[spice river]

ok

[lyric gyro]

[0,3)

[spice river]

thanks

[merry knoll]

in general first part is usually inclusive and second isnt

[broken elbow]

oh. I didn't realise that would reset commits. but makes sense. Will try

[dusky harness]

yes

[icy shadow]

careful

[broken elbow]

Thank you SirYwell.

[lyric gyro]

You're welcome

[icy shadow]

no problem

[broken elbow]

❤️

[pastel umbra]

Wheres the answer?

[lyric gyro]

You're kidding, right?

[pastel umbra]

Ping it

[lyric gyro]

The one answer you've been ignoring from like 4 different people already

[sterile hinge]

yeah be careful with that, and depending on what you mean with reset, it might not do exactly what you want it to do

[merry knoll]

in your situation you would store that data in your permission group

prefix - suffix or w.e. will be common in all groups

[broken elbow]

I Just had 2 commits pushed that I wanted to revert back. I've reset them locally then force pushed and it seems to have done exactly that

[merry knoll]

then store permissions of that group as a list

[broken elbow]

I never understood why tho. Is there a technical reason for this? Or just bcz that's what Ombladon decided? (Romanian meme, gaby will understand.)

[lyric gyro]

@dense drift confirm?

[dusky harness]

🥲

[icy shadow]

@lyric gyro confirm?

[merry knoll]

it really just depends in the language, same as how numbers start from 0 arbitrarily

[lyric gyro]

There is a technical reason why it's usually inclusive start / exclusive end for things like arrays/lists etc but I don't think it is justified for PRNGs lmao

[icy shadow]

starting from 0 isn't arbitrary, it makes sense in the context of arrays

[sterile hinge]

for rng it's probably more for sake of consistency

[lyric gyro]

Yea

[broken elbow]

yeah. I knew for 0s. I've seen some document explaining why it makes sense. But I've never seen why inclusive/exclusive is as it is

[wheat carbon]

it's obviously a philosophical thing

[lyric gyro]

shut up pig

[wheat carbon]

ok

[lyric gyro]

I liked the other one

[broken elbow]

pig. how is bungee support going?

[wheat carbon]

yes

[broken elbow]

I understand

[wheat carbon]

I get distracted ok

I've been researching all day

"researching"

I like calling mindless surfing of the internet research

[broken elbow]

sleeping and eating bacon I bet

[broken elbow]

that's actually pretty smart

[merry knoll]

then there is lua

[broken elbow]

I Might steal that

[icy shadow]

i hate lua

on the other hand

[wheat carbon]

lua is beautiful

[icy shadow]

not fail

[lyric gyro]

oh there you go

[icy shadow]

epic

[lyric gyro]

WOAH

[dusky harness]

thank you piggy

[wheat carbon]

idk why cube got rid of the normal commands

[broken elbow]

oh not fail

[pure crater]

Spam

[wheat carbon]

who even likes slash commands

slash commands mid

[lyric gyro]

they are okay

[dusky harness]

slash commands are cool

[icy shadow]

they feel extremely unfinished

[broken elbow]

okay-ish

[dusky harness]

I like them

[lyric gyro]

Can I get configuration help in here?

[wheat carbon]

actually no I remember his reasoning

[merry knoll]

discord is ceasing support for nonslash commands soon

is why

[dusky harness]

although the permissions part I don't like

[broken elbow]

Yeah. and they've been out for how long now? ... xD

[dusky harness]

but I'm getting used to it

[icy shadow]

way too long

[broken elbow]

NO

[wheat carbon]

he wanted to add slash commands so barry could be eligible for verification

even though barry... exists solely in one server

[lyric gyro]

Can we argue about our favourite IDEs?

[dusky harness]

why does barry need verification for 1 server?

[pure crater]

Configuration help please?

[dusky harness]

wait what does verification do

🥲

[wheat carbon]

yeah dkim

[icy shadow]

no you stupid brain

[pure crater]

Notepad++

[dusky harness]

Netbeans ftw

[wheat carbon]

idk

[lyric gyro]

Yeah

oh my god so many pings

[shell moon]

[wheat carbon]

he mentioned the normal command thing too but how is discord even going to enforce that

[broken elbow]

only for bots that are on 100+ servers tho right? or whatever the requirement is.

[dusky harness]

hm?

[pure crater]

Y’all how are you in this beautiful day!

[merry knoll]

it doesnt really matter, api wont give out message contents soon

[broken elbow]

and Barry is just in HelpChat

[wheat carbon]

what the fuck

[merry knoll]

nah, for all bots but they keep delaying it

[dusky harness]

although you can apply or something for moderation bots

[icy shadow]

fun fact discord slash command permissions are so bad that you cant give boosters permission in the client, you have to get an oauth token and do it through the api 🙃

[shell moon]

Which plugin?

[broken elbow]

wait what? why?

[icy shadow]

and you cant assign individual permissions for subcommands

[wheat carbon]

chatchat alonso

[icy shadow]

so dumb

[broken elbow]

Fart

[merry knoll]

privacy

[broken elbow]

how?

[shell moon]

[pure crater]

Help my discord account got disabled

[wheat carbon]

we do not support privacy at helpchat

[broken elbow]

how can they claim privacy?

[wheat carbon]

we are literally the google of discord servers

[icy shadow]

to be fair

[dusky harness]

I love how the chat just became like 10x more active after the multiplier 🥲

[shell moon]

[pure crater]

My friend got hacked help!!!

[icy shadow]

there are reports of bots harvesting messages for advertising and stuff

[wheat carbon]

everything you guys say is stored, and correlated

[dusky harness]

wait a minute

[broken elbow]

when every single message is stored on their servers even after they're deleted and discord personal can access it??

[dusky harness]

oh wait nevermind

[merry knoll]

way too common

[lyric gyro]

Anyway so yeah as I was saying yesterday I was in a voice chat with some random people and there was this one dude that did not take a shower because he needed to take his dog for a walk and he was exhausted as fuck but he did it anyway, so then he joined the voice chat and started livestreaming walking his dog and oh my god it was so cute, then he got tired, went back home and took a shower. No he did not stream that part

[icy shadow]

carl and a few others apparently spy on your activity status

[lyric gyro]

MEE6 does datamining

[merry knoll]

dont think they can pull activity anymore

[shell moon]

People usually talk at this time

[icy shadow]

i do not care

[pure crater]

Damn it

Missed the sauce

[lyric gyro]

Oh yeah and he also had the strongest Australian accent I've ever heard

It was hilarious

[icy shadow]

was it piggy

[pure crater]

Bloody hell

[lyric gyro]

No

[wheat carbon]

quite possible

[dusky harness]

Cube

[wheat carbon]

how do you know?

[icy shadow]

they are the only 2 australian people on the internet

[lyric gyro]

It was not a pig, it was a human

[broken elbow]

I almost thought you were going to forget mentioning that

[icy shadow]

it mustve been one of them

[dusky harness]

exactly

[wheat carbon]

did you record

[dusky harness]

if it's not piggypiglet

it has to be funnycube

[lyric gyro]

It was actually really funny

[wheat carbon]

if there's any evidence, and it's from my city, I'll be able to tell you roughly where

we can track this guy down

is that what we want?

[dusky harness]

could it have been a shape acting like a human?

