development

[dark garnet]

well im a new developer getting started with sql lmao

[icy grail]

Yeah don't use this

Find something better

This appears to be hot garbage

[dark garnet]

o alr

[icy grail]

Like it's a library that's also a plugin

Sure, that's fine

But it can only support one connection?

What is this

What happens if you have multiple plugins trying to use it?

It boasts "used by spartan anticheat" but it's made by the same guy lol

And spartan is also hot garbage

[dark garnet]

wait are connections per-database?

i needa learn more about mysql lmao

have any recommended resources where i can?

[icy grail]

Connections aren't exactly per-database

One connection may interact with multiple databases, though that is rare

A connection is just something that lets you interact with a sql server

You may have multiple per plugin

Or you may have only one

[trail burrow]

for some reason age on beetroots is 3 not 7 like carrots, wheat and potatoes

[dense drift]

Im pretty sure there's a method to get the max age

Or to check if it is an adult

[dusty frost]

HikariCP 🤤

[trail burrow]

isAdult(); is for Entity not crop blocks

[pulsar ferry]

For crops you need to cast the meta to Ageable

[trail burrow]

done that but to check you need to check age and some are fully grown at 7 or 3

[lyric gyro]

^ that's why you need to check that

Is it possible to stop a server from the bungeecord? (in a plugin)

[broken elbow]

d;bungee ProxyServer#stop

[uneven lantern]

net.md_5.bungee.api.ProxyServer#stop

public abstract void stop()```

Description:

Gracefully mark this instance for shutdown.

Requested by: BlitzOffline • bungee

[broken elbow]

[lyric gyro]

Uh

Blitz that will stop the proxy

[broken elbow]

ah he meant spigot server

right

[lyric gyro]

lol

[trail burrow]

mot sure why this happened https://paste.helpch.at/igoqitigaw.sql

[broken elbow]

I guess best way to do it then would be plugin messaging?

[broken elbow]

pretty sure timings are no more.

you have to host your own instance

[hoary scarab]

If you use PluginMessaging like blitz said or you can use subservers and run the /sub stop <server> command.

[broken elbow]

what is subservers?

[hoary scarab]

https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/subservers-2.11264/

ah. a plugin

yeah found it

I have both of these in my POM.xml, it isnt finding the LuckPerms API for whatever reason

Any idea? The LP API Wiki says repo is in Maven Central and to use that exact snipet for the dependency

[lyric gyro]

You don't need to add the central repo, maven already does that

And what do you mean by "it isn't finding it"? Do you have a log error somewhere during build or something?

[junior shard]

sec

@lyric gyro

[lyric gyro]

Did you hit the reload button in IJ?

[junior shard]

Yes

Maybe if I just save and re-open the project?

idk sometimes that shit works

[lyric gyro]

You should be getting an error log somewhere if you're hitting the reload button but try restarting IJ I suppose

[junior shard]

Now the error is gone

Java confuses me sometimes.

[lyric gyro]

It's IJ's doings

[junior shard]

well, yeah

still better than eclipse

[dark garnet]

how can i get boolean for if a value exists in a sql table

[pulsar ferry]

Select count of the table you want where the value is the one you want, if 0 it doesn't exist

[lyric gyro]

@EventHandler
public void onBreak(BlockBreakEvent e) {
  Block block = e.getBlock();
  if(block.getType() == Material.TNT) {
    e.setCancelled(true);
    block.setType(Material.AIR);
    
    Player player = e.getPlayer();
    PlayerInventory playerInventory = player.getInventory();
    playerInventory.addItems(new ItemStack(Material.TNT, 1));
  }
}

I want it to come when I break any block

but i don't want it to give tnt

[dark garnet]

want what to come? and wdyem by "come"

[dark garnet]

if it doesnt exist it'll return 0 instead of the usual null, correct?

[pulsar ferry]

If you do count yes

[lyric gyro]

I don't understand, can you send the code sample please

this is my code can you write how to do it?

[dark garnet]

bruh what... lmao

here's "my" code, can u tell me how it works

[pulsar ferry]

If you do SELECT name FROM table WHERE value = ? and the value isn't there then the resultset will be empty
If you do SELECT COUNT(name) FROM table WHERE VALUE = ? and the value isn't there then the resultset will have a 0 in it

[lyric gyro]

can you edit my code?

[junior shard]

@lyric gyro nobody even knows what you’re asking for help on

What do you want to happen when you break any block

[lyric gyro]

my problem is that when i break a block it should come to my inventory automatically

I want tnt not to come

In the code I wrote, when I break the block, tnt comes to my inventory.

[lyric gyro]

.

[junior shard]

But it’s only happening when you break a tnt block

[lyric gyro]

no database connection

[pulsar ferry]

What?

That wasn't replying to you

[lyric gyro]

When I break any block, I want it to come directly to my inventory so I want a code sample that works

[fiery pollen]

public void onBreak(BlockBreakEvent e) {
  Block block = e.getBlock();
  if(block.getType() == Material.TNT) {
    e.setCancelled(true);
    block.setType(Material.AIR);
    
    Player player = e.getPlayer();
    player.getInventory().addItem(new ItemStack(Material.TNT, 1));
  }
}```

[dark garnet]

translation: i want someone to spoonfeed me code

[junior shard]

[dark garnet]

what does the ? mean?

[fiery pollen]

@lyric gyro

[lyric gyro]

should i try this

[junior shard]

Mhm

[pulsar ferry]

The value of you're checking the database for

[lyric gyro]

i don't want it to give tnt so when i break any block i want it to come to my inventory

[dark garnet]

what would empty look like? is that null or something else (like if it was in an if statement)

[dark garnet]

people arent gonna code ur plugin for u

[lyric gyro]

i don't want it to code my plugin i'm learning java so i need help

[junior shard]

He wants to get the block material on block break and place it in the players inventory

Essentially

[lyric gyro]

No one is stingy like you

[dark garnet]

... what

[junior shard]

Chill…

[fiery pollen]

Thats litterly what that code is supposed to do?

[pulsar ferry]

ResultSet#next will return false

[lyric gyro]

yes, but when you break a block, it should come to your inventory automatically, it already comes to my inventory, but I don't want it as tnt, I want it for all blocks

[fiery pollen]

Okay, so try coding that

you can get the type, store it and then use it to give it to a player

[lyric gyro]

but i don't know how to do it so i need help

[junior shard]

You obviously have it set up right now to give tnt on the break of tnt

So when a player breaks tnt, they get tnt

[lyric gyro]

can you help me how to do with this code

[junior shard]

But if they break other blocks it won’t do that

[dark garnet]

1. cancel event
2. set block to air
3. get broken block material
4. add material to player's inventory as an itemstack
   i think thats right

[fiery pollen]

This is basic java-knowledge

[lyric gyro]

i need code sample i can't code so i asked for help

[dark garnet]

i can't code

@lyric gyro i suggest you take a look at this

[junior shard]

just get the block and material onBreak and save as variables

then in your if statement change the tnt to your material variable and same for the itemstack

Obviously if you only check if they break tnt, give them tnt, you will have to replicate that code for every single block in the game

[lyric gyro]

how will the code layout be i can't do it

why does no one want to help i am turkish i don't understand english very much

[junior shard]

Literally IntelliJ or eclipse will do all that for you just hit enter

Read the Java docs for onBreak event

I really don't understand thanks

[lyric gyro]

I don't know how to edit the code

You already cancelled the event using e.setCancelled(true);

[junior shard]

You already set to air and added a material to the players inv as itemstack too

You just have to get the broken blocks material

[fiery pollen]

Get the material of the block

[lyric gyro]

yes but when i break any block i want it to come to my inventory i don't want tnt just

[fiery pollen]

You already have the block, now get the type

[junior shard]

Yes that’s what we’re saying

[lyric gyro]

you can write the code

[junior shard]

Instead of tnt, you use the variable that contains your block’s material

[fiery pollen]

yes we can, but what would you learn of it?

