Server Shader Gate & Enforcer

shader_hash parameter to the client mod, server mod, and plugin configurations.

• The client mod can now automatically calculate the shader file hash using the SHA-256 algorithm.

• The hash must be manually specified in the server mod and plugin configurations (required for verification).

A hidden clientVersion parameter in the client mod, server mod, and plugin configurations.

• This parameter is not written to the config file and cannot be modified by users or administrators.

• The server mod/plugins check clientVersion against their own required version. If a mismatch is detected, the player is kicked with a specific message prompting them to update the client mod.

exempt_players parameter for server mod and plugin configurations.

• Allows excluding certain players from configuration and client mod checks.

• Exempted players can play on the server without installing the SSGE client mod or using any shaders.

• Useful for administrators, moderators, and other server staff.

Server command /ssge reload.

• Allows reloading the plugin or server mod configuration without restarting the server.

New connection termination messages and tweaks to existing ones.

• On version mismatch: a distinct SSGE client version mismatch message with the required version highlighted in green and a download link.

• On shader/config mismatch: a message with the link highlighted in yellow, accompanied by a dark gray warning beneath it.

• On client mod absence: a message specifying the required mod version and a download link.

Slightly modified the behavior for receiving and writing the link to the ssge_link.txt file.

• The link is now sent to the client mod only if there is a configuration mismatch between the client and server.

• The client mod now automatically opens the ssge_link.txt file after receiving and writing the link.

• The ssge_link.txt file now includes an explanation for its generation, brief shader installation instructions, and a detailed warning about the risks of following external links.
