[molten hearth]

and I have stats like strength and crits instead with custom calculations

[swift dew]

what do u use from vanilla

[molten hearth]

nothing lol

[swift dew]

wait

i may misunderstood lemme translate

[molten hearth]

I mean I use the knockback i guess

https://tenor.com/view/champoy-el-risitas-kek-issou-etu-gif-17837830

[swift dew]

bru xd

[fervent panther]

So you mean just redo the damage system and since it's not being used anymore use the damage attribute?

[swift dew]

wdym disregard

[remote swallow]

                        try {
                            JsonWriter writer = plugin.getJsonWriter();
                            writer.beginObject();
                            writer.name("gui");
                            writer.beginArray();
                            writer.beginObject();
                            writer.name(args[2]).value(ItemStackGsonUtils.write(itemInHand));
                            writer.endObject();
                            writer.endArray();
                            writer.endObject();
                            writer.close();
                        } catch (IOException ex) {
                            ex.printStackTrace();
                        }

With gson json would anyone know if there is an easier way to type that, for it to appear in the same location with PrettyPrinting applying?

[swift dew]

like you wont do it with vanilla

or u will

[molten hearth]

me or miningcow

[swift dew]

you

[molten hearth]

oh no I dont do it with vanilla, I do it with maths

[swift dew]

so with custom variables

[molten hearth]

but that is because I ripped off hypixel skyblock 1:1

yeah

[humble tulip]

Tbh those methods should return the writer so you can chain them

[swift dew]

or you use vanilla lnes

oh ok

[molten hearth]

I have custom player stats that hold values

[fervent panther]

How do you store your item attributes?

[swift dew]

i think thats better

[molten hearth]

and use those and ignore vanilla modifiers

[onyx fjord]

if player looks at light block, what will code say the player looks at?

[swift dew]

i think nbt tags is the best

[onyx fjord]

will it be ignored?

[twin venture]

check how many times a player open a specfic chest

[molten hearth]

they are NBT values, but I re-calculate the player's total strength every time there is something changed in the inventory not on hit

brb in 5 min

[river oracle]

I don't think their is a light material so prob just be air

[swift dew]

oh ok

[quaint mantle]

Hi, i am having troubles setting up sql storage for my server as it doesnt let me connect to the local .db file for whatever reason

is anyone somewhat good at sql spigot implementation ? i hope it's not an oversaturated question

[river oracle]

Are you using jdbc

[quaint mantle]

yes

[river oracle]

And did you follow the jdbc docs for setup

[fervent panther]

You mean just store NBT tags for every single attribute?

[swift dew]

depends

[river oracle]

Did you shade jdbc into your plugin?

[fervent panther]

I was trying to avoid doing that so I would just have 1 PDC

[quaint mantle]

saveDefaultConfig();
        File f = new File(getDataFolder() + "/main.db");
        if(!f.exists()){
            try {
                f.createNewFile();
                System.out.println(f.getAbsolutePath());
            } catch (IOException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }

        try {
            sql = new DataBase(f.getAbsolutePath());
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

This is my onEnable() function

[swift dew]

you cant do speed only with attributes in 1.9+

attack speed

[fervent panther]

I think we should start a thread

[swift dew]

okay

[mighty pier]

how can i add extra flags to an itemstack?

[quaint mantle]

package dev.relismdev.rcoresync.MySQL;
import java.sql.*;

public class DataBase {

    private Connection connection;

    public DataBase(String f) throws Exception {

        this.connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:sqlite:" + f);
        Class.forName("org.sqlite.JDBC");
        createTable();

    }

    public void closeConnection() {
        if(this.connection == null){
            return;
        } try {
            this.connection.close();
        } catch(Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }   this.connection = null;
        System.out.println("Connessione chiusa con successo");
    }

    public void createTable() throws SQLException {

        String sql = "CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS table(Number int, Color varchar(255));";
        Statement st = this.connection.createStatement();
        st.execute(sql);

        System.out.println("Successfully created a table");

    }

}```

This is my DataBase class

[swift dew]

nbt tags?

[fervent panther]

Custom item attributes

[mighty pier]

yes['

[river oracle]

Just use PDC or ItemFlags

[river oracle]

Your syntax is wrong in your statement

[mighty pier]

how do the do

[river oracle]

you need a space

Between table and the arg types

[quaint mantle]

String sql = "CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS table(Number int, Color varchar(255));";

[swift dew]

if u want nbt tags you either need nms or an api for it

[ornate mantle]

i have a value that magically fucking turns null during an InventoryCloseEvent

[quaint mantle]

i think there is a space

[river oracle]

That's wrong

Hold up idk correct syntsx gimme a sec

[quaint mantle]

sure lol

[ornate mantle]

i have 3 checks for that value

1. when its assigned by another method
2. inventoryclickevent
3. inventorycloseevent

it magically disappears on inventorycloseevent

[river oracle]

https://www.sqlitetutorial.net/sqlite-java/create-table/

Example

[river oracle]

Like a variable?

It may be cleared by garbage collector

Who knows especially if it's static just learn not to abuse static

[ornate mantle]

its a variable

[river oracle]

Can't help more than that without information

[tardy delta]

its not mysql

its just a .db file

its about all types of databases

[trail bluff]

hello i have a problem. if you apply setGravity(false) to an armorstand and setVelocity() to make it move, it won't move. I want to turn off the gravity of the
armorstand and apply setVelocity to them.

I understand that I will need to use NMS and I understand that I will need to create my own custom armorstand.

But how do you turn off the movement block with gravity off and spawn that custom armorstand in the world?

[quaint mantle]

can someone help me? i beg.

[tardy delta]

with

[quaint mantle]

https://paste.md-5.net/nanawuzeve.md

it is saying that my DataBase class is null

        createTable();

}```

[rough drift]

PlayerInteractAtEntityEvent#getClickedPosition() returns the exact position a player clicked on, right?

[tardy delta]

table is reserved

[quaint mantle]

i think that there's something wrong with "f"

[tardy delta]

keyword 'table'

change it

[quaint mantle]

from where ?

from the statement ?

[tardy delta]

wait wha

[quaint mantle]

where do i need to edit the keyword ?

[tardy delta]

i see two errors

[quaint mantle]

public void createTable() throws SQLException {

        String sql = "CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS table (\n"
                + "    number integer PRIMARY KEY,\n"
                + "    color text NOT NULL\n"
                + ");";

        Statement st = this.connection.createStatement();
        st.execute(sql);

        System.out.println("Successfully created a table");

}```

this is the createTable function

[tardy delta]

and that gives an error?

[quaint mantle]

it gives an error when i start the plugin and when i stop the server

the first one says throws org.sqlite.SQLiteException: [SQLITE_ERROR] SQL error or missing database (near "table": syntax error)

the second one throws Cannot invoke "dev.relismdev.rcoresync.MySQL.DataBase.closeConnection()" because "dev.relismdev.rcoresync.RCoreSync.sql" is null

[tardy delta]

it reads it assql create table if not exists table (number int, color text not null)

and it causes an error when disabling cuz onEnable failed and left some fields unitiialized and thereby causes a npe

[quaint mantle]

it reads it in all lowercase ?

[tardy delta]

no 'table' is a reserved keyword

[quaint mantle]

which means ?

[tardy delta]

change the damn name

[quaint mantle]

OH

THAT NAME

will table1 do the job ?

[tardy delta]

ye, probably want to give it a meaningful name

[quaint mantle]

mainTable

lets test

IT WORKED

How can I stop my item frame from being rotated

[tardy delta]

interact event ig

[rough drift]

PlayerInteractAtEntityEvent doesn't seem to work if I cancel

[tardy delta]

are you sure thats the event?