[lyric gyro]

ooohh

😦

thx

[junior shard]

In your code the material is not “block”

That’s the block object

You need the material

So use that

And get the type

I want to store a date (year, month...seconds) in a cfg file, then read it again later. What is the best way to do this? I've tried ZonedDateTime and Calendar but have not gotten it to work. Is this a good approach or is there something better?

[past ibex]

I prefer storing System.currentTimeMillis

that's your epoch time

humans don't like reading epoch time though, 1647134642 being the current epoch time is quite meaningless to us

but computers can easily convert epoch back to a date

[queen plank]

Is it capable of storing years though? Idk how many millis in a year but I assume a lot lol

[past ibex]

9,223,372,036,854,775,807 is long max value

[lyric gyro]

that's definitely long :^)

292,471,208 years

[robust flower]

I'm creating an user script (JS) to slightly modify a page's behavior. There are some buttons on the page that I wanted to set their href to the actual link, but currently they have no link, instead what they have is a Laravel backend function that is called through wire:click HTML tag. This is an example of a button that is present in the page.

<button class="btn btn-primary btn-control btn-md mr-1" wire:click="generateDownload('free_fhd')">Get FHD File</button>```
So my plan was to, for each button on the page:

- Get these buttons through CSS Selector and call `click()` on them, one by one.
- Somehow listen to redirect, grab the generated link (of `window.location.href` or something), and cancel the redirect.
- Remove all click listeners for that button.
- Set that grabbed link on the buttons as their `href`.

I would like to know if that is possible.

Matt u there? I want to add an event to method parameter for asGuiItem() in your GUI API, but not sure how

    public void addItem(Gui gui, ItemStack item, int slot, GuiAction<InventoryClickEvent> action) {
        GuiItem guiItem = ItemBuilder.from(item).asGuiItem(action);

        gui.setItem(slot, guiItem);
    }

would it just be that?

If so, how would the addItem method I created, be used?

[tight junco]

probably

addItem(gui, new ItemStack(Material.STONE), 0,  event -> {
  // func
});

[dusky harness]

well that seems like it can just be a static util method

since it doesn't use any variables/method besides the parameters

[atomic trail]

True, ty

[atomic trail]

Ah yeah, thanks

[dusky harness]

or you could pr ```java
public void addItem(Gui gui, int slot, GuiAction<InventoryClickEvent> action) {
GuiItem guiItem = ItemBuilder.from(build()).asGuiItem(action);
gui.setItem(slot, guiItem);
}

// ItemBuilder.java

[atomic trail]

What's build()?

[dusky harness]

converts ItemBuilder -> ItemStack

[atomic trail]

Ah, but the method should work with different kinds of items though, that will be specified

just suggested that since u mentioned asGuiItem

you shouldn't build such dynamic sql queries normally. Writing the exact queries you need is recommended, otherwise you're running in a lot of issues with sql injections and stuff

So i am working with a @Getter & @Setter in my code but i can't build my plugin, it will just give this error (see screenshot below).

I have this in my main: private static @Getter @Setter HashMap<UUID, Integer> kills = new HashMap<>(); and i have this in a other class: int currentKills = KitPVP.getKills().get(p.getUniqueId());

[neon wren]

Could I see your shadowJar configuration/ as that means it cannot find the method/variable, or misspelling.

@formal crane If you haven't solved it yet.

[formal crane]

it also doesnt work without shadowjar

[neon wren]

I presume you are being dependent on another project that has getKills() and the other methods? I can't exactly help without more information.

As you didn't provide any classes, except a screenshot regarding the error.

My presumption was that based on KitPvP [shadowJar]: failed and compileJava there is misconfiguration in your build configuration.

[formal crane]

The hashmap is in my main and i am trying to acces (read & write to it) the hashmap from a other class called PlayerData

[pulsar ferry]

Looks to be a lombok issue

[neon wren]

Forgot about this, and Matt seems to be on the spot about the issue. As I suggested, if you could link your build configuration (the build.gradle, or pom.xml) It would be helpful as you are using Lombok, meaning you aren't including the dependency into your shadowJar.

[pulsar ferry]

Possible issues: lombok not configured in the build tools correct, missing the lombok IDE plugin, just lombok being lombok
My main recommendation is to not use it, but if you want to, make sure it's sertup correctly

If you're using legacy format you need to use the LegacyComponentSerializer, but I recommend you use Minimessage instead of legacy

                                    case 2 -> b.setType(Material.DIORITE,false);
                                }
                            }
                        }
                    });
                }
                counter++;

[sterile hinge]

first of all, reuse a Random instance

and if you only have two cases, use nextBoolean and a simple if else

[proud pebble]

wouldnt reusing the same random instance make the blocks just stone or just diorite?

i wanted to have random mines that have random blocks.

well a random spread of blocks

[dense drift]

He meant to create a single Random object.

[proud pebble]

i just realized that

[dense drift]

Also, what about worldedit?

[hoary scarab]

https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/methods-for-changing-massive-amount-of-blocks-up-to-14m-blocks-s.395868/

Also, Random.nextInt(int) can return 0. So check for that 😉

[proud pebble]

its why i have the +1

so it cant return 0

[proud pebble]

i wasnt sure that worldedit would be more efficient then this method

[hoary scarab]

But then it can return 3...

[dense drift]

Why does it matter if the result is 0

Could as well use nextBoolean

[proud pebble]

according to intellij it cant and its not a massive deal if a few blocks are air or not

[hoary scarab]

Since he doesn't check for it no block would be set.

[dense drift]

the upper bound is exclusive

d;jdk random#nextint(int)

[uneven lantern]

java.util.random.RandomGenerator#nextInt

default int nextInt(int bound)
throws IllegalArgumentException```

Description:

Returns a pseudorandomly chosen int value between zero (inclusive) and the specified bound (exclusive).

Parameters:

bound - the upper bound (exclusive) for the returned value. Must be positive.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if bound is not positive

Returns:

a pseudorandomly chosen int value between zero (inclusive) and the bound (exclusive)

Page 0 • Requested by: GabyTM | RO • jdk

[dense drift]

With that +1 the result will be 1 or 2

[proud pebble]

my current method seems to have reduced lag from 80% tps loss to 20 then down to 4-5% tps loss on reset.

and resets would probably not be so often in 1 second.

ill have a look at the first or second nms methods

i want to implement graduel resets so that lag doesnt hit so hard

[errant pawn]

With the ChatEvent event in Bungeecord, is there a way to get the player who sent the chat message?

