This update focuses on some lobby improvements, most notably the new Teams Editor: this new tool allows you to name and create custom teams for your Bingo lobbies instead of the default ones.

Additionally, the room host can now drag and drop players between teams to rearrange players how they like before the game starts. This should make it much easier to coordinate public games, or it may allow you to help that friend who doesn't understand how the UI works.

For specific competitive scenarios, a new room option has also been added that disallows players to switch their own team, while only the room host can assign players to their teams.

When new players join a game that has either the "Randomize Teams" or the new "Host Controls Setup" options enabled, they will no longer be able to choose their team and instead be assigned to the least populated team.

Tiles on the miniature Bingo board can now be double-clicked to open the map instead of a single click, making it easier to drag the Bingo board around the screen without accidentally opening any map.

Due to some demand, it is now also possible to start Bingo games with only 1 player. However, match statistics will not be saved in that case.

Bug fixes in this update:

• Fixed win conditions not being checked immediately when the grace period ends
• Fixed alignment issues on map leaderboards
• Removed team controls for players who are not the host in a lobby
• Fixed no time limit "∞" not being displayed correctly

With this update, a new "Late Join" setting has been added to Bingo games. When this is enabled, new players can join even after a game has been started. New players can choose which team they want to join, and hop in the game instantly!

Keybind settings have also been added. You can now rebind the following keys in the plugin settings:

• Open Chat (default: Enter)
• Toggle Map List (default: Tab)

This update also fixes the following bugs:

• Fixed a crash when too many chat messages were sent.
• Fixed mappack loading from TMX by porting it to the new API. This may lead to longer load times for large mappacks because of pagination.
• Partially fix loading of multiple maps at the same time.
• Various UI fixes and tweaks.

• Text chat has arrived: you can send messages to other players like on a server! Private team chats will follow up in a later update.
• Open maps by clicking on the miniature board without having to open the map list. A handy shortcut!
• The daily challenge has been removed due to low activity. New gamemodes may be considered in the future.
• Revamped map rerolls: everyone gets to vote when a map reroll is proposed, the vote passes if a majority of players say "Yes".
• Various fixes and compatibility ports for game updates.

Hey all! This is a small bugfix update addressing the following issues:

• Fixed a crash when selected a TMX map tag in the create menu.
• Correctly clear your last connected match after leaving the game.
• You can now drag the bingo board around again.

This small update brings a couple of improvements to your Bingo experience. Featuring:

• A new in-game teams display. At the moment, it is only useful to show your list of teammates, but this new menu will get expanded upon in future versions to provide extra information about the state of each player.
• Reconnection is back! Since the 4.0 update, you could not rejoin your active games after closing the game. This update reintroduces it, and it should hopefully be able to save a few of your games.
• Cells can now be pinged by double-clicking on the bingo grid to get the attention of other players on something happening on the bingo grid. This is only visible to your own team, so use it to plan out your strategy or to yell ALERT!!! when the other team is one map away from winning.

Quality of life update! Public profiles have been slightly tweaked, they now only show the amount of matches played. If you have won a daily challenge, it will also display your daily wins, as a small showoff.

There's also been a new addition to the Daily Challenge. You can now access the history of all past daily challenges, including how many players participated and who were the winners.

A couple of bugs have been fixed:

• Maps will be shuffled again when restarting a new game from the same room
• Fix invisible settings window
• Fix reroll button alignment issues
• Daily challenge timer is now correctly positioned

A small hotfix for today's update containing the following fixes:

• Fixed issues related to the Daily Challenge not loading.

• Fix a plugin crash caused by window resizing.

• Added a workaround for weird icons in some tooltips.