[rough drift]

It's getting called

[tardy delta]

what are your checks

[rough drift]

UUID check, it's passing as it's printing

check id -> print -> cancel

Hello everyone ❤️
I was told im doing this wrong because im assigning a player instead to things like the UUID, im brand new to packets. what should i put instead?

[quiet ice]

What did "they" exactly say?

[humble tulip]

Just set the scoreboard to a new one to reset it iirc

[quiet ice]

https://wiki.vg you're packet looks cursed after further inspection, lemme check

A) You should not use the player's UUID for this
B) This packet is not complete at all

@wispy flicker

[rough drift]

I am bad at maths, so I need some help with: if I have a number between a and b, how can I put it in the range c to d?

Example

a = -4
b = 4

c = 0
d = 1

how can I convert like n = 2 into the range?

[quiet ice]

So you have a <= x <= b and c <= x <= d and you want to merge that?

[rough drift]

not exactly

[wispy flicker]

oh i know its not complete

so i just shouldnt bother with the UUID at all?

[quiet ice]

You can use a random UUID, but it may not be the player's UUID given that it is the player's UUID - not the UUID of an item

[wispy flicker]

ah

[rough drift]

I have a number which is between a and b, say 0 - 10 and the number is 5, how can I convert it to another scale such as 0 - 1 (in this case it would be 0.5)

[wispy flicker]

do all of these in the list need to be filled?

[rough drift]

The 0 - 1 scale is an example, I kind of need to make it work on more than 0 - 1

[rough drift]

likely yes

[quiet ice]

x = (n - a) / (b - a) * (d - c) + c I guess

Not only likely but definitely

[rough drift]

Thanks, I'll try it and let you know!

[quiet ice]

I typed it out without thinking too much about it, but it should be right unless my brain fails me. Doesn't look wrong to me at least

[rough drift]

It seems to not be 100% exact (tried 0-128 range as a test and min is 16 and max is 112)

Still closer than what I could come up with lol

[quiet ice]

with what kind of values

[rough drift]

0-.9

[quiet ice]

give all five numbers so I can troubleshoot

[rough drift]

I'll give the ones I am testing with

[quiet ice]

Trying it out with
a = 0
b = 10
c = 0.5
d = 1
n = 5
Results in
x = 0.75
Which would be correct

[rough drift]

a = -3.75
b = 3.75

n = 0

c = 0
d = 128

[quiet ice]

I get x = 64. Did you use the correct signs?

i.e. you should be evaluating (0 + 3.75) / (3.75 + 3.75) * (128 - 0) + 0

[tardy delta]

hope thats correct

yep

[rough drift]

oh I am dumb

It's fixed now

It was passing in the wrong values ;-;

[tardy delta]

its doubles remember

[quiet ice]

huh, by default that should be an int division

non-java moment I guess

[tardy delta]

im using doubles thats why

every operator compiles to a DoubleBinaryOperator

what do you mean "light block"

[round finch]

trying to setup visual paragram for design practice and studies

not going great

installed plugin into eclipse

[hasty prawn]

For Java?

[round finch]

now idk what is is next

[round finch]

yes

[hasty prawn]

Well that's your first problem

Using Visual Studio for Java

[round finch]

what better?

[hasty prawn]

IntelliJ or Eclipse

Not sure why you need a plugin for Eclipse

[round finch]

.

[hasty prawn]

Yeah why do you need that

[round finch]

the program needs it for some reason

i believe

[hasty prawn]

Your class requires Visual Studio plugin?

[round finch]

no no visual paragram requires a plugin on ecplise

[hasty prawn]

No just

[chrome beacon]

We used Netbeans in school

[hasty prawn]

Delete Visual Studio you don't need that

[round finch]

so I had to install the visual studio plugin on eclipse

[hasty prawn]

Did you guys do Swing

[chrome beacon]

That's still better than Visual studio

[hasty prawn]

Netbeans is fine for Swing and Swing only

[chrome beacon]

Yes

[round finch]

i mean visual paragram

REEEEEEE

[hasty prawn]

Oh LOL

[round finch]

ffs

[chrome beacon]

I chose to use two IDEs for my project... Netbeans for the swing menus and Intellij for the rest

[round finch]

brain error

[hasty prawn]

You made the right choice

[round finch]

so like visual paragram

[hasty prawn]

I mean from their website it looks like all you gotta do is click Eclipse Integration and it does everything for you

[round finch]

i ran the Integration

installed the plugin

and now i'm here

[hasty prawn]

I mean I don't even really know what Visual Paradigm is

I'm just basing this off what their steps say on the website

[round finch]

flowchart

it also generate code

just experimenting

[quaint mantle]

i am trying to make a function that takes in input a parameter, and it must return the value in double quotes. I found out that to do that in java you need to use this syntax : java String foo = "\"value\"";
My question is, is there a way i can take the parameter by input and put it instead of value ?

[dry forum]

            for(int z = (int) e.getBlockPlaced().getZ() - 11; z <= (int) e.getBlockPlaced().getZ() + 11; z++) {
                e.getBlock().getWorld().getBlockAt(x, e.getBlock().getY() - 1, z).setType(Material.RED_WOOL);
            }
        }```
 makes a square of red wool but i just want to make it a border of red wool, how would i do this

that doesnt help...

[round finch]

should i look for better alterative ?

[quaint mantle]

like :

public void function(String input){
  String foo = "\"+ input + \"";
}```

doesnt seem to work

function that takes a string as input, and returns the string double quoted

[hasty prawn]

String foo = "\"" + input + "\""

will output "input"

[quaint mantle]

thanks

[round finch]

public void function(String input){
  String foo = "\" + input + "\";
}

[quaint mantle]

thank you

[zealous osprey]

Strings don't use references when asigning them anew.
you need a return, you cant reasign a string, if I remember

[round finch]

misplaced "

[zealous osprey]

doesnt altering a string also change its reference, cause they are immutalbe?

[quaint mantle]

oh yeah sure, i forgot the return

public String function(...)

[round finch]

yeah it is not

public String function(String input){
String foo = "" + input + "";
return foo;
}

[quaint mantle]

org.sqlite.SQLiteException: [SQLITE_CONSTRAINT_NOTNULL] A NOT NULL constraint failed (NOT NULL constraint failed: mainTable.color)
SQL thinks the string from the function is null ?

[round finch]

it doesn't like "\"

[quaint mantle]

public void pushData(String index, String value) throws SQLException {

        String formatIndex = "\"" + index + "\"";
        String formatValue = "\"" + value + "\"";

        System.out.println(formatIndex);
        System.out.println(formatValue);

        String sql = "INSERT INTO mainTable (" + formatIndex + ")" + "VALUES (" + formatValue + ")";
        Statement st = this.connection.createStatement();
        st.execute(sql);

this is the function that pushes data and it throws `org.sqlite.SQLiteException: [SQLITE_CONSTRAINT_NOTNULL]  A NOT NULL constraint failed (NOT NULL constraint failed: mainTable.color)`

how do i set light level of light item?

[wet breach]

you can use javafx with it too

[quaint mantle]

sql syntax :/

I have a function that replaces hex colors:

        fun translateColors(str: String): String {

                var parsedStr = str
                //println(str.replace("&#([0-9a-f]{6})".toRegex(), "\u00A7$1"));
                for (x in "&(#[0-9A-f]{6})".toRegex().findAll(str)){
                    parsedStr = parsedStr.replaceFirst(x.value.toRegex(), net.md_5.bungee.api.ChatColor.of(x.value.slice(
                        1 until x.value.length
                    )).toString())
                }
                return ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', parsedStr)
            }
            return ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', str)
        }

It was working on my previous works but I can't use it with 1.19, it just doesn't replace hex colors anymore. Did anything change about Hex colors in 1.19?

