[Server] MBII Chaos V1 [Windows/Linux]

[Valzhar]

For the last few days I have been working on a Python 3 plugin for MBII server-side and named Chaos below is a bunch of features. I was originally trying to create an ELO and tournament seeding/round robin using blakes_won as a template. I ran into issues where the server.log does not catch duel challenges and wins, only for kills. I am releasing this to the public as I think this could be an opportunity to bring back some of the fun.

The chaos.py script has evolved into a comprehensive RPG-style server management system that integrates character progression, a dynamic economy, and server-state awareness.

1. The Core Progression System​

• 20-Tier Career Paths: There are 14 distinct career paths (7 Hero, 7 Villain), each containing 20 unique titles that evolve every 2.5 levels.
• Leveling & XP: Players earn XP through kills and lose a configurable amount upon death[cite: 1, 2]. "Last Stand Protection" prevents XP from dropping below zero.
• Dynamic Title Logic: The get_title system automatically assigns colors (Cyan for Heroes, Red for Villains) and ranks based on the player's chosen faction and current level.

2. "Smart Switch" Mode Awareness​

• Duel Mode Restriction (Mode 3): Automatically detects g_authenticity setting and restricts all players to "Jedi" or "Sith" titles, regardless of their chosen career.
• Open Mode (0, 1, 2, 4): In all other modes, the full diversity of careers (Mandalorian, ARC Trooper, Droideka, etc.) is unlocked.
• Command Blocking: Prevents players from switching to non-Force careers via !title while the server is in Duel Mode.

3. Economic & Gambling Features​

• Banking System: Credits are stored in the SQLite players.db. Players earn a passive_credit_gain on every kill.
• Pazaak (Casino): A fully functional !pazaak game with !hit and !stand commands. Features a 3x payout for hitting exactly 20 and a persistent Dealer Pot.
• Bounty & Bet Systems: Contributors can pool credits onto a target's head. The process_kill logic automatically sums the dictionary and awards the total to the victor.
• Peer-to-Peer Transfers: Validated !pay transfers allow players to move capital between accounts safely.

4. Advanced Combat Logic​

• Killing Spree System: Tracks consecutive kills without dying. Triggers global server announcements at 5 (Killing Spree), 10 (Unstoppable), and 15 (Godlike) kills.
• Nemesis & Revenge: Tracks "dominance" (3+ kills in a row). Breaking a Nemesis cycle grants a +200cr Revenge Bonus and resets the feud.
• Force Surge: A 5% chance on any kill to trigger a surge, granting 3x XP.
• Wealth Redistribution (Theft): Killing a "Wealthy" player (over 5,000cr) automatically steals 5% of their credits for the killer.
• Bank Heist: A rare 1% chance to "crack the House Vault," stealing 20% of the Pazaak Dealer's credits.

5. Persistent Infrastructure​

• IP-Based Record Syncing: The database now tracks last_ip. If a player changes their name, the script recognizes their IP and automatically re-links their XP, credits, and titles to the new name.
• SQLite Backend: Migrated to players.db using clean_name as a primary key. This ensures data persistence across name changes and server restarts.
• Multi-Port Ready: Uses timeout=20 and conn.commit() logic to allow multiple server instances (different ports) to read and write to the same database file without corruption or locking issues.
• Robust Regex Parsing: Captures Slot ID, Name, and IP simultaneously to ensure the script always knows exactly who is on the server at any given second.

6. Anti-Grief & Team Protection​

• Live Team Tracking: The script parses the status command to monitor team assignments (Rebel vs. Imperial) in real-time across all game modes.
• Traitor Penalty: Automatically detects Team Kills. Instead of rewards, the killer is slapped with a -500 XP and -1000cr penalty, their kill streak is reset, and a global "TRAITOR" announcement is broadcast.
• Suicide/World Filtering: Sophisticated filtering ignores world deaths (fall damage, map hazards) and suicides to prevent accidental XP loss or reward triggers.
• Anti-Farming Logic: By validating team IDs before processing rewards, the script prevents players from killing friends on the same team to "farm" XP or credits.

Well, I am still doing alot of bug-fixing and moved it to sqlite3 to handle databases easier. This server-side plugin is also good for anyone else wanted to expand or use as template for another project.