It's finally here! After so much work poured into this update over multiple months, I am happy to release Update 4 for everyone to play and enjoy. Here comes the huge list of changes:

• Public rooms: A new public games menu allows everyone to find and join your game easily, no need to share a join code when everyone is welcome! You can also subscribe for notifications when someone opens a public game to play.
• Daily Challenge: a special bingo challenge where all players try to get a bingo on the same grid during all day. Can you defend your maps from everyone else?
• Player profiles: a public profile has been added for all players, showing how many Bingo matches you have played (since this update came out), along with your wins and losses. Don't worry, I'm sure nobody will worry about the fact that you haven't won any games...
• New match settings: these include randomizing teams, finer time limit controls and a new game phase, the grace period. If enabled, bingos cannot be scored for a certain amount of time from the start of the match.
• You can now immediately go back to the lobby from a game that just ended. No need to back out of the game, you can stay in the same room and the settings will be preserved!
• In addition to overtime, tiebreakers have been added. If nobody has claimed a bingo by the end of the time limit, the win will go to whichever team has claimed the most maps.
• Map Rerolls: If players agree to a majority vote, an unclaimed map on the bingo grid can be rerolled for another map. Sometimes kacky maps can be annoying, but now you can ditch them if that's your thing.
• Map Leaderboards: when there's many players who attempted to claim a map, you might be interested in knowing which times the previous players got, not just the current top time. And now that is possible!
• What if you accidentally created too many teams for your game? Well, now you can also delete teams if you're the host. Wow, that's such a thoughtful addition, I can't possibly imagine how someone could have gotten this idea.
• To improve game stability, maps are now cached on the server to reduce the load and reliance on TrackmaniaExchange. You heard it, no more "couldn't load maps" issues in your lobby just because TMX was down! That's a big relief.
• The plugin will memorize your last game settings when creating a new room, so you don't have to reselect "Random Maps" every time you start a game. It does get annoying at some point.

Minor patch update with a few important improvements and fixes before the next major update. Impoved performance and stability have come from the following changes:

• Fix crash issues with users who recently changed their Ubisoft username.
• Improve performance of font loading. This also means there no longer are any custom fonts in the plugin, but I'm sure they won't be missed.
• Reduce verbosity of protocol logging messages.

This small update fixes issues with Openplanet's new UI scaling settings. New exports have also been added to allow other plugins to interact with Bingo (exports are still very much a work in progress).

Okay, for real this time, we fixed the disconnection bug. Please don't yell at us.

This small update contains a fix for a disconnection loop bug that could happen when connecting to the server.

Includes the following fixes:

• Potential fix for a terrible double lobby bug
• Fix game timer not stopping when a game has ended
• Added retries when connecting to the server
• The client will regularly ping the server to check for a disconnection

This update comes with a huge changelog:

• Complete network rewrite, which should greatly reduce the number of disconnection errors
• Auto-reconnect: rejoin your game even after a crash!
• UI revamp in many different menus: room creation, lobby, maplist and infobar
• Time limits: for when you don't want your games to last too long
• Grid sizes are now variable: from tiny 3x3 to a huge 8x8 grid!
• The name of the player who claimed the map is now visible in the maplist
• Change room settings from within the room
• Openplanet authentification integration: all usernames are now verified by Openplanet's servers, so your friend can't fake his name and cause chaos in the lobby
• Home menu: get the latest hot news for the gamemode
• Featured mappacks: from time to time, you'll receive suggestions for curated mappacks to play in bingo
• Basic plugin exports: small interface for other plugins to communicate with Bingo
• Fix a crash related to the pause menu

A new major update has been released! New features include:

• Play with up to 6 teams in a single game! (Thanks to LukeTheVirus for contributing this feature!)
• Play with maps from a specific mappack on TMX
• Revamped information bar, now displays the time to beat on the current map
• The square you are playing on is highlighted on the bingo board
• Maps can be played even after the bingo game has ended
• Tiny maplist option: small bingo board to make it easier to play on lower resolutions
• Various fixes here and there

This is a bugfix update addressing the overwhelming amount of bugs reported since the plugin launched! Thank you all for reporting all these problems and helping us fix these terrible bugs.

8 bugs have been addressed in this release, including the infamous "why won't my game start?" problem. An indicator has been added to inform you of when your game is ready to start or if a problem occurred when fetching the maps (if that happens, you can go to sleep until TrackmaniaExchange is back up).
