Ping when responding pls :)

[worn jasper]

just save when they close it? lol

[queen plank]

Well I can't really

[worn jasper]

why wouldn't you

[queen plank]

I don't know when they close it, or I can find out but it's goofy asf

[worn jasper]

there is legit an event for that?!

[queen plank]

Well obv I made my own

[worn jasper]

wdym made your own?

It's still an inventory, InventoryCloseEvent will be triggered

[broken elbow]

I mean you can do some pretty complex stuff. It is up to you to decide how it should work but you could do a few things:

• Save all changes they make in memory
• If they close the menu, ask for confirmation (using another menu in which they can go back to the previous one with their changes or exit without saving)
• If they exit the server without confirming or denying, save the changes in a new table and ask for confirmation the next time they join and try to edit. Also, don't let them edit again until they confirm.

[queen plank]

My GUI system is built on conversations, which is used cross all my plugins. It consists of a deque of Conversations which are both chat and GUI based. These conversation does not necessarily have to mean that a user is editing something. And if they are, they can be editing in the chat. Also there are multiple different types of structures

[broken elbow]

Oh. I though they just didn't know what the best flow would be.

[worn jasper]

If it's conversations, then I would assume it's a step by step thing, just save it in memory like said before.

[queen plank]

The confirmation one is the best ig. I still have to make some goofy way of telling what they are editing based on the conversations?

[worn jasper]

if it's per message and they exit, you will have the previous edits

if it's in GUI, just listen to the close event

[queen plank]

What do you mean step by step?

[worn jasper]

What's your name?
Afonso
What's your favorite food?
Pizza
ETC.

just save at which position they are

and their answers to the previous ones.

[queen plank]

There is no good way of doing it though. Ig I can flag them if they start editing and unflag them when they exit. If they exit mid convo I'll ask for confirmation. Ig that's the best way?

[queen plank]

Oh well it does not really work like that. It's more of a GUI -> Select value -> enter value in chat -> open GUI again over and over ish

So not q1 -> q2 -> q2 -> ... -> GUI

[worn jasper]

why not stay in GUI?

use anvils

[queen plank]

What about lists?

[worn jasper]

?

[queen plank]

Say lore

[worn jasper]

what's with that

you can't use them as input lol

[queen plank]

You can't really edit lore in an anvil.

[worn jasper]

you can't edit all lines, but you can edit one by one

which is what you would do in chat eitherway

since you can't have multiple lines in chat

[queen plank]

Yeah but that's kinda wonky no? I mean this is what I have now, it's hard to do this outside of chat. I think I'll go with the flag/confirmation thingy.

[worn jasper]

why would it be wonky though

you can easily do the same exact functions in an anvil

[queen plank]

Like how would you display this in a GUI

[worn jasper]

lmao

[queen plank]

yeah the line editing part is fine ig. But how would you show the list if not in chat?

[worn jasper]

You have 3 item slots in an anvil + text input

use them lol

you can literally showcase the item itself with the lore (like in the image)

inside the anvil gui

even better than chat, since you see the actual item and it's lore

instead of some mimic in chat

[queen plank]

I mean in theory you can show the item in a slot. But moving lines, selecting one to edit and removing lines is hard. Or at least idk how that would be done in a good way.

[worn jasper]

on a side note, these types of "ingame builders" are quite overrated and most of the time, are barely used lmao, just saying.

[queen plank]

its more than an item builder

[worn jasper]

why would it? have in one slot, the lore with all lines, with the line currently being edited highlighted

right click to go up

left click to go down

and voila

[worn jasper]

ingame builders overall tend to not be used at all, or very rarely, since config is simply WAY faster. So, I wouldn't lose too much time on it imo

[queen plank]

"I want to edit line 15, click,click,click,click. Now I want to swap the places of line 1 and 2, click,click,click,click"

[queen plank]

Again its much more than an item builder. The lore is just an example.

[worn jasper]

I am not speaking about item builders though

I am speaking about overall builders xD

[worn jasper]

I find it way better than chat imo, chat stays there and polutes the chat + incoming messages from players will disturb it unless you do some funky stuff

[queen plank]

Well the entire selling point is GUIs, and there is a good market for it. I promise you the GUI will be used :)

[worn jasper]

I am not speaking about guis not being used lol

I am speaking about builders not being used. Several "ingame building gui" plugins, which advertise it as one of their main selling points, according to their own developers, are barely used lmao

[queen plank]

ok xd.

[worn jasper]

it's very junky to use overall because of the limitations of minecraft itself

and even if you ignore that, from an User Experience stand point, going back and forth from gui to chat and vice versa is simply unpleasent

either stay with one or the other

[queen plank]

depends how good you design them. my users would tell you otherwise

[queen plank]

This is much more but sure. cant be bothered with this anymore lmao. bai, the initial help was good so thanks for that at least

[worn jasper]

This is just my POV on this, (and several other developers), solutions were given, you choose whatever you wanna do

[queen plank]

Like try telling UltraPlugin users that GUIs suck xd

[worn jasper]

that's funny that you mentioned those

but welp

[worn jasper]

.

[queen plank]

Yeah sure, some people dislike GUIs, you for example. But on the other hand a lot of people like GUIs. Why not have both? That way to can provide a good product for everyone.

[worn jasper]

bro. I legit don't care, I already said what I had to say, leave it. And you are missing the whole point but I won't even try to explain it. As said, you do you, solutions were given, now leave it.

[dense drift]

I got a 2 stars review because my plugin is "not up to standards" and doesnt have a way to edit configs in-game

[worn jasper]

lmao

as said, from what I spoke with several devs which their plugins do have it, they say those systems are barely used.

[dense drift]

Anyways, in-game editors are shit, since you have to hover over each item to see what it represents

[worn jasper]

Which is funny cause they are widely asked, but once users get it, they are used once or twice and never use it again lmao

yeah

[river solstice]

its kinda a thing that is a nice to have, well, for people that dont have access to the file system

but the things that need to be configured are more often than not meant for the server owner or dev, not staff

[minor summit]

professional server plugin configurator yml developer

[torpid raft]

im a professional server custom item name color picker

[tight junco]

my take is that if someone doesn't have access to file systems, they shouldnt be touching configs for a reason

plus the system of implementing ingame editors is the jankiest shit in the world and the people who use them are morons anyway

[fleet barn]

does anyone here can introduce me just a lil bit to publishing spigotmc plugins?

i created my first plugin that i want to publish but i dont know what i can and cannot do

[grim oasis]

any ideas for things that you "can or cannot do"?
Just a little confused, there are tons of random plugins out there

[fleet barn]

idk im just a little bit stressing about my acc getting banned or some shit

[grim oasis]

O.o

https://i.imgur.com/Brb2GtF.jpeg

[grim oasis]

hopefully you aren't trying to upload anything malicious 😂

I feel that might say more about what you're making than spigot's rules 😂 😬

[hoary scarab]

Why would you be worried about getting banned for posting a resource. Unless you intentionally adding malicious code or posting something that isn't yours, you're fine.

[river solstice]

yeah that was my second point

[river solstice]

that was not what I meant lol

[worn jasper]

Adding to the above, I would also think twice, "do I really need to publish this?" cause there are simply too many repeated plugins, with (no offense) bad code in spigot. I would only consider posting anything if your plugin actually brings something new or different imo. (or if a plugin already exists but doesn't have X thing that you added, that's okay)

On a side note, if you end up posting something, I would 100% ditch spigotmc and use Hangar and Modrinth. And I would also use Paper API.

[worn jackal]

who can i use getRankupName

?

[minor summit]

what

[torpid raft]

me

[proud pebble]

you're gunna have to give a bit more context then that if your actually wanting support

since that method doesnt seem to exist in the spigotapi

[queen plank]

This is called multiple times per event, any idea what would be the cause of it?

private static final EventListener EVENT_EXECUTOR = new EventListener();
private static final Set<Class<? extends Event>> REGISTERED_LISTENERS = new HashSet<>();

public void registerListener() {
  Class<E> event = getEventClass();
  if (REGISTERED_LISTENERS.contains(event))
    return;

  REGISTERED_LISTENERS.add(event);
  Bukkit.getPluginManager().registerEvent(event, EVENT_EXECUTOR, EventPriority.NORMAL, EVENT_EXECUTOR, PLUGIN);
}

private static class EventListener implements Listener, EventExecutor {

  private EventListener() {}

  @Override
  public void execute(Listener listener, Event event) throws EventException {
    System.out.println("event " + event);
    Driver.dispatch(event);
  }
}

[minor summit]

it depends on the event type

some events subclass other events, event A extends listenable event B, if you register the listener for both events but only A is fired, the executor will get called for "both" registrations

although that is also not guaranteed, if A has its own handler list then that won't happen

bukkit event bus is hot garbage

[sterile hinge]

(also Set#add returns a boolean)

[queen plank]

That is not the case for some events that are called multiple times, meaning it is not the cause.