[neon wren]

Yes, here is what you should do:

@EventHandler
public void onChat(ChatEvent e) {
  if (e.isCommand()) return;
  if (!(e.getSender() instanceof ProxidedPlayer)) return;

  ProxiedPlayer player = ((ProxiedPlayer) e.getSender());
}

[errant pawn]

Thank you! For some reason I just didn't see it in the documentation :)

#general-plugins

[proud pebble]

i had the idea to schedule a task to run after every 3 y levels have been reset, so it would be setting 30k blocks every tick, not sure if it would actually be better or not.

but not sure how to actually get it to run

and i crashed my test server

what a suprise

[sterile hinge]

you can also measure the time spent placing blocks and only do like 40ms per tick or something like that

[neon wren]

Possibly use FAWE? or decrease the amount of blocks at a period of time.

[proud pebble]

i tried that and ended up crashing the server

[neon wren]

I usually broke placements up to make it easier for the system.

[proud pebble]

decreasing the amount per tick

[neon wren]

Well how many blocks are you trying to place per tick

[proud pebble]

101x101x50

so around 510k

[neon wren]

As there is 20 ticks/second

[proud pebble]

i tried to decrease it to do around 30k in a tick

[neon wren]

With or without FAWE.

[proud pebble]

which was around 3 y levels of blocks

i dont touch fawe anymore

[neon wren]

Decrease the amount of blocks.

[proud pebble]

i tried and crashed the server doing it

[neon wren]

I assume this is for a prison mine?

[proud pebble]

yep

i also looked at what other plugins did, they are all doing the same thing as i was originally doing

[neon wren]

Let me see if I can find my old code for a old project that could do 500k/4s in a prison mine plugin I made.

[proud pebble]

im currently trying to implement an nms method of doing it

that i found on the spigot forums

this https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/how-to-set-blocks-incredibly-fast.476097/

[neon wren]

Be careful as you'll need to update the light for the individual blocks, or update it on the server end first and then update it for the clients.

[proud pebble]

im not updating the light levels

dont really need to

or atleast im not doing that rn

[neon wren]

What version of Minecraft.

[proud pebble]

1.17.1

thats what the version of the server im working for is using

EntityPlayer apparently had a chunkX and ChunkY value somewhere yet i cant find any reference to it

and trying to figure out what the obfuscated variable names mean is something else

[neon wren]

https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/methods-for-changing-massive-amount-of-blocks-up-to-14m-blocks-s.395868/

[proud pebble]

thjats what im trying to do

number 2

i dont touch nms unless i have to

[neon wren]

You'll still have to update the light levels at some point, otherwise players need to relog if you use NMS.

[proud pebble]

i sorta just assumed that i wouldnt have to touch light levels rn atleast

[neon wren]

Well if you read the second method they specify it is best for stuff such as minigame regeneration, where you would usually expect it in a server that may restart in my opinion.

As it says Does not send updated blocks to player (requires a relog)

So you are currently just trying to get the method to work I assume and don't care about the light levels until you get the placement towork itself @proud pebble?

[proud pebble]

basically

i just needed something faster then block.setType(Material);

something that wouldnt break the server

[neon wren]

Well it won't break the server if you don't place that many blocks that quickly.

That's why plugins on the forums have stuff such as "timed" where it takes a period of time before it places blocks.

[proud pebble]

and im completely out of my depth when it comes to nms 😅

[neon wren]

So how many blocks are you trying to place per tick again? out of the 101x101 (height 50) mine I presume it is measured for?

[proud pebble]

i was going to place atleast the first layer, so atleast 10k in a tick

[neon wren]

Reduce man that's too quick.

[proud pebble]

so then it doesnt look weird when updating

[neon wren]

That means you want to place 200k blocks/second.

Which is over 3x even what the thread mentions as there is 20 ticks/second.

[proud pebble]

ive seen other servers do it that fast

[neon wren]

I'd expect them to implement NMS or a system to help reduce the amount of TPS drop.

[proud pebble]

then again they have many devs and devs that probably know their way around nms

[neon wren]

If you want it to look somewhat nice, then do it from the top to bottom layer if you are using strictly setType.

[proud pebble]

im guessing thats probably why not many private mine plugins exist publicly

[neon wren]

?

[proud pebble]

because of the restrictions of how many blocks/second can be updated with just settype and setblock

without going into nms

i had considered setting blocks in chunks rather then setting them all at once

[spiral prairie]

why dont you just use nms?

[past ibex]

FAWE has an API

just use their API, no point of writing new code

[spiral prairie]

yea

that too, but i thought they wanted dependency free because it was suggested a long time ago

[small arrow]

what would be the best way to store a Player, a String, and an integer, and be able to increase or decrease the value of the integer?

[kind granite]

depends on the context

[winged pebble]

My first instinct is Map<Player, PlayerData> (handle Player properly)

public class PlayerData {
  String something;
  int somethingElse;

  // .. getters/setters/etc
}

[proud pebble]

i dont want to touch fawe, its buggy from my experience.

and thats what im doing, using nms

[pure crater]

dont recommend anyone to use FAWE please 💀

use WorldEdit instead

[proud pebble]

id somehow use AWE if it has an api

[pure crater]

nah AWE isn't good either

[proud pebble]

huh, resetting the 101x101x50 mine doesnt lag.

well it doesnt lower tps

it didnt lower it before either

maybe i can edit that many blocks a second

[graceful hedge]

FastAsyncWorldEdit Skript tho /s

[west socket]

Anyone know if it’s possible to assign ItemMeta to a Material.AIR ItemStack using packets?

I’m trying to utilize the Item Name line that appears underneath the Action Bar by using the EntityEquipment packet to send fake item renames

The issue though is I want it to work when the player is not holding an item

[pulsar ferry]

You can't

Air can't have anything at all

[west socket]

Interesting

I wonder if there’s another way to do this

Actually it might work

If I just send the packet with a normal ItemStack

Because the physical item should never actually appear in the hotbar

Hopefully it’s able to fool whatever controls the text under the action bar though

[shell moon]

please don't give alexis ideas

[winged pebble]

Is that not just client-sided?

