AutoRestart UI 2.5.1

Hi Crash, pretty nice plugin and neat ui - makes it simple for admins to organise restarts and notify players in game and on discord.
I like that, it all works nicely as intended.

However I have some minor issues -
Perhaps you could help:   First, for posting to Discord notifications,
is there no way to specify how many times this is done, in the config?


it would be really great if we could choose at which intervals discord messages are posted in minutes.
Or by using the Alerts, Warning Times config area:

For example I have:

Alerts": {
    "WarningTimes": [
      30,
      10,
      5,
      1
    ]
  },

Its very spammy currently and I dont want it to post every alert to discord, like this.



Thanks in advance for any assistance with this,

Best regards,
Manky

Hello Manky!! Yes, i can add a option to use the final minute countdown or not. i see you have the 1 minute warning alert setted up, the plugin will warn players even if you dont have it on the config. ill add something this night for your needs!

Hi Crash,

Thank you for the quick reply. That's good to know about the 1 minute warning, I will removethat then if its is already automatic.
Posting gui or notify alerts in game from 60 seconds or less countdowns is fine but being able to toggle it off for discord would be great.
Also becuase of discord webhook posting limitations.

There's no hurry but that would be really appreciated and I think everyone could benefit from having this option available.

Otherwise I'm really liking your plugin- keep up the nice work.

Thanks a lot.

Hello Crash,

I'm unsure of when it started, but I just noticed this morning that the plugin is not counting down the last minute with the audible sound or the UI notifications. Below is my config. I was under the impression it counted down the last minute automatically. Is this something I need to do manually now? It is counting down the 15-2 times that I have manually added to the config, but nothing for the last 1 minute. I'm assuming the 'UseFullMinuteCountdown' setting is just for Discord notifications. Thank you!

Hello ManOWar, this is not something im aware of. Im going to contact you in DMs so we can track it down and fix it!

Anyone have a good config to share for this or can explain to me how it works? I'd like to do my manual restart at 7am EST Eastern time daily and do a single 1 Hour Warning then 30 Minute Warning then 10 Minute Warning then do a single warning each minute down to 1 minutes then count down 60 seconds to 0.

Is this possible? If so what should my config look like to do this I'm pretty bad at configs

Hey Slayers, you would need to have this;
The final minute countdown including seconds isnt needed as the plugin already has a function to ALWAYS notice players from 1 minute till the restart of the server!

This works perfect excited to deploy it later! Why does it use the quit command? if I disable this line     "UseQuitCommand": true will it then use the more favorable "Restart" command?
 

3. quit

Purpose: Forcefully exits the server.

Effect:

Does not save the server state or player progress.

Disconnects all players immediately.

Closes the server process without preserving the current session.

Use Case: Use this only in emergencies (e.g., if the server is stuck or unresponsive) to terminate it quickly.

no, they don't act the same way. If you want to ensure your server comes back online automatically, you should use "restart 1" rather than "quit". The only way "quit" would behave like "restart 1" is if you have a service manager (like pterodactyl, systemd, RCON, or a batch script) configured to automatically restart the server process when it terminates with quit.

Okay so this config option should be set like this "UseQuitCommand": false

UseQuitCommand: False if I want it to use the Restart 1 command @crash?

I have a problem i tried to use the plugin and it did not restart my server. It just said this in console then nothing after. Also here is my config. I use Linux Pterodactyl panel with IcedHost. Also some chat thing just stuck on the screen.

Ill contact you in DMs to help you out further Slayers!

Just a quick question. Does this plugin actually restart the server? Or is it purely a warning for a restart that we have to scheduled ourselves?

Hey Wizz, yes, it does restart the server per the schedule you've set, and it will notify your players in game according to the notifications you've set. It's a fantastic plugin with a great looking UI. It uses the C4 beeping sound for your restart countdown, which is a nice touch. You can also integrate it with your Discord server if you'd like to relay the notifications to a channel there. Most importantly, the developer is very responsive. It's a solid plugin and well worth the price.

Okay, sounds good. will take a look into it

Hi, I'm using a hosting that has TCAdmin and it doesn't support reboot for update, you have to shut down the server, manually update steam/oxide and then turn it back on.

I could create a command to shut down the server that works with the counter just like the reboot, but the server stops.

Hello sir, just to clarify, you want a /shutdown command just like the /restart command that will basically shutdown the server?
