Would love to love it, but I just can’t. I’ve been trying to use UL for a while now and have run into many different issues. Admittedly, some of them were caused by myself and were quickly resolved with the help of Mevent’s awesome support team on Discord. However, even after clearing every obstacle I had created myself, I still found myself disappointed by several internal issues with the plugin - starting with its performance and extending to quality-of-life features. Even after suggesting improvements, they either take a long time to be implemented or seem to be disregarded (most likely just not seen, but it’s still frustrating to have tickets go unanswered and eventually closed after days or weeks without a response). These issues didn’t stop me from using the leaderboard - until recently. “Recently” refers to when I discovered that this plugin was the sole reason for my skyrocketing memory consumption. At first, I assumed a random plugin was leaking memory or that Rust itself was acting up (since I added the leaderboard around the naval update, I thought the issues were related to that rather than UL specifically). My memory usage kept increasing over time, eventually reaching around 22 GiB with just 10-40 players on average, a 3.5k map, ~110 plugins, and daily restarts. After removing UL for a single restart to measure the difference (Carbon’s profiler showed a huge amount of MySQL-related load, as I’m using UL with MySQL rather than JSON/SQLite), I was suddenly presented with my server’s memory usage being cut in half - down to around 11-16 GiB. Don’t get me wrong - the plugin is lovely and both my players and staff loved its UI and depth. However, given the issues I’m currently facing and everything I’ve experienced while trying to set this up, I simply don’t feel like I’ve gotten my money’s worth. I will revisit this review if and when support is able to help further, offer a partial reimbursement, or fix these issues in general (Harmony hooks are much lighter for collecting/tracking stats, by the way - chef’s kiss). But for now, one star for the plugin itself and a second star for the support I’ve received so far is all I can give.

Offline Raid Separation would work well with this.

I was just curious - didn't mean to be spiteful in case my message read like that. I'm sure you've done a great job on your plugin. Was simply curious as theres a free alternative with nearly the same functionality (from whats written in the details) which has been available since mid 2024 on another platform. Admittively, it's one of the more nieche platforms for rust plugins. Again, appreciate your kind response and wish you well! Kindest Regards Tikomatura

Is this a ripoff of the free minigunreload plugin by VisEntities?

I'd like to suggest supporting different Shop- and Economic-Systems such as Shop by Mevent or Economics on uMod in a way which lets configurators choose, if the points should be translated into currency and if so, in which scale. Thank you in advance!

while i did manage to get the egg running eventually (had to import the egg instead of just updating it), the logging format still doesnt appear to work on a freshly installed server using the latest egg.

As mentioned in previous comments, the server wont start using the newest egg. Yes, ive tried multiple times and ensured proper copypasting of the startup variables. additionally tried creating a new server from scratch. probably just a typo or something similar somewhere as the startup log suggests its something related to either UTF-8 not being properly used or characters within the startup command (disrupts at line 2 bash -c)
