[merry knoll]

otherwise people just come back with questions that can be solved with learning a basic concept

[tight junco]

but in that specific instance above, they were literally just told learn english and learn java

literally nothing else

[lyric gyro]

how to recode built plugin

[dusky harness]

wdym

build the plugin again to create an updated jar

[lyric gyro]

edit plugin

no

plugin is not create by me

[dusty frost]

well, not knowing the two required languages to receive help regarding a specific programming language is quite the barrier

[dusky harness]

if the plugin is not open source, then you can't just edit the plugin code since it's already been converted to bytecode

[merry knoll]

cough decompile cough

[dusky harness]

well you can decompile it, but you will have to most likely change quite a bit of stuff

[merry knoll]

its a pain in the ass tho

[merry knoll]

this +

[tight junco]

but they were given nothing else from there

which is my point

[lyric gyro]

I'm not gonna defend the dude above but you're extrapolating the situation as if it was every single case

[icy shadow]

^

[merry knoll]

this the hill you wanna die on?

[icy shadow]

generally people will give some sort of help

[hoary scarab]

I gave them the actual code xD

[merry knoll]

imho quite an appropriate response after the exchange, they are nowhere near the level to code it nor to copy it from someone

[hoary scarab]

Spoonfeeding is the better learning experience in my opinion because its up to them whether or not they learn from it.

[lyric gyro]

recode plugin

how to

[merry knoll]

nah, it works with some people but with majority they just come back with the same concept lacking

[hoary scarab]

🤷 I don't mind

[merry knoll]

pseudo code is the best way imho, as long as they understand the logic

[hoary scarab]

I still have people coming back to me asking the same questions after years lol

[dusky harness]

imo, if they are willing to accept that coding is not as simple to learn as 1 + 2 = 3, then it's fine to help them even if they aren't an expert on java
but if they know pretty much nothing about java and just want the code...

[icy shadow]

literally all of you are wrong

[neat pier]

I'm not.

[merry knoll]

kotlin

[lyric gyro]

yes because you're literally writing the code for them

voluntary slavery

[hoary scarab]

its up to them whether or not they learn from it.

[icy shadow]

its not slavery if it's voluntary

[dusty frost]

it really depends on the level

like, an example can help if you already know java and just need to figure out a good way to work with the spigot api

if you know literally nothing, you're just going to copy paste and have no idea what it's doing or hwo to modify it

[merry knoll]

i just dont understand the expectancy of being able to jump into it today and make something quite complex

^ such as editing another plugin

[proud pebble]

in a plugin that i was trying to modify to fix a lag issue before i became a dev, i thought that player.sendmesssage() was causing lag, now that i have some sort of understanding of whats taxing or not i now know it was another function that was causing the lag, its called a shit backpack prison plugin

it was a paid plugin too

[stuck hearth]

True

I was the prison

[high edge]

The site for hacktoberfest is sick

Best way to check if player interacts with nether portal? (I mean like when it start receiving the nausea effect). Something like detecting when player "touches" a nether portal

[high edge]

checking the block they're standing on I guess?

hi, im trying to remove all bossbars that end with a certain phrase (jugg), how can i do it?

Bukkit#getBossBars() doesnt include ones that were made using Bukkit#createBossBar, so i cant use that

[stuck hearth]

Is it from your plugin or a different one

[lyric gyro]

yes

[dark garnet]

my plugin

[robust flower]

I guess just keep track of them into a map/multimap of some sort, and remove them when you don't need them anymore

[dark garnet]

oh seems like Bukkit#removeBossBar doesnt work for bossbars created using Bukkit#createBossBar either

ig ill just have to removeall players from the bossbar, but its annoying cause their temporary so i dont just want them sitting around not used, its alr tho

[lyric gyro]

Maybe try using Kyori/Adventure for your bossbars?

Bossbar#bossbar

[dark garnet]

im not a huge fan of adventure

[lyric gyro]

its a pretty good api lmao, why not?

[lyric gyro]

I want code sharingan

In naruto

Help the code=)

I am lazy

[stuck hearth]

😦

[proud pebble]

yk what, get to fuck.

[merry knoll]

i love the api but hate that its in paper / velocity by default

makes it a huge pain to do 1 jar setups for velocity + spigot at the same time

[dusky harness]

If you're lazy, you can't expect to learn a language like java

Or even python if you don't put that much effort

[dusky harness]

and the spigot api at the same time

[dusky harness]

Spigot api is still in spigot; you shouldn't be using paper api in a spigot plugin

Unless u mean that velocity uses adventure

I haven't used velocity api before

[merry knoll]

yes velocity also has adventure

which normally wouldnt be an issue, but velocity api is completely different from bungee

I found that armorstands being duplicated for some reason and I'm trying to find the way to prevent it

I create armorstands on loading the server and after few hours suddenly they being duplicated for no reason

maybe there's something to do with chunks load but i can't figure what exactly

[merry knoll]

you would need to show code

[dusky harness]

If you're checking if armoratands no longer exist, that's why

They "don't exist" when chunks unload

[hazy nimbus]

So I'm trying to send a login plugin message request packet via protocollib, however, I have a hard time setting the data
Here's the code:

            var container = new PacketContainer(PacketType.Login.Server.CUSTOM_PAYLOAD);
            
            container.getIntegers().write(0, 0); // Mesage ID
            container.getMinecraftKeys().write(0, channel); // Channel
            container.getByteArrays().write(0, new byte[0]); // Data

When I attempt to execute it, it fails when writing the byte array: com.comphenix.protocol.reflect.FieldAccessException: No field with type [B exists in class PacketLoginOutCustomPayload.

When I do some debugging, the field appears to be of the following type: PacketDataSerializer
How am I supposed to write the bytes?

[dusky harness]

Assuming this is latest version
https://github.com/dmulloy2/PacketWrapper/blob/master/PacketWrapper/src/main/java/com/comphenix/packetwrapper/WrapperPlayServerCustomPayload.java
They use ```java
public void setContentsBuffer(ByteBuf contents) {
if (MinecraftReflection.is(MinecraftReflection.getPacketDataSerializerClass(), contents)) {
handle.getModifier().withType(ByteBuf.class).write(0, contents);
} else {
Object serializer = MinecraftReflection.getPacketDataSerializer(contents);
handle.getModifier().withType(ByteBuf.class).write(0, serializer);
}
}

public void setContents(byte[] content) {
    setContentsBuffer(Unpooled.copiedBuffer(content));
}

[hazy nimbus]

dank

any idea on how would I use it in my case?

[dusky harness]

So basically: ```java
public void setContents(byte[] content) {
ByteBuf contents = Unpooled.copiedBuffer(content);
Object serializer = MinecraftReflection.getPacketDataSerializer(contents);
container.getModifier().withType(ByteBuf.class).write(0, serializer);
}

also for the channel, it appears that it uses MinecraftKeys

[hazy nimbus]

gonna try, will need to add netty as a dependency first tho

[dusky harness]

o

is it not included?