[tardy delta]

wwait

ah its kotlin

[crisp forum]

yes :d

but I don't have any problem with Kotlin, I believe the problem is about Chatcolor.of

[tardy delta]

ChatColor.of("#0f&e84") or smth would work right

[round finch]

\\

[remote swallow]

i thought that you need to convert hex to rgb for it to work

[round finch]

works for java

[river oracle]

No hex works

[round finch]

"\\ " + input + "\\ " 

[tardy delta]

this was it for java anyways

dunno kotlin syntax so cant really help

[crisp forum]

looks like that does same thing

I believe I have some problems :d

        }``` i want to make a border of red wool but this only makes 2 lines

[wet breach]

if you managed to make 2 of the lines

then all you have to do is get the inverse

[quiet ice]

Is that the bukkit chatcolor?

[dry forum]

i did by adding x == e.getBlockPlaced().getX() + 11 || x == e.getBlockPlaced().getZ() + 11 but it didnt change anything

[crisp forum]

nah, md5 one

[wet breach]

well you got some weird math going on here

[dry forum]

?

[round finch]

ChatColor bungee component

ChatColor.of

that what i've been told

.

[wet breach]

ok, to get two lines you only need to increase on one axis

so increase 1 axis to get 1 line

and then on the other axis increase that

gets you the second line

now, all you have to do is the reverse of what you did with the first, but you can do it at the same time you do the first ones since its just the inverse

[humble tulip]

You know the animation that you get while you are mining a block but before it is broken?

As in the block being damaged?

What is that even called

Idk how to google if it's possible to set it

[wet breach]

also you are doing unnecessary casts to int

[humble tulip]

Frostalf yk^^

?

Is there a good like API or library for inventory management I can use

or like

GUI stuff

[wet breach]

correct

[crisp forum]

I just added debug points and now it works lol

[quaint mantle]

PreparedStatement st = this.connection.prepareStatement("INSERT INTO mainTable (?) VALUES (?)");
                st.setString(1, index);
                st.setString(2, value);
            st.execute();```
This wont work why ? first "?" contains index, and second "?" contains value

throws : org.sqlite.SQLiteException: [SQLITE_ERROR] SQL error or missing database (near "?": syntax error)

by replacing the "?" with the vars, it should look something like : INSERT INTO mainTable ("color") VALUES ("Orange")

[crisp forum]

I would use database ORMs for security etc

[quaint mantle]

ORMs ?

[crisp forum]

database ORM

but nvm

[wet breach]

not sure why you are asking why it contains index and value unless you are copying this from somewhere else and don't understand it at all

I am going with the latter

[quaint mantle]

i want it to take in input the column and the value to insert, and insert the value in the column

the statement INSERTS INTO mainTable (column) VALUES (value)

the first "?" is the column and the second is the value

[remote swallow]

last time i checked, you cant have () in sql statement(s)

INSERT INTO TABLE_NAME (column1, column2, column3,...columnN) VALUES (value1, value2, value3,...valueN);

this is the syntax i think

as you can see, there are parentheses for the column and the values to insert in the table

[crisp forum]

I'm not sure about you can use setString to set indexes

[round finch]

vaule(?)

[wet breach]

use ' ' around your question marks

[round finch]

undefined

but there is many times of vaules

[quaint mantle]

is there no way i can specify the column with a parameter ?

[quaint mantle]

throws org.sqlite.SQLiteException: [SQLITE_ERROR] SQL error or missing database (table mainTable has no column named ?)

[wet breach]

generally you don't insert onto a specific column like what you are doing

now that I looked at what you were wanting

so how you would do it, is you would make all other columns to insert into null values except the one you want to add to

unless you are trying to update a column

[quaint mantle]

so i need to know how many columns i have beforehand ?

[wet breach]

not sure why you wouldn't know before hand as it would be your DB

[quaint mantle]

i need N columns, every column having an entry

and i need a method that takes in input a column and the entry i need to put in, and puts the entry under the desired column

[remote swallow]

that to me sounds like you are trying to update a cell in a pre-existing row

[wet breach]

yeah

[quaint mantle]

PreparedStatement st = this.connection.prepareStatement("INSERT INTO mainTable ('" + index + "') VALUES ('" + value + "')");

this worked out really well

using 'index' and 'value'

[quaint mantle]

because i need to make so many in the way

[wet breach]

sounds like you need to learn db design principles if you have no clue how many columns you are going to have

[quaint mantle]

no, respectfully you dont know what the project is about, and i have no idea how to explain it to you without making a paragraph

[crisp forum]

NEVER do that

[wet breach]

anyways

this is the proper way

[crisp forum]

if you are getting value from user

you can get SQL injected

[quaint mantle]

how do i prevent that ?

[crisp forum]

using settring :d

[quaint mantle]

i did it and it didnt work

[crisp forum]

you are also getting index from user too?

[quaint mantle]

no, only value

[mystic terrace]

Hello, I'm, getting this error all the time and I don't know why, everything looks as the other plugin I did and it doesn't works.

ava.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "org.bukkit.command.PluginCommand.setExecutor(org.bukkit.command.CommandExecutor)" because the return value of "mrstreeet.simplesetspawn.SimpleSetSpawn.getCommand(String)" is null

        at mrstreeet.simplesetspawn.SimpleSetSpawn.onEnable(SimpleSetSpawn.java:27) ~[SimpleSetSpawn-1.0.jar:?]

It's giving me error in this lines:

    }

@Override

        Bukkit.getConsoleSender().sendMessage(name + ChatColor.GREEN + " It's now working correctly!.");

        registerConfig();
        registerCommand();


    }

Anyone knows?

[crisp forum]

then do the index like that

and use setString for values

[quaint mantle]

setString doesnt work, it throws errors

[wet breach]

String sql = "INSERT INTO mainTable (?) VALUES (?)";

PreparedStatement st = this.connection.prepareStatement(sql);
                st.setString(1, index);
                st.setString(2, value);
            ResultSet result = st.executeQuery();

@quaint mantle

[remote swallow]

is it in plugin.yml

[mystic terrace]

oh shit I forget

tysm

[remote swallow]

np lol

[hazy parrot]

Why executequery when insert action won't return anything?

You probably wanted executeUpdate

[mystic terrace]

I'm new coding so I'm having this stupid errors

[wet breach]

it returns success or not

[quaint mantle]

it throws org.sqlite.SQLiteException: [SQLITE_ERROR] SQL error or missing database (near "?": syntax error)

[wet breach]

executeUpdate is for updating rows not inserting

[quaint mantle]

im pretty sure the only way to specify the column is by using this INSERT INTO mainTable ('" + index + "')

[hazy parrot]

Executes the SQL statement in this PreparedStatement object, which must be an SQL Data Manipulation Language (DML) statement, such as INSERT, UPDATE or DELETE; or an SQL statement that returns nothing, such as a DDL statement.

[round finch]

did you remember to add command into plugin.yml?