[lyric gyro]

#development be like

[dusky harness]

lol

we are developing knowledge

(and xp)

[lyric gyro]

yeah of course

[wheat carbon]

emily I don a human disguise in public

[lyric gyro]

don

[icy shadow]

don cheadle

[wheat carbon]

it was the most suitable word

and you know it

[lyric gyro]

lmao

[icy shadow]

agony

[pastel umbra]

Making a call to the db wouldnt be efficient just to get their permissionlevel everytime, right? Do you think i should have a hashmap or something with all the players permissions in instead? Or wouldn’t it matter

[wheat carbon]

yes

you should have it cached in memory

[icy shadow]

you should always be caching db queries

or you will literally die

[lyric gyro]

But yeah I mean at the end of the day many people end up not using umbrellas, they are kind of overrated, getting a bit wet is not that much big of a deal really, and if you're soaking wet you've got bigger problems to worry about

[wheat carbon]

permissions aren't that big, it's fine to store every permission in memory

you can have the entire db in memory

perfectly fine

[lyric gyro]

Ayo 94%

[broken elbow]

well actually no. It can be piggy, cube or john barilaro

[icy shadow]

who?

[wheat carbon]

yeah who's cube

[dusky harness]

who is john barilaro

[merry knoll]

cache groups and permissions + cache what groups users belong to + their own permissions

[dusky harness]

well Blitz

[broken elbow]

haha. last Saturday it rained. LIke heavy rain .I Was driving and I Couldn't see 2 meters in front of me. And my tire popped. It wasn't fun. haha. haha. I go cry now. haha.

[dusky harness]

Okayyy

thank you very much

[lyric gyro]

Not a problem

[dusky harness]

did you type that yourself using your knowledge or did you steal it off of the internet

[lyric gyro]

I did

yes

[dusky harness]

wow

very impressive

[lyric gyro]

Usually I type below 100wpm but when someone needs information that quick I can just type that

[broken elbow]

My dad said: "I have not seen heavy rain like this in my life". And he is old. Like half a century old. He has also traveled quite a bit. So it must be the heaviest rain ever.

[ebon whale]

a or b?
yes

[lyric gyro]

yeah

[broken elbow]

or

best option ever

✳️ Global Multiplier Expired!

The global multiplier has ran out and has been reset!

[pastel umbra]

what's the best way of caching the db? hashmap?

[broken elbow]

[odd prawn]

Objects

[pastel umbra]

hmm ok

[pastel umbra]

you really think objects is the best way?

[odd prawn]

Make an object like a DataPlayer and save the data inside it

[pastel umbra]

Are objects only used in classes? kinda new to java so haven't used those yet

[pure crater]

Caffeine

[pastel umbra]

Seems pretty advanced? Is it worth learning? How much better than class objects is it?

[pure crater]

If you are a beginner, learn Java oop first

[merry knoll]

this

[pastel umbra]

I was simply asking whats better.....

[torpid raft]

define better

[pure crater]

If you say “Java class objects” it just means you should learn some OOP first at least lol

[sterile hinge]

Yeah that makes zero sense, and even less in the given context

[pastel umbra]

searching up java objects all that comes up are class objects

so...

idk what your point is

[pure crater]

Class is an Object

Object is what all things in Java fall under

Learn the hierarchy and OOP please

[grand spruce]

Hey does anyone know how I can get a 10 second break between round changes there?https://pastebin.com/bjqs5hdG

[stuck canopy]

    @Override
    public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command command, String label, String[] args) {

        Player sender1 = (Player) sender;

        if (command.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("spawner")) {
            if (args.length < 2) {
                sender1.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "/Spawner <mob> <player>");

                if (args[0].equalsIgnoreCase("cave_spider") && sender1.hasPermission("spawnersplugin.command")) {

                    player.getInventory().addItem(CaveSpiderSpawner);
                }```

why does this not work

[cinder forum]

specify "not work"

[stuck canopy]

It doesnt give player the ItemStack

[fiery pollen]

First, check if your player object is not null

Also your object CaveSpiderSpawner, where are you getting it?

[stuck canopy]

its a itemStack

getting it in the player's inventory

[pure crater]

But where are you getting it from?

[stuck canopy]

from another class

the ItemStack works tho

I tried it without the args[1]

[formal crane]

So i need some advise on sql storage, i have a plugin where you can have a vault where you can store items and you have x amount of pages, currently i save every page as base64 (all the items) in yml's but i want to have this with sql.

So the problem is the table, i don't want to have a column for every page because there will be vaults with like 150 pages and some with 4

yml example: https://paste.thebathduck.nl/iwixabitat.properties

(its also saved so that slots will always be at the exact spot as before)

[dusty frost]

have a table called "page" and have each row be a page? then you can collect them by user or whatever

that's a kind of weird setup, though I think that's what i would do

[icy shadow]

if pages are non-empty then i wouldnt even bother, just store 1 item per row and then convert the list to pages

like if you cant have empty slots

[formal crane]

like this?

i think i am either gonna do page1base64;page2base64 or go with the 2 tables plan

[dusty frost]

yeah that was what I was thinking

might be kinda weird with access if you put them all into one column though

I would at least recommend a separate column per

[icy shadow]

1 column, multiple rows

that is how you're supposed to do it

table entries should be atomic

[dusty frost]

well having an item per row

feels like it would be a massive pain

[icy shadow]

why?

you just do 1 query and splice them all together

[dusty frost]

thousands of rows per person?

[icy shadow]

if necessary yeah

[dusty frost]

goddamn

SQL big weird

[icy shadow]

they can handle billions of rows with ease

[dusty frost]

yeah just feels a little scary

and a bit of a waste if each row is literally just a base64 item and an id lol

[icy shadow]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

what's being wasted?

[formal crane]

i save every page as base64

[dusty frost]

honestly noSQL moment

[icy shadow]

that's how you're supposed to design sql databases

[dusty frost]

yeah but this isn't really a relational scenario

would literally be better to just use a Mongo record per person lol

[icy shadow]

potentially

[somber gale]

Is there an easy way with HTML and JS to list any folder that contains a index.html file?

I would like to have something like for my deploy-preview repository, so that if people get on the main page, they won't have a 404.
Here's the repository for further info (Readme explains the folder structure on the gh-pages branch): https://github.com/gh-pages-deploy/Deploy-Previews

I btw only want the very first index file found in a folder, meaning with a structure like

Andre601/
 |
 |- blog/
     |
     |- 79/
         |
         |- index.html
         |- posts/
             |
             |- index.html

I only want the index file from 79 listed

[dusty frost]

Sounds like an xy problem with your web server?

[somber gale]

...

[dusty frost]

I mean you can just traverse the file hierarchy

But it sounds like you want to route 404s to an index, which you would either do in your web server or in whatever backend software you're using

[somber gale]

Have you bothered checking the repository?

or like read my message?

I did mention gh-pages didn't I?

[dusty frost]

Yeah I did read your message and I looked at the repository. Not exactly sure what the context is.

Is this solely hosted through github pages?

[somber gale]

I would've mentioned it if it was anything else

[icy shadow]

client side JS cannot read server side files

[dusty frost]

^

[icy shadow]

it is simply not possible

[dusty frost]

Hence my assumption of a backend server serving files

[icy shadow]

as far as the browser is concerned there is no directory structure, just urls

[leaden sinew]

You could also store items with number ID’s to have them be unique, then for each slot reference the number ID (you’ll also need a column for amount in the stack).

[formal crane]

if i want to save a base64 in sql, should i just use the variable TEXT in sql?

[winged pebble]

VARCHAR is usually what I see

[formal crane]

doesnt varchar require me to give a length of chars?

[shell moon]

is it possible to get an entity in the server by uuid, if chunks are not loaded?