[hazy nimbus]

yes, as you can see I use it

[dusky harness]

what mc version btw

[dusky harness]

ohhh I misread

[hazy nimbus]

1.18.2

[dusky harness]

gradle/maven?

although

packetwrapper doesn't have netty

[hazy nimbus]

hahah, it was my first mistake (I tried to write it as a string), however I was able to figure out with debugger that it is a MinecraftKey

[hazy nimbus]

gradle

[dusky harness]

In the future, https://github.com/dmulloy2/PacketWrapper is like 99% correct

[dusky harness]

epic

wait so if you try ```java
import io.netty.buffer.ByteBuf;

[hazy nimbus]

yes, however I do not have the packetwrapper thingy included in my dependencies

[dusky harness]

ye u dont need to

[hazy nimbus]

(didn't know it existed till now)

[dusky harness]

i mean you can look at how it works (basically an example for every packet)

you don't have to include all of it

and for the actual docs, use https://wiki.vg/Protocol

[hazy nimbus]

I am using it

[dusky harness]

👍

[hazy nimbus]

Yep

[dusky harness]

interesting

[hazy nimbus]

Oh I see, so the packetwrapper is supposed to replace manual field setting?

[dusky harness]

yes
I personally just copy parts of it instead of shading it, but it's preference

[hazy nimbus]

Is there a maven repo including it?

[dusky harness]

You can use PacketWrapper as a dependency if you wish, although it is highly recommended that plugin authors simply copy and paste the classes they need into their project. This helps guard against future changes in PacketWrapper and makes it easier on the end user.
You can use jitpack

[hazy nimbus]

Understandable, copy pasting will be the better solution ig

[dusky harness]

didn't know that it wasn't recommended until now lol

just looked in readme for the dependency

@hazy nimbus gradle kts or groovy

or have you got the netty stuff figured out already

[hazy nimbus]

groovy

[dusky harness]

aww alr
still better than maven tho 😌

[hazy nimbus]

nope, was just going to do it, do you have the "correct" version?

[dusky harness]

1 sec lemme see which dependency has the bytebuffer since theres a trillion

[hazy nimbus]

will io.netty:netty-buffer:4.1.82.Final do?

[dusky harness]

yes

[dusky harness]

and make sure you compileOnly

[hazy nimbus]

Downloading...

[hazy nimbus]

👍

[dusky harness]

👍 lmk if it works

[hazy nimbus]

Seems to be stuck at downloading maven-metadata.xml

ah nvm

it downloaded (finally)

@dusky harness So, the packet appears to have been sent successfully, however the proxy doesn't register it. Might be an issue in Velocity tho

[dusky harness]

wdym

like the proxy doesn't pass it along?

[hazy nimbus]

I use the login plugin message to communicate between proxy <-> backend server

[hazy nimbus]

Well it doesn't intercept it

at all

[dusky harness]

oh

wait what

are you sure?

[hazy nimbus]

Well the ServerLoginPluginMessageEvent does not fire

I will probably try to put pakkit in-between to verify whether the packet is actually sent

[hazy nimbus]

Ok, well that didn't work out due to modern forwarding

I'm using Javascript PlaceholderAPI extension to make a shop in deluxemenus, but it goes to a negative number when i click many times on remove 64 or other, in my javascript file i set when is under 0 set to 1 but it doesn't work, can someone help me pls :))

[hazy nimbus]

@dusky harness I think I see where the issue is

I send the custom payload packet for the play state

not for the login

    // Cannot find type for b
    // Cannot find type for b

oh no

Ok, so copypasting things from the play packet seems to have worked

[merry knoll]

does anyone know what parts of world generation (nms) is safe to do on another thread? i was hoping the objects that you can generate manually would be safe to do, but apparently they call other internals in their constructor

[sterile hinge]

what do you mean with "the objects that you can generate manually"? Also, are you referring to a custom world generator?

[merry knoll]

stuff that you can instantiate yourself without any server stuff

and no, not generator

internal ServerLevel object

aka net.minecraft world

for example, this should technically be safe to instantiate on another thread

then pass it with callback, but apparently not

[sterile hinge]

well creating a ServerLevel instance isn't really part of world generation. Not sure what exactly is the problem in your code snippet, but some things might access whatever internal registry

[merry knoll]

there is no problem

im just asking if anyone dabbled in this and already know what parts are thread safe

otherwise, i need to check the source on each so trying to cut some work

[sterile hinge]

I still don't understand your use case. Is it like a regular world or is it separate?

[merry knoll]

i mean use case doesnt matter for the question does it?

i implement custom file saving for instancing purposes

[sterile hinge]

it does, as it matters if e.g. the world will be ticked during generation and stuff like that

[merry knoll]

nah, i register it manually once i generate it

there are no default mechanisms involved

[sterile hinge]

okay that should work then. Running generation on a different thread should be fine, you probably need to suppress entity generation

and if you want to parallelize it, it gets a bit more tricky

[merry knoll]

yes i know, turns out they still call internals

so my question was if anyone dabbled in it before and already know which ones need to be called on main

[sterile hinge]

I mean I don't know what you're intending to call, there are a lot of methods

also depends on if you only want to use the default generator or if you want to support any custom generator etc

[dark garnet]

im trying to make a scalable placeholder (so if i create a new team, such as GREEN, it will auto-add it to the sb), but i cant use new lines, what do i do (or is there an easier way to do it)? im using TAB btw https://media.venox.network/java_QPSW6TTXSW.png

[lyric gyro]

each score entry is a line on its own

make it a new score entry

[dark garnet]

to do that i'd have to make multiple placeholders like %team1%, %team2%, etc..., which isnt scalable/dynamic

unless ur saying something else?

[robust flower]

What would be the equivalent type of Java's Map<String, String> in TS?

[lyric gyro]

Variable 'playerInv' might not have been initialized

how to fix

help

Variable 'playerInv' might not have been initialized

help me

[lilac sierra]

can someone help me?

[vale panther]

Can some admin help me on a channel issue? PM me

[merry knoll]

just send over a list with all

why not use multiple lines though

[proud pebble]

if you want a dynamic scoreboard, then using a prebuilt plugin to do so is probably not the best idea

since i know of no scoreboard plugin that allows for dynamically adding lines

[lyric gyro]

what's different than using multiple score entries? instead of putting \n create a new score entry

[proud pebble]

you can add more lines to a scoreboard by just doing \n? is that actually a thing?

[lyric gyro]

no, that is exactly what does not work

proposed solution is to use multiple score entries

given that each entry is its own line

effectively a working newline

[merry knoll]

oh i thought they wanted them side by side

and were asking how to do the placeholder to support it

[lyric gyro]

oh i see

yeah that stinks balls

[stoic kayak]

im trying to get a list of online players but the array is empty even when there are players on

    public void execute(CommandSender sender, String[] args) {
        Object[] playersOn = {};
        ProxyServer.getInstance().getPlayers().toArray(playersOn);
        for (Object players:playersOn) {
            sender.sendMessage( new TextComponent( "List:" + players.toString()) );

        }


    }

[proud pebble]

what proxy is this?

bungeecord, velocity, etc?

[stoic kayak]

bungee

[proud pebble]

why are you creating an object array when getPlayers() returns List<ProxyedPlayer>?

also the for loop looks kinda pointless aswell since that would just make a new line of every player rather then a list of all players online

[stoic kayak]

ohhh

[stoic kayak]

yeah im aware of that, i just did something quickly to test

[dusky harness]

Couple things
playersOn is an array of Objects, not ProxiedPlayers
second, playersOn's size is only 0, so toArray returns a new array which you can store in a variable

[sterile hinge]

Also read the Javadocs of toArray if you want to know why it behaves like that

[proud pebble]

id say do something like sender.sendMessage(new TextComponent("Count: "+ProxyServer.getInstance().getPlayers().size()))

[stoic kayak]

ah okay

thanks

[icy shadow]

hey does anyone know

how do i put arrays in it :((

[proud pebble]

oh yeah you never actually redefine playerOn so it would always be 0 cus you never changed it

updated it, you get the point

cant believe i only just realized that

[feral cedar]

if (this.lastDeadPlayer != null) {
    final Player playerUUID = Bukkit.getPlayer(this.lastDeadPlayer);
    if (playerUUID != null) {
        Bukkit.broadcastMessage(ChatColor.AQUA + playerUUID.getName() + " was the last man standing!");
        Bukkit.getScheduler().scheduleSyncDelayedTask(instance, () -> playerUUID.giveExpLevels(1),  40L); //this is the line not running
    }
}

Anyone know why the commented line above would not be running? No errors appear in console

[proud pebble]

try not setting the player object as final

[icy shadow]

🤨

[icy shadow]

How do you know it's not running?

