Bug description

Hey,

so since some versions, but at minimum since we tried to change it (in dev+68), we have the problem, that the custom-messages are not working as expected.
For example: We changed the custom-message for "new-username-join" to "none" and have since years a custom-msg for newbies and custom msg for normal players. So in this case (as it also is now again), it should display a custom-join-msg for NEW players, but not for such with new usernames - and the normal custom-join-msg for normal players.
But it displays the "custom-join" message for ANY type of player joining, not matter if old, new username or completely new.
And this is annoying, I don't even know since when it is broken, because the custom-newbie-join-msg was also ALWAYS displayed different then we set it in the config, so it wasn't working for MONTHS, maybe even for 1 year+. But at least it displayed a custom message, and since we changed something it seems totally broken.

In general with all new dev-updates something seems to break 😅 Not sure how to solve it since I also can't just create 100 new accounts just to test all possibilities and versions..

I hope you know what issue I mean and can fix it somehow. (and esepcially the EssXdiscord issue^^ #6464 )

Steps to reproduce

Good question, since we don't know WHEN it broke.
But since those steps it at least is broken:

  1. change custom-new-username-message: "none" -> from the message it was to "none"
  2. reload/restart the server

Newbie-custom-join-message not working anymore. not even the "announce format" in the section "newbies" is displaying its message when a NEW player joins, it instantly shows the custom-join-message

Expected behaviour

I expect that the plugin is broadcasting my custom set message when a COMPLETELY NEW player joins. Like "Oh see: joined the Server for the first time! Welcome ♥"

I hope you maybe can find the issue or even create a config-file for newbie-settings for EssentialsX-Spawn? (but not needed that much, just an Idea.. Important is that it will work again^^)

Actual behaviour

Instead it just shows the custom-join-message for normal players. (Like: "Hurray, joined the game!"

So the newbie-announce format is getting ignored, even the custom-new-username-message: "none" is getting ignored (when defined a message of course.^^)!

Additional Information

Not sure if this is helpful, but we also use LPC in a forked branch, but I think this problem even happened before the patch.