[dusty frost]

depends on what database you're using

in some, TEXT is just an alias of VARCHAR(65535)

[winged pebble]

No, if the chunks aren't loaded, the entity basically doesn't exist

[shell moon]

i was expecting a "yes" xdd

so basically, if i save entity uuid in file/database

the only way to know if the entity is still available

is that somehow the chunk gets loaded by player or something

well kinda weird the question, but anyways

[winged pebble]

Well if it is in a file/database, you could do it

Because you'd just check that database instead of the world

[shell moon]

i mean, to delete the entity entry (stored data). ik weird question/issue xdd

[brittle thunder]

https://docs.github.com/en/search-github/searching-on-github/searching-code#search-by-filename

[formal crane]

I am trying to save data to a database at onDisable but the database shuts down before i can save the data, any fix or am i doing something wrong?
console: https://paste.thebathduck.nl/yoyupoyuba.md

[sterile hinge]

Why do you think the database shuts down before you can save the data?

You‘re the one controlling that part

And the exception rather looks like there are multiple connections to the same file

[formal crane]

because it says

[09:06:37 INFO]: [com.zaxxer.hikari.HikariDataSource] HikariPool-12 - Shutdown completed.``` before my plugin disables

[formal crane]

but i never disconnected the database in the ondisable at all

So it turns out the problem is that i have multiple plugins using hikari

[sterile hinge]

That’s why you should relocate dependencies

[edgy lintel]

just make a redirection to the index.html in a different directory

https://www.javascripttutorial.net/javascript-bom/javascript-redirect/

make like a working index.html in root dir with js redirection which directs to your custom index.html

or as an alternative you can register a custom domain with something like andre.com which is top level and redirects to your fake index.html and it will look like its on root

[formal crane]

whats that

[stuck canopy]

how do I make a ArrayList not reset when I restart the server

[sterile hinge]

you don't

if you need to persist data on disk, you should do so

[stuck canopy]

or either I can store the data in a file?

[proud pebble]

yes you store the data to file

[stuck canopy]

k so I managed to store the arraylist in the config file when the plugin disables

but how do I add the stored data from config back to the ArrayList when the plugin enables

spawners.addAll(config.get("spawners-location")); im trying this but it isnt working

"spawners" is the ArrayList

and its stored like this in the config

- Location{world=CraftWorld{name=world},x=130.0,y=54.0,z=14.0,pitch=0.0,yaw=0.0}
- Location{world=CraftWorld{name=world},x=124.0,y=55.0,z=12.0,pitch=0.0,yaw=0.0}

[topaz gust]

Create your own serialise and deserialise methods for Location. Mainly because you are currently storing useless data as a “spawner” will always be an exact block number so x, y, z can be stored as ints not doubles and pitch and yaw are always going to be 0 so don’t need to be recorded at all. Then to get that data back out you just reverse your method essentially.

However I will warn you storing large amounts of data in a .yml is going to end badly. A better approach would be json or a proper database

[formal crane]

So when i save my data to the database it locks, i don't know what that means but here is a log from the console: https://paste.thebathduck.nl/icowusater.md.

So basicly it starts Warning me for every element i want to save at onDisable()

Any known fix or am i doing something wrong?

Code: https://paste.thebathduck.nl/axibepitez.java

[brittle thunder]

SqlLite locks the file while writing, so you cant use multiple connections to write at the same time to the database

Instead, use batched updates or just use the same connection normally

[formal crane]

Oh so i should first declare the connection and then use it twice instead of what i did?

[merry knoll]

thats what you should be doing wherever possible regardless

thats also what hikari does for you, it keeps a pool of connections and distributes them as needed

instead of constantly opening and closing

[keen orbit]

Your Spigot account has been linked successfully!"....where i can ask help for "VoteParty"?

[hoary scarab]

If you don't put public or private does it automatically assume the instance is private?

[sterile hinge]

No, in most cases it means package private

[hoary scarab]

... So it would be private??? (Which is what I said lol)

[sterile hinge]

package private isn’t private

[hoary scarab]

Ah I see. Thanks.

[brittle thunder]

Access in same package + sub classes

[hoary scarab]

Yeah was thinking something else when I read "package"

[errant pilot]

anyone know how i could make boats move faster? setMaxSpeed is deprecated and doesnt reference another method to use instead of it
I could multiply their velocity when they move but then theyd still be moving forward even if a player stops moving the boat

[errant pilot]

Also the Boat.Type class is giving me ClassNotFoundException and NoClassDefFoundError

[stuck canopy]

so

what I did is

for onDisable method I saved the arraylist to the config.yml

and onEnable method I added all the locations in config.yml back to arraylist and deleted the config file and regenerated it

and It works for me

[stuck canopy]

anyways thanks for you advice

[odd prawn]

only thing is, if the server crashes or you press the kill button it won't save.

[stuck canopy]

how do I look for that?

[hoary scarab]

You can't

[spiral prairie]

just save everytime something changed or smh

[hoary scarab]

Its like if you have the console open and you close the window. Nothing gets saved. (World, player data, etc...)

[stuck canopy]

then how can I fix it

[hoary scarab]

Really not something you can fix. Because you can never tell when someone kills a server or the server crashes.

Your best bet is to leave the data saved or save at intervals. (Could be timed or when something is changed like Skyslycer said)

[spiral prairie]

yes

[stuck canopy]

aight let me try

[dense galleon]

This isn't Spigot or Paper related, but it's kind of a general Java question though it treats Forge classes

Is there any way for me to avoid repetition in this case:
Entities added by my mod should all override hurt() and take 1/3 of the damage they normally would.
The way I would do this, is having a parent class EarthboundEntity extending Entity, have it override hurt() and write the logic for that there, to finally have whatever Entities I add extend EarthboundEntity and have that logic automatically applied to them.
The problem though is that my entities aren't always going to just be Entity. They might need to extend other classes such as Animal or Monster. In those cases, I have to pick between my entity either extending EarthboundEntity to avoid repetition of the code written in there, or have it extend Animal/Monster to avoid repeating the code that is in there.

What's a solution for this weird issue?

[sterile hinge]

decorator pattern would be the an approach, not sure how well it would work with minecraft and your specific situation

[lyric gyro]

ur a decorator pattern

[dense galleon]

Decorator pattern?

[winged pebble]

Does Forge not have attributes?

[dense galleon]

I don't know, been using Fabric for all this time just jumped onto forge

[stuck canopy]

    FileConfiguration config = plugin.getConfig();

    @EventHandler
    public void onPlace(BlockPlaceEvent e) {

        Location location = e.getBlock().getLocation();
        ItemStack itemInHand = e.getItemInHand();
        if (itemInHand.isSimilar(CaveSpiderSpawner)) {
            config.getStringList("spawners-location").add("" + location);
            plugin.saveConfig();```

why does this not add the location to config

it resets the config removing everything in it

I tried using a simple text instead of location and it didnt work either

[dense drift]

Because you have to get the list, add the location, and then set the list back

[stuck canopy]

ohh so I cant add like that

Then ig Ill have to use a array list

[formal crane]

so basicly if i want to store many data with diffrent methods i open 1 connection and close it after all methods are done?

[merry knoll]

many data with different methods?

why not just batch it

[formal crane]

what is that

[merry knoll]

what are you trying to do exactly?

update the same table / database with multiple input?

