%bungee_total% Placeholder Returning Double the Actual Online Player Count

[thorn locust]

The %bungee_total% placeholder from PlaceholderAPI is reporting twice the number of online players across the proxy network. I expected this value to mirror the actual total count of players connected, but instead it consistently shows a value that is exactly double the real amount. I have verified that all connected clients are counted once, so I’m not sure why this duplication is occurring.

Can you execute /papi dump and send the generated linked here?

So thanks @shrewd widget

Hmm. You are on the latest version of the expansion so that's not a problem. I am wondering, if you use the bungee expansion to count players in each server manually, does it still show double?

Or does it return the correct player counts per server and just the total is messed up?

[thorn locust]

if i use bungee server the number is correct, but if i use bungee total the number is doubled

[shrewd widget]

Would you be willing to try a build of the expansion that adds some extra logs to get to the bottom of this?

[thorn locust]

Yes

[shrewd widget]

To install it go to plugins/PlaceholderAPI/expansions, remove the following file Expansion-bungee.jar and put this one in its place. A simple /papi reload should be fine after but if it doesn't register the expansion, try a server restart.

Whenever %bungee_total% is being parsed, it should log in the console where each player count is coming from.

the console only shows me this

i uploaded your file

I'm alone on the server and it shows me 2

/papi parse me %bungee_total%

Strange that it did not print anything to the logs. This build might show some warnings as well but it should at least print the debugging stuff

[thorn locust]

but player doubled

It seems like all and the lobby add up

[shrewd widget]

Yeah. Which is strange. I don't assume you have an all server. That's just another total that adds to the total

[thorn locust]

How can I help you send more material to be fixed?

Why can't you just use it? It always duplicates by 2.

[shrewd widget]

It just doesn't do this for me. What Proxy server do you use?

[thorn locust]

xCord

I'm sorry to hear. Well, this seems to be a bug specific to your proxy server. I could get you a build that fixes this issue for you but I don't think this is something we'll be adding directly into the Bungee expansion.

This should fix the issue. It also removes the logging I added previously.

[thorn locust]

it seems ok
