v1.4.0.0 - Improved reliability and performance improvements

• Implemented fixes for backpack system crashes, memory leaks, and permission issues:

  • Attempted to resolve thread safety issues to prevent server freezing during heavy use.
  • Workaround for possible memory leaks by ensuring backpacks properly clean up when players leave.
  • Implemented fix for permission changes to handle item preservation and restoration correctly.
  • Optimized file operations to make saving/loading more efficient.
  • Enhanced overflow system to prevent item loss and duplication on permission changes.

• Attempts to improve overall plugin functionality:

  • Atomic saves to ensure data integrity even during server crashes.
  • Admin tools refinement to allow viewing player backpacks without conflicts.
  • Constants implementation for navigation arrows and slots to replace magic numbers.
  • Loop protection to prevent items from getting stuck in endless loops.

• Performance optimization attempts

  • Reduced memory usage per player.
  • Accelerated file operations for faster backpack interactions.
  • Improved queue management to reduce "wait to open" occurrences.

Previous Version:

• v1.3.2.0:
  • Fixed Messages not loading from file
  • Made so if the player has items present in the overflow file, it will be visible from the /bpview command so an admin can take and recover items
• v1.3.1.0:
  • Added fallback option to prevent losing items on permission shrinks
  • Added lock mechanism to prevent two players accessing the same inventory at the same time (ex. /bp and /bpview), not ideal but safest approach to prevent item duping
  • Rewrote Messages, Titles, and Item Names to read from configuration files for player customization
  • Command /vsreload no longer needed to update inventory sizes - now done automatically
  • Command /vsreload now reloads the text cache used for titles and messages