[remote swallow]

too late

[hazy parrot]

It returns resultSet, which is object wrapping generated result from query

[wet breach]

yes you can use the ExecuteQuery for updating, but it is more appropriate to use ExecuteUpdate() for such things

[hazy parrot]

also reffering from docs

[wet breach]

Even though we are inserting, a result is still returned to indicate its success

[round finch]

@mystic terrace just wanting to know

[hazy parrot]

how would you check if its success ? 🤔

[remote swallow]

he did

[wet breach]

because MySQL returns an int upon success of inserting

[round finch]

explains why

it makes troubles
easy to forget

[hazy parrot]

executeUpdate returns int, not executeQuery

[wet breach]

ExecuteQuery returns whatever MySQL returns

doesn't matter if its an int or string or a list

[round finch]

finally fixed visual paragram

feck you pc

totally not my fault xD

[hazy parrot]

and how would you check if its successful later on (just curious, nothing personal)

[wet breach]

anyways I was looking and you can't set the column using a ? it would appear

[mystic terrace]

Yep I did, I'm just learning and making this mistakes it's normal

[round finch]

had to fix every tiny bit

[wet breach]

https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/13/docs/api/java.sql/java/sql/ResultSet.html#rowInserted()

[round finch]

do spigot have a flowchart?

curious

would be interesting to see the link between classes

[wet breach]

don't think it does

but you could generate one though

[mystic terrace]

In commands like this:

}else if(args[0].equalsIgnoreCase("reload")){

                    plugin.reloadConfig();
                    p.sendMessage(plugin.name + ChatColor.GREEN + " Plugin reloaded correctly!");

I have to put return true/false; always? Because I don't know at all the use of it.

[remote swallow]

its a boolean so you need to return true/false, true if its valid and passed through false will send the usage defined in plugin.yml

[mystic terrace]

so it's mandatory

to put it right?

[remote swallow]

yeah

[mystic terrace]

so, if this one it's not defined I had to say false?

In plugin.yml I mean

[remote swallow]

if your sending a message, return true. If you want it to send the usage on the command in plugin.yml return false

[humble tulip]

Is there any way to get the autoincrement id when i insert a row in mysql?

[mystic terrace]

Understood, ty

Can you give an example for false value? @remote swallow

please

[remote swallow]

yeah one second

If you are returning a message:

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

    if (args.length < 1) {
        sender.sendMessage("You must have 1 arg for this command to work!");
        return true;
    }
}

plugin.yml looking like

commands:
  mycommand:
    permisson: my.permission

if you want to return the usage in plugin.yml

the class would be

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

    if (args.length < 1) {
        return false;
    }
}

and plugin.yml would be

commands:
  mycommand:
    permisson: my.permission
    usage: "/<command> arg1

and it would return usage

[mystic terrace]

aaaaa

okey okey

I would take a ss of it

thanks <3

Btw, what it's better for optimization

having one command per class or creating commands in the same one

imagine I want to make a /spawn and /tp command

[remote swallow]

ive got no idea, most people do 1 command per class

[mystic terrace]

I would do that then

Easier to understood and in case of bug easy to find where

[quaint mantle]

guys how can INSERT into a column, but UPDATE if it exists ?

like if there is no value to insert it, but if there is anything to overwrite it ?

[mystic terrace]

sendTitle it's the class for displaying messages on the actionbar? I can't find it actually

[hazy parrot]

there is on conflict or something like that

[wet breach]

you can't use rs.next()

[hazy parrot]

error is thrown before rs.next

on executeQuery line

[quaint mantle]

on conflict ?

imagine i have this db with only one row and N columns

what if, in the same row, i want to insert under one specific column, but if there is already a value to update it ?

imagine i have the number column and color column, i INSERT "red" under the color column, then with the same method i want it to be white instead of red

[quaint mantle]

but i dont want to make a new row, i want to keep the same row with only the color entry updated

[tardy delta]

hehe constants class

annotating them with @Language("SQL") is cool, atleast on ij

[quaint mantle]

how do i give sql an always true condition ?

[tardy delta]

what

[wet breach]

you would use replace for this

if you wanted to insert but ignore duplicate

[quaint mantle]

it just creates a brand new row and i dont want that

[wet breach]

you would instead use INSERT IGNORE

[quaint mantle]

i want to insert if it is empty, and update if there is a value that gets overwritten

[tardy delta]

what db?

[eternal oxide]

Sounds like you didn;t set a unique/primary key

[quaint mantle]

i want to UPDATE regardless of the condition

[quaint mantle]

number is the primary key

[quaint mantle]

sqlite

[eternal oxide]

then it all depends on what type of DB you are using

[quaint mantle]

sqlite, a .db file

[hazy parrot]

sqlite have on conflict clause

[eternal oxide]

SQLite supports on conflict

[wet breach]

then use INSERT ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE

[hazy parrot]

insert into Members(discordID, apiID) values (?, last_insert_rowid()) on conflict(discordID) do update set apiID = last_insert_rowid()
example of on conflict ^

[tardy delta]

sqite is like

[wet breach]

INSERT INTO t1 (a,b,c) VALUES (1,2,3) ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE c=c+1;

[hazy parrot]

that is not sqlite syntax

[quaint mantle]

INSERT INTO (column) VALUES (value) ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE column = value like this ?

[wet breach]

pretty much, what that will do is insert what you are wanting, and if it encounters something already existing, it will update it to whatever you are wanting instead

[quaint mantle]

INSERT INTO mainTable (column) VALUES (?) ON CONFLICT (column) DO UPDATE SET column = value

[quaint mantle]

so both work the same ?

[wet breach]

however that is for mysql, if you are using sqlite though you will have to use what Goksi showed

[hazy parrot]

yes, "column" would have to be primary key or unique

[quaint mantle]

and what if i want it to be any column from the db ?

[wet breach]

I guess implementation must have changed somewhere with ExecuteQuery() because previously you could use it for insert statements lol

didn't mean to ignore you on that

but thanks for testing that out 🙂

[hazy parrot]

its alright ahahahah i was really confused so have to test it out 👍

[quaint mantle]

? :(

[hazy parrot]

just define column as primary key or unique when creating table

[wet breach]

you really need to re-structure your DB design

[tall dragon]

any1 here got an idea on how to efficiently get X blocktype within a region?
like i got a cuboid and have to get a list of all the blocks of a certain block type.

[quaint mantle]

i want a single row horizontal db

[tall dragon]

or am i just going to have to loop over every single block

[quaint mantle]

one single row with N columns, and i need the method to insert under a column if its empty, otherwise overwrite it with the new value

[wet breach]

there should not be a scenario where you don't know before hand how many columns or tables you are dealing with or have no clue what the Schema is unless you are coding for foreign DB's

[hazy parrot]

i mean, if its single column, what is point in updating on conflict

[quaint mantle]

it will have hundreds of columns, i just need a method that takes the column name and the value to insert as input, and insert if its empty, otherwise update

[quaint mantle]

its multiple columns and single row

[hazy parrot]

tbh you seem to not understand what column is

[wet breach]

if this how you are making your DB layout then mysql is not what you want or sqlite

[quaint mantle]

lol what are you on

[wet breach]

mysql is not designed to have a single column with an insane amount of columns

in fact you will probably reduce its performance or efficiency in this manner lol

and with sqlite, your queries will most likely take longer

[tardy delta]

someone has to google how databases work

[wet breach]

believe it or not, mysql and sqlite actually do have a limit in how many columns a table can have

[tardy delta]

:o

[hazy parrot]

seems he is confusing column with data inside of it

[wet breach]

or maybe confusing row with column?