[feral cedar]

Players level is not increasing by 1 in game but the message above it saying who was the last man standing is running

[dark garnet]

im using TAB, so it'd probably break

[dusky harness]

is it a set number of lines

or does it change

if it's a set number just make a placeholder for each line

if not then technically you still can do it with TAB but its messy and wouldn't really work as a public plugin

[proud pebble]

ive done the exact same thing as you and after 2 seconds, it gives the xp

[half pollen]

can 2 spigot plugins & bungeecord use the same custom messaging channel? for some reason only 1 server is receiving the data between the channel, even though the 2 servers are identical

nvm

[dark garnet]

scalable placeholder (so if i create a new team, such as GREEN, it will auto-add it to the sb)
so no

[dusky harness]

oh I didn't see that part

[dark garnet]

so anyone got a solution?

[merry knoll]

make your own scoreboard impl

[dusky harness]

or use a scoreboard library

if one exists

[merry knoll]

scoreboards are simple enough honestly

[dark garnet]

ig im doing this, but if anyone has a better idea lmk

[dark garnet]

ok nvm, i use too many of TAB's scoreboard features and i dont rly wanna remake all of em
gonna try asking NEZNAMY (TAB author) if he can make it so \n will parse to an actual new line

[warm steppe]

Fastboard

[merry knoll]

im checking the api for tab

cant you just edit the list?

on here

worst case, you can just resend the scoreboard

on line count change

[dark garnet]

I’ll try this

[dark garnet]

alr i got it (altho very scuffed and i hate it)

I'm confused on creating configuration sections, I'm trying to store a list, but the following code creates two section titles, so I'm trying to figure out, what is the correct way to define a configuration section?
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/968239967836987414/1025271673169117274/unknown.png
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/968239967836987414/1025271733646807050/unknown.png

[grim oasis]

usually I just get the config and .set it (to a list/map/whatever), never using createSection

you're making a section, then setting the value TNTLocations to be the location

it isn't making 2 sections

the value of TNTLocations is all that location information

You most likely want to take it apart and store the information you want/need (x/y/z/world)

[thin storm]

ah, that makes sense thank you. When you store them like that, how would you go about accessing them then?

[grim oasis]

        minerConf.set("miners", new HashMap<>());
        for (Entry<String, AutoMiner> e : autoMiners.entrySet()) {
            String s = "miners." + e.getKey() + ".";
            AutoMiner a = e.getValue();
            Location loc = a.getLoc();
            minerConf.set(s + "world", loc.getWorld().getName());
            minerConf.set(s + "x", loc.getX());

                loc = a.getSign();
                minerConf.set(s + "world", loc.getWorld().getName());

FAQ Answer:

Spigot Account Linking
To get support for a premium plugin owned by Clip or Glare you will need to verify your spigot account using /spigot in the #bot-commands channel. After you have successfully linked your spigot account you should ask your question in the coresponding channel for that plugin. If you have already linked your account and want to update your roles, run this command /spigot check.

@stray kernel

[hazy summit]

Hey,
Is it possible to access a file in the plugins "internal" resources folder?
I just want to have a second config to declare some stuff, but without creating it in the plugin's folder

[stray kernel]

im not the one that bought it tho im working for a server

@broken elbow so i cant get support if i didnt buy it?

[broken elbow]

They'll have to link and then confirm that you work for them

[neat pier]

FAQ Answer:

Not the owner of the server?
If you're not the owner of the server and you're the one requesting the support you'll need to first get the owner who purchased the plugin to join and run through the verification system listed in #spigot-linking, once linked they just need to give us the thumbs up that you're with them.

i think you are maybe forgetting to reObf your code?

the class thats missing def exists, but chances are you didnt obf it back

Hi, how can i add a number to an item (maybe a nbt tag) ? After that a want to read it and edit it...

[merry knoll]

ah, i am not familiar with the maven reobf method

been a while since i touched maven alltogether

honestly

[sly estuary]

So the problem is to reobf the project, right?

[merry knoll]

im willing to bet thats what it is

[sly estuary]

Alright thank you, then I'm going to dive into it

[merry knoll]

lemme check real quick

yeah thats what your issue is

it maps to EntityHuman

[keen root]

Hi, how can i add a number to an item (maybe a nbt tag) ? After that a want to read it and edit it...

[viral moth]

you san store an integer on the item meta's persistent data container

[keen root]

How can i do that

[viral moth]

        ItemMeta meta = item.getItemMeta();
        meta.getPersistentDataContainer().set(new NamespacedKey(pluginInstance, "number"), PersistentDataType.INTEGER, intValue);
        item.setItemMeta(meta);```

on the PDC you can then use the .get(namespacedKey, dataType) method

when setting data, make sure to set the item meta back on the item stack

hopefully that explains it

[keen root]

Ok thanks I'll try it

[keen root]

How can i get the number when i want to edit it?

[next hare]

With what program can I encrypt a plugin, I have its source code

[dense drift]

you mean build? Turn the code into a .jar file

[next hare]

I have the source code, but I want to add some things and fix its duration system

[viral moth]

are you trying to turn the source code into a plugin?

[next hare]

yes, but by step add some functions

to complement

[dense drift]

https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/

[next hare]

So I'm fine, but when I select the plugin folder and then convert it to .jar it doesn't convert as it should

[merry knoll]

what do you mean "convert"

you gotta compile it

open class ConcurrentSingleLazyMap<K : Any, V: Any>(
  private val lazy : suspend (K) -> V?,
  private val valueCache: ConcurrentHashMap<K, V> = ConcurrentHashMap()
) : Map<K,V> by valueCache {
    fun invalidate(key: K) = valueCache.remove(key)

    suspend fun getOrFetch(key: K): V? = valueCache[key].let { lazy.invoke(key)?.let { valueCache[key] = it; valueCache[key]} }
}

is there a better way to make a lazy map with one generating function?

holy damn it doesnt even fit one line formatted a bit

[proud pebble]

you gotta use either maven or gradle to compile. intellij afaik can use either by default

[broken elbow]

well. you don't have to

[proud pebble]

id say compile using whatever compiler the plugin source uses as its usually easier then switching

[broken elbow]

buttt

[proud pebble]

its probably better to start people on that then exporting and having the plugin be plugin jar + plugin code size

that was not fun

[sly estuary]

Thank you ❤️

[lyric gyro]

I'm following a CodedRed tutorial to figure out how to do TAB stuff (https://youtu.be/WYXVypbVVOs?t=472) but when I try and put in PacketPlayOutPlayerListHeaderFooter it just goes red without saying anything

I'm trying to do

PacketPlayOutPlayerListHeaderFooter = new PacketPlayOutPlayerListHeaderFooter();

[grim oasis]

forgot the variable name

packet

[lyric gyro]

I mean sorry yea I'm trying to do ```js
PacketPlayOutPlayerListHeaderFooter packet = new PacketPlayOutPlayerListHeaderFooter();

[grim oasis]

doesn't auto-import? says it doesn't exist?