[queen plank]

Yeah I know, but it checks just before. And I've souted each registration, no event is registered twice.

[sterile hinge]

yeah but you can skip the check

[queen plank]

Ahh ok I see! Didn't think of that.

[minor summit]

it is entirely possible for no event to be registered twice and what i described above to still happen

[queen plank]

But that requires them to be subclasses no?

[minor summit]

yeah, but the event class itself will not be registered twice

[sterile hinge]

you can probably check if event.getClass() == the class you expect before calling into your code

[minor summit]

CraftItemEvent extends InventoryClickEvent
CraftItemEvent shares the same handler list with InventoryClickEvent

you can register a listener for both InventoryClickEvent and CraftItemEvent
the listener for InventoryClickEvent will be called twice whenever CraftItemEvent is fired, because you have two separate registrations for the same handler list

[queen plank]

ffs

[final cosmos]

I tried to use papi 2.11.x from repo.extendedclip.com in gradle, but i get > Could not download placeholderapi-2.11.5.jar (me.clip:placeholderapi:2.11.5) > Could not get resource 'https://repo.extendedclip.com/content/repositories/placeholderapi/me/clip/placeholderapi/2.11.5/placeholderapi-2.11.5.jar'. > Could not HEAD 'https://repo.extendedclip.com/content/repositories/placeholderapi/me/clip/placeholderapi/2.11.5/placeholderapi-2.11.5.jar'. it works fine with 2.10.9. Is there anything special I need to use 2.11.5?

[minor summit]

idk, it's there https://repo.extendedclip.com/content/repositories/placeholderapi/me/clip/placeholderapi/2.11.5/

[worn jasper]

Quick question, using configurate object mapper, how would I achieve something like this in yaml:

list:
  1: "something"
  2: "something_else"
# etc

I know that you can use Sets to achieve a StringList, like

list:
  - A
  - B
# etc

but that's not really what I want

[dusky harness]

I don't use configurate, but in other libs that'd be like a Map<Integer, String>

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[worn jasper]

hmmm

[minor summit]

yeah that's just a map

[lilac portal]

Method does not override method from its superclass

private void registerPlaceholder() {
    if (getProxy().getPluginManager().getPlugin("PlaceholderAPI") != null) {
        // Registering a PlaceholderHook with PlaceholderAPI
        PlaceholderAPI.registerPlaceholderHook(this, "mythiccredits_ertek", new PlaceholderHook() {
            @Override
            public String onPlaceholderRequest(ProxiedPlayer player, String params) {
                if (player != null && params.equals("mythiccredits_ertek")) {
                    int creditAmount = DatabaseManager.getCredits(player.getName());
                    return String.valueOf(creditAmount);
                }
                return null;
            }
        });
    } else {
        getLogger().warning("PlaceholderAPI not found! Placeholder registration failed.");
    }
}

Can someone help me with this?

[worn jasper]

idk, but that doesn't look like what's displayed in the wiki

on the phone rn

so...

[dense drift]

ProxiedPlayer, registerPlaceholderHook??

[final cosmos]

i know it's there and I don't have any issue with 2.10.x just any of 2.11.x, gradle cannot locate them.

[shell moon]

tf, PlaceholderAPI in proxy?

🤯

[dense drift]

Probably a different plugin

[robust flower]

what is the !learnjava command thing again? I need the links to send to a friend

[hoary scarab]

?learn-java

[waxen vector]

can i just add the placeholderAPI repo to my forge mod and use it normally? or do i HAVE to use it in a plugin

also

its :/

wiki.placeholderapi.com/developers/creating-a-placeholderexpansion/#register-your-expansion

Due to the PlaceholderExpansion being internal, does PlaceholderAPI not load it automatically, requiring us to do it manually.

should be PlaceholderAPI does not load it...

[dense drift]

Papi is a plugin, not a mod.

[waxen vector]

ik, but cant i just use it in my mod ?

i can use luckperms

so i thought maybe i can use this too

[dense drift]

Try and see 🙂

[dark garnet]

is 300 ms considered slow for setting a value for data or whatever

cause im experimenting with SQL and my method for setting a value takes around 300 ms (as it also creates table + column beforehand)

public void setValue(@NotNull String table, @NotNull String target, @NotNull String column, @NotNull String value) {
    createTable(table);
    createColumn(table, column);
    setValue(table, target, column, value); // not recursive, i just replaced statement execution with this to make this more understandable
}

[torpid raft]

300ms isn't awful depending on how you're handling that time (running it async, caching it so it can be used immediately) but this function seems pretty not ideal

[dense drift]

Why do you have to create and add a column every time?

[dark garnet]

if the column doesnt exist then the value wont be set

[dense drift]

Why wouldnt the column exist?

[dark garnet]

if its the first time setting a value, user for some reason deletes it, etc...

[torpid raft]

why would the user delete a column just like that

[dark garnet]

idk but mainly the first reason ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[torpid raft]

you can run a few queries to initialize all your tables when your plugin first loads

then you wont have to worry about tables or columns not existing

I would definitely recommend getting some more exposure to how people effectively use SQL for minecraft and really any applications, it's very strong but also is different to work with in some respects compared to handling data in just java

so if you charge in head first you might make lots of silly mistakes that make SQL very difficult to use

[dark garnet]

hmmm yeah, i had that for tables, but since im putting this into my framework, i thought it'd be too annoying to have to declare all the names of the tables/columns id be using

but ig its better than having slow times

[torpid raft]

this shouldn't be too bad, but were you planning on having dynamic tables / columns based on the person using your framework? or just the same static schema for everyone

because the way you made your function makes it seem like you'll let people make their own tables and columns on the fly

[dark garnet]

the framework has its own table that stores data for entities using a class that already exists in the framework which has 3 methods: get, set, remove
the method i posted above is really only useful for that, so i might just get rid of the separate method and combine with the existing class

@NotNull private final DataManager dataManager;
@NotNull private final String table;

public StringData(@NotNull AnnoyingPlugin plugin, @NotNull String table, @NotNull String string) {
    super(plugin, string, string);
    if (plugin.dataManager == null) throw new IllegalStateException("Data manager is not enabled/initialized. Make sure options.dataOptions.enabled is true!");
    this.dataManager = plugin.dataManager;
    this.table = dataManager.getTableName(table);
}

@Override @Nullable
public String get(@NotNull String key) {
    return dataManager.getValue(table, target, key);
}

@Override @NotNull
protected Data<String> set(@NotNull String key, @NotNull String value) {
    dataManager.setValue(table, target, key, value);
    return this;
}

@Override @NotNull
public Data<String> remove(@NotNull String key) {
    dataManager.removeValue(table, target, key);
    return this;
}

see, literally just calls the other methods, kinda useless to have them separate, and probably confusing

i think if other ppl or i were to wanna create new tables/columns in their plugin, it'd have to be done manually, but idk, i havent gotten that far yet

[torpid raft]

i see

well in any case i think a good rule of thumb is to limit what your public methods can do as much as possible to their own scope

this code seems to be doing that moderately well so all good there

[dark garnet]

my end goal with this was to have the 3 simple methods, get/set/remove, that can be used for entities to store values, similar to PDC (as thats what i was using before)

[dark garnet]

this reminded me of dialects, so i have no idea what to do about that

[lilac portal]

for (ProxiedPlayer p : getProxy().getPlayers()) {
    p.playSound(p.getLocation(), "entity.experience_orb.pickup", 1.0f, 1.0f);
}

Can someone help me out with the correct syntax?

Issue:

Cannot resolve method 'playSound' in 'ProxiedPlayer'
Cannot resolve method 'getLocation' in 'ProxiedPlayer'

[ocean crow]

Can you even play a sound via ProxiedPlayer?

@lilac portal Bungeecord or Velocity?

