i would just use https://www.simplymc.art/Gradients

[bold vessel]

That was what i use

but that wasnt working

[quaint mantle]

It’s slow

Look at the web benchmarks

Use jooby or smth

[sterile token]

What should i add to this regex ^[a-zA-Z0-9]+$, to be able to use the color caracter & ?

[worldly ingot]

Probably a &

[sterile token]

Hmn, but where?

Its first time i try using them just to clarify

[worldly ingot]

[a-zA-Z0-9&]+

Unless you're trying to write a RegEx for like &f, &9, etc.

In which case &[0-9a-fA-Fnmor]

[sterile token]

No no, its just for a display name command

So then you cant use any special character unless color code one

[worldly ingot]

Yeah, then the first one

[sterile token]

right, thanks choco

[worldly ingot]

[] is just a list of characters that should match

Any of the chars in that []

https://regexr.com/ is a fantastic website by the way in case you're ever writing RegEx and want to test out your queries

[sterile token]

Really thanks!!

[bold vessel]

som1 still can help me pls

[glossy atlas]

how to do?

[sterile token]

Do you know hat its a packet? Have you worked with mc packets before?

[glossy atlas]

i can see them in list

but i cant see them

[halcyon hemlock]

watch a tutorial

so u understand how to do it instead of copying code

[tender shard]

ayone knows how to raise IJ's memory limit?

I got 64 GB of RAM but IJ keeps refusing to use more than 2 GB

[vocal cloud]

I believe

[tender shard]

thanks!

[vocal cloud]

I do it to all my JB ide's what's the point in having memory if you ain't gonna use it?

[tender shard]

I do use that much

I usually have 10+ projects open haha

yeah that indeed worked, thank you

another question: I usually got github copilot enabled, but whenever it's enabled, sometimes this menu doesn't open anymore

anyone got any fix for that, too? 😄

[eternal oxide]

yeah, use Eclipse 😉

[tender shard]

sometimes it's just like this

[tender shard]

did they finally mix their maven integration? if yes, I got no problems switching back to eclipse

[eternal oxide]

mix?

[tender shard]

erm

fix*

sorry

[eternal oxide]

I've had no issues

[tender shard]

I had some issues with eclipse being confused when there's both, a pom.xml and an .eclipse folder

[eternal oxide]

ah that

[tender shard]

but that was like 3 years ago

[eternal oxide]

yeah if you mess the classpath it can play up

[tender shard]

hmmm

and does it work nicely with github copilot?

if yes, I might consider switchig back

[eternal oxide]

I've no interest in copilot so no idea

[tender shard]

oh well

it is awesome, you should try it

[eternal oxide]

nah it makes people lazy

[tender shard]

sometimes

lemme give you a example

[eternal oxide]

along comes copilot then ChatGPT, next comes people telling the AI what they want and it writes the whole program for you

its a terribly bad slope to slide down

Won't be long before there are no more programming jobs

[tender shard]

check out this, for example

[tender shard]

yeah obv you cannot just use it 1:1

but sometimes it let's you do stuff very quickly that you'd nnormally have to type out by hand

or this, for example

(also sorry in case my numbers miss any "n" char, my keyboard is a bit broken and I have to hit the n key like a maniac for it to work)

[eternal oxide]

quickly is nice, but it's also teaching an AI to take your job

I doubt you remember when the majority of coding jobs were farmed off to India

[tender shard]

I'm a lawyer, coding plugins is not my job lol

[eternal oxide]

I saw a bot recently (test) passed the UK bar exam

[tender shard]

then it must be a good bot

[vocal cloud]

I think the biggest reason ChatGPT and the like won't replace jobs is that in order to do that it first has to be trained on how and by the time it is then it's already behind.

[tender shard]

I always say that AI has it's limitations, e.g. it cannot help people answer questions like "how can I avoid inheritance taxes when my grandmother wants to inherit some property to me", but it does a good job in making people code a bit quicker

[eternal oxide]

ChatGPT is a HUGE leap forwards in predictive AI. Comparted to 10 years ago it's astounding

[tender shard]

definitely

it still doesn't undertsand basic concepts

e.g. ask it about the event priority in spigot plugins

[eternal oxide]

imagine another 10 years

[tender shard]

it will give you a totally incorrect answer

[tender shard]

okay but in 10 years, I'll have enough money to not have to work anymore, anyways haha

[eternal oxide]

Yep because it's currently predictive but that ability expands with every iteration of the AI

[vocal cloud]

Maybe, we'll see. I really hate how it's so confident in it's incorrect answers. Can you imagine the bugs in production code that will exist from ChatGPT and the like?