[lyric gyro]

Yea

[grim oasis]

how do you have your sources setup

I think codedred uses direct jar files no maven/gradle/anything

[lyric gyro]

Ah

Yea im using Maven

[grim oasis]

Might be happening because I think that's NMS, spigot-api doesn't include nms

[lyric gyro]

Damn

Alright well thanks :)

I'll find another way

[grim oasis]

ya i just have no idea how to import from spigot not spigot-api

otherwise I could help ye with that

Anyone know why my plugins are not working

https://paste.helpch.at/kayezigalo.md

I do have a plugin folder with all plugins inside

Did it generate the plugins folder itself?

No

[high edge]

delete everything, and start the server with just the server jar itself

So it generates everything needed

Alr

I mean it loaded everything

Except plugin folder

because you dont use platform supporting plugins

vanilla doesnt support plugins, Bukkit and its forks do (Spigot, Paper, Purpur (use Paper/Purpur))

Vanilla one

by Mojang

Vanilla doesnt support any external modification except datapacks

[spark totem]

òoh

how do i get tthe normale one?

u got a link for that?

use Paper/Purpur, just google it

if you r new to this you can just use paper, you wouldnt benefit from purpur ig

[merry knoll]

apparently property setters on kotlin reflect take varargs, instead of instance - value pair so it compiles fine with 1 value

[proud pebble]

to beable to use packets like this, you need to change the spigot dependency in your pom.xml from spigot-api to spigot

you also need to run buildtools and create a jar of the version your wanting to make for

so for example, if you wanna use 1.19.2, then in buildtools you would generate a spigot jar of that version

the reason you have to do this is that when making the jar with buildtools, it creates some files in the .m2 folder on your pc, which intellij can use to compile your plugin from

you dont need the output jar thats made in your buildtools folder

basically,
download buildtools from https://hub.spigotmc.org/jenkins/job/BuildTools/
create a folder for buildtools,
create a bat file that contains java -jar BuildTools.jar --rev yourversionhere (change yourversionhere to a version like 1.19.2)
run that bat file and itll generate a spigot jar file,
then in your project, open pom.xml, scrolldown and in your dependencies change artifactId from spigot-api to spigot

then you should beable to use craftbukkit and nms classes.

[broken elbow]

You know that spigot has a wiki page for all of this right? 🤣

https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/buildtools/

[hoary scarab]

You need to add --remapped if you want the unobfuscated class/method names

[hoary scarab]

Is there a method to check the playerinventory size without the slots for equipment? (I know I can just use int size = 36;) Just curious.

[lyric gyro]

storageContents does not include offhand and armour slots

so uh I guess you could fetch the size from that

[proud pebble]

yep, player.getinventory.getStorageContents().length

[lyric gyro]

storage*contents

contents returns everything iirc

[proud pebble]

actually, might be length

[hoary scarab]

Ah ok thanks. Was just curious.

[dusky harness]

how do I convert a direction -> (normalized) Vector?

to be used in World#rayTraceBlocks

or basically my main goal is that I have 2 points, let's say point A and point B
point A spots point B and modifies its direction by a couple degrees and then runs rayTraceBlocks to see if it hit point B

[lyric gyro]

"direction" being?

[dusky harness]

so point A looks at point B - that direction

[lyric gyro]

bVector.subtract(aVector)

[dusky harness]

but then I also have to modify it a little bit

so that it doesn't always look directly at point B

[dusky harness]

using a configurable degree amount

[lyric gyro]

.add(rng.nextDouble())

[dusky harness]

wait what will that work?

after I normalize it

[lyric gyro]

i mean idk the exact methods but yeah

beware of bukkit's mutable vectors

[dusky harness]

💀 yea I wonder why vectors and locations are mutable

those should be immutable, I think

[dusky harness]

wait a minute

[lyric gyro]

i would normalise after performing all the operations that reorient the vector tho

[dusky harness]

val a = Vector(5, 5, 5)
val b = Vector(10, 5, 5)
val subtracted = b.subtract(a)
val added = subtracted.add(Vector(90, 90, 90)) // only add(Vector) exists
println(added.normalize())
```you mean like this?

since that prints out ~0.6, ~0.56, ~0.56

[lyric gyro]

the subtraction results in the vector from a to b

I believe bukkit Vector has specific methods to apply rotation on x/y/z axis, i'm not sure

also 90 is a lot lol

[dusky harness]

oh

oh yea

I just did 90 to test

so there's ```kt
val a = Vector(5, 5, 5)
val b = Vector(10, 5, 5)
val subtracted = b.subtract(a)
val added = subtracted.rotateAroundY(90.0)
println(added.normalize())

[lyric gyro]

you sure it's in degrees?

[dusky harness]

oh-

forgot

whoops

seems like it works!!

public LaserTeam getWinner() {
    LaserTeam winner = null;
    for (final String teamId : ControlManager.teams) {
        final LaserTeam team = getTeam(teamId);
        if (winner == null || team.score > winner.score) winner = team;
    }
    return winner;
}```im sleep deprived and i need to check if all teams have the same score and if they do then return `null` (tie), and if they dont, calculate highest scoring team (and return it)
*ping me if u reply, im going to bed 💤*

[dusky harness]

👍

that should work

good job

[dark garnet]

it dont :(

cause when it loops thru the first team it sets winner to that team, so the method wont return null

the only possibility of the method ever returning null is if ControlManager.teams is empty

[dusky harness]

ohh I didn't see the tie part

[dark garnet]

😭

[viral moth]

if all teams? or if at least 2 teams have the same score then return null?

[dark garnet]

all

[viral moth]

so if you have 3 teams with the scores of 10, 10, 4, do you return null or...

the first thing that came to my head was the saying "throw a hashmap at it." the more i think about it, the more i feel like that would simplify things. just an idea

[dark garnet]

i hadnt thought of that 😭, null probably

[dusky harness]

ok i'm back

lets see

public LaserTeam getWinner() {
    LaserTeam winner = null;
    int highestInvalid = Integer.MIN_VALUE;
    for (final String teamId : ControlManager.teams) {
        final LaserTeam team = getTeam(teamId);
        if (winner == null || team.score > winner.score) {
            winner = team;
            continue;
        }
        if (team.score == winner.score) {
            highestInvalid = team.score;
        }
    }
    return highestInvalid == winner.score ? null : winner;
}
```this should work

[viral moth]

hear me out, put all of the data into a TreeMap<Integer, List<LaserTeam>> and then you can check the highest scoring team(s) and see if the size of the list is bigger than 1. if it is, then you return null, if there is only one team in the list of teams with the highest score, then you know that there is no team that scored higher than that. if the highest scoring team list has more than one team, then you know that multiple teams tied.

actually, my solution is over complicating it

ignore me

[dark garnet]

ty i will try this tomorrow 🙏

why i get this error on AsyncPlayerChatEvent?

format: '%vault_rank% &8| &7{player}: &f{message}'```
this is the format i set

[broken elbow]

Your %vault_rank% is not being replaced with your actual rank

make sure it is replaced. Or don't use percent signs in your format at all.

#placeholder-api message

[merry knoll]

did you register your extension?