As well what version

[lilac portal]

Bungeecord and 1.18.2

[ocean crow]

Yeah I don’t think you can play a sound through bungeecord

Same with getting a players location via getProxy().getPlayers()

[lilac portal]

And what about hex color gradients?

[ocean crow]

Probably could do that as it’s above 1.16.

Just depends on how you’re doing it.

[lilac portal]

Well i have this atm:

§x§C§B§2§D§3§E§lM§x§C§F§3§0§3§E§ly§x§D§2§3§2§3§D§lt§x§D§6§3§5§3§D§lh§x§D§9§3§7§3§C§li§x§D§D§3§A§3§C§lc§x§E§1§3§D§3§C§lM§x§E§4§3§F§3§B§lé§x§E§8§4§2§3§B§ld§x§E§B§4§4§3§A§li§x§E§F§4§7§3§A§la

[ocean crow]

I use legacy on MCHub as well, but there’s a way todo formats like #FFFFFF

[lilac portal]

what about this?

<gradient#CB2D3E:#EF473A>MythicMedia</gradient>

[ocean crow]

You’d need to add MiniMessage support if you don’t have it already.

https://docs.advntr.dev/minimessage/index.html

[lilac portal]

Ty i'll try this

[ocean crow]

Kk :D

[lilac portal]

Sorry, another thing

Is there a way with this so i can just say "Click here" and there would be a link embeded, and when the user clicks on it, it would request to open the link as default by minecraft?

[ocean crow]

Uh

I believe so. Lemme look at the docs rq.

[lilac portal]

ty :D

[ocean crow]

https://docs.advntr.dev/minimessage/format.html#click

That should be it.

[lilac portal]

Yeah i am watching it but can't seem to find a solution as i want it to work or i might just be blind

i want to say "Click here" and embeded there should be a variable "link" which would obviously be a link provided by the player

[ocean crow]

Yeah you should be able to do that

[lilac portal]

But how

[dense drift]

<click:_action_:_argument_>text</click>

Action will be open_url and the argument will be the url

[ocean crow]

Yeah

[lilac portal]

Lemme try

[dense drift]

Are you coding using chatgpt?

[lilac portal]

No

just for some stuff i can't seem to find inside the docs

if it has some better ideas

[dense drift]

Ok, take a closer look at the docs because they are very well structured, you have a list with all the actions

[lilac portal]

I messed up something i think xd

[ocean crow]

What’s up?

Whatcha getting?

[lilac portal]

I mean

lemme upload it to imgur

[ocean crow]

Okay

[lilac portal]

https://imgur.com/amdDzkP

[ocean crow]

You don’t have it parsing through MiniMessage

You’re just sending it via a normal chat message.

[lilac portal]

How can i make this work then:

getProxy().broadcast(new TextComponent("§8[<gradient#CB2D3E:#EF473A>MythicMedia</gradient>§8] » §c" + sender.getName() + " §félőben közvetít hálózatunkon!\n§8• §fMegtekintés: §4§n<click:open_url:" + link +">Kattints ide.</click>§r §7§o(Platform: " + platform + ")."));

[dense drift]

Despite both having the name "component", what you are using is from the bungeecord chat api

[lilac portal]

from bungeecord i use these:

import net.md_5.bungee.api.CommandSender;
import net.md_5.bungee.api.chat.TextComponent;
import net.md_5.bungee.api.connection.ProxiedPlayer;
import net.md_5.bungee.api.plugin.Command;
import net.md_5.bungee.api.plugin.Plugin;

[ocean crow]

Yeah gotta use MiniMessages API, not Bungeecords

[lilac portal]

this?
https://docs.advntr.dev/minimessage/api.html

[ocean crow]

Yea

[lilac portal]

I need to tho

i was stupid

alr i have this in my pom

 <dependency>
    <groupId>net.kyori</groupId>
    <artifactId>adventure-text-minimessage</artifactId>
    <version>4.15.0</version>
 </dependency>

Now do i need to make it look something like this?

getProxy().broadcast(MiniMessage.miniMessage().deserialize(new TextComponent("§8[<gradient#CB2D3E:#EF473A>MythicMedia</gradient>§8] » §c" + sender.getName() + " §félőben közvetít hálózatunkon!\n§8• §fMegtekintés: §4§n<click:open_url:" + link +">Kattints ide.</click>§r §7§o(Platform: " + platform + ").")));

[ocean crow]

Give it a shot

[lilac portal]

it was underlined

[ocean crow]

A lot of development is trial and era.

[lilac portal]

so maybe this could work?

Object mm = MiniMessage.miniMessage();
            getProxy().broadcast(mm.deserialize(new TextComponent("§8[<gradient#CB2D3E:#EF473A>MythicMedia</gradient>§8] » §c" + sender.getName() + " §félőben közvetít hálózatunkon!\n§8• §fMegtekintés: §4§n<click:open_url:" + link +">Kattints ide.</click>§r §7§o(Platform: " + platform + ").")));

[dense drift]

What are you doing mate...

[lilac portal]

Trying to make this work

I am a beginer in this

[dense drift]

Read the docs

[lilac portal]

In the docs there is var, but as soon as i put var inside my code it becomes red :/

[dense drift]

You need to use this https://docs.advntr.dev/platform/bungeecord.html
And after you get an Audience you can send Components to it

var test = "Hi"; is the same as String test = "Hi"; in java 11 >

You only specify the type once

Im not sure how to send broadcasts, but I'd say you simply send the message to each player one by one

[lilac portal]

I can't figure this out..

It would be easier with a simple text but i have a paragraph, which should include 2 words that should be clickable..

with ofc the link

[dark garnet]

hi back with sql questions
i want to support 5 types; h2, sqlite, mysql, mariadb, postgresql
but when i end up adding all of the drivers, my framework's size is around 28 MB

[minor summit]

ok

[torpid raft]

ok

i was under the impression that mysql and mariadb could use the same drivers, that could save you some space

if true

[waxen vector]

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: me/clip/placeholderapi/expansion/PlaceholderExpansion

ig i cant :/

[tight junco]

how did you implement it in

cause if you used compileOnly thats your first fault

[dusky harness]

I don't think so - you'll probably need something like https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/forge-placeholderapi (https://github.com/EnvyWare/ForgePlaceholderAPI/wiki/)

although it doesn't seem to be as big as PAPI

I don't run forge/fabric servers so I don't really know what the equivalent would be, if any

[digital temple]

Does anyone have experience with ProtocolLib on 1.20.4? I'm trying to create a fake sign. Everything works perfectly, only the predefined text is not transferred to the sign.

This is my Code for the fake sign. Maybe someone here knows a solution
https://pastebin.com/cKhAAExa

[waxen vector]

i dont have loom :O

i just did implementation() 🔥

[river solstice]

yes bro

thats fire

ong

[waxen vector]

i have never used anything other than that before, how do u think i should add it?

[river solstice]

compileOnly dependencies are required to compile your code but are not included in the runtime classpath.

implementation: dependencies are required to compile **and **run your code.

Ex. if you're making a plugin that uses PlaceholderAPI, the classes are loaded by the plugin itself, meaning you can use compileOnly. If you don't have a jar that loads those classes for you, you need to include them in your jar yourself via implementation.

[analog skiff]

I need help with my plugin. When i enter the placeholder into anything it doesnt display the correct way. i have created 2 placeholder the first being %evadedeco_top_balance_player_x% where x is the number of that player e.g. the 10th player in the baltop list and the second placeholder being %evadedeco_top_balance_1% where x is the number of that players balance e.g. the 10th players balance

EvadedCore.java (main class)
https://hastebin.com/share/ozagozacix.typescript

TopBalancePlaceholder.java (creation of the placeholders)
https://hastebin.com/share/umafugafis.typescript

plugin.yml
https://hastebin.com/share/uxaxejomeh.yaml

[river solstice]

what doesnt work specifically

[analog skiff]

When i type in the placeholder into something such as an item in a deluxemenus gui the name of the item doesnt update to what it should be

im not exactly sure whats causing this

[river solstice]

does it work in /papi parse?

[analog skiff]

i can check rn

when i do papi parse it replies with the placeholder not updated to what it should say

/papi parse --null %evadedeco_top_balance_1%

just shows %evadedeco_top_balance_1%

rather than the actual top balance

[river solstice]

uh

your identifier will not contain the prefix

[analog skiff]

what do you mean

[river solstice]

so if (identifier.startsWith("evadedeco_top_balance_player_")) { should be if (identifier.startsWith("top_balance_player_")) {

[analog skiff]

o

so is that the entire issue

so if i typed evadedeco_evadedeco_top_balance_1 it would work ?