[formal crane]

i have many objects (every vault has its own object) i put them all in one hashmap and onDisable i loop through the hashmap and save each object in the database

[merry knoll]

okay so since its a loop anyway, why do you need to close the connection

open connection
loop and put in database
close connection

or if the connection is being used often

then keep the connection open and use the reference to it

and close it on disable

[errant pilot]

How do i listen for the packet when a boat's left/right paddle is moving? im using protocollib
Im trying to figure out if a player is paddling a boat forward so i can apply a speedboost then but i cant figure the packet stuff out

[proud pebble]

cpulsbt you just get the boats velocity or whatever its called and work from there?

isnt the movement of the paddles clientside only?

[errant pilot]

yeah i can get the velocity, then speed it up but it would still speed up even when player isnt paddling it because the boat slides forward after you stop paddling

i tried storing the last velocity of the boat and checking to see if it slowed down, but because of the speed boost it always showed it was going faster or same speed
I tried doing math to subtract the speed boost value but couldnt figure it out

        Vector vec = e.getTo().toVector().subtract(e.getFrom().toVector());

        double speed = vec.length();
        Location loc = boat.getLocation();
        loc.setPitch(0);

        double speedBoost = fboat.getMaxSpeed()/20;
        Vector boostVector = loc.getDirection().multiply(speedBoost);


        if(speed < fboat.getMaxSpeed() && ((!fboat.boosted && speed>fboat.lastSpeed) || (fboat.boosted && speed>fboat.lastSpeed+speedBoost))){
            vec.add(boostVector);
            fboat.boosted = true;
        }else{

        }

        fboat.lastSpeed = speed;

        boat.setVelocity(vec);

this is what i was using before

but even if the player was holding S to slow down it still didnt think it was decelerating

[proud pebble]

i guess listen to VEHICLE_STEER and print the output to console and read what occurs when and go from there

[neat sundial]

Can someone help me?

I have a error

Ok im there

[clear aspen]

hello

im looking for some1 familiar with tebex development

[dense drift]

Ask away @clear aspen

[clear aspen]

i need to make a drop menu for tebex (i bought a design but wana make few changes)

[dense drift]

Ah you mean theme development

[clear aspen]

yea

[wise steeple]

Im redoing a plugin i madea while back basically from scratch
I need to generate a spawner with certain parameters as PDC values
Should i make a static class that has methods to generate that?

Also i have a bunch of namespaced keys. I have no idea what to name the class or package to put them in

[high edge]

Would probably be some type of a data package, and then depending on what kind of data would be your class, also yea static methods are probably fine for this

[wise steeple]

Thank you

[wise steeple]

I have a "DataManager" class that has methods that saves the dataconfig and all the file work. Then i have a "Data" class that is mapped into a file as the config (gotten with getConfig()). Should i use plugin.getDataManager().getConfig() or should i save object holding the config in my plugin class to do plugin.getConfig()
Maybe im overcomplicationg this

[high edge]

You are yes

[wise steeple]

lmao

Also i couldve sworn there was a way to make namespacedkeys static?

And to store them in their own class

No?

[high edge]

Well you need to pass in a plugin reference, so you could possibly use the init block

[worn jasper]

Quick question, is PDC run Async? Cause sometimes I set pdc of a player on quit event and it doesn’t save at all, so maybe when I am setting it it’s already too late?

[sterile hinge]

the player already left the server, the server already saved the player's data. Changing something in the PDC afterwards won't have any effect

[wise steeple]

Step 1: Realize you can cancel events
Step 2: Find PlayerQuitEvent
Step 3:

[warm steppe]

I'm pretty sure you can't cancel it

[stuck canopy]

    @Override
    public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command command, String label, String[] args) {

        Player sender1 = (Player) sender;

        if (command.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("spawner")) {

             if (args[0].equalsIgnoreCase("cave_spider") && sender1.hasPermission("spawners.command")) {
                    Player player = Bukkit.getPlayer(args[1]);
                    player.getInventory().addItem(CaveSpiderSpawner);
                }```

why does this not work with console

[dense drift]

because you cast the sender to a player without any checks

[stuck canopy]

oh

[stuck canopy]

how do I get strings from a database file

[hoary scarab]

So I have always used```java
YamlConfiguration yml = ...;
File file = ...;

public void saveYaml(boolean reload) {
if(yml == null) return;

try {
    if(reload)
        yml.load(file);
    else
        yml.save(file);
    yml = YamlConfiguration.loadConfiguration(file);
} catch (IOException | InvalidConfigurationException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