[rose jolt]

I didn't make my extension, I just wanted the placeholders to work in my plugin and work, but when it is on the server, the placeholders work only in it

[merry knoll]

what is that supposed to mean even

[rose jolt]

wait

[merry knoll]

you have placeholders and they dont work when used by other plugins?

is what i understood

[rose jolt]

wait i show video

@merry knoll i can send youtube link?

[merry knoll]

sure

[rose jolt]

wait

@merry knoll
https://youtu.be/qm1bssDMi6I

now you can watch

placeholderapi works in my plugin, but not in others when it is mine

[merry knoll]

you need the expansions downloaded

each placeholder comes from an expansion

find which ones you need

and download them

[rose jolt]

see that I have a viaversion extension and they work on /online and not on tab anymore

[merry knoll]

thats for your tab plugin to fix

you can test it using

/papi parse

if they show up there then its set up properly

[rose jolt]

on another plugin on the scoreboard I have the same, but when my plugin is not, everything works normally

[rose jolt]

how to use it?

[merry knoll]

/papi parse <player|me> <string>

https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/placeholderapi.6245/

commands are listed here

[rose jolt]

I can see it already, but it still doesn't work on the tab and the above-mentioned one does

[merry knoll]

then its for those plugins to fix

contact their devs and see what the issue is

[rose jolt]

would you like to test it yourself? I'll give you these two plugins and you can see for yourself what happens

[rose jolt]

on another plugin this is also the case

[rose jolt]

my plugin breaks something

[merry knoll]

can you show the code?

where you use the placeholder api specifically

[rose jolt]

wait

                }
                gr.setLore(lore);

                    ItemMeta s = empty.getItemMeta();
                    s.setDisplayName(ChatColor.BLACK + " ");
                    empty.setItemMeta(s);

                    inv.setItem(it, empty);

                gracz.setItemMeta(gr);

another code

but this code working

my plugin works, but if it is different, it doesn't display placeholders

if the server has my plugin, the placeholders only work in my plugin in none of the others,

Okay I think I am slowly loosing my mind, but: is there a way to make an npc with skin, thst is able to walk to certain locations. Like actual walking not just teleportint

(without lib disguise, just protocol lib and nms)

[merry knoll]

you have to send move packets

teleport and move packets are different

@marble nimbus

[marble nimbus]

So the position packet is an equivalent to the walk packet?

[merry knoll]

effectively

[marble nimbus]

Will that also actually display the animation?

[merry knoll]

you need to send it every tick

[merry knoll]

yes

[marble nimbus]

Only if the npc is supposed to move correct?

[merry knoll]

yes

its for updating position

thats the exact packet the server sends

when a player moves

[marble nimbus]

How big does the change in xyz have to be? Is it enough to call it every tick with 1+ block?

[merry knoll]

1+ block is huge

you need to calculate yourself though, got no idea honestly

[marble nimbus]

Ok got it, thanks alot!!

EntityPlayer is only used for players, so no pathfinding or anything like that

maybe EntityHuman might

atleast ithink its entityhuman

ive heard you need to send movement packets and stuff to the humanentity to get it to move

either to or from the entity

GSON question:

I have some stuff stored as json and I'm using GSON to deserialize using the GSON#fromJson(String, Class). I have added a new property to the object this json gets deserialized into and I want to be able to still deserialize the json without having to write my own deserializer.

The new property is a simple boolean and has a default value. Should I be able to just set the default value in the class and Gson will just know that? I don't have the enviroment to test this.

Thanks.

hey, i am trying to learn how to code plugins in java right now, and i have encountered this warning, 'org.bukkit.event.player.PlayerPickupItemEvent' is deprecatedi am really new at this so any help will be appreciated!
here is my code: ``` @EventHandler
public void OnItemPickup(PlayerPickupItemEvent event) {

    Player player = event.getPlayer();
    ItemStack type = event.getItem().getItemStack();
    player.sendMessage("Hey you have pick up a " + type);
    }```if you need the full code ask me

[high edge]

Means the event is marked for removal/replacement, if you Ctrl + Click on it, it usually has a comment attached to let you know what it's being replaced with

[left wigeon]

i cant send an image but it just sent me to PlayerPickupItemEvent.java and highlighted the PlayerPickupItemEvent Class

[high edge]

What version you using?

[left wigeon]

Also, it does not work in-game. could you tell me whats wrong with it?

[high edge]

Did you register the listener?

[left wigeon]

i think so... like this ? Bukkit.getPluginManager().registerEvents(new HelloWorld(), this);

i have this method in the same class and it works fine: @EventHandler public void onBlockDestroy(BlockBreakEvent event) { Material type = event.getBlock().getType(); Player player = event.getPlayer(); player.sendMessage("Hey you have breaked a " + type); } but the PlayerPickupItemEvent isn't

[high edge]

Which version are you on

[left wigeon]

of intellij? latest i think i downloaded it the day before yesterday

[high edge]

spigot/paper

[left wigeon]

in minecraft 1.19.2

paper

[high edge]

Ah okay yea so the event is deprecated, and it was replaced with EntityPickupItemEvent

[left wigeon]

what can i do about it?

[high edge]

Switch over to the new event

[left wigeon]

first I didn't knew about the PlayerPickupEvent so i used the entity one and i checked if the entity type is an instanceof Player

but i couldn't get the player

ill try it again and see what happend

[high edge]

If you checked the entity type, then that's why it didn't work, just check if the entity is an instanceof player

Since a player is an entity

[left wigeon]

oh ill try tysm!

ok, i fixed it (i think, i haven't tested it yet) but if i can ask you something, could you tell me what the (Player) means in this line: Player player = (Player) event.getEntity();?

[sterile hinge]

it's a cast

[left wigeon]

what does that mean?

[tight junco]

The entity variable is "casted" to a player

it basically turns the entity into a player

[sterile hinge]

it changes the static type of an expression, in that case event.getEntity() has the static type Entity, but with the cast, it becomes the static type Player

[left wigeon]

oh alright, will i get an error when i cast a cow for example to a player

[tight junco]

because a player is not a cow

yes

[sterile hinge]

that only works if the dynamic type of the returned value actually is Player (or a subtype)

[left wigeon]

do you guys have tutorials that I should watch?

[tight junco]

no

most if not all spigot tutorials suck

[left wigeon]

how did you learn? just trial and error?

[tight junco]

yes

i just came up with ideas on plugins and try shit until it works

but the key to doing that is also paying attention to how experienced developers work

[broken elbow]

Anyone still using ConfigMe? How the hell do I create a list property that holds integers? Seems like they only support string collections.

[broken elbow]

Nevermind. I was supposed to use the PropertyBuilder to create my own property. PropertyBuilder.ListPropertyBuilder(PrimitivePropertyType.LONG).build()

[queen plank]

Is it possible to get the outer class object from a non-static inner class without passing it in as a parameter?

[lyric gyro]

how to make gems like mmoitem?

[queen plank]

nvm, found it :>

[lyric gyro]

help

[queen plank]

What do you mean "How to make gems like mmoitem"? What do you need help with, we won't give you a big chunk of code that just works

[lyric gyro]

gems socket

like this

That gem dragged into the item will increase the feature for that item

[queen plank]

Do you even have a system with items and stats to increase?

[lyric gyro]

yeah

[queen plank]

Then whenever an item is applied to the item, save it in a list or smth and when you get the stats check if the item is in the list

[lyric gyro]

Once the gem is pulled in, it will count the levels one by one, from 1 to 50 (50 is the maximum)

[queen plank]

Yeah?

