flow in the Launcher. It also introduces two new fields for the public server list.

To take advantage of the server-side features, update your server binaries to version 0.2.4. The new join flow and server list fields require the ReadyM Launcher version 0.30.0 or later, so make sure to update your Launcher as well.

The new 0.2.4 server and SDK should be compatible with mods built on the 0.2.3 SDK, but we recommend testing your mods with the new SDK to ensure compatibility.

Server passwords​

You can now protect your server with a password by setting Server:Password in config.json. When it is set, players are prompted for the password in the Launcher before they can join. Leaving it empty keeps the server open. The password applies to everyone, including admins and whitelisted players.

See the installation documentation for details.

Whitelist and admin panel​

A few changes make running a whitelisted server easier:

  • When a player who is not on the whitelist tries to join, they are now added to the player list in the admin panel, so you can whitelist them without needing their ID up front.
  • Admins are added to the player list when they log into the admin panel.
  • Admins now bypass the whitelist, so you are never locked out of your own server.

Server list​

Two new optional fields give your server more identity on the public list:

  • ServerList:Description: a short description (up to 300 characters) shown on the server's card in the Launcher.
  • ServerList:Country: an ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code (for example PL), used to show a flag on the card.

See the server list documentation for the full configuration reference.

Launcher​

Launcher 0.30.0 ships a new modal for joining servers. It handles password entry, shows the server's description and country, and improves the direct connect flow.