[river solstice]

no

change the if statement

well

nvm

yes, it shouldd

[analog skiff]

    public String onRequest(Player player, String identifier) {
        if (identifier.startsWith("top_balance_player_")) {
            int rank;
            try {
                rank = Integer.parseInt(identifier.replace("evadedeco_top_balance_player_", ""));
            } catch (NumberFormatException e) {
                return "InvalidRank";
            }
            return getTopPlayer(rank);
        } else if (identifier.startsWith("top_balance_")) {
            int rank;
            try {
                rank = Integer.parseInt(identifier.replace("evadedeco_top_balance_", ""));
            } catch (NumberFormatException e) {
                return "InvalidRank";
            }
            return getTopBalance(rank);
        }
        return null;
    }

i have updated it like so

Even with this update to the code it still just doesnt work

[river solstice]

your identifier does not contain the prefix

in identifier top_balance_player_ you're replacing evadedeco_top_balance_player_ to empty string

it does not contain evadedeco_, hence, it doesnt get replaced

the placeholder you want to parse is %evadedeco_top_balance_player_1%, the identifier will be top_balance_player_1.

[analog skiff]

yes but the reason i have it as evadedeco_top_balance_player is because i need this to work for top balance 1 - 10

[river solstice]

    public String onRequest(Player player, String identifier) {
        if (identifier.startsWith("top_balance_player_")) {
            int rank;
            try {
                rank = Integer.parseInt(identifier.replace("top_balance_player_", ""));
            } catch (NumberFormatException e) {
                return "InvalidRank";
            }
            return getTopPlayer(rank);
        } else if (identifier.startsWith("top_balance_")) {
            int rank;
            try {
                rank = Integer.parseInt(identifier.replace("top_balance_", ""));
            } catch (NumberFormatException e) {
                return "InvalidRank";
            }
            return getTopBalance(rank);
        }
        return null;
    }

there you go

Im sorry that im new to implementing placeholders lol

but on a real not tysm

[river solstice]

well that's not really a placeholder issue

it told you what's wrong

[analog skiff]

its a me not understanding how to implement it ik

[river solstice]

you're checking if it starts with top_balance_player_ and then for some reason replacing evadedeco_top_balance_player_, where ``evadedeco` is your prefix, when I told you that your identifier will not have it.

[analog skiff]

so should it work like this in my plugin.yml?

# Add PlaceholderAPI placeholders
placeholders:
  top_balance_player_x:
    author: LmaoLoq
    version: 20.0
    identifier: top_balance_player_
    expansion: me.lmaoloq.eco.TopBalancePlaceholder
  top_balance_x:
    author: LmaoLoq
    version: 20.0
    identifier: top_balance_
    expansion: me.lmaoloq.eco.TopBalancePlaceholder

[river solstice]

honestly I havent seen this config so I can't tell

[analog skiff]

...

[twin dawn]

Anyone know how to manage through the refferal_code in discord oauth, I have tried sending it as a param or in state to the discord login api of my website. I want that the refferal code i send from here, after the successfull login i can receive the same id in my callback function.

[river solstice]

You mean you want to pass some data to OAUTH, then on successful authorization return it back?

[analog skiff]

For some reason my balance placeholder isnt working. The placeholder should be %evadedeco_balance% I honestly dont know where i fucked up

This is how i register the placeholder

        // Register placeholder with PlaceholderAPI
        if (getServer().getPluginManager().isPluginEnabled("PlaceholderAPI")) {
            new BalancePlaceholder(economy, this).register();
            new TopBalancePlaceholder(economy, config).register();
            getLogger().info("Registered custom placeholders with PlaceholderAPI.");
        } else {
            getLogger().warning("PlaceholderAPI not found. Custom placeholders will not work.");
        }

This is How i create the placeholder

package me.lmaoloq.eco;

import me.clip.placeholderapi.expansion.PlaceholderExpansion;
import net.milkbowl.vault.economy.Economy;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;

import me.lmaoloq.evadedcore.EvadedCore;

public class BalancePlaceholder extends PlaceholderExpansion {

    private final Economy economy;
    private final EvadedCore plugin;

    public BalancePlaceholder(Economy economy, EvadedCore plugin) {
        this.economy = economy;
        this.plugin = plugin;
    }

    public String onRequest(Player player, String identifier) {
        if (player == null) {
            return "";
        }

        if (identifier.equals("balance")) {
            return formatBalance(economy.getBalance(player));
        }

        return null;
    }

    private String formatBalance(double amount) {
        return plugin.formatMoney(amount);
    }

    @Override
    public String getIdentifier() {
        return "evadedeco";
    }

    @Override
    public String getAuthor() {
        return "LmaoLoq";
    }

    @Override
    public String getVersion() {
        return "8.0";
    }
}

[sterile hinge]

aren't there placeholders for vault already?

[analog skiff]

.... i didnt realise that one xD

[hoary scarab]

getIdentifier is "evadedeco" but onRequest checks for "balance"... Haven't made placeholders with papi but maybe check that?

[analog skiff]

The reason i want to make my own placeholder is because i have a config that changes the currencySymbol. e.g. if set to $ everywhere money is show it will be $

[dense drift]

GetIdentifier and the String parameter from onRequest are two different things

The value returned by getIdentifier is the first part of the placeholder e.g., %vault_eco_balance% here vault is what you return on getIdentifier and eco_balance is what you get on onRequest

[hoary scarab]

👍

On that note. Send a screenshot and check for errors.

[analog skiff]

Could it be because i did onRequest and not onPlaceholderRequest

[dense drift]

no, both methods get called and you should use onRequest

[analog skiff]

its becuase i didnt have the @Override

[dense drift]

No

[analog skiff]

yep

second i added it it worked perfectly

[dense drift]

@Override is just for reading purpose from my experience, though it is recommended to have it

[analog skiff]

Welp i didnt have it in the code i sent earlier and once i added it the code started working perfectly

[dense drift]

Thats why you use a proper ide and let it handle these things for you

[analog skiff]

😦 im using Eclipse ide its old but works

[dense drift]

It is just old

[river solstice]

It helps prevent the case when you write a function that you think overrides another one but you misspelled something and you get completely unexpected behavior.

Sincerely,
StackOverflow

but yeah, its not necessary, just makes sure you are really overriding something

[orchid acorn]

Hey, Im new to this and wanted to learn how to make plugins and whatnot, so I was wondering what the best way to start/learn is ?
Still need to learn Java but like what in Java should I focus on and then what can I do after that?

[neat pier]

FAQ Answer:

Online Courses:
Online courses are also great for learning java. Some websites that offer them are:

• Coursera - Free unless you want a certificate
• PluralSight - Great courses from what I've seen. Mostly Paid
• Udemy - Never used them myself but they seem to all or at least most be paid.
  My first ever course was one from Coursera. - I can say it was pretty good at introducing me to the programming world as a whole not just java.

Oracle Docs:
Oracle docs can help a lot at learning and understanding java:

• Start with this,
• Breeze through this (skipping stuff that doesn't seem relevant like bitwise operators),
• Hit this.
  They're the first three from this larger thing which you should definitely go through overall. But those three should be enough for slightly better understanding of what is happening here without feeling like a huge time sink.
  That one is a small part of this larger site wherein "Essential Java Classes" and "Collections" also have good useful stuff

Other services:
Some other cool services that will help you learn java are:

• SoloLearn
• W3Schools
• JetBrains Academy

As you can see there are plenty of good ways to learn as long as you're willing to invest the time. Have fun learning!

[grim oasis]

I would advise learning java and knowing how the language functions before trying to tackle plugin creating.

Hypocritical advise slightly because I mainly started with plugins, but I have taken a comp sci java class and my knowledge has only improved since

[orchid acorn]

Oh

But wdym how it functions, i took a AP comp sci class in hs which was java based but i forgot most of it

but relearning should be easier than learning for the first time no?

Teach what?

[terse osprey]

💀💀💀

[grim oasis]

I can’t really speak for your experience with it. But if you forgot all of it, then yes; you would need to learn how the language works and operates. What rules it follows, conventions, what OOP is if you forgot, etc.

[orchid acorn]

Ah I see

And are minecraft plugins generally hard to make?