[lyric gyro]

👍

and give stat

[queen plank]

Sure

[lyric gyro]

and have a command

ex: /gems give <Player> <type>

but I don't know how to code like this, can you give me a sample code?

@queen plank if you can help me, dms with me

[queen plank]

Don't know how to code what? Commands? File Saving?

[hoary scarab]

So InventoryClickEvent.setCursor(ItemStack) is deprecated but the javadocs don't mention a replacement.
When I cancel InventoryClickEvent the item the cursor is holding is removed. Any counters to this?

[high edge]

Probably get it's initial position and set it back?

tbh the inventory stuff is kinda wack

[hoary scarab]

The item the cursor is holding not its position

[high edge]

Yea I mean the items previous position

[hoary scarab]

...

See how I'm holding water in the cursor? When I click and cancel the InventoryClickEvent it changes the cursor item to the item I clicked.

[high edge]

And what is the behavior you're looking for?

(Slightly confused as to what you're trying to do)

[hoary scarab]

It doesn't change the item the cursor is holding because the event was cancelled lol

Great now WindowsKey + Shift + S isn't screenshotting xD

Fuck it. Just imagine the above image the water bucket turns to stone

[high edge]

Still confused as to what the issue is here

[high edge]

And what's the goal you wish to achieve? For the water to stay or

[hoary scarab]

Yes, if the InventoryClickEvent is canceled why is the cursor changing its item?

And InventoryClickEvent.setCursor(ItemStack) is deprecated so looking for another similar method.

[high edge]

That's been deprecated for a long time, still works tho

I believe it's not actually deprecated, but marked as deprecated as a warning

[tight junco]

thats like almost all spigot methods

[hoary scarab]

Its annoying coding with latest methods/api's and java version and having to use a method thats deprecated for no reason lol

[high edge]

Deprecated.
This changes the ItemStack in their hand before any calculations are applied to the Inventory, which has a tendency to create inconsistencies between the Player and the server, and to make unexpected changes in the behavior of the clicked Inventory.

Yea it's just a warning

[hoary scarab]

Yeah. And its still a bug on spigots part anyways to change the cursor when the event was cancelled.

[high edge]

Probably just worth resetting it after every click I guess

One of those janky things

[hoary scarab]

yeah doing that.

[high edge]

Probably looks horrendous tho right?

[hoary scarab]

Well its 2 extra lines of code lol
@SuppressWarnings("deprecation") and event.setCursor(cursor);

[high edge]

Not what I meant :3, I mean it probably changes to stone, then changes back to water right?

Or does it not do that

[hoary scarab]

Doesn't even do that. Might have to delay which means more useless code xD

[merry knoll]

you can tag the fields you want serialized with @Expose

not sure if someone answered on phone atm

[hoary scarab]

Huh even when delayed by 0-3 ticks its not setting the cursor

Yeah its seeming like you can't change the item in the cursor.... (Atleast in InventoryClickEvent)

[merry knoll]

are you cancelling inventory drag event?

[hoary scarab]

InventoryClickEvent

[merry knoll]

yes but you need to cancel both

[hoary scarab]

For a single click?

[merry knoll]

yes

[hoary scarab]

I'll test that one sec

[hoary scarab]

InventoryDragEvent isn't called.

Actually... what does call InventoryDragEvent?

[lyric gyro]

dragging items across the inventory

into multiple slots

[hoary scarab]

yeah even thats not giving me an output...

Looks like it only runs in survival

Oh look at that! InventoryClickEvent being cancelled works properly in survival but not creative

[lyric gyro]

creative mode makes a lot of client sided assumptions about inventory interactions that simply do not query the server

[hoary scarab]

Yeah attempting to make use of InventoryCreativeEvent

Seeing if that will give me the outcome I want

[warm flame]

I think with what you're doing you just need to listen to InventoryClickEvent and make sure the action is SWAP_WITH_CURSOR

[lyric gyro]

Many things in creative mode simply do not send packets to the server

It's a road full of potholes

[warm flame]

yea def when testing anything inventory related it's best to be in survival lol

creative is super wonky

[hoary scarab]

Its not that.
What emily said above.

[merry knoll]

oh its creative?

i just read the later parts of the convo

[lyric gyro]

Me too

[warm flame]

moral of the story don't test in creative 🙏

[hoary scarab]

Aside from the fact that no one in survival would be using the methods I'm making... it would be annoying to have to continuously switch back to creative after testing what I am making.

[warm flame]

I'm unsure why it's still so buggy it's been like this forever afaik at least I remember it also being a problem back in 1.8

[hoary scarab]

Well... Looks like InventoryCreativeEvent has issues too...```java
@EventHandler(ignoreCancelled = true)
public void onCreativeInventoryClick(InventoryCreativeEvent event) {
Inventory inv = event.getInventory();
Integer slot = event.getSlot();

if(inv == null)
    return;

ItemStack item = inv.getItem(slot);
Output.debug("Item == null: "+Boolean.valueOf(item == null));

