FakePing — Lightweight Server-Side Player Count & Tab Simulation

Changelog - Version 1.0.6

• Fixed fake chat validation to ensure that only fake players currently visible in the Tab list can send messages.

• If a fake player is disconnected due to simulation, their name is automatically discarded so they cannot speak.

• This same validation rule applies even when names are explicitly defined in the fake chat configuration.

• Prior to sending each message, the system checks the current list of connected real players to prevent any impersonation.

• Manual fake chat submissions or commands now also pass through this validation filter.

• Configured names that do not correspond to visible fake players in the Tab list lose the ability to emit messages in the chat.

• Performance optimization: the check runs exclusively at the moment a message is sent rather than every tick, utilizing in-memory sets without generating additional tasks or threads.