[hazy parrot]

something is happening anyway 😄

[wet breach]

idk, regardless their layout if that is what they are wanting, goes against SQL principles

[quaint mantle]

i know what a row is, what a column is and what the data is

just dont assume people are complete idiots ig

it sometimes gets offensive, you never know

[hazy parrot]

sorry, didn't mean for it to be offensive

[wet breach]

kind of hard to do that when you are designing your DB in a fashion that actually hinders performance and goes against what a RDBMS is for

[quaint mantle]

missclicked the emoji lol

im getting sleepy from this coding shit

ive been on this single method for hours now, im losing hope lol

[wet breach]

all I am saying is maybe you might want to look at some other DB system for your layout other then SQL

[quaint mantle]

unfortunately sqlite is all i can use

[quaint mantle]

i already use mongodb

[wet breach]

then why are you bothering with SQL?

[quaint mantle]

i am trying to make a web-based dashboard which backend allows the user to edit the plugin's config values from the frontend

[wet breach]

sqlite isn't going to allow that

[quaint mantle]

when the user updates the config values, the values get pushed into mongodb, which then clones the data into a local sql table, which is used by the plugin to work properly

[wet breach]

why clone it?

[tardy delta]

wtf

[wet breach]

you have a mongodb already which the plugin could just use

[quaint mantle]

i dont want the plugin to use the data directly from mongo, but instead use data from sql

because in case they pirate my plugin they would just need a db and they could change data by hand easily

[wet breach]

what?

[quaint mantle]

this way they would have to reverse engineer every single method and command of the plugin if i use sql

[quaint mantle]

the dashboard would become useless as everyone could just update their data from their mongodb dashboard by hand

[wet breach]

so you want to control everyones plugin?

[quaint mantle]

if the plugin uses sql, they could not change the data as easily

[quaint mantle]

no, as both the sql db and mongo db are the user's

i just want to make it impossible to update the data by hand as that would make it easy to pirate

[tardy delta]

im really confused about why two storages are needed

[wet breach]

and they can change the data however they please if the DB's are under the users control

[quaint mantle]

if the plugin uses sql it would be way harder for them

[wet breach]

no it won't

[tardy delta]

^^

[wet breach]

I don't even need a plugin to change data in a DB

[remote swallow]

DB Browser when

[wet breach]

I can just directly connect and look at it

[tired matrix]

        World world = Bukkit.getWorld(worldname);
        Chunk chunky = world.getChunkAt(x, z); 

        if(!(chunky.isLoaded())){
            chunky.load();
        }```

I am getting a "may produce NullPointerException"  how can I get rid of it

[tardy delta]

id love to see how many sql injections i can do on public plugins :)

[wet breach]

did you think these DB server software didn't allow the ability to inspect and change data or something?

[quaint mantle]

have fun

[quaint mantle]

not that

tho i dont think a plugin could use mongo data as a config

[wet breach]

it can

[quaint mantle]

ill try anyways, i just find it weird

[quaint mantle]

do i need the plugin to reload everytime a change is made or is it like hot swappable ?

[wet breach]

But, I don't understand where you got the idea that using a DB would stop someone from doing something

[quaint mantle]

it made sense in my mind lol idk

[tardy delta]

my plugin is using mongo too

[wet breach]

^

[tardy delta]

i dont need a relational database for whatever reason

[quaint mantle]

good, mongo is really nice

[quaint mantle]

ill just drop the dual db thing then

[tardy delta]

thats what you say

[quaint mantle]

wouldnt i need the data from mongo to be put somewhere for the plugin to be used anyways ?

[wet breach]

https://tenor.com/view/dr-house-relatable-agreed-i-can-get-behind-that-sure-gif-9854860

[tardy delta]

gave up on my reflective pojo mapper

[wet breach]

You could store it in the plugin itself?

[quaint mantle]

in the server's memory ?

[wet breach]

well configs are not going to take up massive memory if that is what you are worried about

[quaint mantle]

i would need some kind of socket that alerts the plugin to reload each time a change is pushed from the frontend

[quaint mantle]

so every single variable would need a query ? thats what i think ive understood

[wet breach]

So the way you would do it is like so

[quaint mantle]

when the plugin starts, to store in variables all data, or just download one big Document and get the data from there idk

[wet breach]

you create an entry that is a boolean that gets set when a change from front end happens

the plugin has a task that checks every so often that entry and if its set, pull the changes and reset that entry

[tardy delta]

is that frontend per plugin instance?

[wet breach]

it would have to be unless they plan on controlling everyones plugin lmao

[quaint mantle]

nope, one laravel website hosted on my servers

[quaint mantle]

nope, handshakes

i cant see their mongouri

[tardy delta]

gl implementing that

[wet breach]

that type of system isn't one that will pass the rules I don't think

@vagrant stratus you are the expert here

[tardy delta]

should probably go to bed, 12pm

[quaint mantle]

i mean, a lot of services have control over their users data

[tardy delta]

a plugin should work offline in all circumstances right

[wet breach]

ones that are not hosted on spigotmc maybe

[quaint mantle]

i am not doing mischevious stuff with data that looks like "message" : "You are not allowed to break blocks!"

[wet breach]

but if you are putting it on spigotmc, all plugins follow the same rules

otherwise it gets evicted

[quaint mantle]

im planning on selling the plugin and the authkeys directly on my website

[vagrant stratus]

Yea, your idea's stupidly easy to get around lmao

[humble tulip]

I'm bored

Someone give me a challenge

[vagrant stratus]

This is not allowed on spigot, licenses of any kind are forbiddden

But useful

[humble tulip]

What's that

[vagrant stratus]

Yes, but if you upload to spigot that's gotta all be removed lmao.
As for your remote DB idea, that can be pirated quite easily. It's just a matter of getting a working copy and the info needed to connect, and then pulling all the tables and shit from it and re-doing it to be local

[river oracle]

Damm imagine not having this already

[quaint mantle]

well good luck changing every single entry every single time and reloading every single time you change an entry from a mongodb database that can only be initialized if you press a button on my own frontend

[vagrant stratus]

and if you link to your site via spigot, the resource will get removed

tldr; Your resource will most likely be rejected and/or removed

[tardy delta]

mine was too less flexible

[river oracle]

Idk how flexible mine is I barely use sql

[quaint mantle]

then i have no idea how to do it

[vagrant stratus]

Can't

[humble tulip]

Which is

[tardy delta]

code to map custom types to a database table

[wet breach]

some of us here, actually know how to change it to where it won't do this, as well as we don't need the DB to know what it needs. We can just look at the code to see what it requires instead.

[vagrant stratus]

You're quite SOL

[quaint mantle]

ill just do it, if someone's so desperate for my plugin that prefers rebuilding a mongodb schema every single time my plugin updates instead of paying 10 bucks good luck to them

[humble tulip]

Ooo

Fully reflective? No annotations?

[vagrant stratus]

Sure, but any resource on spigot linking to it will get removed @quaint mantle

[chrome ferry]

does anyone know how to launch a player in a boat properly? It seems like boats are very limited to how velocity and teleporting works.

I've kind of done it, but sometimes it doesn't launch the player all the way up into the sky and launches them half and then glitches straight back down.

        Vector currentVelocity = /*entity.getVelocity*/ new Vector(0.5, 0, 0.5);
        boat.setVelocity(new Vector(0, 0, 0));
        Bukkit.getScheduler().runTaskLater(BoatRace.getInstance(), () -> {
            boat.setVelocity(currentVelocity.multiply(power).setY(1.5D));
        }, 2L);

It works just fine if you're in a minecart by just adding a Y to the current minecart velocity. But unfortunately im creating a launchpad for a boat race.