}
```Outputs Item == null: true Whether I click on a slot with an item or not.

[sterile hinge]

yeah because it's not an inventory known by the server

[hoary scarab]

Player's hotbar*

[proud pebble]

the creative inventory is pain

the only thing thats sent when in creative is SET_SLOT

[lyric gyro]

Hello

How do I do 2 completely different plugins in 1 intellij project?

I don't want to create for each plugin a new project

[merry knoll]

why no?

not*?

you can put them in different modules

[lyric gyro]

im coding my own minecraft server and i want everything in 1 project so I can change them faster

[dense drift]

you should create different projects unless you have a specific reason I guess

[merry knoll]

create different projects and add them as modules

[lyric gyro]

i want to have them all sorted in 1 project so I can edit them faster

[lyric gyro]

how?

[merry knoll]

learn gradle and add through there

its quite simple just check its documentation

as an added bonus they get to share build settings

if you want that is

[lyric gyro]

alr thanks

[merry knoll]

how do you guys name your function that are parameters?

as in higher order

[icy shadow]

huh?

[merry knoll]

i feel like i keep naming them bogus names like "handler" etc

[icy shadow]

depends on the context?

thats like asking how to name an int parameter

[merry knoll]

like for example

[icy shadow]

ew

[dusky harness]

onDeny

ig

[icy shadow]

yeah i would say that

[merry knoll]

takes permission, does the function on deny

[dusky harness]

also instead of null

[merry knoll]

yeah makes sense

[dusky harness]

you can default to {}

[merry knoll]

nah its intentional

its setting a parameter that can be null on java

that part aint my code so

[merry knoll]

but ty, dunno why it never came up on my mind

[icy shadow]

yw

[lyric gyro]

This it item

Drop to armor or weapon

And give stats

@queen plank

[charred ravine]

Hmm why can't I set a launched arrows shooter to the player on entityshootbowevent?

I did Arrow arrow = player.launchProjectile(Arrow.class, player.getLocation().getDirection();
then arrow.setShooter(event.getProjectile().getShooter();

but in my EntityDamageByEntityEvent (Which I checked damagaer instanceof Projectile & cast projectile to Arrow then Player from arrow.getShooter)

It doesnt seem to account for projectile launched
anyone know why?

[charred ravine]

nvm changed noDamageTicks and it works

[floral beacon]

Hello,
how can I turn BungeeCord (ProxiedPlayer) into variable
So i basically want to target only and only "Test" player?
This is what i tried

ProxiedPlayer player = ProxyServer.getInstance().getPlayer("Test");

This gives me errors:

java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "net.md_5.bungee.api.connection.ProxiedPlayer.getServer()" because "player" is null

[floral beacon]

I know this is not the proper way to do this

But i never used to make BC plugins and i only need this for debugging (to get specifically 1 player name like "Test")

[merry knoll]

if the player is not there then it will give you a null pointer

not sure what you are trying to do

[floral beacon]

ok sorry

this works, i joined with my premium account usernaqme (TheJoshua) and not the Test one

it actually works, i was unsure if my code works because it usually works 5th time when i try out things i didn't code before... sorry and thank you very much @merry knoll !

[merry knoll]

just do a null check after getting the player

if its null, means they are not connected

[left wigeon]

hey, does someone knows what is wrong with this? Objective obj = board.registerNewObjective("Scoreboard", "dummy", "Test"); it says that registerNewObjective is deprecated and its marked with a line. im really new to coding in java so any help will be appreciated!

here is the full code: public void createBoard( Player player) { ScoreboardManager manager = Bukkit.getScoreboardManager(); Scoreboard board = manager.getNewScoreboard(); Objective obj = board.registerNewObjective("Scoreboard", "dummy", "Test"); Score score = obj.getScore("Player:" + player.getDisplayName()); }

[floral beacon]

yes yes, that doesn't really mater to me i just wanted to try next:

• send 2 different title messages (from bungeecord proxy) to 2 different players each on different subservers

i came up with for loop at first but it seems like some strings (especially the string i called currentServer that will for each ProxyServer.getInstance().getPlayers() get player.getServer().getInfo().getName()) do not cache properly

[merry knoll]

deprecated means that its marked as old and possibly for removal in the future

[floral beacon]

so i am thinking of moving to something like java Maps

[left wigeon]

so i can still use it?

[floral beacon]

like to get all players on whole proxy

• player A
• player B
• player C
  then to get their subservers respectively
• player A's subserver
• player B's subserver
• player C's subserver

and then put all this in Map (the problem here is that i need to learn again how to use maps ok)

[merry knoll]

for your current version yes, but it usually means that there is a more modern version of the method you are using

[floral beacon]

does anyone have better idea for this?

[merry knoll]

sometimes not the case for spigot but in general, you want to avoid deprecated stuff

and use their alternatives

[left wigeon]

do you know what should i do then?

[merry knoll]

you will have to check the javadocs and see whats the replacement

or if there is a replacement

[merry knoll]

why do you want to cache regardless

[left wigeon]

do you know if there is a replacement for getDisplayName or should i check?

[merry knoll]

no idea, it depends on what .getDisplayName gets called from

but just check the javadocs, it should tell you whats the alternative

if there is no alternative(usually the case in spigot)

then just keep using it

[left wigeon]

alright

[floral beacon]

Well, i can't think an idea of doing this
*I will write down my exact goal:

• every 5 seconds execute /command Text Text Text <CustomSubsrverName> where title will be sent replacing <CustomSubsrverName> with subserver the player is currently connected to but if it's found in the config it will replace it with custom one so let's say i am on lobby it will replace it with config one (for example &6&lLobby&r)

Now i figured out that this works but it will always use the subserver name of first player that is listed online (Using alphabet so if there are 2 players with usernames A and W, it will always replace <CustomSubsrverName> to subserver name from player whose username starts with A)

I hope you understand

if not let me know i will try shortening it

Now i figured out that this works but it will always use the subserver name of first player that is listed online (Using alphabet so if there are 2 players with usernames A and W, it will always replace <CustomSubsrverName> to subserver name from player whose username starts with A)
this is the only part that i am struggling with, everything else is already solved

So I don't know why it uses always the same subserver name for every player (or the first player's subserver ALWAYS) even though 2 players are on 2 differently named subservers

and i do use for loop

[merry knoll]

can you share your code instead

[floral beacon]

yes

[merry knoll]

probably easier to understand there

[floral beacon]

should i send here on hastebin?

maybe easier haste?

ok i hope you don't mind my spacing because it's really a mess because i have A LOT commented code but i will delete it and not include it into paste

[floral beacon]

https://paste.helpch.at/fuqipicito.java

(part of) config

alert-prefix-chat: '&6&lAlert &7'

server-names:
    wlobby: "Hello!"

exclude-servers:
    - "wselector"

alert-prefix-chat actually doesn't matter that is different part of code but i included it because i used it in code to not use it in specific (this code snippet i sent above) situations

Now i figured out that this works but it will always use the subserver name of first player that is listed online (Using alphabet so if there are 2 players with usernames A and W, it will always replace <CustomSubserverName> to subserver name from player whose username starts with A)
just a reminder i will sent this again.

<CustomSubserverName> = i used <server> in the code above sorry

[merry knoll]

okay so, from what i am gathering you want to exclude some servers and use a placeholder coming from your config

there are some small convention issues btw in the code

stuff like message_subtitle etc are wrongly named

[floral beacon]

oh right

[merry knoll]

messageSubtitle is the correct naming

[floral beacon]

however

[floral beacon]

thanks! however, this is not really a problem neither i have issues with this

so the problem is that i have 2 accounts on 2 different servers

i use for loop as you see

[floral beacon]

ok i forgot to add stuff

this is my server config

[merry knoll]

there is no issues with the way you are handling it

[floral beacon]

server-names:
    _default_: "this currently isn't coded inside of plugin"
    selector: "&b&oDirect product previews"
    wlobby: "&6&lWICKED&r&f✕&r&6&o(Proxy)Lobby&r"
    wlobby16: "&3&lWICKED&r&f✕&r&3&oLobby&r"

player A is on wlobby
player B is on wlobby16

when we execute the command, it does send title, everything is ok until you realize that both player has same <server> placeholder

it ALWAYS uses player A's subserver name replacement

i figured out why

becuase A goes before B in alphabet

i tested this with multiple accounts

it's always like that and i can't figure out why

so when both players are connected to wlobby16 it will send server-names.wlobby16 instead of <server>

but then i send player B to wlobby, and wait for auto-command to execute from bungee and send this title again -> guess what? both players get title where <server> is replaced AGAIN with server-names.wlobby16