[grim oasis]

I wouldn’t entirely say so, it’s about the same as getting to learn any other API

[orchid acorn]

Oh

I see

Ive never had experience with API's and stuff

dont think I learned OOP either

[grim oasis]

java is an OOP language, object-oriented programming

no error

[tight junco]

have you ever heard of using ```

primarily

secondly, only give us the code thats like actually relevant to the issue

dont include all the comments

third

Check what block the player is actually standing in

System.out.println(player.getLocation().getBlock().getType())

[river solstice]

if(Main.isInWater(p))
return "true"
else return "false"; 💀

blud

how can there be so many mistakes in such few lines of code

[proud pebble]

that code looks like it was written by chatgpt or smth

[worn jasper]

lmao

[waxen vector]

How bad is the idea of making a placeholder that reads from a file in every single request

[dark garnet]

that saved about 5 MB, still at around 23 MB tho :(

[spiral prairie]

ever thought about spigots lib system?

[dark garnet]

never heard of it

[spiral prairie]

whaaat

[dark garnet]

send link

[minor summit]

it's the thing that breaks maven central's ToS

[dark garnet]

[spiral prairie]

yep

also SQLite and MySQL drivers are included in Spigot

[dark garnet]

no way

[spiral prairie]

https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/plugin-yml/

scroll down to libraries

[dusky harness]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/stash/projects/SPIGOT/repos/craftbukkit/browse/pom.xml#227-238 @dark garnet

if u want to use them

although those are intended for internal use

[dark garnet]

why does spigot need mysql/sqlite?

[dusky harness]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

true

[dark garnet]

does 1.8.8 have it

[dusky harness]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/stash/projects/SPIGOT/repos/craftbukkit/browse/pom.xml?at=refs%2Fheads%2Fversion%2F1.8.8#58-71
it uses a diff mysql connector though, idk what the difference is

[dark garnet]

this is for my framework tho, dont rly wanna have to declare the libraries in all of my plugins

[spiral prairie]

then deal with the file size

[dark garnet]

so can i just remove mysql/sqlite from my jar then and it should work?

[dusky harness]

you wanna use the same dependencies and its versions too

[dark garnet]

wdym?

[dusky harness]

like if you use a newer version in ur build.gradle then it might break

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[dark garnet]

it wouldnt even be in my build.gradle.kts at all

[dusky harness]

oh

ok i dont know how sql works

[dark garnet]

i just specify the classpath of the driver class and jdbc does funky stuff idk

// Load driver
try {
    Class.forName(method.driver);
} catch (final ClassNotFoundException e) {
    AnnoyingPlugin.LOGGER.log(Level.SEVERE, "Failed to load the database driver: " + method.driver, e);
    return null;
}

so the dependencies r runtimeOnly actually

[dark garnet]

they're compile only :(

[dusky harness]

oh 💀

no it isn't

[dark garnet]

<scope>compile</scope>

[dusky harness]

gradle used to have compile but its now implementation

fun history fact of the day 🙃

[dark garnet]

omg

its only 5 MB now!

[dark garnet]

1.8.8 doesnt generate a libraries folder, but 1.20.4 does (with mysql/sqlite), where is mysql/sqlite for 1.8.8?

[dusky harness]

i think its just in the server jar

[dark garnet]

nope

[dusky harness]

not the one from papermc

but like the one generated from that

[dark garnet]

.............

[dusky harness]

in cache folder or smth

[dark garnet]

oh yeah

cache/patched_1.8.8.jar

😠

[dark garnet]

[hoary scarab]

Nope. Just went back to hiding them with flags.

[terse osprey]

Anybody with NMS NPC experience can you explain something to me. I’m trying to apply a skin to my NPC but it doesn’t seem to take. Am I supposed to spawn the NPC first then update its skin or should I set the textures property on spawn?

I’ve tried both ways, each time the NPC spawns but with its default skin producing no errors both times.

[minor summit]

is the textures property signed?

[terse osprey]

Ya signature and… the other one. I’m not at pc right now so I forget what it’s called but both are gotten from mineskin using json

[hoary scarab]

What version?

[terse osprey]

I’m caching both values to a file and from what I can tell from debug they’re being retrieved properly

[terse osprey]

Latest 1.20.4

[hoary scarab]

Are you setting the PlayerProfile and PlayerTextures?

[terse osprey]

Umm no I don’t think I am. Just player profile. PlayerTextures?

[hoary scarab]

Thats how you set the skin now is update the skin URL in PlayerTextures.

[terse osprey]

Is this new? Like recent versions?

[hoary scarab]

1.18+

[proud pebble]

i personally dont register them, i just use nms to apply the nbt data to the itemstack and then just check for it in the specific events it would be used

since enchantments wont show on the itemstack tooltip without modifying the lore

i have to manually change the lore and deal with all the bs

[hoary scarab]

In my case... it was for the enchantment glow.

[proud pebble]

i just used protection 0, then replaced it if a higher version of protection was wanted on the itemstack

[terse osprey]

Am I able to get/set PlayerTextures of a ServerPlayer?

[proud pebble]

you might beable to get, but i dont think you can set since from like 1.7.x player textures have been signed or smth and prevent you from doing so

afaik player's texture is stored under gameprofile

[terse osprey]

Ya in my case the NPC the GameProfile textures are not set and when I try to set them it doesn’t update the skin

[hoary scarab]

You have to set the PlayerProfile now.

[terse osprey]

Even through NMS?

[hoary scarab]

Yeap

[proud pebble]

when was playerprofile added?

[hoary scarab]

1.18+

[proud pebble]

im trying to find it but only find gameprofile

[terse osprey]

I’ve gone through Citizens2 and another plugin and I haven’t seen any mention of PlayerProfile… plus doesn’t the URL have to be from the mojang servers? Mine are saved locally

[proud pebble]

playerprofile seems to be a paper specific thing

[hoary scarab]

Yes it has to come from the textures.minecraft.net API

[terse osprey]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/profile/PlayerProfile.html

[proud pebble]

thats deprecated

unless its only deprecated for paper and forks

[terse osprey]

It could be, I’m on mobile so I’m struggling over here lol

[proud pebble]

seems like it is

[proud pebble]

when you set them did you delete and remake the entity in world?

since afaik youd have to do that to update its texture

[hoary scarab]

Here is how I set the PlayerProfile on skullmeta but essentially you do it the same way on EntityHuman

PlayerProfile profile = Bukkit.createPlayerProfile(UUID.randomUUID(), "Minion");
PlayerTextures profileTextures = profile.getTextures();
            
profileTextures.setSkin(textureURL);
skullMeta.setOwnerProfile(profile.update().getNow(profile));
            
skull.setItemMeta(skullMeta);

PlayerProfile.update() returns a completable future so I recommend doing this Async if you just want to use getNow()

[tight junco]

yeah i was about to mention the getNow

[terse osprey]

Thank you, didn’t even know PlayerProfile existed, I’ll look into it more when I get back to my PC

[hoary scarab]

👍

[tight junco]

was about to say, unless you're returning skull couldn't you just do profile.update().thenAccept(setSkin, setowningplayer, setmeta)

i know spigot can be pretty weird so

[hoary scarab]

In my method above I return the skull.

[minor summit]

thing is skull textures need not be signed

whereas player profile skins do

[shell moon]

[minor summit]

idk if the profile api takes care of that

[shell moon]

i've always (since 1.20.2) used setSkin new URL the texture

never signed it

but i'm adding it to an inventory, so maybe that is related

what exactly makes the screen freeze when you open an inventory with many custom skulls?

[minor summit]

the client probably downloading all the textures

that's my guess

[shell moon]

would it worth trying this

skullMeta.setOwnerProfile(profile.update().getNow(profile));

[minor summit]

well no

the client has to download the actual png

[shell moon]

[hoary scarab]

Maybe I'm thinking of "signed" wrong. What do you mean?

[river solstice]

Yeah the lore manipulation is what I want to avoid lol

[terse osprey]

Got it working using just NMS. The issue being I was tired last night and was setting textures to an older instance of the NPC's GameProfile

[dense drift]

How else would you display them?

[river solstice]

well my mistake fsr I thought the lore is applied automatically if the enchantment was registered and applied to the item

[terse osprey]

That is correct, with the older versions of the API registering the enchant would take care of lore for you

My server uses custom enchants heavily (Prison) and when the API removed custom enchant "support" I switched to PDC but the other's suggestions work just as well, as well.