}
```To save my custom configs. My question is in later versions is yml = YamlConfiguration.loadConfiguration(file); still necessary? Or have they finally made it adjust the instance of yml when running load and save?

[high edge]

Never used that and it worked fine?

[hoary scarab]

Always had to adjust the instance when saving and (re)loading
Otherwise it never gave me the edits from the yaml.

[dusky harness]

well if you load it, then I think that you wouldn't have to load it again and create a new instance

and if you save it, then the file already matches what the instance is

[hoary scarab]

I'm gonna test it in a bit to make sure just writing up my new config system.
Figured I would ask though.

[lyric gyro]

pretty sure loadConfiguration is just shorthand for new + .load

[shell moon]

With discord.js it's still not possible to delete messages older than 2 weeks right? But bots can edit their own message even if its much older than 2 weeks right?

[robust crow]

Correct

[shell moon]

Sweet

[hoary scarab]

Sweet? What if people don't talk in your discord for 2 weeks at a time? Your bot can't remove messages you want cleared lol

[shell moon]

I mean the edit part

it sucks bots cant delete old messages xd

but it has always been like that

so people got used to it

[hoary scarab]

I use JDA currently

[shell moon]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

I only use that for plugins

no libraries allows you to remove messages older than 2 weeks yet right?

[hoary scarab]

Unless discord stopped allowing it I think all but javascript libs do.

[shell moon]

[hoary scarab]

Yeah looks like yml = YamlConfiguration.loadConfiguration(file) isn't needed anymore.

[merry knoll]

you can still remove the messages if you store their id i think

its an api limitation not a library one though

[shell moon]

really?

nicee

[timid garden]

Hey, I need help! Nowa days my server just loses data out of nowhere
And the world gets deleted, anyone got any idea on why or how?

[worn jasper]

Is there a pre player quit event?

[shell moon]

no lol

[worn jasper]

How would I solve this issue then?

[shell moon]

priority LOWEST

[shell moon]

why saving in player pdc?

just wondering

[worn jasper]

Will that always work?

[worn jasper]

I mean, its a way to store data builtin spigot

Why wouldnt we?

[shell moon]

bc of the issue you got maybe

[worn jasper]

Well ye, fair enough lol, tbh they also seem to have a bit of latency when getting them

[shell moon]

i wouldnt save something in pdc for players tbh

indeed, its better to use an external db

[high edge]

What exactly are you storing is the question

[worn jasper]

A boolean basically

Lol

Also, would storing block data in a chunks pdc be an issue in any case?

[high edge]

Well what kind of Boolean, context bitte

[worn jasper]

The boolean is meant to say if said user has placed a special block called Locker

Its the only job it has, its to say if he has it placed or not

[high edge]

And does the locker have data?

[worn jasper]

The block itself, yes, its its own object

But its not linked to the PDC

Its stored differently

[high edge]

Well why don't you just add an owner to the block data?

Or you know, just set the pdc data when they place it down lol

[worn jasper]

Cause I use it outside that, I cant just loop all chunks and check if a block has certain data...

That would probably be a pain

Even more if the chunk isnt loaded

[queen plank]

I'm trying to simulate a different gravity for entities. I do this by having a loop that is called every tick and runs this code e.setVelocity(e.getVelocity().setY(-he.getGravity())); each iteration. e is the entity modified and he is a wrapper class storing the gravity modifier among other things. However, this line causes massive performance issues on my server. Everything works fine if I continue right before it, but when I include this line I get "server overloaded" in the console and the server drops to ~10 tps

Any idea why?

[shell moon]

yaml file

[high edge]

And why are you looping? Just get the block, store it, the end?

[shell moon]

he probs want a command like /mylocks

and his example is

1. i want to save data in pdc

[high edge]

Then don't store the data in pdcs?

[shell moon]

but i cant bc of delay and i can't store in blocks

[high edge]

And use an actual database

[shell moon]

bc i wont be able to get all protections since they are in diff chunks

he should use a database or sth

and then load on start

i mean, no point on saving it in player either as it wont be loaded when someone attempts to break the sign

also you making a locker plugins? public? if so, ppl will prob start asking to lock doors too

and i dont remember very well, but you cannot use pdc there right?

might be wrong, never messed with doors lol

[worn jasper]

Uh no, not really. Different type of locker, but it’s fine,you are right, I shouldn’t use PDC for this

[shell moon]

[nimble vale]

is there a good tutorial for adventure chat api

i haven't been active since the adventure update on paper

so idk where to start

[nimble vale]

or some link. i checked official docs for adventure but it wasnt really helpful for me

[lyric gyro]

what about the official docs?

[nimble vale]

well let me check again the docs

[lyric gyro]

no, like

I'm asking what about them? what was unhelpful

[nimble vale]

actually i remember that it is but its been a while

and i guess docs have changed a little bit

[lyric gyro]

hm yeah it was reworked, somewhat

[nimble vale]

so should i store components and replace variables if i need to

or just create every time

[shell moon]

creating a new Location and spawning an entity there, loads the chunk 100% of the times right?

[nimble vale]

yeah spawning an entity does that

[shell moon]

any clue how much time its unloaded after that?

[sterile hinge]

depends

[merry knoll]

you can just check by listening to the packet

[nimble vale]

isn't that standart the despawn time

[shell moon]

[dusky harness]

Chunk unload packets aren't sent if the player didn't have it loaded (so if there's no one nearby, it won't be sent), and it might also be sent even if the chunk didn't unload (docs say that it's "legal" to send)

[nimble vale]

https://docs.adventure.kyori.net/platform/bukkit.html#usage
or should i do this according to this link for plugin

[dusky harness]

well for paper 1.16.5+, it's included already so you can just do Audience#sendMessage, etc

Audience can be players or the console

[merry knoll]

true, no need for packets can just listen to the chunk unload event

[dusky harness]

oh right, I forgot that existed

lol

[merry knoll]

for some reason i though they were spawning them for a person

[dusky harness]

and if not on 1.16.5+, then I think BukkitAudiences.create(plugin).sender(sender) <- Audience

[merry knoll]

rather than on the server itself

[nimble vale]

got it but should i create components every time when i want to send a message

[dusky harness]

yes - or if it's a constant message you can make it into a constant but I just make a component every time 🤷

except for error messages, I make those constant so that I don't keep typing them out

[merry knoll]

yes

[lyric gyro]

the cost isn't that high but usually I suggest you store messages as constants, like

class Messages {
  static Component NO_PERMISSION = Component.text("asd", NamedTextColor.RED);
  static Component BLOCK_PROTECTED = Component.text("fgh", TextDecoration.BOLD, TextColor.color(0x23c544));
}

etc

and then you'd just player.sendMessage(Messages.NO_PERMISSION)

or whichever other pattern you like tbh, that's what I tend to do

[nimble vale]

and so i can replace placeholders with that constant variables

[merry knoll]

if the message is different

just initialize a new one each time

use constants for actually constant variables

[shell moon]

afaik there was a replacement method or sth

[nimble vale]

alright thanks for everything

[merry knoll]

initializing an object is not costly, no need to be scared of using it

you want to do init and cache with the case of connection etc

where it actually is costly

[nimble vale]

well actually i don't want to mess with lots of lines with components

[lyric gyro]

If it's not for config stuff, there is a Component#replaceText method that allows you to configure a text replacement based on a regex pattern

[nimble vale]

and sometimes i will be using same message in more than one places with just a little differences

[nimble vale]

i guess that works yeah

[merry knoll]

little difference is a difference regardless

i honestly dont see a point reusing the same object in the case of the components

its just a data class

[nimble vale]

i mean a player name for example

wouldn't be better if i just replace it

and use a constant

[merry knoll]

really not much of a difference

[lyric gyro]

I'd rather have the components already built in a class like I did above and are actually named, than deal with the burden of writing the whole component over and over again - not for any performance reasons or anything, but a readability and usability perspective (and allowing the possibility of maybe, possibly, having two slightly different things where I meant to use the same)

just write them once and use anywhere, performance is not the issue here

[nimble vale]

yeah i guess that is best approach here regardless performance

[merry knoll]

Component.text("hi with name1")
Component.text("hi with name2")
for plain text i think this is clean enough

[merry knoll]

but i agree with this one if your component has a lot of elements

altho i probably would just make a method

rather than a constant in that case

[nimble vale]

yeah that's the point

[lyric gyro]

for a simple stuff like that sure, but when you get to something like this.. yeah I want to see you try
