How to update the plugin?

Does the change log have database schema changes?

• Preparation for update with database schema changes

Game servers

• Replace the jar file
• Restart the server

💭 Why can't I reload instead of restarting?

The jar contains some of the web-resources and if the server is not restarted the JVM classpath may point to the wrong jar file, leading to errors on the website.

Network

• Replace all jar files
• Restart the servers

💭 Can I update just the proxy server?

In some cases this is possible, but it is recommended to update all servers anyway.

It is not possible when:

• The update has changes to data gathering from game server
• The update contains database schema changes

Note that old versions may continue to function despite incompatibilities, but such functionality is not guaranteed since it is not tested when updating the plugin.
