[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.

MBII Chaos Plugin: Career & Economic Framework
A high-performance Python framework for Movie Battles II (Jedi Academy) introducing persistent progression, a complex galactic economy, and dynamic career systems.​

---

🛡️ Core Systems

1. Career & Identification Systems

• 50-Tier Career Progression: Players climb through 50 levels of prestige. Careers feature dynamic titles that evolve automatically as players hit XP milestones (250 XP per level).
• UI Stability Protocol: Optimized for the JKA engine's font rendering; uses color-code anchoring to eliminate spacing gaps and "Chaos" text alignment issues.
• Imperial Datapad (!rank): Displays real-time global standings with a text-based telemetry bar [IIIIII....] for clear visual progress tracking.
• Last Stand Protocol: Dynamic XP deduction on casualties with a safety floor at Level 1 (0 XP) to maintain player retention.

2. "Smart Switch" Mode Awareness

• Duel Mode Protocol: Real-time detection of g_authenticity (Mode 3). When active, the system overrides selected careers to force Jedi/Sith titles for immersion.
• Dynamic Command Filtering: The !title system and help menus automatically update their logic based on active server variables (cvars).

3. Economic & Banking Features

• Galactic Banking: Persistent credit storage in SQLite. Credits are earned through combat and saved instantly via IP/GUID signatures to prevent data loss.
• Pazaak Implementation: A full replica of the KOTOR card game including customizable side-decks (!pazaak), dealer pots, and session-safety bet refunds.

4. Advanced Combat Logic

• Killstreaks & Nemesis: Tracks consecutive eliminations. Identifying a "Nemesis" (3+ kills on same target) unlocks a +200cr Revenge Bonus for the victim.
• Force Surge & Theft: Random 5% chance for a 3x XP Surge on kills. Includes a 5% "Capital Transfer" logic when eliminating High-Value Targets (>5,000cr).
• Vault Heists: A 5cr "House Tax" is applied to every kill. Players have a 1% chance to breach the vault, stealing a percentage of the global pot.

5. Infrastructure & Security

• SMOD Admin Integration: Robust parser for SMOD smsay allowing real-time stat management with global [ADMIN] chat feedback.
• RCON Sync Engine: Forces real-time name resolution via RCON status to prevent "New Player" placeholders and ensure accurate logging.

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.