https://github.com/LuckPerms/LuckPerms/blob/master/common/src/main/java/me/lucko/luckperms/common/locale/Message.java

[nimble vale]

it's ugly as

[merry knoll]

i mean i did say for components with a lot of parts

i do agree with either caching (or just a method)

just so its cleaner

[nimble vale]

yeah depends on the situation

[merry knoll]

its just that i felt from the way they typed that they are scared in a way of initializing objects

in the case of classes like these, java can handle it extremely well

[nimble vale]

actually that was my first opinion

[merry knoll]

so from a performance perspective

no need to be scared, thats how its supposed to work

[lyric gyro]

it really doesn't matter

[merry knoll]

objects are created and garbage collected as needed

[lyric gyro]

short-lived objects are nowhere near a burden to the GC as they used to

[merry knoll]

exactly

[merry knoll]

as a rule of thumb, content of the class is what matters and for most objects its no big deal

you mainly want to cache objects that are heavy / take a lot of time (connection to database and reflection are the main examples)

[nimble vale]

it's a good reminder i sometimes act like paranoiac

[lyric gyro]

😅

[worn jasper]

If I had previously a class like public GeneratorData(String tier, String nextTier, String type), how would I migrate everything to an update version that has for example one more parameter?

why does this now work

oh wait maybe it doesnt work coz I didnt add the command in plugin.yml

[stuck canopy]

yep that was the problem

[worn jasper]

I mean that I already created objects and serialized them using a class with a constructor that contains only 3 params, and now I added a new param, wouldn't it make it impossible to deserialize the others and also make them invalid?

[pure crater]

Ohhh

I actually never thought of that hm

Is the extra parameter gonna each have different values for your old already created objects?

I was thinking keeping the old constructor and making it call the newer constructor

[worn jasper]

how so?

like having a default value

or the new parameter?

[pure crater]

Yes

[stuck canopy]

help

in my localhost server with no plugins it updates the spawner entity type to CAVE_SPIDER

but in another server with a bunch of plugins it isnt working

what could be causing it

[tacit belfry]

What version is it on?

[tacit belfry]

Also, have you checked that your configuration is generating?

[stuck canopy]

1.18.2

[stuck canopy]

yes

it says the msg too

"worked"

[worn jasper]

wait but will it work if I deserialize it?

Cause I serialized the previous class (with the previous params)

[tacit belfry]

That might be why, I had a problem a while ago with a config option where it was using legacy block ids. I forget how to fix it though

But my problem was with candles

[stuck canopy]

what was the problem?

[tacit belfry]

Oh I think you need to set api-version: 1.18

Or something like that

I could be completely wrong

[pure crater]

Perhaps. I mean it would call the old constructor right? And you could maybe load it and set the new property, and then serialize it back into new contents

[stuck canopy]

that is already 1.18

[tacit belfry]

Ok hmm

What is your local host running and what is the server running

[stuck canopy]

or maybe let me just try deleting plugins 1 by 1 and hopefully figure out which plugin is causing it

[tacit belfry]

Yeah maybe try that

[stuck canopy]

1.18.2 I mean

CraftInventory (and its variants ) are just wrappers for nms inventories. If you use .equals() it checks to see if the underlying nms inventories are the same

[shell moon]

When using 1.8 (or old versions) is there an easy way to differentiate between the durability of an armor/weapong/etc

which is the damage (uses) and the durability for example of a wool (colored) or golden apple (1 when enchanted)

?

[solemn ocean]

Guys does anyone know how to create custom pathfindergoals for entities? Like if I want to make new ai stuff, the actual thing is that i dont know how to make a mob have a rotation of abilities when is in aggro with a player (like I'll check if the player in aggro is in range he'll do a certain ability else it'll punch him if he's close for example) or do something else when he has no threat (Like mythic mobs but for my own stuff I really need to make it myself)

[sharp hemlock]

Use inventory holders

[proud pebble]

yeah, create your own inventory holder and add a identification variable to it.

its the best way

well i need it asap

i am asking in any channel

[stuck canopy]

hey

how can I store the mobs spawned by spawners

or how can I remove mobs spawned by spawners with a interval

[lyric gyro]

An easy way to do it would be to listen to the spawner spawn event and attach a metadata key to your entity

[nimble vale]

you can do

first you can create a task which checks for example every 10 seconds
when a mob spawned by a mob spawner you store a timestamp with the entity
and when the 10 seconds over that will check if every entity you store had 10 seconds if its then remove it

or you can create a task every time when a mob spawns then remove

[lyric gyro]

Thats a bad idea lol

[nimble vale]

second right

[lyric gyro]

Yeah haha

[nimble vale]

yeah i wasn't sure to write that 😄

[lyric gyro]

If he wants a timer for every entity he could do with a hashmap probably?

[nimble vale]

yeah i guess that works

[dense drift]

There's CreatureSpawnEvent and SpawnCause.SPAWNER or something like that

[stuck canopy]

aight let me try

[stuck canopy]

:o

[dense drift]

Ah, didnt see

[nimble vale]

or maybe if there is a way to attach some data to entity i have never done that before

or just maps

store entity id

[lyric gyro]

There’s PDC and metadata

[dense drift]

If you are on 1.14+, there's PersistentDataContainer

[lyric gyro]

I don’t think metadata remains on restart though yeah?

[dense drift]

It doesnt

[lyric gyro]

Yeah thought so. You probably wouldn’t have to use PDC though since I don’t see why you’d wanna store the entities forever lmao

[pure crater]

So I created an HTTP file Server in Java using Netty, and I was wondering if there are any attacks I should keep in mind of? I created a regex to prevent against requests that try to do a reverse directory traversal attack (where they use ./ and ../), however, I was wondering if there were any other attacks that I could prevent programmatically?

                int spawnercount = 1;
                Chunk c = event.getBlock().getLocation().getChunk();
                int cx = c.getX() << 4; // chunks x

            }
        }.runTaskAsynchronously(plugin);
    }
}```

why does this not work

[sterile hinge]

don't access the world asynchronously

also, the logic is fundamentally flawed

it's even flawed in multiple ways:

1. you're never checking any block other than the one which was placed
2. you're therefore either end up with 1 (even if no spawner is set) or 1 + one for each position in the chunk
3. you're trying to cancel the event after it was already handled

[leaden sinew]

There is also SpawnerSpawnEvent

[sterile hinge]

instead, just use Chunk#getTileEntities(), count CreatureSpawners and cancel the event based on that - no need to do anything asynchronously

[stuck canopy]

oh

so I dont need a BukkitRunnable for it?

no

Anyone able to help me with this? Caused by: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: 'net.kyori.adventure.text.Component net.kyori.adventure.text.TextComponent.font(net.kyori.adventure.key.Key)'

[formal crane]

Could you provide some code? (and the full error)

[plucky delta]

This is the full error.

Well

Somethings that are unimportant

[broken elbow]

...

[plucky delta]

return Component.text(stringBuilder.toString().trim()).font(Key.key("colored_pixels:cubes")); this is the code

[broken elbow]

are you shading adventure?

[plucky delta]

Yes I aM.

Just using scope compile

and using Purpur

1.17.1

Latest build

[dusky harness]

dont shade adventure

    @EventHandler
    public void onCreatureSpawn(CreatureSpawnEvent e) {

        new BukkitRunnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {

                if (e.getSpawnReason().equals(CreatureSpawnEvent.SpawnReason.SPAWNER)) {

                }
            }
        }.runTaskTimer(plugin, 0L, 100L);
    }
}```

how do I make this somehow work

[merry knoll]

why are you creating a runnable for it?

if you just want to not allow spawners to spawn

then cancel the event

rather than removing the mob

if you want them to spawn then get removed after x delay

then use runTaskLater

[stuck canopy]

I want to remove the mobs

but in a interval

with a interval*

[merry knoll]

you want to remove mobs every x seconds?

[stuck canopy]

yesd

[merry knoll]

then you need to create a timer only once

[stuck canopy]

how so?

[merry knoll]

not every spawn event

on enable?

then loop all mobs and check which ones are spawner spawned

(or even better, cache the ones as they spawn and remove that way)

[stuck canopy]

why this complicated

[merry knoll]

its not really complicated

what you are doing above is running a repeating timer

every time a mob spawns

that attempts to remove the same mob constantly

what you want to do is run a timer when the server starts that checks the mobs and removes the ones that are spawned by a spawner (if you are doing this for lag reasons, this probably is a really bad idea btw)

[stuck canopy]

Im doing it for my Spawners plugin

[hoary scarab]

public class SpawnEvent implements Listener {
    @EventHandler
    public void onCreatureSpawn(CreatureSpawnEvent e) {
        if(e.getSpawnReason() != SpawnReason.SPAWNER)
            return;
        Bukkit.getScheduler().runTaskLater(<JavaPlugin>, () -> e.getEntity().remove(), 100);
    }
}
```Will remove the entity 100 ticks after it spawns. (You should check if its dead or removed already.) Make sure to register the listener.

