Because of how unreliable storing the records in a "roll-your-own"
database with a JSON file was, and because of the increased flexibility
in what could be stored, I've changed the storage system for the
recorded player stats to use LiteDB. Currently this means records for
join/leave/death/shout/ping will be timestamped, include the position of
the event, have the player name, and the player's steamid. Hopefully
adding this additional information will allow for more customization
options for the users of this mod.
It is set up to do a migration on first load of the updated plugin, the
steps it follows for that is:
1. check if records.json (or configured name) exists
2. read all records from the file
3. parse the records
4. loop through all the records and add them to the database
Records added this way will have position of zero and a
steamid of 1.
5. move the records.json file to records.json.migrated
If you don't want to have it auto-migrate the records, rename your
records.json or delete it. If the name does not match exactly it will
not migrate the data.
For the migration steps, it will be outputting log information (at INFO
level) with how many records were migrated and which steps completed.
Ranked Lowest Player Leaderbaord
Added an inverse of the Top Player leaderboard.
Custom leaderboard heading messages
Added configuration for the messages sent at the top of the leaderboard

now.