[shell moon]

question is, why? lol

cant you simply use action bar?

there must be a really good reason to use something no one else in the world would use

[west socket]

I believe it is, but I think it can be manipulated by making the client believe that it is holding something

[west socket]

I’m trying to have more space for text

My plugin already uses a lot of chat messages and uses the action bar a lot for other things

And I don’t really have the time to code my own bossbar API, even though it doesn’t seem that hard

It wouldn’t really be appropriate for the data I’m trying to display

[shell moon]

unless you are in 1.8, you dont

1.13 has method to create boss bar

anyways

[west socket]

Yup, 1.8 lol

[shell moon]

if your plugin requires so much text

something is wrong

[west socket]

Well it’s skywars

The chat is used for a lot of kill messages/perk proc messages

Action bar is used for damage indicator

I’m implementing a gold system

[shell moon]

skywars = text
hit indicator = action bar

that's it

no more text fields are required

honestly, no more

[west socket]

I’m adding a system where players get gold from chests that they can use during the match

And I need a good way to display that

You need to be able to easily see how much you have left while attacking

Which is why bossbar/scoreboard wouldn’t work

[shell moon]

action bar

gg

[west socket]

I guess I could append it to the end of the damage indicator

Would look a little unclean though

[shell moon]

thats what

normal people do

dont get me wrong but

overcomplicating simple stuff

is bad

[west socket]

I mean code wise it may be over complicating

But not with the final product if it ends up working

I wonder if that would looks aids with a subtitle

[shell moon]

indeed

it will

thats why normal people use action bar

for everything

or even scoreboard

adding a (+5 gold)

as ThePit used to do

i think

i dont remember

[west socket]

Haha that’s funny

My entire server is a pit parody

The pit used chat for kills and assists

[shell moon]

as normal

to be able to click recap

[west socket]

But this is something that’s going to be subtracting gold on a per hit basis

I don’t know, I’m going to give the item name thing a shot

And if it doesn’t work I’ll just append to action bar

[shell moon]

dont send packets to client without a good reason, always causes issues

if you plan to give real items, then be ready to intercept and prevent players from throwing and do stuff with it

[west socket]

Pain

[hoary scarab]

@west socket why not just send an actionbar message?

[dark garnet]

public String[] getAll(String[] columns) {
    StringBuilder result = new StringBuilder(30);
    if (columns.length < 1) {
        for (String column : columns) {
            if (!Objects.equals(column, column.split(",")[0])) {
                result.append(", ").append(column);
            }
        }
    }
}```why am i getting this? https://srnyx-needs.to-sleep.xyz/IzrituE4n2.png
i think ik y but im not sure how to fix it

[pure crater]

lol

[shell moon]

Yapper read ☝️

@dark garnet because columns

is always empty

**Clue: **||do u know any number lower than 1 has is greater than 0?||

[hoary scarab]

Ah thought the item name showed in the actionbar.

[shell moon]

[dark garnet]

here's an example of what im putting in: new String[]{"UUID", "USERNAME"}

there are 2 strings, "UUID" and "USERNAME", right?

[shell moon]

do you understand

what i said?

"columns" is always

read: always empty

if columns.length is lower than 1

get the idea?

its like saying

if(integer < 1) {
if(integer > 10) { //IDEA will say: "statment is always false"
//this will never run
}
}

[dark garnet]

omg

im so stupid

bro i thought that < 1 meant greater than 1 😭

[shell moon]

[dark garnet]

what would result parse if the loop is never run?

would it just be like ""

[shell moon]

what?

[dark garnet]

like if used result.toString() later what would that come out to if columns.length == 1

[shell moon]

why would use it result toString

if its an array

[dark garnet]

result is a StringBuilder

[shell moon]

ahh i meant columns lmao

empty string builder is

[dark garnet]

with the space or without? (i assume without)

[shell moon]

yes, without

at least, afaik it should

return empty

[dark garnet]

alright and what about Arrays.toString(columns).split(",")[0] (if columns.length == 1)?

[shell moon]

wtf

man what are you even trying to do

this is an xyproblem

[dark garnet]

here's the whole method: https://paste.srnyx.xyz/ejedofuyic.java

[shell moon]

question was

what are you trying to do

i seriously see no point

to do that

lol

[dark garnet]

im trying to get all values in all of the columns

so i have to append , to each column for it to work in the mysql statement
but i cant append it to first string or else it'd be SELECT , column1, column2, column3 FROM ? which would be invalid syntax
so i only append it to every string except the first one
but then result doesnt include the first string, so i have to input it manually which is what ps.setString(1, Arrays.toString(columns).split(",")[0]); is for

but i also want the method to support single strings (ex: new String[]{"PLAYER"})
so if there is only one string, i want result.toString() to output (nothing)
and i wanna know what Arrays.toString(columns).split(",")[0] would output if there is only one string
cause if there are is only one string, there are no ,, so im not sure if it'd be able to split

oh also another question, is new String[]{"PLAYER", "UUID"} the same as new String[]{"PLAYER","UUID"}?
or would i have to account for the space in Arrays.toString(columns).split(",") (so it'd have to be Arrays.toString(columns).split(", "))?

[west socket]

So I’m attempting the item name stuff lol, so far the issue I’ve ran into is that despite the documentation saying that slot 0 is your main hand, it puts it on the boots lol

[edgy wedge]

How are you setting the item into the inventory?

[west socket]

 public static void sendItemName(Player player, String text) {
        ItemStack item = new ItemStack(Material.SIGN);
        ItemMeta meta = item.getItemMeta();
        meta.setDisplayName(text);
        item.setItemMeta(meta);

        PacketPlayOutEntityEquipment packet = new PacketPlayOutEntityEquipment(player.getEntityId(), (short) 0, CraftItemStack.asNMSCopy(item));
        ((CraftPlayer) player).getHandle().playerConnection.sendPacket(packet);
    }```

[west socket]

According to this protocol, slot 0 should be the item in your hand

It seems that 0 is boots though

[edgy wedge]

That's some outdated documentation. What MC version are you running? Also, I'd look into using the API as it can do the same with less of a hassle https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/entity/Player.html#sendEquipmentChange(org.bukkit.entity.LivingEntity,org.bukkit.inventory.EquipmentSlot,org.bukkit.inventory.ItemStack)

[bold ridge]

1.8.8

:/

Thanks for telling me about that

Oops, not a 1.8 method. Funny 10 year old version of minecraft moment

[edgy wedge]

Can't help you much then other than telling you to consider to upgrade to a newer MC version or play around with it until you get what you desire, but expect support for old versions to be scarce

[surreal lynx]

How come I can't get the color after creating this try statement?

[bold ridge]

Yeah sorry about that. There are reasons why I'm not upgrading. Thanks for the help anyways.

[edgy wedge]

You're creating the color variable inside brackets above. Anything outside of those brackets can't access that variable

[lyric gyro]

Try monad 😌

[surreal lynx]

Thank you, I should have realized that 😅

[dark garnet]

another question lmao
when i use ps.setString (ps is a PreparedStatement) it always surrounds it with '' when setting the string, how can i prevent that?

example:java String name = "hello"; PreparedStatement ps = Main.SQL.getConnection().prepareStatement("?"); ps.setString(1, name);would come out to 'hello', but i instead just want hello

[lyric gyro]

well yeah because a string is defined by quotations

that's how the sql engine handles it

[dark garnet]

how do i fix it?

[lyric gyro]

there is nothing to "fix"

[dark garnet]

how do i remove the '' around the string then

[lyric gyro]

you're telling sql "I want a string with this content" and that's what it produces

what are you trying to achieve here?

why do you so need it without the quotations?

[dark garnet]

cause with the apostrophes it makes the statement invalid

[night ice]

What is the original query?

[dark garnet]

create table if not exists ? (id int(11) not null auto_increment, ? primary key (id))

[night ice]

And what would be the parameters you would need to add?