[stuck canopy]

aight thanks let me try it

Cannot resolve method 'runTask(SpawnersPlugin, <lambda expression>, int)'

[hoary scarab]

runTaskLater. Edited it lol

[stuck canopy]

    @EventHandler
    public void onCreatureSpawn(CreatureSpawnEvent e) {
        if (e.getSpawnReason() == CreatureSpawnEvent.SpawnReason.SPAWNER) {
            if(!e.getEntity().isDead()) {
                Bukkit.getScheduler().runTaskLater(plugin, () -> e.getEntity().remove(), 100);
            }
        }
    }
}```

changed the code a bit and it works perfectly

tysm for the code

[hoary scarab]

np

[shell moon]

wait, what?

he checks if entity is dead after spawning and then remove it 100 ticks later

[stuck canopy]

dude no one cares

it works

thats all I care about

[hoary scarab]

Yes cause a player can kill it before the task removes it

[shell moon]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

then that would be inside the task

[hoary scarab]

Ah yeah. Didn't read his code properly xD

[shell moon]

[worn jasper]

Uh, if I run a SyncTask inside an Async task it will wait for the async task to finish right?

[pure crater]

like callSyncMethod? From the scheduler

It would schedule it for the next tick

And run on the main thread

Unless you are talking about something else? Wdym by sync task

[worn jasper]

this use case

the idea is to serialize the class, store it and then remove it from cache

after that is done

[pure crater]

I may be wrong, but I think it will schedule on to the next tick on the main thread

[worn jasper]

So, it won't really wait for the async task to finish?

[pure crater]

Well in your case, the db operation will be done first, then the sync task will be scheduled on the next tick

Because it’s after

Unless the db operation is also async

[worn jasper]

the idea is for the db operation to be async too

[pure crater]

Nah I was referring to

db.set

[merry knoll]

db operation is async there

cache.get is done on the main thread

your async thread wont wait for the main thread scheduler to finish

it only fires it, rest is handled on the main thread

[worn jasper]

So it doesnt rlly wait for the async task

Hmm ok

[merry knoll]

it does your db.set then it switches back

[grand zodiac]

hi guys what do you guys think of my server host website https://garlic.host

[uneven shadow]

I want to make a plugin that listens to a pixelmon event. https://paste.helpch.at/visocigero.java

Basically, Pixelmon's<event>.getPlayer(); returns a EntityPlayerMP
I want to convert this player into a CraftBukkit Player

In the mohist api, under playerAPI, there is a method getCBPlayer that should take EntityPlayerMP, and return a CraftBukkit Player
It's instead asking for something called oq as an arg, but I don't know what that is.

I was hoping someone could help me figure out what oq is, or more generally how to cast EntityPlayerMP to a Player

[nimble vale]

its fire 🔥

[iron karma]

anyone can teach me how to make a InventoryCreator?

[high edge]

Have you tried checking the docs?

[snow reef]

I would suggest a SideMod instead as it'll be pure forge, suggest asking in the Pixelmon Discord server or asking SideMod creators.

[dense galleon]

This isnt the right channel for datapack support, is it?

It's related to a mod I am making

But it's just regarding structure nbt and worldgen jsons

[hushed badge]

well its development support, any kind of development, just ask and someone may know the answer

[dense galleon]

made a structure which generates naturally in the world, though ever since I have added it any time I try joining a world in singleplayer I get this warning here

[high edge]

Expected behaviour

[dense galleon]

What do you mean?

I mean how can I avoid that from happening

[high edge]

Doubt you can, I'm guessing it's a client oriented warning

[dense galleon]

But I have never seen this issue with any other mod that adds custom structures

[hoary scarab]

I got that when I ran a 1.19 world in 1.18 now it always says this no matter what version.

[dense galleon]

Yeah i guess it's expected behavior now

[nimble vale]

there is a mod to just hide that message if you want something like that

[iron karma]

hi

One question, I have a plugin that when you die takes a life from your storage (for example, if you have 3 lives, when you die you have 2), how can I make a life recover after X hours?
I had thought that when you die, the exact date of when you died is saved, and check every second if the current date is greater than the saved date

[smoky hound]

yea you can do that. just saved the time when you die, have a task that cheeks the death times or something and if a users time is old enough remove it from the death times list and add their life back or something. alternatively you could maybe schedule a task on death that has a delay and when it runs it adds the life back

[lyric gyro]

First one definitely, second would require a task on every death which isn’t ideal lol

[shell moon]

DeluxeMenu depend on PlaceholderAPI parsing? (for colors)

[lyric gyro]

huh

[warm steppe]

huh?

[rigid mountain]

how could i get a potion level from player item consume event,

?

[dusky harness]

you can get the item, then the meta, then PotionMeta

then there's probably a method in there to get the level

[rigid mountain]

i have the potion mets but there’s no method for the amplifier

since level is deprecated

it just returns 1

[dusky harness]

you can do getBasePotionData

and then isUpgraded & isExtended

although as for custom potions...

[dense drift]

amplifier 1 means level 2 iirc

[rigid mountain]

ah

i need to number leave though not the boolean

[dusky harness]

wait what method is it

i could only find boolean ones

[rigid mountain]

potion meta .getLevel i believe

[dense drift]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/potion/PotionEffect.html#getAmplifier()

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/inventory/meta/PotionMeta.html#getCustomEffects()

[dusky harness]

does getCustomEffects also include the base effect tho?

[rigid mountain]

no

[lyric gyro]

no

[dense drift]

the base effect only has a boolean (isAmplified) because default potions have only two levels aka normal and amplified

[rigid mountain]

ahh ok that make sense

[lyric gyro]

the base potion is one of a hardcoded type in-game, it doesn't have a "level" because it's either amplified or not (level 1 and 2 if you like)

[rigid mountain]

would that be level 1 and 2

[dusky harness]

oh

[lyric gyro]

the custom ones are any other effects you can construct and have any other level

[rigid mountain]

ah ok that makes a lot more sense, i was still thinking about like speed pots and such but then i realized i couldn’t find any

[dense drift]

yeah

[rigid mountain]

ok thank@you

[lyric gyro]

the potion effects API is so trash

[dense drift]

spigot api*

[lyric gyro]

yeah fair, but there are bits that are so noticeably worse than the rest lmao

[dense drift]

true

[grim oasis]

I wonder what working with good api is like, maybe one day

[dense drift]

paper or modded

[lyric gyro]

sponge

[pure crater]

Wouldn’t say either cause Minecraft in general has notoriously bad code (Bukkit and Forge sorta)

Id probably say Spring or something

[dense drift]

well I was talking about minecraft

[lyric gyro]

We can't really comment anything about Minecraft itself, there is no API to use it, it's all hacks and workarounds to hook up into it

And actual APIs you've got Sponge and Bukkit... let's just say that Bukkit shows its age :')

[wintry grove]

but at least those APIs can be good lmao

[high edge]

They're a lot newer, bukkit is as expected for something that old

[errant pilot]

Im trying to figure out a way to make moving with a boat faster, the boats dont have gravity so theyd be moving in the air always

the idea with this code is to try and figure out if between 2 of the event checks the boat was moved by the player themselves by pressing W instead of just the speed boost that was applied, i feel like this code should work but it does not at all

@EventHandler
    public void onVehicleMove(VehicleMoveEvent e){

        if(!(e.getVehicle() instanceof Boat boat)) return;
        FlyingBoat fboat = FlyingBoat.boatMap.get(boat);
        if(fboat == null) return;

        Vector vec = e.getTo().toVector().subtract(e.getFrom().toVector());

        double speed = vec.length();
        Location loc = boat.getLocation();
        loc.setPitch(0);

        double speedBoost = fboat.getMaxSpeed()/20;
        Vector boostVector = loc.getDirection().multiply(speedBoost);


        if(speed>fboat.lastSpeed){
            if(speed < fboat.getMaxSpeed()){
                vec.add(boostVector);
            }
        }


        fboat.lastSpeed = vec.length();

        boat.setVelocity(vec);

    }

[merry knoll]

are you using the instance as the key?