[eternal oxide]

oh it will be a buggy mess, but Corporations won't care, it's free labor

[vocal cloud]

At the end of the day they will because lawsuits and legacy code bases will always exist

[tender shard]

anyway, this discussion only started because I asked whether there's a fix for IJ not showing "IntelliSense" suggestions anymore just because GH copilot is running. does anyone have a fix for that? would be appreciated, thanks

[eternal oxide]

🙂

[tender shard]

I didnt want to start a war about "is AI good or not?"

[sly berry]

it is good

[tender shard]

Sometimes

[sly berry]

most of the times*

show your code dude

we cant gfuess

looks like you're not mapping it properly

[tender shard]

You didnt remap

?nms

[undone axle]

https://blog.jeff-media.com/nms-use-mojang-mappings-for-your-spigot-plugins/

[tender shard]

Also you are using this weird api

[tender shard]

almost been an hour, guess they fixed it

steps to stop having problems coding minecraft plugins:

1. Use spigot instead of paper
2. ???
3. profit

[unique sable]

What should I use here to output a more readable death message?
I'm currently using
"lastDamageCause"

[remote swallow]

to string it

[lost matrix]

You cant just print out a whole Object like that.
Get the DamageCause of the event and format/translate it.

[unique sable]

Ah I see

[rugged gust]

hey i made it so when players use command /1v1 an inventory opens and there are list of players and when they click a player name they can confirm or cancel 1v1 request if they click confirm an message pops up to the other player to accept or decline the request and when they both accept they can pvp and i dont know how to make it so when those two players are fighting other players cant attack them.

[lost matrix]

Create a class ActiveDuel which contains a Set<UUID> of participants.
Then a DuelManager which has a Map<UUID, ActiveMatch> which maps players to active duels they are in.
EntityDamageByEntityEvent:
(Pseudocode)

• if duelManager.hasActiveMatch(defenderId)
• ActiveMatch match = duelManager.getActiveMatch(defenderId)
• if not match.isParticipant(attackerId) -> cancel event

Another, simpler approach:
Put the duel partner in the PDC of both players and check them on the damage event.

[spiral depot]

hello guys, anyone has an custom rates xp? for 1.19?
for example put custom values for each level or any formula

[halcyon hemlock]

Have u ever tried it?

Cause no way 💀

Half of the time it doesn't know what it is doin

unless u spot a mistake it it will confidently tell you the wrong answer

for copilot it also messes up

maybe in 10 years

[hazy parrot]

Elgarls point is that you should look at ai 10 years ago, it basically doesn't exist

And according to that pattern, what will happen in next 10 years

[halcyon hemlock]

so, according to them AI would be coding itself then

I mean if AI can do everything why even bother living

[hallow goblet]

For some reason, the config folder is not being created on my client's server, although on my localhost it works without a problem. I am using saveDefaultConfig() in the onEnable() method.

[hazy parrot]

Is there any error

And are you sure they are using same jar

[hallow goblet]

yes, it is the second time. I have really no idea what is the matter.

[hallow goblet]

probably no, but I will ask

[remote swallow]

are they using pufferfish by chance

[hallow goblet]

spigot

[remote swallow]

that makes it more confusing

[slate mortar]

do you actually provide a config in your plugin? saveDefaultConfig doesn't create one, but copies the existing one from the jar file

[hallow goblet]

yes

[hazy parrot]

If its some permission error or smth it should throw in console

So ask them about it

[dry yacht]

There are plenty of exceptions/logs in cases where copying the resource didn't execute as planned. Have you also added a debug log after your call to make sure it actually executes on your client's machine? If so, and if the file's still not there, there has to be more information in the logs. Request the latest.log.