I was thinking maybe i could trick the player they're riding a boat when they hit the launchpad, and make the server know its actually a minecart until they land again

[wet breach]

problem is, you can't use spigot services to sell this or advertise it

[quaint mantle]

mhm, got that. Ill make my own marketplace in laravel then

[vagrant stratus]

That can't be advertised either 🙂

[quaint mantle]

ive never planned on selling this on spigot

[wet breach]

like you are free to sell stuff on your own web sites and stuff, just can't use spigot services to help do so

[quaint mantle]

never planned on advertising it as i know some of spigot's rules

[quaint mantle]

got it lmaoo

[vagrant stratus]

You also severely underestimate just how easy it is for people to pirate shit, even more so if they have read AND write access to the DB

[wet breach]

just remember Java was never designed to protect against reverse engineering

[quaint mantle]

what if i just host my own mongodb instance and every user gets a document ?

[humble tulip]

Can't they just get the db credentials and log in?

[quaint mantle]

db is propietary

[quaint mantle]

yeah i noticed

[vagrant stratus]

They can still DL their copy of the document lol

[quaint mantle]

atleast, the db is the user's

[vagrant stratus]

Pretty much, yea

[wet breach]

if you really want something better, you would make a restful API that requires the user to create an account to gain api endpoint access because it needs a keyid for auth

[vagrant stratus]

as long as one can read the database they can just take whatever they've got access too @humble tulip

[quaint mantle]

i have a rest api that generates keys on purchase, users must login with discord and provide a valid mongodb uri

[wet breach]

it won't stop pirating per-say just more annoying to do so

[quaint mantle]

the backend then uses the uri to create a database that will store the data that gets read by the plugin and updated by the frontend

[vagrant stratus]

which can then be pirated easily lol

[tall dragon]

any1 here got an idea on how to efficiently get X blocktype within a region?
like i got a cuboid and have to get a list of all the blocks of a certain block type.

[chrome ferry]

any plugin can really be pirated really tbh

[tardy delta]

would love to see how many databases of plugins that could be corrupted by injecting some sql code

[tall dragon]

or am i just gonna have to loop over every single block in the region

oops wrong reply

[vagrant stratus]

iirc as long as you use prepareStatement then you're fine

[quaint mantle]

ill just make one big db, the plugin will get the data via api requests and download documents from it with a simple http request

[vagrant stratus]

@quaint mantle can still make those calls manually 🙂

[tardy delta]

mye thats what they say, dunno about the internal impl tho

[quaint mantle]

the api will need a valid token for the requests to take place

[vagrant stratus]

All you need is to reverse engineer a single working plugin and then create a toolkit around that

[vagrant stratus]

@quaint mantle

[quaint mantle]

the plugin works via one api call onEnable that gets the data from my backend

[vagrant stratus]

Doesn't mean shit

you just rip the needed code out, throw it in a separate java project, and do as needed @quaint mantle

[remote swallow]

i would guess so?

[tall dragon]

thats returns a boolean tho. not their locations

[quaint mantle]

the api idea makes sense tho

[humble tulip]

Yes but it's used in many servers

[vagrant stratus]

Of course, but it can still be pirated kek

[tardy delta]

so it all depends on the impl

[humble tulip]

If the dev decides ti go rogue he can mess up many servers

[tardy delta]

fuck its already that late

[chrome ferry]

its a plugin, but doesn't have any functionality apart from an api

[quaint mantle]

like you cant pirate it unless you literally hack my api into giving you the data without the need of a fresh token

[vagrant stratus]

Reverse engineer backend via trial/error, modify plugin, leak plugin

[humble tulip]

Where's your pogo mapper

[vagrant stratus]

Again, all you need is one valid plugin that allows generating tokens lmao

[humble tulip]

So i can look at what u did

[quaint mantle]

generating tokens ?

[tardy delta]

didnt finish

[vagrant stratus]

Fuck, just buy like 10x of them and try to make a token generator

[humble tulip]

Can i see ur progress?

[chrome ferry]

brute forcing i think they mean

nvm

[vagrant stratus]

Keygens aren't new at all

[tardy delta]

tag me in a few hours and ill send the code

have to go to bed

[humble tulip]

Np

[quaint mantle]

tokens are generated when you purchase my plugin, they are not stored in frontend or in the plugin itself

[tardy delta]

ill probably forget otherwise

[vagrant stratus]

Sure, but the client needs it to some degree for a plugin to function

and that some degree is just enough for pirates to do pirate things

[tardy delta]

im outta here, gn yall

[quaint mantle]

the client needs a discord account and a valid token

[remote swallow]

night

[quaint mantle]

gn

[vagrant stratus]

Not too difficult for a pirate to do

[tardy delta]

@humble tulip tag me in a minute so ill se tmrw

[quaint mantle]

for a pirate to login with discord on my frontend ? sure

[vagrant stratus]

To get a valid token after that process? Also easy

[quaint mantle]

they can login, but unless their discord account has a token linked to it they can see nothing but a page asking them to buy a license

[vagrant stratus]

You'd never even know who the pirate is lmao

[quaint mantle]

bro

how can you pirate something that needs a literal TOKEN that is verified on an API they have no access to ?

[vagrant stratus]

By first buying the product 🙂

[quaint mantle]

unless you have a token you cannot read or edit the DATA

[hazy parrot]

you can pirate everything lol

[quaint mantle]

one key per client

[river oracle]

I can even pirate US classified documents

[vagrant stratus]

Buy the product, generate token, pirate everything needed to make a non-token based plugin

[quaint mantle]

it is ip based lol

[vagrant stratus]

Does not matter

If anything they'll just re-create the backend locally

[quaint mantle]

yeah sure

for a minecraft plugin

again, if thats worth less than 10 bucks then good luck with your self hosted clone of my api lol

[vagrant stratus]

The piracy scene pretty much survives off bragging rights lmao

[wet breach]

well you didn't say you needed their locations lol, best way then is to grab a chunksnapshot or snapshots if more then one chunk, then check within your boundaries if your block type exists

[quaint mantle]

recreating an entire api just for a plugin that is worth 10 dollars

[vagrant stratus]

As a "Fuck you, I can do it"? I can see a pirate being willing to do that lmao

[quaint mantle]

and recreating it every time the plugin gets updated or be stuck in an outdated version

[vagrant stratus]

Pirating groups have done more for less lmao

[quaint mantle]

again, if thats worth less than 10 bucks to them, good luck

[wet breach]

why would they need to re-create it?

its only configs

[quaint mantle]

and good luck on doing it every time i update it

[vagrant stratus]

And? They just look at the change log from that point forward and go from there

[quaint mantle]

when minecraft updates the plugin stops working for the newer versions

[vagrant stratus]

Not too difficult to create a tool just pull everything

[wet breach]

they don't need to re-create it

[quaint mantle]

i need to doodle this shit

gimme a second

[wet breach]

not sure why you believe the code can't be changed? o.O

[quaint mantle]

then i go to sleep cuz im dying

[quaint mantle]

let me doodle master.

[vagrant stratus]

lmao, I think they just assume their ideas fool proof like the thousands of others @wet breach

[chrome ferry]

sorry- imma just bump this

[vagrant stratus]

Only way it's 100% fool proof is SaaS that can't get any code client side

[wet breach]

I mean if you want to know how sophisticated it can get, they don't even need to decompile your plugin to change how it does something I mean a bit much for such little gain but still

[vagrant stratus]

^ I have a tool specifically to deal with DRM attempts just because people think their idea solves piracy entirely lmao

I get a lot of enjoyment showing just how shit their idea actually is

[river oracle]

My brand new tool solves piracy I call it

[wet breach]

lol

[river oracle]

Coping

[wet breach]

coping?

or copying?