[dark garnet]

here's the entire method (u need it to know the parameters): https://paste.srnyx.xyz/ubiliyeqis.java

[lyric gyro]

Table names are not values, ? is a value placeholder for things like insert and update

[night ice]

In any ways …you can just hardcode those values..no way there would be an SQL Injection gonna happen there if you know what you are doing…

[night ice]

+1

[lyric gyro]

Table and column names go as-is or surrounded by backticks `

[dark garnet]

name is set with new GetSQL(name) (ex: new GetSQL("trusted").createTable(new String[]{"PLAYER", "TRUSTER"});)

[night ice]

Also please don’t complicate things by using StringBuilder…while you can just add it by normal queries

[dark garnet]

wdym?

[night ice]

Check this

https://github.com/AlenGeoAlex/DiamondBank/blob/78bfe9125482ae7520ff385dbef4710d6c9b9353/src/main/java/me/alen_alex/diamondbank/storage/SQLite.java#L107

[night ice]

There is no need of using the StringBuilder There to just add them to to table name…you can just do it regularly….

[dark garnet]

its meant to like be dynamic

so if i wanna create a new table i can just do new GetSQL("table_name").createTable(new String[]{"POINTS", "XP"}) or something

[night ice]

Then instead of setString() concat it directly…as u know what would be the use case there right….

Bcs as Emilly said, table name isn’t a value there

[dark garnet]

wdym by not a value?

what makes something a value?

[night ice]

Everything that needs to inside quotes….

[dark garnet]

so instead of something like this:

PreparedStatement ps = Main.SQL.getConnection().prepareStatement("CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS ? (ID INT(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, PRIMARY KEY (ID))");
ps.setString(1, name);```it'd just be this?```java
PreparedStatement ps = Main.SQL.getConnection().prepareStatement("CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS " + name + " (ID INT(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, PRIMARY KEY (ID))");```

[night ice]

Yeah

[dark garnet]

what about sql injection? when should i be concerned about it?

[night ice]

You are the one creating those tables…right? So if u know what you are doing…then you are good to go

[dark garnet]

who else would be creating the tables...?

When I right click on the sign

[Exam]
Exam1

It is not sending my debug message in chat. Anyone know why this is happening?

Config is as follows:

Exams:
  Exam1: # // You can name each exam whatever you'd like \\
    permission: 'cityrp.exam.take' # // (Prerequisite) - Set this to "cityrp.exam.take" to not require a prerequisite permission. \\

        b: 'Answer 2'
        c: 'Answer 3'
        d: 'Answer 4'
        Correct Answer: 'a'

@grim oasis maybe you know, im pretty sure you made my old old exam sign plugin?

[dark garnet]

are you opped? cause ur checking for a perm, and i think ops get all perms

[junior shard]

Yes I am opped

[dark garnet]

try deopping

[junior shard]

So, it works if I put that line of code in my ExamCreate listener

just not if I right click the sign, which I find odd

@dark garnet

[dark garnet]

worked?

[junior shard]

No, thats if I put the loop into my sign create listener

[dark garnet]

oh

[junior shard]

It shows the debug there, but it doesn't show the debug when I right click the sign

[dark garnet]

try adding multiple debug msgs inside each bracket

to find where its failing

[junior shard]

alright

https://pastebin.com/eAkcvYYR

[junior shard]

looks like its failing here

if (sign.getLine(1).equalsIgnoreCase(key)) {

[dark garnet]

ah yea thats what i thought

are you sure its 1?

cause wouldnt that be [Exam]

[junior shard]

Yeah, line 1 would be the name of the exam

No line 0 is [Exam]

right?

unless it switches up lol

[dark garnet]

before that if statement put e.getPlayer().sendMessage(sign.getLine(1).toString()); or whatever it'd be

[junior shard]

                e.getPlayer().sendMessage(e.getLine(1).toString());

                if (!e.getLine(1).equalsIgnoreCase(key)) {

Message doesnt send

[dark garnet]

o might be cause of if (sign.getLine(0).equalsIgnoreCase(ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', sHeader)))

so put before this ^

ok wait nvm javadocs literally says 0 will return first line

so dont think its cause of that

[junior shard]

Maybe the color codes?

That must be it

what if I strip color

[dark garnet]

yea thats what im thinking

(ChatColor.stripColor(sign.getLine(X)).equals(Y)) i think?

[junior shard]

not exactly sure where the "boolean" is coming from considering "key" is a string

if (sign.getLine(1).equalsIgnoreCase(examNameColor + key)) {

I will just try this lol

[dark garnet]

ur providing a boolean (cause of the .equalsIgnoreCase(key)) for ChatColor.stripColor, it needs a String

so u just need to put .equalsIgnorecase(key) outside of ChatColor.stripColor()

[junior shard]

Oh

yeah parenthesis were wrong

if (ChatColor.stripColor(sign.getLine(1)).equalsIgnoreCase(key)) {

still failing

[dark garnet]

it looks like there is a space before Exam1, is that cause of the debug msg?

if its not cause of the debug msgs u could use .trim() to get rid of it

[junior shard]

My god i'm glad your eyes work

Alright that worked.. I don't even know why I put a space between the exam name color and the text

[junior shard]

Is there a way to only get the 1st key from the config?

I want to only send them one question at a time, after they answer the question, it sends the next one

[dark garnet]

this is probably the most ridiculous way to do it and there is probably a much better way:
convert keys to array and get first value in array then convert to string

[junior shard]

Im sure everything I code has a much easier way

But thank you

[dark garnet]

same lmao

[junior shard]

Oh wait, but I need to be able to add as many questions as I want, not define it to a set amount of questions

That example would only give me the first question, then if I changed the 0 to a 1 it would give me the 2nd question -- But doing this I would have to manually code this for a set amount of questions

[night ice]

Loop

[dark garnet]

I need to remember to use loops more ig cause I’ve been running into the same issue lmao

[junior shard]

In config: amount of questions: 3

then for (int i = 0; i <= qAmt; i++) {

yeah?

[night ice]

Either that way..or you could get the iterator of ConfigurationSections#KeySet()

hello people

I'm trying to add my own placeholders to my plugin

is there any good tutorial out there?

[tepid patio]

Hi, when i try to import PlaceholderAPI libraries it drops me this error:

The import:
import me.clip.placeholderapi.expansion.PlaceholderExpansion;

The error:
The import me cannot be resolved

I am using eclipse IDE with a spigot 1.18.1 jar, java 17 and I have set up the placeholder api external jar

[hoary scarab]

Oh NVM I instanced DoubleChestInventory not DoubleChest

[dense drift]

yeah, DoubleChest is the block

debugging is hella good

[hoary scarab]

The others tabbed the correct DoubleChest instanceof tabbed DoubleChestInventory for some reason.

[dense drift]

Any idea if using a PermissionHolder, permissions will also be set on plugins like LuckPerms?

[hoary scarab]

I think as long as its registered through bukkits permissions you should be fine.

[dense drift]

is not

[lyric gyro]

PermissionHolder?

[dense drift]

PermissionAttachment***

looks like a temporary permission

[lyric gyro]

I can't speak for other plugins but LP will preserve Bukkit's behavior and include it but it won't be saved

[dense drift]

yeah, I need it to be saved, will use vault

[ocean raptor]

using streams would be cleaner ig

[pulsar ferry]

Iirc that's caused by the shade plugin version not being updated for latest Java versions
Search for the versions of "maven shade plugin" and use latest

[dark garnet]

I think that’s what I did but then IntelliJ told me to change it to that

[ocean raptor]

weird

[sudden sand]

how do I update it ?