[onyx fjord]

Someone has to teach it

[halcyon hemlock]

Can't smarter AI teach dumber AI

then that dumber AI can learn from the internet by itself gradually becoming more smarter

[onyx fjord]

Gotta get that data somewhere

Originally

[vocal cloud]

The problem with that is without proper filtering/sorting of the data if you input random garbage you'll get out of it random garbage

[dry yacht]

I really don't understand why spigot decided to not use the same versions across craftbukkit's package, Bukkit#getVersion and the NMS package (on older versions). What a headache...

[regal scaffold]

@wet breach

I was just browsing looking for how people do nametags for players and I came across MultiLineAPI

[remote swallow]

pre 1.19.4 armor stands

[hushed spindle]

i've chosen to rewrite an older plugin of mine and i've decided to do that by simply making a new plugin project with the same plugin name, but on startup it's complaining about permissions that were already registered. do plugins have like a type of ID? where could i find or edit it in that both versions would be the same?

[remote swallow]

only 1 plugin can have a specific name

[hushed spindle]

i know, thats the purpose

im not trying to run both plugins with the same name

i have to make the plugin rewrite with the assumption it will replace the plugin pre-rewrite, so the pre-rewritten plugin will have been enabled on such servers at some point, but when it does it seems it'll complain about permissions already having been registered and probably some other things that i dont know about

so that leads me to believe plugins have an identifier beyond just the name, and im wondering if i can find that id somewhere so i can make it the same as the older plugin version

[glossy atlas]

why cant found?

[remote swallow]

because thats probably unobsfucated/moj-maps

or doesnt exist on that version

[glossy atlas]

i search the net
i think this is in 1.19.3

[remote swallow]

from that prior screenshot you sent, its obsfucated so your gonna need to find the obsfucated version of that

[glossy atlas]

Where to find?

[remote swallow]

https://nms.screamingsandals.org/comparison/mojang-to-obfuscated-to-spigot.html

[regal scaffold]

Epic are the only ways you know to changing a players nametag above their head packets and scoreboards?

[remote swallow]

packets, scoreboard somehow hiding the current name and making a new armorstand on their head

[regal scaffold]

Is it that complicated as I think it is?

[remote swallow]

ive got no idea

[regal scaffold]

Cause some places I've lately seen like insanely simple ways of doing it

[remote swallow]

only ever seen it in 1 plugin

[regal scaffold]

But then a plugin like NameTagEdit is extremely complicated

https://pastebin.com/FkPiUBi3

[glossy atlas]

i try to use 'rk'
but not found

[remote swallow]

might be spigot mappings

[chrome beacon]

So why aren't you using Mojmaps

It will make things much easier

[glossy atlas]

i watch the tutorial and do as the video
it build the spigot Buildtools.jar

[opal juniper]

tbf i often dont use mojmap cause i normally use the intellij build thing

i can never work out how to get maven to compile to a proper directory so give up

[thick oracle]

Hey,
Im having some trouble setting a Chat format. Well to be more precise, setting it is no problem, but getting the console to properly log messages.
This is my code (simplified):

@EventHandler(priority = EventPriority.LOWEST)
public void setChatFormat(AsyncPlayerChatEvent e) {
  String format = "{username}: {message}";
  format = format.replace("{username}", "%1$s").replace("{message}", "%2$s");

  e.setFormat(format);
}

Works fine ingame, however the console only logs messages without usernames once I set a custom format. I also tried using e.getPlayer().getName(), but that didn’t change anything sadly

https://imgur.com/a/2mpIWgc

[eternal oxide]

Someone else here two days ago had the exact same issue.

they claimed it was due to including the color code in the format without calling ChatColor.translate

[quaint mantle]

How can I destroy an end crystal without making it explode?

[thick oracle]

Tried removing my color code (so the code is exactly like in the snippet I provided) and still get the same result

[quaint mantle]

No like, destroy an end crystal without the player hitting it

[eternal oxide]

call translate on the format before you set it, just to be sure

[quaint mantle]

Entity#remove doesn't work for some reason

[grizzled oasis]

Im using a tutorial from the wiki (https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/using-mongodb/), im using the URL string how can i use it, i tried implementing using the docs but i had some problem.

[thick oracle]

Same result sadly

[eternal oxide]

No clue then. The code you posted should work

[dry yacht]

Same result with stripColors? Just to make sure.

[thick oracle]

yes

[dry yacht]

Are you running paper by any chance? xD

[thick oracle]

yes

[eternal oxide]

See if it happens on Spigot

[thick oracle]

one second

Oh well it works on spigot

[dry yacht]

Paper's chat processing logic is completely different from spigots. It's such a ratsnest that I didn't completely investigate it.