[vagrant stratus]

I don't leak shit, but I'll gladly render your DRM/License system pointless just to prove a point

[river oracle]

Yk my English is bad

My tool is called cope

[wet breach]

to further add to this, there is some of us here who actually take enjoyment in breaking peoples obfuscation as well XD

so far our fastest time was like 2-3 minutes

[quaint mantle]

the thing is, you've been here for almost an hour trying to make me look dumb when i was just asking for opinions on how to handle this, hope this (and the slaving yourself to not pay 10 bucks) make you feel like a better person !

[humble tulip]

How do you break obfuscation?

[remote swallow]

really? i would have never known tbh

[vagrant stratus]

Burner account and $10 just to prove a point? No real downsides besides being out 10

[wet breach]

some people use obfuscation to like try to super hide everything where it turns everything into |

there are ways to reverse that

we even had someone use some encryption too

[quaint mantle]

also, the sole fact that you preferred spending 1 hour of your time trying to make me feel and look dumb with arrogance instead of like taking 10 minutes off your being the final coding guru to help me figuring out a secure way to license my plugin shows what your priorities were right there

[vagrant stratus]

You can't

[wet breach]

think the funniest was when someone used a ceasar cipher

[vagrant stratus]

That's the thing

There's no "secure" way, license systems are broken all the time

[quaint mantle]

you're telling me there's not a single paid plugin on spigot that is not pirateable ?

[vagrant stratus]

They're all 100% pirateable

[remote swallow]

yeah pretty much

[vagrant stratus]

Including those on MCM and PolyMart

[quaint mantle]

well, ill take this as a challenge, ill figure something out in the following weeks

goodnight for now

[chrome ferry]

💀

ur trying to hard to pirate your plugins instead of adding better functionality

[wet breach]

Java was never designed to be safe guarded from reverse engineering because Java was designed for more server side then client side

[glacial yew]

Quick question is it possible to make an explosion enchant for a sword? If so what will help with this task?

[remote swallow]

i would not surprise me if someone has every plugin on spigot in a db (other than md5 and whoever else can access the spigot db)

[vagrant stratus]

kek, good luck. Reverse engineering java's pretty much the one thing I'm good at besides coding in it

[quaint mantle]

you have no idea of what the functionality is like in my plugin, you're just assuming that i dont know what im doing (average programmer on discord)

[wet breach]

optic

[vagrant stratus]

Yea, me.

[remote swallow]

well

[quaint mantle]

let me add you, when ill figure something out ill let you try to get around it, deal ?

[hazy parrot]

Just think about how many AAA game companies spend to make their code uncrackable. Its still cracked 5-6 days after release.

[remote swallow]

who isnt staff here then

[glacial yew]

lmao

[wet breach]

he doesn't get special access

just fyi

[chrome ferry]

no of course not i do not know what you're doing but you're seriously trying way too hard too program an "anti-pirateable" plugin

[quaint mantle]

pirating is a real issue

[vagrant stratus]

Excluding old versions, paid stuff, external links, and some other stuff I've got 34k+ files @remote swallow

[quaint mantle]

then dont assume that someone's software has no good functionality and go on with your day, thanks

[remote swallow]

i just thought, how big would spigots db be

[vagrant stratus]

And people spend millions and 1000s of man hours on it and have teams of 100s to 1000s, and still get bypassed/leaked

[vagrant stratus]

My current one's less than 10 GB iirc

[remote swallow]

dafuq

[quaint mantle]

weird weird industry, enjoyed the talk tho

[wet breach]

pirating is not an issue

[vagrant stratus]

Spigot's is probably much larger

[chrome ferry]

i never said it had bad functionality, i just said you could spend your time adding better/more functionality for your users

[remote swallow]

yeah

[wet breach]

those who pirate were never your customer to begin with

[chrome ferry]

bad mistake some premium developers on spigot make ^^

[remote swallow]

optic do you know how many plugins are currently on spigot

[quaint mantle]

you were making fun of me lmao

[vagrant stratus]

Not really, they've been attempting to entirely solve it for literally decades, including but not limited to licenses

[vagrant stratus]

https://tenor.com/view/a-lot-adam-engvid-frequently-all-the-time-gif-23851253

[glacial yew]

Quick question is it possible to make an explosion enchant for a sword? If so what will help with this task?

[chrome ferry]

yes, and i think everyone else in this chat is also doing the same

[quaint mantle]

look at your profile picture blud

[remote swallow]

i feel like 500k seems reasonable but then there is not enough people for thati would expect

[wet breach]

there was one day we calculated this because something something hard drive space and how much space spigot requires came up

[vagrant stratus]

1970s, roughly. Excluding non-electronic based pirates

[chrome ferry]

please, i would love for you prove our points here though

[wet breach]

there is not 500k plugins on spigot

[chrome ferry]

and profile picture has nothing to do with the topic

[remote swallow]

yeah

[quaint mantle]

you're the irl version of the 🤓 emoji

thats my point

[wet breach]

if I remember right, it was like somewhere near 100k at most being on spigot

[river oracle]

means he has nothing less to argue thags actually productive

[vagrant stratus]

@remote swallow You've got the resource counts, do the math lol

[wet breach]

or not more then 100k anyways

[chrome ferry]

so you're making fun of people who can't see properly lmao 😂

[quaint mantle]

also idk whos that chick in the pic but yall made for eachother

[chrome ferry]

so cliche

[glacial yew]

could anyone help with this question?

[quaint mantle]

im making fun of your being a literal kid on discord acting like he's better than me while looking like that

[remote swallow]

this is just math and tired brain but idk if its correct but ill say theres 30k plugins, and each plugins has a rough ~10 updates with an average size of like 6mb, thats what 1.8tb?

[river oracle]

Yeah but you can't add it to the enchant table that stuff is hard coded

[wet breach]

the size is less then 1tb currently to store plugins

[chrome ferry]

Again, you're making assumptions who ever stated i was better? I never said anything to do with anyones skill level, i stated maybe you should focus your time on something else

[quaint mantle]

also the glasses aren't the issue :)

[glacial yew]

ik, I was gonna try and make an inventory gui that helped with that what would I need to write for this to work

[tall dragon]

ya can actually. but it will just not display the name ;D

[vagrant stratus]

Keep your comments respectful and appropriate, otherwise I'll gladly time you out

[wet breach]

on average, plugins are not more then 2mb

[quaint mantle]

you stated everyone is making fun of me after telling me how i should work on my project when nobody asked your opinion

[quaint mantle]

atleast, not the only issue

[glacial yew]

Think thats what he meant but good point

[remote swallow]

yeah i was just guessing because i dont have the patience to look at a load of pages to get a rough average

[wet breach]

but we did calculate at the max a plugin could be for all plugins, and you wouldn't need more then a single TB harddrive to fit them all if I remember right

[vagrant stratus]

@quaint mantle

[quaint mantle]

just responding to provocations, id gladly stop if you warned him aswell

[wet breach]

I wonder if Discord implemented quiet time

[remote swallow]

theres 58,119 spigot plugins on the website, if they are 2mb each thats 1.16tb

[wet breach]

ah right, then it was like 3TB needed

[chrome ferry]

and once again how is that anything to do with your skill level. nothing, we're just saying all current plugins on spigot are 100% piratable and i wanna a functional plugin from you which isn't piratable thats all im saying :)

[round finch]

makes inappropriate java method

[quaint mantle]

anyone know how to cancel async task?

[quaint mantle]

sure thing blud, im going now

good night yall

[vagrant stratus]

I see nothing about your looks/GF/etc.

You're the only one saying that sort of stuff

[quaint mantle]

my bad then

goodnight

[remote swallow]

yeah, that drive would cost like 200 US?

