Netgoat

NetGoat

NetGoat is a Velocity plugin that redirects players to the best server based on their connection. It offers two methods for redirection: hostname-based and latency-based.

Features

- Latency Redirection: Redirect players to specific servers based on the hostname they use to connect. - Latency Redirection: Automatically sends players to the server with the lowest ping for the best connection.

Configuration

After the first run, a `config.toml` file will be generated in the `plugins/netgoat` directory.

Here is an overview of the configuration options:

- `default-server`: The server a player will be sent to if no other rule matches. - `[regions]`: A list of your server regions and their corresponding server names in Velocity. - `[hostnames]`: A list of hostnames that map to specific regions. - `[ping-routing]`: Configure the behavior of the latency-based redirection. - `timeout`: How long to wait for pings to complete (in milliseconds). - `default-region`: The fallback region if no server with a good ping is found. - `max-ping`: The highest acceptable ping for a server to be considered.

Usage

1. Place the plugin JAR file in your Velocity proxy's `plugins` directory. 2. Start your proxy to generate the `config.toml` file. 3. Stop the proxy and edit the `config.toml` to match your network configuration. 4. Start the proxy again and the plugin will be active.
