(Dragin) Events not firing? (1.8.8)

[autumn marsh]

So I have Citizens 2.0.16 on my server, but it doesn't exist on the repo, and events aren't firing. Is there some kind of support for it?

!1.8

[coral swan]

Info: 1.8

Minecraft 1.8 is an 8+ year old Minecraft version (released <t:1409643900:R>) that we cannot reliably support.
While Citizens and Sentinel in their latest versions will still run on it, we cannot and will not provide support on this Discord or other platforms for it.
You can and should update your server. There are plugins for clientversion support and older-style PvP available.

For more information, refer to https://wiki.citizensnpcs.co/Minecraft_1.8.

[autumn marsh]

bruhhh

[torpid musk]

citizens' latest version is minimally supported for 1.8, but we can't provide any kind of help further

[autumn marsh]

it literally just disables, it doesnt let me use it at all

[torpid musk]

use nothing but citizens and your server version

verifiably, you should target 1.19.3 or 1.18.2 - a modern version

if it works, you can take it back to 1.8

from there you're on your own - it works.

minimally

sounds like you haven't updated your citizens version anyway

@autumn marsh

[autumn marsh]

Oh, does the latest version have support for it?

[torpid musk]

yes, that's why i mentioned you're not reading what we send you :(

[torpid musk]

use this link for the latest, it works for 1.8
if you have problems, another plugin is probably the cause

you really want to update to modern versions when you can, it's important

[autumn marsh]

sorry, i thought you meant it wasn't supported (#1070722648788701374 message)

and mcmonkey sent me this which is not helpful #1070722648788701374 message

but thanks!

actually the events still arent firing?

do i need to register them separately?

Code for the event:

@EventHandler
public void onNPCClick(NPCClickEvent event) {
    event.getClicker().sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "Clicked " + event.getNPC().getName());
    if (event.getNPC().getName().equals(ChatColor.RED + (ChatColor.BOLD + "Bedwars"))) {
        event.getClicker().sendMessage(ChatColor.GREEN + "It works!");
    }
}

[torpid musk]

it is not supported - we do not help further than providing the latest version that works

but it does work, yes.

minimally - i must emphasis

there are features we have provided that cannot function on 1.8

[autumn marsh]

OK
but do you know what could be causing the events to not fire?

[torpid musk]

other plugins

[autumn marsh]

I have WorldEdit, ViaVersion, ViaBackwards, ViaRewind, Multiverse and WorldEdit

[torpid musk]

probably one of the via's

[autumn marsh]

which one

[torpid musk]

oh

you're outdated

you're not in their discord

they didnt put it anywhere else yet

1 sec

[autumn marsh]

??

all my vias are up to date

i downloaded them a few hours ago

[torpid musk]

you're probably wrong, you're not in their discord

can you paste a startup log?

i know what logs are...

[torpid musk]

its just helpful, we have a pastebin link in the message so you dont have to look for it

you can disregard what you know

[autumn marsh]

err, its not selecting it all 1 sec

[torpid musk]

take your time

[prisma coyote]

that post gives specific instructions on the best way to post them

please do not just assume you know and try to post them here directly

[autumn marsh]

i would have used pastebin

[torpid musk]

https://paste.denizenscript.com/New/Log you mean?

that's what's most helpful for us, if you maybe meant something else

but still, take your time, im still looking for the via information i need to give you

[autumn marsh]

https://paste.denizenscript.com/View/105936

[torpid musk]

discord for some reason is giving me messages from half a month ago as my most recent messages ffs

[autumn marsh]

No, I meant the website Pastebin

[torpid musk]

yeah, via is outdated

i just found it though - you're on uh

4.5.1 is outdated

ViaVersion - https://ci.viaversion.com/job/ViaVersion/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/build/libs/ViaVersion-4.5.2-SNAPSHOT.jar
ViaBackwards - https://ci.viaversion.com/view/ViaBackwards/job/ViaBackwards/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/build/libs/ViaBackwards-4.5.2-SNAPSHOT.jar
ViaRewind - https://ci.viaversion.com/view/ViaRewind/job/ViaRewind/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/all/target/ViaRewind-2.0.3-SNAPSHOT.jar
ViaRewind Legacy Support (Bukkit) - https://ci.viaversion.com/view/All/job/ViaRewind Legacy Support/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/target/viarewind-legacy-support-1.4.2-SNAPSHOT.jar

4.5.2 is what you want

isn't available except on their discord

[autumn marsh]

what????
i just downloaded viaversion a few hours ago!