[wet breach]

either grab the task id when you create it and store it for later or use the cancel() method inside the task itself

[vagrant stratus]

Lmao I'll just re-create it instead, much easier

[wet breach]

I recently bought a 6TB hard drive for like $100 something

so probably $70

[quaint mantle]

Ok thanks

[remote swallow]

would it be surprising if spigot stored this on a like 8tb m.2 drive directly in the server

[round finch]

scables the plugins

[chrome ferry]

update me

[vagrant stratus]

Most likely not, probably using an external DB/dedi, how exactly I couldn't tell you

I only have XF2, not 1

[remote swallow]

yeah would guess so

[wet breach]

https://www.amazon.com/Seagate-BarraCuda-3-5-Inch-Internal-ST4000DM004/dp/B0713R3Y6F/

I wasn't too far off on price

[vagrant stratus]

lol how

[remote swallow]

would i be correct in saying spigot follows 321

[round finch]

HDD is cheap asf

with seagate

alot of space

[remote swallow]

3 copies, 2 different types of media and 1 backup elsewhere

[vagrant stratus]

Does remind me though @remote swallow that I need to think of how I'm going to handle the eventual situation of my free tier VPS being filled up lmao

[round finch]

my wish to require that 18 HDD

or 20

[vagrant stratus]

Most likely years before it happens, if ever, but you never know 🤷‍♂️

[wet breach]

Don't worry the Benefactor has you covered for this

[remote swallow]

it would also run raid i would guess

[vagrant stratus]

I still need to look at my available options lmao

[wet breach]

that is fine, doesn't mean the benefactor/sponsor doesn't have it covered 😛

[remote swallow]

spigot if it was stored on 1 drive, running a db on site with no backups: ah shit spigots dead, drive died

[vagrant stratus]

I wonder how long I could realistically survive off the free tier VPS if I just moved the attachment storage to a separate server from the start 🤔

[wet breach]

well I do know it has a raid setup and I am pretty sure DB server is separate

[vagrant stratus]

Current backup's are only 46.1 MB, and it's like 250-ish GB for a free tier or something like that iirc

I wonder if oracle says how much space is taken up 🤔

[humble tulip]

hey optic fusion if i misuse inventory holder in my prem plugin will it get denied?

[wet breach]

just run the du command or whatever it is

[remote swallow]

would hope so lol

[vagrant stratus]

Once I reactivate my phone I might delete my current oracle account and re-do it all proper though lol

[remote swallow]

that reminds me, i still havent paid the money in to see if i can get oracle free tier with debit card

i think it wont work with my card because it has like 24p on it

and they do temp charge im pretty sure

[humble tulip]

why would what?

[river oracle]

Uhm they've probably seen much worse

[chrome ferry]

.getTitle() probably 😭

[humble tulip]

@vagrant stratus ^^

[vagrant stratus]

Yea, last I remember it wasn't much though

[vagrant stratus]

Probably not, but something else might get it denied though

[remote swallow]

prob like a dollar or something

[vagrant stratus]

Less I think

[humble tulip]

why do you say that like its gonna get denied😭

[remote swallow]

i just thought of something i dont know how my brain hasnt procced before, you have most likely scanned the only plugin i have on spigot

[vagrant stratus]

Cause it's true, there's a bunch of requirements that have to be met lmao

[humble tulip]

the public ones

or do you all have some that you use internally

[vagrant stratus]

public

https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/premium-resource-guidelines.31667/

[humble tulip]

yeah it meets all of those

[vagrant stratus]

Then it shouldn't get denied

[humble tulip]

😂

if i ever get it done

i keep procrastinating

[vagrant stratus]

Definitely gonna have to look into ads and such though @wet breach
Gotta be able to pay for the domain and shit lmao

[round finch]

procrastinating is the most productive thing I do

[remote swallow]

i can agree with that

[round finch]

never miss a beat

always on time

[vagrant stratus]

I highly doubt I'd get enough from other sponsors or donations for it to be self-sustainable lol

[remote swallow]

one of my friends wanted a plugin and i spent all day trying to figure out how i could convert itremstacks to json, went through all the different options before i gave up, swapped to a yaml file and i havent touched it since

[round finch]

must suck to get banned and lose all access to all resources

[humble tulip]

Isn't nbt json like?

[remote swallow]

no idea

[chrome ferry]

imma bumo this again

[remote swallow]

i was able to convert an itemstack to b64 and save it but then couldnt read it or parse it back to itemstack

[tender shard]

then you did it wrong I guess lol

[remote swallow]

yeah probably

[tender shard]

https://github.com/JEFF-Media-GbR/JeffLib/blob/master/core/src/main/java/com/jeff_media/jefflib/ItemSerializer.java this is how I do base64 <> itemstack

[remote swallow]

could you have told me that earlier smh

[tender shard]

sorry lol

[remote swallow]

its fine lol

already swapped from json to yaml because it works and i dont need to spend 9 hours googling while my pc shits itself because bad computer

[tender shard]

check out the toBase64(ItemStack) and fromBase64(String) methods

[tender shard]

oh ok

[remote swallow]

i gave up around the time when i couldnt read from json

[wet breach]

yaml is a superset of json just fyi

[tender shard]

your mom is a superset!

scnr

[wet breach]

probably

[tender shard]

I dont know her lol

she's probably quite friendly

[wet breach]

as long as she doesn't dislike you

[tender shard]

hmmmm

great escape, here I come

[remote swallow]

its the 29th

one day closer to christmas

[river oracle]

I feel like I'm that one weird guy who will never understand Christmas

[sonic goblet]

https://tenor.com/view/the-grinch-evil-smile-creepy-smile-gif-7618321

[tender shard]

ja ich I hate it too

oh

[sonic goblet]

Can’t forget about this guy

[tender shard]

sorry for the german beginning

lmao

that was by accident

[remote swallow]

whats ja ich in english

[tender shard]

"Yes I"

[remote swallow]

yes i i hate it too

[tender shard]

I tried to type into a twitch chat but accidentally typed here

[river oracle]

I don't hate Christmas just don't get it j feel very indifferent to it

[remote swallow]

reasonable

to both

[tender shard]

I fucking hate it

because I always have to go to my parents and that's always... erm... not so nice lol

[river oracle]

Lol

[pliant marlin]

who can help me get a plugin its quite easy but i need help because i dont know how to make plugins

[echo basalt]

no you don't :)

[remote swallow]

you want to make a plugin or commission someone to make one

[echo basalt]

went to make my passport today because my parents want to travel for christmas

jokes on them I ain't travelling

[tender shard]

where are they going to?

[pliant marlin]

you could prob

[mystic terrace]

Anyone knows how to prevent this type of spaces?

[tender shard]

that's there by default

only way to prevent this is to send two messages

[mystic terrace]

brub

[tender shard]

not my fault lol

[mystic terrace]

ik ik

btw

how can I put comments on config.yml

[hazy parrot]

#

[mystic terrace]

Because when I put them, once the plugin loads it doesn't appear

[tender shard]

wdym with "doesn't appear"? Usually, you only save your config.yml once

so if it already exists, it will not get overwritten everytime

[hazy parrot]

if you use save() on older versions, comments will get removed

[tender shard]

usually you just do saveDefaultConfig()

[tender shard]

saveDefaultConfig() should save the file exactly as it is

[hazy parrot]

yap, calling save()

do as mfnalex say

and you don't need copydefaults then

[mystic terrace]

so instead of saveConfig() should be saveDefaultConfig()?

[tender shard]

kinda, yeah

[hazy parrot]

you dont need all of that code

saveDefaultConfig will do everything you did there