[pulsar ferry]

On your pom, find where the plugin is declared and change the version, I think latest is 3.2.4

Either that or the compile plugin version

Don't remember exactly, sorry I'm not used to maven

[sudden sand]

already the latest and yeah me too I'm not used to maven I prefer gradle

[pulsar ferry]

Hmm, can you send the pom?

[sudden sand]

https://paste.helpch.at/ixequzicir.xml

[pulsar ferry]

Try changing the compiler plugin version to 3.10.1

Line 18

[surreal lynx]

I know the code of the plugin isn't great (it's just a fork i made to add a few little things, i'm learning java so I will try to improve it soon), but can someone tell me why every fishing rod is a grappling hook on my main server, but on my test server only the correct ones are grappling hooks?
https://github.com/lucian929/GrapplingHook/blob/master/src/main/java/net/maploop/commands/MainCommand.java
I have a feeling some plugin is messing with the meta the plugin uses to check if an item is a grappling hook, but I'm not sure what a better method would be to store the data

[high edge]

Are you using lore/display name to check it or what?

[surreal lynx]

My bad, here's where it checks for a grappling hook https://github.com/lucian929/GrapplingHook/blob/f716983f65fb6f890c63898d2687b950d08935d5/src/main/java/net/maploop/GrapplingHook.java#L62-L63

Please don't do that

use PDC (persistent data container)

[surreal lynx]

Will do

[sudden sand]

still getting that erro

is there a way to replace a items texture with another if the same equals something without optifine? (using a resource pack)

[upper jasper]

Not really, you could use custommodeldata though

[turbid yoke]

Guys, I want to make text animation. How can I make the text blink in colors?

[trail burrow]

@sudden sandI have noticed that some errors don't go away unless you make the change in your pom then close IDE and open it again

[west socket]

Where will the animation be displayed?

[turbid yoke]

in lore of the item

[west socket]

That’s tricky

Depending on how fast you want it to blink

[neon wren]

Is it a item in a player inventory or a GUI

[west socket]

^

[turbid yoke]

I want to make animation with one line of the lot of the item

can you give me the example of that?

[west socket]

Lot?

[turbid yoke]

no

[west socket]

Do you know how to make an ItemStack?

[turbid yoke]

No, I don’t

[spiral prairie]

what

[west socket]

You should learn spigot first

[neon wren]

I'm not going to spoonfeed you the code, can you provide whether the item will be in a inventory or in a menu.

[spiral prairie]

wab you learn how to do that first?

[west socket]

I would highly suggest getting an atleast basic knowledge of Java and Spigot before attempting to code a plugin.

Here’s a course you can buy that goes over all that:

https://www.udemy.com/course/develop-minecraft-plugins-java-programming/

[high edge]

3 people trynna help a single person, poor dude

[turbid yoke]

in menu

Is it possible to implement this in DeluxeMenus?

[west socket]

Oh god

I don’t think you know what this channel is

[turbid yoke]

lol

i am sorry

this isn`t need me channel

[neon wren]

Hi, for the configuration related to DeluxeMenus, I suggest going to #general-plugins, or #general-plugins-2.

Nothing to be sorry about, it's perfectly fine. EDITED: People make mistakes and it happens.

[hoary scarab]

String[] chars = new String[]{"a","b","c","d","e","f","1","2","3"}
ItemStack i = new ItemStack(Material.COBBLESTONE);
ItemMeta im = i.getItemMeta();

for(int i = 0; i < chars.length(); i++) {
    new BukkitRunnable() {
        public void run() {
            im.setDisplayName("&"+chars[i]+"Cobblestone");
            i.setItemMeta(im);
        }
    }.runTaskLaterAsynchronously(<JavaPlugin>, i*1);
}

[graceful hedge]

why async

[hoary scarab]

If used properly animating inventories can be done async.

Since they (custom inventories) don't affect the world.

[turbid yoke]

Thank you!

[graceful hedge]

but like async wont make it more performant really, it hurts both performance in this case, and it makes the code not thread safe

[hoary scarab]

Its pseudo code so adjust accordingly. Also its just something to read to know what to do. I wouldn't recommend copying it exactly.

[hoary scarab]

Doesn't need to be thread safe. Its an itemstack that was just created. Unless its spawned in the world which in this case it isn't

[graceful hedge]

the problem isnt the code itself, but when you start creating abstractions you'll forget the implementation which can cause severe issues. but as said its totally redundant and unnecessary to do every little thing async

like, ::runTaskLaterAsynchronously might have to allocate a new thread and start it

which is everything but cheap

since it uses a cached thread pool in the end

[hoary scarab]

Well the above code is in mind of keeping unnecessary code off the main thread.

[graceful hedge]

main thread?

server thread I suppose you mean? that code will have negligible impact if anything

[hoary scarab]

Yes spigot still uses a main thread

[west socket]

I love how you guys are arguing over a piece of code that was given to a guy who doesn’t know what an ItemStack is

[graceful hedge]

there's no concept of a main thread, just the server thread where the majority of the server logic gets executed on

[hoary scarab]

🤦 what do you think a "main thread" is

[graceful hedge]

idk

[hoary scarab]

You literally just defined it yourself.

[graceful hedge]

main thread is relative

[hoary scarab]

Server thread/ main thread == same thing

[graceful hedge]

server thread is not

no not at all if we're being pedantic

anyways you really have to stop using async for every little thing, it does not help performance whatsoever, merely a premature optimization, good bye

[hoary scarab]

You need to stop using sync for everything lmfao.

[graceful hedge]

hm?

stop trolling around

[hoary scarab]

Spawn over 1k particles sync 😉

[lyric gyro]

that will make literally no difference lol

particles only exist to the client, it's just a packet being sent on the server's end

and 1k is nothing

[hoary scarab]

tell that to your TPS xD

[loud sorrel]

hey so this isnt rly a spigot question, more of a computer anatomy question. i want to try programming led strip lights and i dont have an arduino and my raspberry pis not here. can i connect it to my computer until i can get one? i just cant find a good tutorial if someone can point me in the right direction ty

[west socket]

Having a ton of packets sent will absolutely kill tps

[hoary scarab]

Only if sent sync

[west socket]

Have you ever had a hologram displaying placeholders to over 200 people at the same time

[lyric gyro]

That's the nature of sending too many packets, packets are always sent sync, when dispatched async they get put in a queue that is flushed on connection ticking (ticked by server thread)

[graceful hedge]

^

[lyric gyro]

"send async" doesn't mean anything

[shell moon]

so async is not async

[graceful hedge]

it might be understandable if you got some particle animation calculation you wanna do, but even then, java and the jvm is fast, it knows a lot of tricks, by using async you're hindering certain jvm and jit optimization stuff from being invoked

(well if used erroneously which is 80-90% the case of all code I have read so far on spigot)

[west socket]

I wish I could somehow have citizens run async

[graceful hedge]

for what purpose?