[torpid musk]

yep, that site is outdated

they havent updated it, not sure why

might be able to see more we can look for problems:

@torpid musk

Possibly Relevant Plugin(s)

ViaVersion v4.5.1 - Mixed client vs server versions can sometimes cause packet-related issues.

[torpid musk]

ah, no, just viaversion and being 1.8

you can try 4.5.2 viaversion but everything else should work fine

[autumn marsh]

Wait, why do I need legacy support?

[torpid musk]

i copied and pasted all of their actual latest versions

idk what you need, but 1.8 is considered legacy

you have a few options from this point though

update via, see if it works;
via may be able to help from here if events do not fire still

it's very relevant

[autumn marsh]

im not using bukkit tho
im using paper

[torpid musk]

correct

paper is bukkit

an example is why we download Vault from Bukkit

[autumn marsh]

not what i meant

[torpid musk]

we likely are talking about the same thing but the terminology is wrong

[autumn marsh]

paper is an extension of spigot which is an extension of bukkit, and bukkit is the most limited

[torpid musk]

yes

[autumn marsh]

so i thought

that the legacy one

was so that stuff bukkit didnt support

could still be used

[torpid musk]

i should emphasis this alternatively instead completely:

• you should test and see if 1.18.2 or 1.19.3 can reproduce the problem; if it does, we can fix it, and you can try and take it back to your 1.8 server
• the best option here is to upgrade to 1.18.2 or 1.19.3 and provide support to let players play on your 1.18.2/1.19.3 server but on 1.8 clients, they dont have to upgrade since you use viaversion, this is what most people do currently
• you can spend hours looking for versions that work, but this isn't something we can help with and it's unhealthy

those are the best three options i can recommend, the second being the most healthy for you and least stressful

we can help with any problems you encounter that way, at least

[autumn marsh]

updating these did nothing

[torpid musk]

you now have two options i suggested which are your best options

i still highly recommend the second, as anyone else would

[autumn marsh]

I have a plugin I coded for 1.8 already, and I don't want to change it

I might know - it might be because the main world isn't the default world?

I made a world called main and set it as the default world, so that I could regenerate the actual world with a void generator

uhhh
@torpid musk do i need to add anything to my plugin?
public final class Main extends JavaPlugin implements CommandExecutor, TabCompleter, Listener
i have an event listener + registerer, and i think i imported it correctly
is there anything else i need to add?

[autumn marsh]

@torpid musk

[torpid musk]

i don't know the answer to this question

[autumn marsh]

is there anything other than the dependency, listener and event register needed to use events in citizens

[autumn marsh]

?

[frigid cargo]

He doesnt know the answer to your questions, please be patient

If you need help with your Citizens code you can paste it but note this is not a java discord.

!pastejava

Also you're on an ancient minecraft version. We can't provide support for that.

[frigid cargo]

Please also check the link.

[torpid musk]

if you request code help, you're unfortunately not going to get that here
you can ask for java help in spigot maybe

only because you are on 1.8

the only way to get java help here is if:

• it is modern version like 1.18.2 or 1.19.3
• and it is using Citizens API, not bukkit, spigot, or paper

[autumn marsh]

its using citizens api what

[rain pine]

that was appended as a relevant requirement, not necessarily implying that you don't already meet that part

the thing you're currently not meeting is the supportable minecraft version from the current decade part

(though it is a valid possibility that you aren't meeting that latter requirement, would depend on your code, but sounds like a basic linking/event handling issue which is a general Java and/or Bukkit question, not Citizens)

(but either way the version part is the more important part)

[autumn marsh]

apparently i didnt hook citizens, but it didnt do anything when i did...

is this correct

depend: [Citizens]
