v2.0.0

A New Dashboard, Discord & Steam Login, and Takaro AI

Changes

Takaro 2.0 replaces the dashboard, adds login with Discord or Steam next to email, and builds Takaro AI into the product. Existing users: you’ll be logged out once — see the login steps below.

🚀 Features

  • New dashboard The new dashboard replaces the old one. Everything sits in one sidebar, and the overview shows online players, servers, recent events and recent bans.

  • Search (Ctrl+K) Press Ctrl+K to find players and servers or ask Takaro AI.

  • 15 dashboard languages English, Dutch, French, German, Spanish, Russian, Portuguese (Brazil), Polish, Ukrainian, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Italian, Turkish, Arabic and Hebrew. Arabic and Hebrew read right to left. The login pages follow the same language.

  • Server setup guide Creating a server now opens a setup guide: find the mod for your game, add your registration token (a code Takaro gives you), start the server.

  • Log in with Discord or Steam New users can sign up with Discord, Steam or email. Existing users can link Discord or Steam under Account settings.

  • Steam sign-in links players automatically Players who sign in with Steam are linked to their player profile and can use the community’s web shop without a link code.

  • Takaro AI Takaro AI is built into the dashboard. It writes and edits modules (add-ons that add commands and features to your server) from a description, explains failed commands and hooks, summarizes players, suggests role permissions and helps migrate from CSMM, the older server manager. It acts with your permissions, every change waits for your approval, and anything that runs on your game server’s console always asks first. On the free plan, connect a server first.

  • Invite links Invites are now shareable links.

  • Item sets Save several items as one set.

  • Player storefront at its own address The player shop runs as a storefront at its own address for each community.

  • Settings with search Settings are rebuilt and searchable.

  • Module sandboxes Module executions run in disposable sandboxes.

  • API keys Personal, domain and distributor API keys, with IP allowlists.

  • Protocol v1 with map upload Generic Game Protocol v1 adds capability manifests and map upload.

⚠️ Changes for existing users and module authors

  • Your first login after the update

    1. You’ll be logged out once when the update goes live.
    2. Sign in with your current email and password.
    3. Open the user menu → Account settings and link Discord or Steam.
    4. From then on, log in with any of them.

    Don’t log in with Discord or Steam before you’ve linked them. That creates a separate, empty account without your servers.

  • Module network access Module functions can only reach the Takaro API by default.

  • Hook patterns run on RE2 Hook patterns now run on RE2, so unsafe text-matching patterns are rejected.

  • x-takaro-token retired The x-takaro-token header is retired.

  • docker-compose self-hosting removed The old docker-compose setup is removed. Takaro runs from the Helm chart.