[west socket]

I have a lot of bots on my server with custom attack events and movement patterns

And they tend to be really hard on the main thread

[graceful hedge]

well, thing is chances are they would be even harder if you'd split it up and push it over to a thread / thread pool

[west socket]

Hmm yeah maybe

[graceful hedge]

like you need to implement proper locking mechanisms

which, yes affects performance in terms of speed

[west socket]

I would also need to use my own citizens fork I assume

[graceful hedge]

mye

and then you'd also pretty much have to setup some annoying tests to test atomicity (to make sure you didnt write anything wrongly)

[west socket]

Not worth the effort

I’ll just find more ways to optimize my end of the code

[graceful hedge]

mye

[hoary scarab]

Async means it runs later then sync. So it runs everything on the main thread that needs to be ran before moving on to queued threads

[graceful hedge]

async usually isnt an optimal solution

[west socket]

fawe moment

[graceful hedge]

well problem is, if you dont test your code that is multithread-implemented you have 0 way of telling if it will run into some concurrency update problems

especially when the software is supposed to scale

[west socket]

Yeah

[hoary scarab]

And this all stems from a use case where it is optimal

[graceful hedge]

what do you mean by this

I mean even if async is a viable solution, its rarely ever an optimal solution, especially in object orientation where you really try to abstract away implementation

[loud sorrel]

hey so this isnt rly a spigot question, more of a computer anatomy question. i want to try programming led strip lights and i dont have an arduino and my raspberry pis not here. can i connect it to my computer until i can get one? i just cant find a good tutorial if someone can point me in the right direction ty

[icy shadow]

sorry what

running on another thread means the jvm doesn't optimize code

???

[lyric gyro]

you don't optimize code

[spiral prairie]

from my experience, Player#spawnParticle works just fine with thousands of them. No TPS drain afaik

[winged pebble]

Depending on the strips, they're just a light. No brains. You'd need a controller capable of accepting commands,unless you already have that

[tight junco]

I believe World#spawnParticle might hurt fps significantly

[graceful hedge]

Myes, if you for instance split up a big computation task into smaller ones and send them to a work stealing pool

Some of the optimizations may not be invokable (like generally when it comes to concurrency, things become a lot less predictable for both us and the jvm, and to some extent jit)

[loud sorrel]

i have a controller just dont know how to connect the lights to my pc and change them w code

[winged pebble]

Is it a programmable controller?

[loud sorrel]

i dont think so

[winged pebble]

I'd assume without a programmable controller, then there isn't too much you can do. (You could probably make something that might work with RGB interfaces if your motherboard supports it)

[atomic trail]

What exactly does these signs mean? I wanna update to Master branch

[spiral prairie]

It does, but not as hard as someone might think, the client doesnt render all of the particles

[tight junco]

idk ive crashed a server with particles a few times

i think

[dark garnet]

im getting a syntax error with this mysql statement: [WORLD_XYZ_BLOCK] FROM v_locked (cause of the [])

[WORLD_XYZ_BLOCK] = Arrays.toString(columns).split(",")[0]

i tried doing (Arrays.toString(columns).split(",")[0]).replaceAll("\\[]", "") but that didn't work, any ideas?

[dense drift]

it tells you where the conflict is from my understanding

[dark garnet]

u have conflicts
everything between <<<<<<<<< Review_branch and ========= is from Review_branch, everything between ======== and >>>>>> master is from master
you need to choose which code you want to use, i think there r buttons to choose

[atomic trail]

Yeah I knew it was a conflict, just not what exactly was from where, but it kinda makes sense, it just sometimes duplicates some stuff

[dark garnet]

its cause u didnt merge upstream before making changes

so u made changes to master and then edited old code and tried to merge that old code into the new code

[dark garnet]

im dumb, needed a | between the brackets for the regex

[shell moon]

Day7: Still dont get what are you doing that lol

[dark garnet]

1. i input a String[] (columns) [ex: new String[]{"WORLD", "XYZ", "BLOCK"}]

2. if columns has more than 1 String, it will append , to each String except for the first one to make result [ex output: ", XYZ, BLOCK"]

3. then it will run this statement: "SELECT " + Arrays.toString(columns).split(",")[0].replaceAll("\\[|]", "") + result + " FROM " + name

Arrays.toString(columns).split(",")[0].replaceAll("\\[|]", "") = WORLD
result = , XYZ, BLOCK (empty if columns only has 1 String)
name = table name put in via constructor

and it returns new String[]{ps.executeQuery().toString()} (not sure if this part actually works)

yeah just realized that return statement probably doesnt make any sense

cause its literally converting to a single string (how does that even work lmao, this gets all the values in each column specified) then putting it into a String[] (ex: String[]{"entire output"}) lmao

so im gonna have to figure out what ps.executeQuery().toString() outputs

[shell moon]

wtf man

why are you even trying to do that wtf

[cerulean birch]

anyone got tips for doing async io? I have a plugin where I use the BukkitScheduler#runTaskAsynchronously to do a mix of parsing Files into JsonObjects and writing JsonObjects to Files, I wanna be careful to make sure data doesn't get corrupted/synchronization problems don't pop up

[lyric gyro]

welcome to concurrency

it sucks, now you have a problem, enjoy the ride
it's not an easy topic that can be covered in a paragraph and anything anytime can get out of hand https://www.baeldung.com/java-concurrency https://www.baeldung.com/java-thread-safety

[dark garnet]

to get all the values in (a) column(s)

anyways, another issue (with same method):

ResultSet rs = ps.executeQuery();
List<String> fResult = new ArrayList<>();
if (rs.first()) {
    while (rs.next()) for (String column : columns) {
        fResult.add(rs.getString(column));
    }
    return fResult;
}```if there is only one value present it wont return it cause of the `rs.next()` (i think thats why)
i tried doing `for (String column : columns) while (rs.getString(column) != null)` but that just made the plugin hang on start

[shell moon]

i dont get what you wanna do tbh

i mean, whats the reason lol

not what you are trying to do to achieve that

[sterile hinge]

the escape analysis checks whether an object escapes a) the method and b) the thread. If an object escapes a thread, it can't be allocated in the TLAB and there are some other memory operations required. So yeah, it kinda makes it harder for the jit to optimize the code

[dusty frost]

from what i've heard JVM escape analysis isn't super great as it doesn't have too many options since there aren't like stack allocated objects or anything

[sterile hinge]

that hasn't to do much with stack allocation, but the analysis is somewhat conservative. Graal for example can do partial escape analysis

[sand ermine]

Anyone recommend a good obfuscator?

[robust crow]

You'll most likely find people here will push for open source

[dense drift]

none

[worn jasper]

Open source is poggers

[hoary scarab]

None of the ones spigot allows LMAO

[flat anchor]

Open source is best obfuscation

[sterile hinge]

Not knowing the language is the best obfuscation

[lyric gyro]

just write in any FP language

[graceful hedge]

lol

[past ibex]

open source is the best DRM and obfuscation

[hoary scarab]

No. No its not.

[past ibex]

Yes it is, people can't steal your code into a proprietary plugin if everyone has access to your code

People will notice that it's stolen from X open source plugin

[hoary scarab]

Open source is literally "steal this code to use in your own projects" xD

[past ibex]

wow, I think I should really start decompiling + cracking your project to check for stolen code then

[lyric gyro]

open source licenses are a thing, y'know

[hoary scarab]

My code is my own. Hence the obfuscation, so it won't be stolen 😉

[past ibex]

so you trust that no one will deobfuscate and steal your code?