then i push player A also to wlobby and then it sends correct <server> (the wlobby's one)

it's so weird

so i do not reload plugins or anything

it just fixes itself but it always looks for first player in the list alphabet-wise (or however to say it ok)

[floral beacon]

i will fix this thanks

[merry knoll]

ah, got your issue

[floral beacon]

hm?

[merry knoll]

you are creating your titles at the start

then reusing the objects

[floral beacon]

should i move that into for loop?

[merry knoll]

https://paste.helpch.at/sonojehobu.java

you want to do this instead

moved your excludeServers to the top as well

no point calling that each loop

honestly you probably want to colorize etc

outside as well

https://paste.helpch.at/afuyeromez.js

here

forgot to rename message_title and subtitle inside TextComponents

but you should get the idea

there is also no point creating multiple title instances i think, javadocs say you can send both title and subtitle

from 1 builder

[floral beacon]

@merry knoll tried what you've done

https://prnt.sc/4Xzj_IgvNfL2

...

[merry knoll]

im finding that hard to believe, check your config maybe?

or print out what currentServer is

[floral beacon]

https://prnt.sc/vAKj15e8sGem

XD

this is crazy

[proud pebble]

the armorstand is named, what would be the way to increase the nametag's height? this is a nms armorstand

[floral beacon]

so IT LITERALLY SAYS in debug messages that matchedServerDisplay is INDEED correct to the current server

[floral beacon]

only the title is problematic

i don't understand sh1t

ok

literally the messageSubtitle is faulty

[merry knoll]

mount multiple on top of each other maybe?

[proud pebble]

i looks like thats what decentholograms does atleast

[merry knoll]

i mean it makes sense

[proud pebble]

tho they remove the headstalk and im not sure how thats done

[floral beacon]

@merry knoll so basically what happens is that there are Test, Test2 and W1CK3_D usernames online.
the messageSubtitle will ALWAYS use the server name from Test because he is the first in the list (alphabetically)
Although i really don't understand why matchedServerDisplay is indeed changed like it's shown in chat debug messages but in the messageSubtitle it doesn't change

[proud pebble]

had a quick look at what hypixel does and from a bit of testing they just teleport the armorstand above the head of the mob every tick

[merry knoll]

i kinda doubt, that causes the nametag to lag behind

its most likely mounted on the player

and multiple lines are made by mounting on top of the armor stand mounted on the player

etc

[proud pebble]

well from testing, moving the mob with sneaking the nametag does lag behind

[merry knoll]

oh then yeah

[proud pebble]

also

[merry knoll]

you dont really need the nametag entity in that case though

you can just send the packet for it to all nearby

[proud pebble]

kinda hard to see but it is above the head of the mob.

also i was going to change to packet armorstand instead of using actual armorstand

[merry knoll]

its quite simple if you use the remappings

hmm, i think you can name the mob as well no?

and force its name to be constantly visible through the tag?

you can do it with item entities afaik

so should work the same im assuming

[proud pebble]

that would cause issues if i wanted to jeb_ or dinnerbone the mob

[merry knoll]

thats true

altho maybe just add fake coloring to break that possibly?

not sure if it would work but something like
d&innerbone should fix?

as in the reset char

i cant remember what it was

[merry knoll]

the main issue you will run into will be intercepting all "spawn" packets

for the player if you go with this route

since the teleport and spawn packets are different

you will have to couple your own with the one thats being sent for the mob

[proud pebble]

basically, im going to have fun

[merry knoll]

yeah.. i was fiddling with a hologram api of my own

and doing it properly is a huge pain

decentholograms lowkey skip this by doing distance checks afaik

and resend constantly on a timer

[proud pebble]

[devout flume]

Does anyone now of a good library for Junit testing a plugin. more specifically for testing methods that contain JavaPlugin.getPlugin(MyPlugin.class)

[lyric gyro]

not sure what you mean by the last part but the "standard" solution for unit testing plugins is MockBukkit

[winged pebble]

You've encountered a major reason that people encourage you to stay away from static. Using DI, you can pass in a mocked instance, whereas the static getter isn't going to be accomodating for testing/mocking purposes

[lyric gyro]

The plugin instance is not mocked (that would be incredibly stupid), that getter should work fine and there are a few libraries that make use of it too

[merry knoll]

does anyone know when jdbc / hikari commits when you have autocommit = true?

[lyric gyro]

depends on the driver impl i suppose

[merry knoll]

apparently it commits on each statement

so im guessing you could not lock a row with that implementation

[devout flume]

Thank you

Is there a better way of doing this? I havent done SQL in a long long time and feel like theres definitely a much better way of doing this

        val statement = connection.prepareStatement("" +
                "INSERT INTO `wastage` (" +
                "`product`, `date`, `amount`, `percent`)" +
                " VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?)")
        statement.setString(1, variance.product)
        statement.setDate(2, Date.valueOf(variance.date))
        statement.setFloat(3, variance.amount)
        statement.setFloat(4, variance.percent)

        statement.executeUpdate()
    }

    private fun exists(variance:Variance):Boolean{
        val statement = connection.prepareStatement("SELECT * FROM `wastage` WHERE `date`" +
                "='${Date.valueOf(variance.date)}' AND `product`='${variance.product}'")
        val resultSet = statement.executeQuery()
        return resultSet.next()
    }```

I followed your advice and changed around a few things and now have working test

if you are doing bulk operations

you might want to insert multiple at the same time

with one query

I see

INSERT INTO class_result VALUES (1,’John’,’A’),(2,’Elsa’,’D’),(3,’Sophia’,’B’),(4,’Paul’,’B’),(5,’Saira’,’A’); <- like this

you should get the exact syntax for it

Here are a few solutions.

I dont have the start date tho

And I need to do it in just SQL now, no java/kotlin

[broken elbow]

Ah. My bad. I didn't realise this was a continuation to another conversation.

[broken elbow]

True. Well I was going to give you this link https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12783102/how-to-get-the-last-sunday-before-current-date but considering it's not java, it won't really help you.

[merry knoll]

i am not sure how you would get "last tuesday" but you can select using <> operators

but if its through java, then you can calculate it ^ like @broken elbow sent, then put them in the prepared statement

for timestamps i think the syntax is BETWEEN

WHERE columnName BETWEEN timestamp1 AND timestamp2 <-

you can also put in yyyy:mm:dd hh:mm:ss i think

not sure about the exact syntax of it

[broken elbow]

Idk if you can get the last Tuesday directly in SQL. You might have to calculate it in JAVA, then convert it to timestamp and then use what Aki gave you.

[merry knoll]

ah its possible apparently

Hi, I tried to code a scoreboard for a minigame (with a countdown and some other stats which are personalized for the Player) But it always flickers or doesn´t get set right. Does anyone know a good API for something like that or at least a good tutorial because i just can´t find anything helpful and i have no idea how i should even start now because of things like scoreboard teams which i dont understand.

[merry knoll]

set the group prefix and suffix

instead of setting the lines directly

[quaint skiff]

but how do they update then?

[merry knoll]

you update the group prefix and suffix

Uhm had an idea, to avoid DI, I have a reload method which basically updates an object to the values of the config file. It has checks to see if anything is wrong in the config, so what I did was create another class called ErrorInfo, which would contain the action done, player, and the error. So this reload method, if an error occurs, it returns that, if not, it would return null, is it a good idea?

I personally like it and find it organized, but I am unsure if it's the right approach or if it could cause any issues.

[merry knoll]

using static access?

its a bit of an anti-pattern

and effectively a singleton i am guessing

but for the case of the config, its kinda fine

[worn jasper]

nop

[merry knoll]

makes writing unit tests hell though

then dont you have to DI the config object?

without static abuse, you will have DI one way or another

[worn jasper]

I mean, yes, sure the config yes, but I really don't wanna have to DI the message handler (I have a method that parses the message and logs it into the console)

let me paste what I have rn, maybe it explains better what the idea is

[merry knoll]

it can probably be designed much better honestly

[worn jasper]

[worn jasper]

probably can

but I don't see how

[worn jasper]

uhm for context, I will have several objects of this

each being a gui

[dense drift]

that getOrDefault 🥲

[merry knoll]

why not just throw an exception

and catch it instead?

[worn jasper]

not personally glad of that one

[merry knoll]

effectively does what you want to do and thats what its for

[worn jasper]

good point......

although that still doesn't fix one issue

which is that I would have to DI the class that has the method that formats and logs the error

[merry knoll]

if (name.equals("-/-")) throw new InvalidConfigException(message)

done

ah

for logger classes

you probably want static access

using a singleton

Logger.getLogger() is a good example

[worn jasper]

oh so static wouldn't be an issue then?