[river solstice]

yeh as people keep saying it was never really a feature to register them

oddly enough

though it makes sense ig

I guess I will have to fiddle around with PDC, been already using it, since some of the plugins we are using in 1.20.2 keep stripping them away when restarting the server, I suppose due to them being registered after those plugins initialize

[wet pier]

how to check block at location is exist with javascript expansion ?

[dense drift]

It never did that, the client doesnt know how to display the enchantments

[terse osprey]

Then I must of been working with witch-craft. Because I was able to do it using the API

[wet pier]

:/ ?

at spectific world ?

[terse osprey]

I might be mistaken, thinking back I might of been messing with lores back then

[dense drift]

yes, you need to get the world somehow and then use that

To get player's world you use BukkitPlayer.getWorld()

[wet pier]

then ?

[dense drift]

.getBlockAt(x, y, z).getType().name().indexOf("AIR") == -1

getType() - the Material
name() - the name of the Material
indexOf("AIR") == -1 - it doesnt contain the word "AIR" (there's AIR, CAVE_AIR and a couple more iirc)

[wet pier]

where can i read doc ?

[dense drift]

If you click on the type returned by getBlockAt, which is Block, you will see all methods it has

Ah, you meant the docs for the js expansion.
Well, there's a few variables injected in each script

BukkitPlayer - org.bukkit.entity.Player - the player for whom the placeholder is parsed
BukkitServer - org.bukkit.Server - the server object
args - String[] - the arguments provided in the placeholder

And there's probably 1 more but I can't remember it

[wet pier]

:/ error

[dense drift]

Yeah because x y z are strings, you need to use parseInt(location[n])

[wet pier]

ah yea

[dense drift]

And so is the world

BukkitServer.getWorld(args[1])

[wet pier]

why it return trueValue ? type = AIR

[hoary scarab]

Cause you are doing && which says if all are true which it never would be.

[wet pier]

👍🏼

[unborn ivy]

hi, currently have issues with a custom inventory updating itself. I have a runnable every tick which runs a method, and the method uses an ItemStack list to fill out slots in that inventory. Whenever items in the List are replaced using set() however, nothing is updated in the inventory, anyone know why?

[hoary scarab]

Is the list in the runnable the same list you created the runnable with or is it the list you are setting?

Also show code so we get a clearer picture. Even minimal code helps.

[unborn ivy]

the list is created in another class

    public List<ItemStack> playerHeads;

    public CrashGame(CrashItPlugin plugin) {
        this.playerHeads = new ArrayList<>();

[dusky harness]

well based on this code, the inventory isn't being updated anywhere

where do you use the playerHeads list?

[unborn ivy]

i use it in a method in another class called renderPlayerBets() in a loop

when testing i had no way to check if the index of the itemstack list is null, so i just decided to ignore it with IndexOutOfBoundsException instead

[dusky harness]

can you show the code?

[unborn ivy]

    private int itemstackArray;

        for (int b = 9; b < guislots; b++) {
            if (!borderInts.contains(b)) {
                if (inventory.getItem(b) != null) {
                    continue;
                }
                if (inventory.getItem(b) == null) {
                    try {
                        ItemStack renderBetItem = bets.get(itemstackArray);
                        inventory.setItem(b, renderBetItem);

                }
            }
        }

this is in a different class

[hoary scarab]

So based on this code, it will only ever set the slot once.

You basically say if slot "b" is not null continue through loop. Is this the current outcome?

Also the second if, checking is null, is useless since you just checked if it's not null.

You can check if "b" is less than the length of the list "bets".
if(bets.size() < b) {}

[proud pebble]

are you updating the original inventory or the one that the player is currently viewing?

[hoary scarab]

He's not updating. Only setting the item once.

