New Player Welcome + Webook/RCON 1.0.1

Keep your staff informed without flooding your Discord.

NewPlayerWelcome is a smart, lightweight plugin that sends a welcome message to RCON and Discord only once when a new player joins your Rust server. It avoids clutter, respects returning players, and works with or without the popular ConnectionDB plugin.

Perfect for PvP/PvE, modded, community, or whitelisted servers that want to track fresh joins without daily Discord spam.

• First-Time Detection Only — Tracks SteamIDs and avoids re-welcoming
• ConnectionDB or Standalone Support — Toggle in config
• Custom Discord Message — Use placeholders like (SERVERNAME) and (PLAYERNAME)
• Webhook Support — Sends clean messages to your Discord
• Stores Player Data — Saves SteamIDs to avoid duplicate welcomes
• Test Command Included — Use /testwelcome to simulate a new join
• Configurable — Easily toggle modes or update webhook/messages
