NodePanel 2 Update 2.21.0

Our entire team has had a really busy start to 2020. While our marketing team has been laser focused on the beginnings of the official Nodecraft Twitch and YouTube channels, our dev team has been toiling away at making everything you love about running game servers at Nodecraft even better! Today's update is massive and includes a wide array of changes for games that include UI for new features, quality of life settings, and the usual bugfixes. With our dev team growing, we were able to focus on several new UI refreshes to parts of our UI that haven't changed since NodePanel V1 such as the One Click Installer!

One Click Installer UI

One of the most difficult parts of running your game server is keeping things up to date and correctly installed. That challenge gets harder for the Nodecraft team as we track almost track over 9,000 game server releases across out entire catalog of games! This refreshed UI update includes a ton of changes to help make it incredibly obvious what your game server currently has installed, what you're about to install, and how our system is going to modify those files. Previously, a simple dropdown wasn't clear enough, so we had our art and customer support team work together to bring you the new changes to this essential UI.

Streamer Mode

Our devs are ready to admit something: it took us far too long to add this feature to NodePanel. After weeks of our Marketing team hounding everyone, we finally added some game server privacy for streamers and the players connected to the server. With Streamer Mode enabled, your server's hostname, IP address, and any other IPs in the server console will be hidden from view. If you need that UI, it's as simple as clicking to reveal it. So feel free to manage the server while live, recording, or just when you don't much feel like sharing.
