AMP ‘Decadeus’ 2.4.2 Release Notes

This release is a major update, with significant new features and enhancements - with changes in just about every single component in AMP.

The easiest way to update (For both Windows and Linux) is to open a shell/command prompt and run:

ampinstmgr upgradeall

10 Years of CubeCoders!

This update commemorates 10 years of CubeCoders! In honour of this occasion, we’ve slapped together a swanky new theme for you all to enjoy. Select it from the Theme setting and do a force refresh to get that purply goodness!

New Features

Setting Links

The descriptions of settings can now include links to other settings that when clicked, take you directly to that setting. Very useful when two settings are closely related or depend on each other.

Schedule Toggles

As you can see in the preview screenshot above, you can now toggle on/off schedule triggers! This lets you temporarily pause and resume specific triggers without having to remove and re-do everything.

Display Hostnames

This new feature accommodates situations where AMP isn’t reasonably able to correctly guess what hostname should be presented to users. This setting lets you set this for a given target and all instances within it. This affects things like the Connect to Server button and the SFTP server links.

Dismiss all notifications

If you’ve had a pile of notifications pile up while you were away, dismissing them all could be annoying or required you to restart that instance entirely. Now there’s a convenient ‘Dismiss All’ button that does it all in go.

The height of the notifications area has also been limited and is scrollable to avoid large numbers of notifications dominating the display.

Resource monitoring display in Docker

Previously, even when resource limits such as a memory limit were imposed on a Docker container, the AMP instance within it was still aware of the amount installed on the host and assumed that to be the limit when displaying metrics. This now behaves in a more intuitive manner and shows the container limits that the application will be limited to.

ARM64/aarch64 resource monitoring

In previous releases, ARM systems could not show some resource metrics due to differences in how things like the number of CPU cores were reported. AMP now understands this difference in behaviour and accommodates it.

Permissions system updates

A few changes have been made to the permissions system. Namely that users created inside an instance can no longer see any users that were created outside that instance when they look at the list of users.

Other Changes

  • Search results for settings no longer show markdown links as their markdown, and instead just shows the text, ignoring the URL.
  • Search results no longer try and show hidden settings that aren’t accessible to the user.
  • Fixed the container notice being incorrectly shown for applications that support containers, but that don’t outright require/recommend them.
  • Fixed update stages stalling on certain types of long-running tasks.
  • Browsing a directory in SFTP that contains a file whose name contains a backslash will no longer prevent you from seeing files in that directory (but the file with the slash in its name will not be visible)
  • Fixed an issue where update stages might run out-of-order
  • Fixed a handful of issues with BattleEye RCON (although some sporadic issues may remain)
  • Fixed an issue where failing to sleep could cause AMP to stall entirely because the status wasn’t checked.
  • Fixed the CreateFile update stage not honouring the OverwriteExistingFiles flag correctly.
  • Fixed PreStartStages not being filtered based on OS.
  • API change - Parameter names are no longer case sensitive.
  • Permissions system change - Users can no longer add users to a role if they do not already have every single permission within that role.
  • Fixed an issue where AMP startup could stall if the external IP address could not be resolved promptly.
  • Fixed an issue where it wasn’t possible to remove a target from a controller if the target was offline.
  • Fixed an issue where if using BypassController - plugins were not loaded on target ADS instances which made instances unmanageable with the default configuration.
  • BattlEye and SourceRCON clients now tolerate bad packets and just try to carry on rather than dropping the connection on a bad packet.
  • Added an additional Bedrock Version fallback for Linux systems.
  • Updated Rust module to include new Query port.
  • Updated URLs for FiveM module updates.
  • Bad certificates for web server will actually prompt AMP to shut down and trigger diagnostics rather than sitting there doing nothing.
  • Fixed not being able to trash files/directories that don’t have a matching directory structure within Trash already.
  • Fixed a crash on shutdown when AMP tries to end all existing sessions where some of those sessions don’t have associated Websocket sessions.
  • Miscellaneous UI tweaks and improvements.
  • Fixed a divide by 0 error if number of cores/threads is reported as 0. This will never report below 1 now even if something goes wrong.
  • ADS waits for a full init when logging in rather than a fast-init - normally fast is fine but because of the delay in getting instance information, this change avoids a jarring pop when the instances load.
  • ADS instances lazy-load their background images and fade them in nicely as you scroll down the list. Much nicer to look at rather than images jumping in randomly.

2.4.3.0 Release Notes

This update is mostly to fix issues in 2.4.2.0, but does include some minor new features and QoL improvements.

  • ADS no longer shows deprecated/legacy apps by default on the Create Instance screen. A new setting has been added to allow showing them for anyone who still needs them.
  • Clicking “Fetch Latest” in ADS to get the latest application configurations now refreshes the list in-browser immediately rather than requiring a browser refresh.
  • Implemented WorkshopInstallDir for Generic so that the Steam plugin knows where Steam Workshop content should be downloaded on a per-game basis.
  • Implemented fast task dismissal for running tasks that the user doesn’t really need to know about.
  • Fixed notification area layout issues.
  • Fixed an issue that could cause the backup provider to crash if trying to restore an invalid ZIP file.
  • Fixed an issue where changing an instance between docker/non-docker didn’t shut down the instance before making the change, making the instance unmanageable.
  • Fixed not being able to refresh Generic configurations on remote targets.
  • Fixed ‘ApplyTemplate’ not working for modern templates based on app profiles.
  • Changed command line flags for dictionary value sets.
  • Added ‘standalone server’ setting to Minecraft settings.
  • Implemented rapid-startup failure handling to srcds.
  • Fixed Black Mesa server startup.
  • Support Base64 encoding for passwords. Solves the issue of not allowing complex passwords during setup.
  • Windows installer can now install C++ Runtimes automatically.
  • Disable anonymous login for all appid 90 apps in Steam.
  • Library and package updates.
  • LDAP authentication now correctly includes the user-specific role as well as added roles.
  • Updating an instance no longer updates any part of the generic configuration, only the “Refresh Configuration” option does now.
