Special instructions

• Upgrade from pre-0.79.0.0

  • The chat section of config.yml has been move to a new file, channels.yml. Edit the new channels.yml to your liking.

• Upgrade from pre-0.82.0.0

  • Towny has had TownyPerms added. This new file located at townysettings\townyperms.yml will be generated when you first start your server using Towny 0.82.0.0 or higher.
    • TownyPerms adds town/nation ranks so server admins can specify what each rank can do (nomads, residents, mayors, kings, etc) Admins can also create custom ranks with custom permission sets. Any existing players set as assistants will lose their rank and need to have it re-assigned.