[dry yacht]

Latest version?

[thick oracle]

I've tried purpur 1.19.3-1908 & paper 1.19.3-404
both didnt work lmao

[thick oracle]

I dont recall ever having had issues with papers chat formatting
Maybe I just dont remember

[eternal oxide]

I hate paper for their nag messages on logging/sysout

If you were able to change teh logging level on teh Bukkit logger people would not need sysout

I was forced to remove debug due to papers nags

[warm mica]

I will never understand the hate from the Spigots community towards the Paper community and vice versa

[dry yacht]

It looks like (to me, at least) that they lately screwed with the chat logic and introduced a bug which only sporadically comes up and drives people insane... xD

[warm mica]

Both parties should just have sex (aka merge) and everything would be fine

[eternal oxide]

We dislike the "community" mostly because it's toxic. I hate some of their choices, like FORCING devs to use the Bukkit logger with nag messages telling people to harass the dev.

[dry yacht]

I'd ignore that. If people don't want to help out, they can just be quiet, xD. Solving issues isn't based around forks, but around common logic.

[limpid nexus]

How about go fuck yourself.

[dry yacht]

Don't think that you could merge those two codebases easily without stepping on somebodies foot. What code do you take, a or b? Forks are great, there's just no need to hate other people for using something that they like.

[eternal night]

[chrome beacon]

What's wrong with that? It makes it easier to trace where the messages come from. It's not hard or time consuming to use it

[eternal oxide]

The reason its bad is as I stated, once the Bukkit logger is initialized it's logging level is fixed. You can not change it at runtime

On top of that they are driving users to harass devs to change their code.

[eternal night]

sout is a lot better for sure

[eternal oxide]

much better, you can change logging level on the fly and have proper debug

[eternal night]

[chrome beacon]

I don't understand the issue? You can just specify what log level when using the logger?

[eternal oxide]

You try changing it at runtime

change it from teh default of INFO to FINE at runtime and try to log a FINE message

[chrome beacon]

It's just a normal logger? So just pass fine as an argument when logging?

[eternal oxide]

You try that, it will be ignored as changing the logging level does nothing at runtime

[eternal night]

idk in what environment you'd ever want to change log level at runtime

[eternal oxide]

very frequently to enable/disable debug output

[eternal night]

which should require a proper startup of a debug mode server

[eternal oxide]

no, thats what logging level is specifically for

[tender shard]

whut

its totally normal to tell a server to "debug now"

or a plugin

[eternal night]

it really isn't

[tender shard]

I can totally relate to the fact that chaning the log level is at runtime is normal

[eternal night]

a production server does not need the ability to change its log level during runtime

[eternal oxide]

it really is, it's been the defacto way of enabling debug for at least a decade

[tender shard]

same

okay, not a decade, but for 4 years or so

[eternal night]

aha

[eternal oxide]

I've been using it for over a decade 😉

users comes to you with an issue, you tell them to change teh logging level and post the output, issue found and fixed.

[thick oracle]

I wasnt aware that there was such a big difference between the two.
I figured I should ask here since I'm coding a spigot plugin

[dry yacht]

Tbh, ideally, production-code shouldn't even include function calls for debug logging. All these "agile" people wanting to turn on their debug logging service remotely, lmao

[thick oracle]

Let's hope they fix it lol

[eternal night]

I mean your code base can obviously contain the logger.debug calls

just, they should never be enabled on a production server

[dry yacht]

Tbh, I don't think they will if you don't get the ball rolling. Is there a way you can tell them about it? Some sort of ticket-stuff?

[eternal night]

that is not what they are for

[eternal oxide]

unless you NEED a debug log from a production server to find an issue you can't see in a dev environment

[eternal night]

then properly start the server in debug mode ?

[dry yacht]

Tbh, depends, I don't know if the JVM actually optimizes these calls out if they're always noops. I just generally dislike the idea of having unused cpu cycles, as I'm used to debug and non-debug binaries. But I get it, that's immensely nitpicky.

[thick oracle]

not sure tbh, gotta research a bit on that

[eternal oxide]

yeah, you are making excuses now to be obtuse? Restarting a production server is not always feasible.