MERGE INTO entities (target, testTime) KEY(target) VALUES (test, '?') [42103-220]
```i dont understand whats wrong with it *ping if reply*

[minor summit]

code

[dark garnet]

final PreparedStatement statement = dataManager.connection.prepareStatement("MERGE INTO " + table + " (target, " + column + ") KEY(target) VALUES (" + target + ", '?')");
statement.setString(1, value);
statement.executeUpdate();

[minor summit]

yeah i mean test itself is not a valid value

and also to set a parameterised value you need to leave the ? unquoted, otherwise you're just putting the literal string "?"

[dark garnet]

wdym?

[dense drift]

String values need quotes, and if you want statement.setX() to work, the question mark should not be surrounded by quotes

[river solstice]

is that really always the case

[minor summit]

yes

[dark garnet]

this is what i had before and it didnt work either:

"MERGE INTO `" + table + "` (`target`, `" + column + "`) KEY(`target`) VALUES ('" + target + "', ?)"

[minor summit]

? is basically the placeholder marker

[river solstice]

Im almost sure Ive seen it work even with single quotes

[dense drift]

why do you use string concatenation and placeholders?

[river solstice]

or must be dreaming

[minor summit]

'tis a dream

wake up

[river solstice]

oh maybe it was the other thingamajig

[dark garnet]

the table + column + target arent user inputs so they dont need to be placeholders

[river solstice]

the other symbol on tilde key

backtick? idk

[minor summit]

those are used for like column or table names i think

[river solstice]

could be

idrm tbh

[dark garnet]

yeah thats what im using in my statement above

[dense drift]

I mean on the VALUE

VALUE('" + target + "', ?) should be VALUE(?, ?)

[dark garnet]

but target doesnt need to be a placeholder

ig i could make it one

[dense drift]

Why is that?

where does target come from?

[dark garnet]

entity uuid

[river solstice]

blud stop bluddin

either one or the other (both placeholders or string concat)

not both lol

[minor summit]

there's no harm in doing it the good way

[dark garnet]

alr i made it a placeholder

still getting the same error tho

[dense drift]

I was hopping this would be a good moment to talk ab sql injection, but oh well

[dark garnet]

ik about it

ig it could be a user input cause it might not always be an entity uuid

so ill keep it a placeholder

To play the health regeneration animation, is it player.sendHealthUpdate()?

[dark garnet]

the table + columns exist

im not sure what TARGET is, though

I suppose it shouldn't be case-sensitive, but try TARGET instead of target?

well

pass them as null

[grand island]

do not use enums?

[hoary scarab]

Open for ideas that allow you to match a string to multiple variables.

I would prefer not generating a map of all the items needed.

[grand island]

i mean you can do reflections

[hoary scarab]

Can you give an example? I don't think I'm thinking of the same thing.

[river solstice]

is your intention for the extra methods to not be visible?

[hoary scarab]

Yes. I don't want the methods, variables and constructors to be duplicated in all 12 enums.

[river solstice]

well then I don't really see how you could do it using enums

that's not exactly their purpose

[hoary scarab]

Open for ideas.

[dusky harness]

wdym?

like what would be copied and pasted?

[hoary scarab]

Exactly whats posted is pasted in all 12 enums.

[dusky harness]

can u give like an example? 🤔

[hoary scarab]

That is the example xD

[grand island]

public record StatisticType(String id) {
    
    public static final StatisticType KILLS = new StatisticType("kills");
    private static final Map<String, StatisticType> values;
    
    public static Optional<StatisticType> type(String id) {
        return Optional.ofNullable(values.get(id));
    }
    
    static {
        Map<String, StatisticType> types = new HashMap<>();
        for(Field field : StatisticType.class.getFields()) {
            if(!Modifier.isStatic(field.getModifiers()) || field.getType() != StatisticType.class) continue;
            try {
                StatisticType type = (StatisticType) field.get(null);
                types.put(type.id, type);
            } catch (IllegalAccessException e) {
                throw new RuntimeException(e);
            }
        }
        values = types;
    }
}

[dusky harness]

ohhh wait i see

oh lol

[grand island]

Enums are not suitable for that as they don't support inheritance, generics or anything at all tbh

if you have various types with different paramaters you should rethink design to avoid use of enums. Or you can re-invent them like i did in this example, as it wil support basically any abstraction

[hoary scarab]

Ok so it was what I was thinking lol.
At that point I have to loop through every value in each enum which defeats the purpose.

[grand island]

you do it only once at class init though?

[hoary scarab]

I do but the issue is I already have to write each name individually which is the point of the methods/constructors in the first place. If I do similar to your code above I still have to check the enum, the value and apply a value to the variable based on its name.

Meh. I'm just gonna scrap it. Its still to close to writing down all material names anyways.

[dense galleon]

Anyone? it looks like when using that method a damage animation is played too

[minor summit]

where it does a little wave effect?

[dense galleon]

Yeah the camera just tilts a bit

And the player glows in red

[minor summit]

ah well that's a different effect tho

[dense galleon]

Yeah it might be something else that I messed up

[minor summit]

regeneration basically jumps each heart individually one per tick

but, for that the player has to have regeneration, or, well, the client has to be told it has regeneration

[dense galleon]

Yeah i got it thank you

Is there not a method to kill the player? Do I just have to set their health to 0?

[minor summit]

pretty sure that's what you do to "actually" kill them yeah

[dense galleon]

Another question haha

How can I change the state of a campfire to be turned off or turned on?

[river solstice]

Do you have a different Enum class for each material?

[dense galleon]

I am so confused on how you check that what the

[river solstice]

BlockState?

[dense galleon]

There isn't any method in the Campfire blockstate relating to that

Or whether it is a signal fire or not too

Is there no API for that?

I see that RedstoneWallTorch has a setLit() method

[minor summit]

Campfire extends Lightable or smth

it has setLit as well

[dense galleon]

It doesn't seem to

[river solstice]

Cast block data to campfire

Campfire campfire = (Campfire) block.getBlockData();
campfire.setLit(false)

[dense galleon]

I swear

There is no setLit() method

https://paste.helpch.at/uboyopuwec.java This is the whole class I am seeing

Yeah even if I try casting to Lightable, it gives an error saying it cannot be cast

[minor summit]

no no there is another Campfire interface

org.bukkit.block.data.type or something

[dense galleon]

AH

My bad haha

[dense galleon]

if I get a block's state through clickedBlock.getState(), do I need to setState() or similar once I have changed it?

[dusky harness]

BlockState#update should work

[dense galleon]

Nothing seems to happen :/

so if I do campfireState.setItem(1, item) campfire.update(), that should work?

[dusky harness]

yeah, try update(true)

[hoary scarab]

Not each material but like sub material. Log, wood, stone, door, fence etc...

thank you for your help sorry i was in the wrong channel

all good

the naming is sometimes a bit confusing ngl

when the block and the state/data has the same class name

[light pendant]

does anyone know how I can disable only a specific check in the gradle ktlint plugin (org.jlleitschuh.gradle.ktlint)?
(I want to disable the package and class name check for my NMS modules)

[pulsar ferry]

You used to be able to do something like this using spotless for ktlint

ktlint("0.46.1").editorConfigOverride(
    mapOf("disabled_rules" to "filename"),
)

But it has updated recently and I don't know how it's done now, but the best way to deal with it is using it with spotless

[light pendant]

sorry but what is spotless? 😄

[pulsar ferry]

https://github.com/diffplug/spotless

[light pendant]

ah thx

[light pendant]

I'm stupid, it was possible to just create an .editorconfig on the root project and disable the rules there

[pulsar ferry]

Oh yeah I forgot about that lmao

not #development question

but try #1202497508203561020 or #1202497504655188028

dont expect anything though

[mental haven]

okay so im not the best with gradle and i'd like to ask so i have NMS modules for plugin and i run the paper dev thingy in them to remmap the jar, and if i add that module into main plugin module its not remapped? am i doing something wrong or is this not possible?

[dusky harness]

you can add the module using ```kt
project(":paperweight-module:", "reobf")

i think

in your base build.gradle(.kts)

[mental haven]

okay i'll give it a try

[dusky harness]

you should also have like an interface/compatibility module as well instead of using the nms modules directly (and access via reflection afaik)

[mental haven]

yeah but like NMS has to remap the thingies cuz i didnt want to use full reflection and do java magic

[dusky harness]

ye but I mean like you shouldn't have this in your plugin module build.gradle(.kts)

[mental haven]

oh

[dusky harness]

actually

nevermind

[mental haven]

oke XD

i mean i do have interface that is then used by every version of NMS

[dusky harness]

yeah
ignore what i said :)))

[dusky harness]

i think adding the reobf here should work

[mental haven]

yup it works, thanks!

but the table does exist whats going on 😭

[dusty frost]

A common cause is that the names are written in different case.

make sure all the cases are right

[dark garnet]

they are, the screenshot i posted is the actual database

entities is lower-case, which is how i type it in the cmd

[dusty frost]

i mean at what point do you just use SQLite lmao

[dark garnet]

im planning on supporting sqlite too

h2 is just the first one im testing 🙃

[dusty frost]

well try getting it working on SQLite and it'll probably give you better error messages

[dark garnet]

it was working with postgresql when i was doing my preliminary tests but ye ill try sqlite

[dusty frost]

hmm then yeah might be an H2 thing

maybe it doesn't support whatever is going on there

[dark garnet]

sqlite fails with something else;

weird, it worked when creating table

no idea either

[sterile hinge]

the equalsIgnoreCase doesn't make sense this way

[wet pier]

what the code must to be ?

[sterile hinge]

depends on what you want it to do, but if any of the equalsIgnoreCase calls is true, there can't be a _ in the string

[wet pier]

now i just to make it return something

[worn jasper]

you need to check if it starts with position lol

not if its equals to position

your code would only "work" for %homeprogress_position%

so you either check if args[0] is position

or if params starts with position

one of the two

[wet pier]

i need input something

[worn jasper]

what?

I already told you the answer....

want me to give the code or what

lol

[wet pier]

but im not get it :/

[worn jasper]

no idea how else I would explain it, maybe someone else can

[wet pier]

so i need to check it startwith

[worn jasper]

otherwise, there is an issue with basic java here

if you want to use params

yes

since you already splited the params

you can also check if args[0] is position

[wet pier]

wait, param is position_10 ?

yes

Does anyone knows about the new papermc nbt exploit ?

I do

my plugin patches it

What kind of exploit is this ?

[mellow pond]

A crash exploit

[mellow pond]

it's also patched on recent versions of paper 1.20.4

[digital temple]

Yep I know. But how was the exploit working ? 🤔

[mellow pond]

can't share much but it has to do with tab complete suggestions

[digital temple]

I thought it was something about nbt data

[sterile hinge]

why do you need to know how it works?

[digital temple]