[errant pilot]

the flyingboat thing is just to get the max speed and see if its a boat i want to boost

[merry knoll]

yes but

using the boat instance as key

is asking for trouble

are you providing your own hash

or just using it as key

[errant pilot]

im not really sure what you mean but that part works fine just the boosting is being an issue

[merry knoll]

you sure its just not returning?

[errant pilot]

yep im 100% sure, ive checked with sending the player messages about how fast its going etc

[worn jasper]

Uhm, when adding an item to a player inventory it returns an hashmap if it couldnt add all items right? My question is, it's a Integer, ItemStack hashmap, if I use size(), will it return 1 (only one itemstack) or the amount of items it couldnt add?

[winged pebble]

Map#size() returns the number of entries in the map

[worn jasper]

So in this case it would return 1 and not the total of items left right?

[dusky harness]

well, it depends on what parameters you input in

If for example your inventory is completely full, then it will just return a map of the same items you put in the parameter

[worn jasper]

Let's say I try to give 100 of a certain itemstack, but it only added 50, will .size() return 50 (the amount left) or 1 (the amount of unique itemstacks)

[dusky harness]

So an ItemStack with the amount 100?

then it will return 1

it all depends on your parameter

no

checkArgument checks if it's false

and if it's false, then throw an exception

also can u post the exception?

since the stacktrace will lead to the code calling it

[hoary scarab]

The code above is whats calling it. But yeah hold on

[dusky harness]

yes but I mean what method call

[hoary scarab]

I'm making it bypass the setItem

[lost fiber]

Hi! I made a menu in the DeluxeMenus plugin, the point of which is that, for example, there is a spawner, and it costs 100,000,000 dollars to deduct that much, and if the player doesn't have money, don't give it to them. How can I do it? It doesn't work for me.

[pure crater]

#general-plugins or #general-plugins-2

This is for coding mainly

[spice river]

https://paste.helpch.at/cezumiguze.cs

i remade the enchant system but it doesnt work (no error)

[edgy lintel]

I wonder what seeing a game with an actualy unobfuscated api is like

actually i have seen it space engineer has one of the best game api in the world for features addition

[wintry grove]

to start, a PDC is not NBT

iirc

and why do you make a like that

just do

List<String> item_lore = new ArrayList<>()
item_lore = item_meta.getLore()

[spiral prairie]

No

Dont

No underscores in variable names

And yes i just came here to say that

[cinder forum]

↙️ 🐫 💼

[past ibex]

just to let you know you can't change boat speed

You get player inputs with vehicles!

So there should be a method to get the player inputs somewhere in bukkit

Velocity is the only way to modify boat speed, really

ping me if you reply or want help with movement stuff

[errant pilot]

yeah im trying to use velocity for it, how do i get the player inputs?

only way i could think of is comparing the velocities of the boat between events to see if the player pressed W to move it forward or not

[past ibex]

no the player literally sends their inputs to the server

[errant pilot]

mkay how do i intercept those

or do you mean like a command?

[past ibex]

PlayerInputPacket

[errant pilot]

aah okay i havent done anything with packets yet in my plugins

[past ibex]

I'm surprised there's no API method for this

I guess because the server never actually uses these inputs

mojang has just left them in either because they forgot or they want to let people make custom vehicles

Take your pick of protocollib or packetevents

Or use reflection to read the variables

[errant pilot]

probably gonna go with protocollib since my server already has that on

[past ibex]

https://wiki.vg/Protocol#Player_Input

[errant pilot]

oooh epic just gotta figure out how to use it now xD

very nice, thank you!

[errant pilot]

protocolManager.addPacketListener(new PacketAdapter(
                this,
                ListenerPriority.NORMAL,
                PacketType.Play.Server.Player_Input
        ) {
            @Override
            public void onPacketSending(PacketEvent event) {
                
            }
        });

im assuming it'd be something like this but i cant find the Player_Input one @past ibex

its red when i type it

[past ibex]

client

PacketType.Play.Client.Player_Input

and onPacketReceiving

[errant pilot]

player input is still red with Client

ill check if i have the latest protocollib

yeah i am

found something that seems like it applies to me https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/help-listening-wasd-vehiclesteer-with-protocollib.325989/

yep this is exactly what i needed

[odd prawn]

Why do you need Player Input for that?

You need to listen to the STEER_VEHICLE packets

[past ibex]

depends on mappings

Steer boat isn't the same packet as player inputs

but steer vehicle sometimes is mapped as player input

[wintry grove]

how does one spawn only the particle of fireworks? I have searched and according to spigot forums you need to use the particle packet

but there is no data for fireworks in the protocol in wiki.vg

none is data

[winged pebble]

If you're in a later version, you could just use api methods tbh

As they basically just send packets

[spice river]

What is the difference

[hoary citrus]

Can I update an inventory? I’m trying to make an animation using stained glass like some plugins have in their casino or mystery box GUIs

Also for some reason Everytime i check if an item is equal to an item I want to change, it returns null

Well I fixed the null issue, but it’s not changing the items

Used a different method, it works

[high edge]

You're welcome

[errant pilot]

@past ibex How do i make it so when the boat's velocity is changed by colliding with a block or something like that, it actually changes?
right now im doing all the movement by storing the velocity in the FlyingBoat instance and it works perfectly except for when the boat collides with something, once the block is out of the boats way it jumps forward

I tried setting the velocity in the FlyingBoat instance through the VehicleMoveEvent and that worked for the block collision thing but then the movement itself is pretty choppy

oh crap theres a vehiclecollision event!

ill try using that

Hm the event doesnt seem to trigger but the boats movement got really choppy still

[high edge]

Why don't you just manipulate the moveevent when there's a collision, and the rest is handled how you were handling it originally

[errant pilot]

yeah im sorta trying that but the event isnt triggering, ill have to check if i did the listener correctly...

listener's fine, weird

pft apparently that event is bugged

[past ibex]

Yeah boat movement is client sided

The server will just replay client movement and not see collision

You should be able to notice collision when their movement in a direction hits 0

Not “perfect” detection but you’ll have to deal with it as long as you use client sided vehicles.

[dusky harness]

try isValid

[hoary scarab]

I think thats what I needed. Thank you.

[glacial temple]

how would I be able to get it to return the value entered in my config.yml? I have

sender.sendMessage(Npunish.plugin.getConfig().getString("default-kick-message"));

set and it returns null and everything else I've tried showed an error that practically told me to just remove it

[hoary scarab]

Show error and config.

[glacial temple]

config where I have the messages defined
#Messages default-kick-message: "Breaking the rules"

no error returned in the above ^

it kicks but the kick message is just empty

[wintry grove]

is it possible to only make a runTaskTimer run only like 5 times?

or a set amount of times

[hoary scarab]

Debug it then. Check if its returning the string from the config or not.

[hoary scarab]

increment an integer and cancel it when it hits a certain amount.

[wintry grove]

tried that

wait no

alright ty

[hoary scarab]

new BukkitRunnable() {
    int count = 0;
    public void run() {
        count++;

        // Your code        

        if(count == 5)
            cancel();
    }
}.runTaskTimer(<JavaPlugin>, <delay>, <timeBetween>);

[hoary scarab]

[worn jasper]

Hi so, owner.getInventory().remove() removes an Itemstack, the issue I am having is that it removes all itemstacks that match, any way to only remove it once?

Or maybe I am using the wrong method?

[hoary scarab]

Inventory.removeItem()

[worn jasper]

pretty sure it isn't that

but it's fine I will just use another method

by setting the slot

thx

I edited it sorry. Don't have my ide open