[eternal night]

[dry yacht]

I'd help to maybe even locate the bug, but I couldn't even get the darn server up and running, xD. That pissed me off so badly that I deleted the folder again.

[eternal oxide]

In many local authorities systems I've installed and maintained they dealt with taking the publics payments. You could not "down a server" for any reason.

[thick oracle]

lmao
I'm just gonna open a ticket on github

[eternal oxide]

You had to have the ability to turn on/off a debug

[opal juniper]

https://paste.ollieee.xyz/ezeyafotow.java
whats a better way to do this

exactly

[dry yacht]

What's next, hotpatching in production? Okay, sorry, I'm not going to add to this discussion, xDD.

[eternal oxide]

We've actually done that in the past :). Local councils are bitches

[dry yacht]

But I do get the point, it's actually pretty valid. Collect traces on a running system to later debug locally.

[eternal oxide]

So many crazy rules in their CLA

[chrome beacon]

So I tested the logger. The log levels are missing in the prefix. Is that the issue you were talking about?

[eternal oxide]

No, if you use the plugin logger you can not change teh logging level after startup

[chrome beacon]

wdym by changing to logging level

[eternal night]

what logs it prints

[eternal oxide]

if you startup with INFO level and change to FINE after startup no FINE logs will be produced. The level remains at INFO

[chrome beacon]

Couldn't you just use setLevel?

[eternal oxide]

Thats the point setLevel on a Plugin logger has no effect

[dry yacht]

There very likely is, but I have no idea of what you tried to accomplish there, xD. Is that a hardcoded tree? lmao

[smoky oak]

what are you trying to do here

ye like blvck said

context

[opal juniper]

its a structure yeah but i cant think of a way to generate it proc so... hardcoded values atm

[smoky oak]

ye but what kind of structure

[dry yacht]

It's literally a tree, isn't it?

[chrome beacon]

I don't see anything that would break that in the logger source?

[dry yacht]

Do you have a rendered screenshot of it?

[opal juniper]

nah a leaf

[dry yacht]

oh my lord

[eternal night]

because the default server does logging through log4j2 ?

wrong reply

[smoky oak]

cant you just load in the azaela tree structure and remove the blocks

`logs i mean

[eternal night]

the log4j appender is configured to log level info by default, you can supply whatever log4j2.xml file you want

[dry yacht]

Just have the middle stem and then use block-faces to generate the leafs around them. Top left bottom right for the middle and front and back for front and back, well, obviously.

[eternal night]

if you care for debug level output

[chrome beacon]

ah I now I understand. I forgot it uses Log4J

[regal scaffold]

How can I use a "config-version" field in config.yml to then replace the config if there's a new version available?

Like delete the old file and replace for the new one

[opal juniper]

I mean yeah, they are meant to be like leaves on a stem though

[chrome beacon]

Get the config version. Check if it's older than the new one. Run your conversion code

[opal juniper]

Did discord switch image renderer?

[chrome beacon]

They've done some image changes

[regal scaffold]

But saveDefaultConfig doesn't overwrite

[chrome beacon]

You can set values to the config

[regal scaffold]

Do I instead just delete the file and then run saveDefaultConfig?

[chrome beacon]

getConfig().set smth

or delete the file if you want to reset their settings

which would be a pain for the user

[regal scaffold]

Wait you're saying I can actually "update" the file without deleting it

[dry yacht]

Btw, depending on how fancy your "leaf" needs to be, I'd just advise the simple route: Write a yaml file where you have block-type sections and coordinate entries, based on a relative coordinate system, as you already have. Then just load that yaml and generate the entries at startup. "The ugly code gotta be somewhere", in this case it's not code but only data in a flat-file, that's alright. You're also not hardcoding the data that way, which I'd consider bad practise to be honest.

[regal scaffold]

Interesting

[chrome beacon]

Yeah

[regal scaffold]

How does that work tho? How do I know what changed?