because I'm interested in what something like that looks like and how we can prevent something like that, also in the future, if this happened again

[sterile hinge]

staying up to date is how you can prevent it

[digital temple]

Yeah with the paper jar 😂

[hoary scarab]

If a "patch" is already out for it I don't see why you can't just answer his question.

@digital temple I would read through the patch code to see how to replicate as I don't know myself.

[mellow pond]

because its only for 1.20.4 paper (forks)

[hoary scarab]

They don't support earlier versions anyways.

[mellow pond]

many many servers arent on 1.20.4 yet

[mellow pond]

sure, not my problem tho, i'd rather not let someone have the exploit even if easily findable

[worn jasper]

in general, an exploit should only be shared one major version after I would say

so when 1.21 comes out.

[mellow pond]

ngl, a "big" free public client does have a opensource crash using it

[worn jasper]

if people stay in 1.20 then that is surely their fault

[mellow pond]

sure, still dont want to be the one who got them crashed on

[worn jasper]

but 1.20.3 to 1.20.4 is not that realistic

[mellow pond]

especially since i make plugins that patch it on older versions

[worn jasper]

since several builds get released every month

and keeping it updated is a hassle

I don't personally care about older versions

for me only latest and previous major versions should be supported

so rn, 1.20 and 1.19

anything before that, idc

they can have exploits, they can be on fire, idc

their fault for using outdated systems.

[hoary scarab]

Check your IDE, eclipse has converters.

I'm on IntelliJ, I'll see what I can find

gradle init

although it's not the best

[dense galleon]

What is the common consensus on the maven vs gradle debate?

I find maven easier to use/understand

[worn jasper]

Hell no

I am totally the opposite

and imo it is the opposite

gradle is faster and imo more understandable

fuck xml files lol

(fuck groovy too though, kotlin dsl)

[dense galleon]

I mean is there more 'objective' reasons

like maven being too slow or something

But if not, you can just create a scheduler for a task to run on the main thread

[tender fossil]

I know, but why it just can't after 1.20.4, it works fine before.

[dusky harness]

wait isn't 1.20.4 latest?

[tender fossil]

yes

yeah so it's on 1.20.4

[dusky harness]

ohh ok

idk that's odd, if it works before 1.20.4

🤔

[tender fossil]

yes, so i'm wondering.

[dusty frost]

Listen bro, we’ve been trying to update from 1.20.1 to 1.20.4, but ProtocolLib doesn’t have a stable release, and the whole MMOItems/MythicLib/MMOCore squad just barely released a dev build supporting it a week ago 😫

[river solstice]

💀

[worn jasper]

that's what happens when the whole mc community relies in a single plugin... I really hope one day we have more alternatives to protocollib... packetevents is going there but apparently its dev is a immature and it has some bugs.

[worn jasper]

probably better chances asking in the spigot/paper discord

(although who uses spigot api nowadays)

[proud pebble]

viaversion wont have a non dev build for 1.20 till 1.21 comes out

How to turn rebalanced villager trades if the world was created without this feature? Ive changed trade_rebalance option in level.dat by using nbt editor. but the server said Pack trade_rebalance requires features minecraft:trade_rebalance that are not enabled for this world, disabling pack. Purpur 1.20.4

I also cant turn it on with /datapack enable trade_rebalance Pack 'trade_rebalance' cannot be enabled, since required flags are not enabled in this world: minecraft:trade_rebalance!

I keep getting a expected <document start>, but found <block mapping start> error when trying to load this:

db:
  host: 127.0.0.1
  port: <port>
  db_name: <db_name>
  user: <user>
  password: <password>
auto_save_interval: 6000
debug_level: 2

What's actually wrong with my yml file?

[glass terrace]

u need > in the password

i guess

it caught my eye

password: <password>

[dense galleon]

No

[glass terrace]

u forgot >

[dense galleon]

I mean

[glass terrace]

why no

oh ok

[dense galleon]

I replaced the password with that

I replaced most of the info on there with <> as I don't want to share it with everyone haha

[sterile hinge]

how are you trying to load it?

[glass terrace]

ohhh

[dense galleon]

It's just my config.yml

[sterile hinge]

is there any more information in the exception?

[dense galleon]

https://paste.helpch.at/cogaqucika.php This is the whole exceptiojn

[neat pier]

Possible Solution Found:

There seems to be some invalid syntax in your config! You can paste it into https://yaml.helpch.at/ in order to find out where your issue is!

Barry's solution finder is still in BETA and will make mistakes.

[dense galleon]

I tried that already

[sterile hinge]

is your password properly escaped?

[dense galleon]

What do you mean with that?

[dusky harness]

is your password in ""?

i think quotes also escape special chars but im not sure

[dense galleon]

No, is it meant to be

[sterile hinge]

there might be special characters in it that have some meaning in yaml

[dense galleon]

@

I mean can I wrap text in "" in yaml anyway? Just for clarity sake

[dusky harness]

remove the characters until theres no more error ig

[dusky harness]

yea

[dense galleon]

I mean, the password to my database has that symbol though 🥲

[dusky harness]

I don't think @ is a special symbol in yaml

[broken elbow]

You can escape characters in YAML if they're special

[dense galleon]

It's always pointing at my auto_save_interval part

I tried wrapping the password in "" and the issue persists

[dusky harness]

did you try this

or putting password: ""

[broken elbow]

yaml parsers tend to show errors ahead of where the actual error is

[sterile hinge]

you can also use '' instead

[broken elbow]

I would suggest you use an online yaml parser with the entirety of its contents

the one I find best is yamlchecker.com

oh. you have passwords in it

idk how trustworthy that website is

maybe you can find an os library with positive reviews to use locally

[broken elbow]

You can also try this if you have dobule quotes in your passwords

Also, always remember, TABs are not supported in YAML

[dense galleon]

Huh uhh

I update my config.yml, but it does not seem to really update

It still thinks that it is auto_save_interval: 6000, though when I look at the file it is auto_save_interval: 4000

[broken elbow]

I know, I know... but have you tried turning it off and on again?

[dense galleon]

yeah, several times

Yeah no matter what I write in my config.yml, it keeps finding the old one?

I deleted the jar and put it back in there again and it started working

What could have gone wrong

[broken elbow]

Many things, none that I am aware of :))

[dense galleon]

Is triumph cmd a continuation of matt's framework?

[broken elbow]

yes

a rewrite*

[dense galleon]

is there a guide on tab completions for Triumph, like there was for matts framework?

[dense drift]

Or simply use a text editor

[dusky harness]

isn't triumph cmd part of matt's framework?

ah

hmm if the current docs are outdated, then he also has a discord server

[broken elbow]

I think you just had the old link to the documentation. new one: https://triumphteam.dev/

[dusky harness]

oooh right

i forgot that existed

[pulsar ferry]

Even that one is outdated

I want to load data from a database only once the server is done starting up and all plugins have loaded, as the plugin's GET query will get updated by other plugins which depend on it, how would I go about that?

[torpid raft]

maybe WorldInitEvent or WorldLoadEvent? (i think these may fire multiple times so you should account for that if thats what you end up using)

[dense galleon]

ServerLoadEvent?

Though is it guaranteed to fire when the server has finished loading

(And not when some plugins may still be disabled)

[torpid raft]

yeah I think ServerLoadEvent fires earlier which might give you trouble, idk the exact order of operations so thats maybe something you want to play around with and figure out

[dense galleon]

It looks like it gets called after the plugins are loaded

So it might work

[dense galleon]

I am lowkey losing my mind here trying to figure out how to do the following:
I have a plugin which works as a "core" of my other plugins. This plugin works as an API for those with plenty of utility methods, as well as being what hooks into my server's database and what saves/loads player data to and from it.

This core plugin, has a class called PlayerData which has four simple variables which stores the information found on the database upon a player's join, and then saves it into the database once they quit.

However, as my other plugins will also need to add their own data to the database, I am trying to create some form of generic data container in my PlayerData class.
My original idea was to make a Map<String, Object> and simply add the values to that, however it could easily break when saving and loading to the database.

After realizing that, I had a thought: Can I somehow create a system where in order for my plugins to add data to the Map<String, Object>, they first gotta call some form of register() method which would:

1. Add a default key-value pair to the map for the data type to be stored
2. Modify the queries used by the load() and save() methods of my database implementation, and those used to create the tables.

And lastly, to actually set this data inside of the PlayerData class, they would have to call a method like updateAdditionalData(String key, Object value), which would check if the key is present in the map before adding it (And if that fails, an exception is thrown).

I KNOW This is a wall of text I'm sorry, I just have been trying to figure out how to make this work for hours but I can't

[merry knoll]

you dont really want to keep changing the table contents, use a seperate table for each plugin

and refer to the main row id's

[dense galleon]

Why not?

I thought that this way of doing it would be the most efficient with the least amount of code repetition

[turbid jewel]

Within my AsyncChatEvent, in 1.20.1 this worked fine:

gsonComponentSerializer.serialize(originalMessage

But now in 1.20.4, it doesn't serialize into json at all. It just returns the raw message -> "test"

Any clue?

[merry knoll]

look into primary and foreign keys in sql

[dense galleon]

Yeah but that way I will need to write load and save logic in each of my plugins

[merry knoll]

as for code repetition, what you want is a basic orm

[dense galleon]

The reason for this was to keep all of the saving/loading in one plugin

[torpid raft]

arent you planning on doing this anyways? from what you sent

[dense galleon]

And also the PlayerData class would store all the data for all plugins as well

[dense galleon]

I would only need to do playerData.updateData(Key, value) though

Instead of writing sql queries etc.

[merry knoll]

modular works way better imho, all you are doing with the fat core is spagettifying when you dont need to

[merry knoll]

orm is your solution, hibernate might work fine if you dont care about jar sizes

you wont write queries, you just make the data classes and let the orm take care of the rest

[dense galleon]

I have no clue what orm is

I'm reading on it but I don't really know what to do with it

[torpid raft]

lets you avoid writing SQL queries

for basic stuff

[merry knoll]

ORM = object relational mapping

[dense galleon]

Idk I was really hoping that what I had in mind would work since it seemed like the least amount of code repetition and the highest level of compartmentalization I could achieve

Even if it wasn't efficient it would still be cool if I could somehow let my core plugin do ALL the database and data stuff while the others take care of other stuff

[merry knoll]

so your data class turns into a sql table automatically, you lose fine control over the sql queries for less repetition

what i would do in your case would be to have a sql module

that provides connections (just use hikari honestly)

and depend on that with your other plugins
