Update Checker 4.2.5

I would love it if you could add https://game4freak.io/ to the supported list

Would it also be possible to have the mod output the list of files needing updates to a json file with just each pluginname.cs would be helpful too!

Lots of people are asking for this, but the author is shutting down / ignoring all requests. The reason seems to be that Update Checker depends on ServerArmour's website under the hood, and SA doesn't support Game4Freak. I bet if someone were to get SA to add LD support, UpdateChecker would follow suit.

Nevermind, answered.

Update: Turns out that game4freak.io doesn't provide a proper API for services to check for updates, and it would be rude and fragile to scrape the site.

An API is in the works - follow here: https://game4freak.io/threads/providing-an-api-for-third-party-integration.135/

I can't seem to get the command uc_check_config to work. I type it in server console, nothing. I type it in F!, nothing.

Just updated and tried uc_clean_config

Had one file needing removed. It removed them all.

This just wiped every config off my server.....

4.2.2 version?

Just restored all the files then ran it again and it cleaned up only the neccesary 18 files, its fixed now

uc_clean_config
Failed to call hook 'console_uc_clean_config' on plugin 'UpdateChecker v4.2.3' (DirectoryNotFoundException: Could not find a part of the path '/home/container/oxide/config/UpdateCheckerConfigsBackup/DoubleJump.json'.)

I had to create the "UpdateCheckerConfigsBackup" folder manually and then did not get the error.

I like the new Discord format!

The config files checker feels like an unrelated feature, but it's appreciated anyway - helped me find some old stuff to clean out.

last update is bagged

not sending in the discord the updates also in the console

for what its worth - I had to delete the message I was using previously and put in a new message id.

That's strange, we're using the latest version and not seeing these kinds of errors.
Did you make sure to backup then create a new configuration file when updating from the previous plugin version?

Best to allow the plugin to create a new config then ammend it with the options you use from your previous one.

It looks like it's picking up RustEdit stuff plus some custom map stuff (I recognize IslaNublarProtection because I also own that map - you shouldn't be running that plugin unless you're running that map).

The webhook post to discord feature is nice addition, does it require a bot to post? I'm new to doing such things so I'm not sure how to get the
"Discord message ID":

No bot necessary, just go to the channel you want it to post in, click on edit channel, then integrations to add a webhook. There you can create the webhook, name it and give it an avatar. Copy that URL and put it in your config file. 

As for the Discord message ID, you will have to wait for the plugin to post it's first message and then you can right click that message to get the message ID, assuming you have dev mode on. This will make the plugin update the same message every time it posts instead of posting a new message in the channel. It is optional, you could leave it blank and have the plugin post a new message every hour (or whenever) if you want.

Now I understand, I had read the provided guide on the description and some other documentation but for some reason thought the message ID was necessary and misunderstood how that functioned, so kept filling it in with the Channel ID and getting an error.

I have it working now, thanks so much!