[hoary scarab]

They can try. Only 1 person removed my blacklist but they couldn't deobfuscate the code.

[lyric gyro]

obfuscation is utterly useless

look at minecraft

nothing stopped the community from completely reversing it

That’s not completely true lol

Minecraft’s obfuscation is shit

[hoary scarab]

Minecrafts "Obfuscation" just changes the variable names. They aren't trying to hide their code.

[lyric gyro]

obfuscation != code mangling tho

There’s powerful obfuscates out there

[hoary scarab]

My Obfuscator makes what ever I want I's and L's; Strings, methods etc.. And remapps.

[lyric gyro]

so.. renaming

[pulsar ferry]

Not even the best obfuscation will prevent that

[lyric gyro]

All depends on your situation, if you’re selling your product idk why you’d open source it

Nobody would buy it then

Cause they already have it

[grim oasis]

well

not true necessarily

[hoary scarab]

If a plugin.yml contains depend: [<pluginname>] will this plugin run onDisable() before or after the plugin its depending on?

[spiral prairie]

Probably before

[hoary scarab]

I thought so. I'm gonna need to debug it cause I feel like its not

[spiral prairie]

You can just look at the log

No need for debug

[past ibex]

I don't see why it would

[hoary scarab]

I gotta debug more then just that lol

[past ibex]

don't see anywhere in the code other than startup where it references depends

[hoary scarab]

well seems like it unloads based on depend order. So I don't think thats my issue then which kinda sucks cause I was hoping it would be that easy lol

[past ibex]

but it probably just unloads based on the order things load...

[hoary scarab]

Either way the plugin that depends says unloaded before the depended on plugin

[past ibex]

yeah, it does. Unload order is based on load order

[hoary scarab]

The issue was I forgot to add the object to the list that is checked onDisable

[west socket]

This should work right?

public static boolean isFull(Chest chest) {
        for(int i = 0; i < chest.getInventory().getSize(); i++) {
            ItemStack itemStack = chest.getInventory().getItem(i);
            if(isAirOrNull(itemStack)) return false;
        }
        return true;
    }```

Keeps returning the wrong value

[winged pebble]

What does isAirOrNull do exactly?

[dusky harness]

try chest.getInventory().firstEmpty() == -1 (-1 = full)

[west socket]

Oh I didn’t know about that method

Thanks

[proud pebble]

probably checks if the material type of the item is air or the itemstack is null.

sorta makes sense

[dark garnet]

ive already said:

to get all the values in (a) column(s)

[shell moon]

What are you doing?

Ban system? Minigame?

[dark garnet]

locking system

it stores the world, x, y, z, and block type in WORLD_XYZ_BLOCK, the locker in LOCKER, and the person that placed it in PLACER

and on start it checks each location in WORLD_XYZ_BLOCK, if the block type at the location isnt the same as whats stored, it will set LOCKER to null

so to do that i need to get all values in WORLD_XYZ_BLOCK, and for each value it gets the world, x, y, and z, which is put into a Location

public void check() {
    List<String> list = new GetSQL("locked").getValue(new String[]{"WORLD_XYZ_BLOCK"});
    if (list != null) for (String key : list) {
        String[] split = key.split(",");
        Location loc = new Location(Bukkit.getWorld(split[0]), Double.parseDouble(split[1]), Double.parseDouble(split[2]), Double.parseDouble(split[3]));
        if (!loc.getBlock().getType().name().equalsIgnoreCase(split[4])) {
            new GetSQL("locked").setValue("WORLD_XYZ_BLOCK", new LockManager(loc.getBlock()).getId(), "LOCKER", null);
        }
    }
}```

[shell moon]

ahhhhhhh

you dont need all columns then

you need all rows

or im wrong

[dark garnet]

why?

[shell moon]

why what?

i doubt you create a column

every time you save a new location

that would be simply dumb

you probably insert a new row right?

(but column is not the same as row)

[dark garnet]

every time a block is placed it creates a new row with the block's WORLD_XYZ_BLOCK and PLACER, LOCKER remains null
PLACER is used to check if the person trying to lock the block placed it, but it only saves blocks which are lockable

[shell moon]

i know that

[dark garnet]

o

[shell moon]

question is why you said

"i need to get all columns"

[past ibex]

I hope you do a lot of caching as without caching this code will perform terribly

[dark garnet]

uh oh, how do u cache

[shell moon]

HashMap<Location,Locker> ea = new HashMap()<>

prob

so you need to loop all rows

[dark garnet]

that was just in general, as the method can be used be any amount of columns

[shell moon]

not columns, right?

why columns

thats my question

idk if you get the difference between

column and row

thats why im confused

why would you have more than 4 columns

[dark garnet]

i have 3 columns

[shell moon]

ok

why you need to "loop"

those 3 columns

if you already know

the name of the columns

you "loop" when you dont know how many you have

if you have 3 with names

locker, type, owner

then you simply get them

which leads to my question again

WHY you need to loop all columns

if you have only 3

you probably meant "loop rows" instead?

that's what is confusing me

i dont understand what you trynna do

and why you would loop columns

you get my concern?

[dark garnet]

hm

[shell moon]

you dont?

[dark garnet]

sorta

this part right? for (String column : columns)

[shell moon]

yeah

thats the question

why would you loop columns (of the database)

if you have only 3

i wonder why

if its a locked system

you simply load all rows on start

and check on diff events like break block, interact, etc etc

and save on stop

[dark garnet]

but i dont want all rows

[shell moon]

but why columns

ok, i'm officially

[dark garnet]

i only want the values in WORLD_XYZ_BLOCK

[shell moon]

confused

thats

a

row

[dark garnet]

oh i thought u meant like entire row

[shell moon]

irrelevant

[mint verge]

Have you thought about using Terry's Ring0 Columns hashing mechanism @dark garnet ?

[shell moon]

you can simply set it to pick only WORLD_XYZ_BLOCK column

but why would you need to loop all columns

if you only have three

you probably made a mistake

and meant "loop rows" all this time?

[mint verge]

ResultSet

hello

[shell moon]

we know

question is why he wants to loop "columns"

not rows

tahts my question, since yesterday

[dark garnet]

ik y i put it but i dont know how to explain 😩

[shell moon]

i dont think you know what you mean with that

[rose oxide]

but like also whom care if hes looping cols

[mint verge]

The only reason why u'd loop columns is if you don't know the column's content

[shell moon]

i mean, you have 3 columns

[dark garnet]

but now that i think about it, it doesnt make any sense y i put it

[shell moon]

if you had unknown number of columns

i'd understand

but with only 3

[dark garnet]

yes yes i do

its a dynamic method, meant for any amount of columns

[mint verge]

@dark garnet Let me ask you this do you know what are the columns you need to get the info from?

[dark garnet]

yes but the method is supposed to be able to take any number of columns with any names and then output all of the values (rows) from those columns

[mint verge]

why

[dark garnet]

huh

[shell moon]

lmao
