Updating from Bungee Chat 1

Since we dropped all support for Bungee Chat 1, we do recommend you to update to Bungee Chat 2. You can simply do this by downloading the newest build on the SpigotMC.org page of the plugin. There are however some important changes in the way that Bungee Chat 2 does things. These changes will be further explained in the paragraphs below.

Changes in the Way of Saving Userdata

The way of saving userdata has been changed in Bungee Chat 2. As Bungee Chat 1 used (editable) YAML-files, Bungee Chat 2 does use SAV-files, which no longer can be edited directly. This also mean that you can delete your old, YAML-userfiles. So what if I do not want to use these new files? Well, Bungee Chat 2 does have another way to save data: using a MySQL database. You can enable this way of saving by opening your new config.yml. If you did just simply edit the AccountDataBase section in the configuration and reload the plugin using the /bungeechat reload command.

Changes in the Configuration

As Bungee Chat 1 ended with configuration version 8.0, Bungee Chat 2 will just continue with version 9.0. So does that mean that I do have to re-configure my whole config again... :(? Nope! Bungee Chat 2 will create the config.new.yml for you which is a copy of the version 9.0 config. Just copy your stuff from your version 8.0, for the settings that have not changed and edit the newly added settings in the config. If you have done this just remove the config.yml and rename your config.new.yml to config.yml and reload the plugin using the /bungeechat reload command.