[chrome beacon]

You write data fixers

[smoky oak]

also @opal juniper if all you care about is code size/readability do something like this

int[][] leafPos = { {0,1,1},{1,0,1}...};
//init set
for(int[] pos : leafPos){
  set.add(Pair.of(new Vector(pos[0],pos[1],pos[2]),Material.AZAELA_LEAVES);
}

which would mean you could order the triplets in the leafPos initializator by height for example

[regal scaffold]

For each field in the config?!/

[sharp zenith]

Can someone enter help-server i need a lil help

[chrome beacon]

Yeah

[regal scaffold]

brh

[opal juniper]

I know its pretty bad, I was honestly thinking about a string that I just loop through like shaped recipes are done

[chrome beacon]

So if config version is 8 and new 10
You'd run update fixer 9 then update fixer to 10

[regal scaffold]

O.O

That's even more

tf

That seems like a pain

[opal juniper]

Yeah looks oke, still gonna have a huge array but is better

[chrome beacon]

It's not that much if you're only making small changes

[dry yacht]

You can generate it by just following the middle "stem" itself (no matter what material that'll be) and appending leafs around it, but your structure looks like it's not just that simple. It actually has some "accents" which don't follow the simple logic.

[sharp zenith]

Does someone know why does my server open and closes?

[regal scaffold]

Yeah fair, so I can check if a field exists and if not, add it?

That what you're saying?

[chrome beacon]

Yeah

[regal scaffold]

Ooooo ok that's not as bad as I thought

[dry yacht]

I just - personally - really think that it's better to separate this kind of data from the actual compiled code, which is why I'd prefer a "markup" in an external file.

[regal scaffold]

If I need to change a field I guess best thing to do is straight up remove it and add the new format for it

Gotcha gotcha

[opal juniper]

the stem is procedural and really simple. it just generates 3x3 layers, has a chance to offset and a chance to omit a block

[smoky oak]

id probably use a config myself but this was cleanup, not redesign

sides

not like that changes

the form i mean

so hard coding it is fine

[regal scaffold]

And then, I've been using saveDefaultConfig() onEnable to copy the config.yml from the plugin.jar

Is this the best?

[chrome beacon]

That's fine yeah

[regal scaffold]

Alright thanks Olivo

[dry yacht]

I called the "core" of your leaf a stem, sorry, that was a bit ambiguous, xD.

[opal juniper]

ultimately, the leaf wasn't something I wanted people to be able to configure, however If i just shove it in the config and have some string -> material map in there too it should be fine

[dry yacht]

To put it simply: your array has some redundant logic you could pull out, but I don't know if that's worth it.

[opal juniper]

yeah i imagine 😄

will work on it again later, will probs put it in a config

I have done something like this before

jank, but meh

[smoky oak]

i just use RedLib for structures

[dry yacht]

I'd use something like

SPRUCE_LOG:
- 0 0 0
- 0 1 0
...
AZALEA_LEAVES:
- ...

This way you have a clean separation between code and data, just like you don't inline sprite sheets into program memory in games like minecraft, xD.

[dry yacht]

Uhm, that's even better, xD

[opal juniper]

😄

thanks for your ideas tho guys

[smoky oak]

by the way

dont trust anything i say

i give the quick solution

not the good one

[regal scaffold]

Can I try getting a config field but what if I expect it to be null

Nah nvm

[smoky oak]

you can put a default value as second arg in the get method

[regal scaffold]

Really good to know. Thanks anyways

Hey, If I'm making a class called Scheduler that I want to use to run a task on repeat. I make that class implement Runnable right? Then is it as simple as it sounds?

Start new instance of the class from Main class and call Scheduler.run()?

[chrome beacon]

That will only call the run method once

[smoky oak]

well you have to overwrite the run method

preferrably with a loop

[regal scaffold]

Ok wait wait

[eternal oxide]

calling it Scheduler is probably not a good choice

[smoky oak]

but thats for stand alone

?scheduler

[regal scaffold]

I was using this before

[smoky oak]

?scheduling

[undone axle]

https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/scheduler-programming/

[regal scaffold]

            (new BukkitRunnable() {
                public void run() {
                    
                }
            }).runTaskTimer((Plugin) this, 20L, 20L);

And that's what I'm trying to move to a separate class

I think im confusing terms tho

[chrome beacon]

Extend BukkitRunnable

[smoky oak]

class extends bukkit runnable, @overwrite the run method, call it like above

[eternal oxide]

and call it a SomethingTask rather than Scheduler

[regal scaffold]

Ok ok I understand now

Thanks

[tawdry echo]

how can create villager trades manipulation like this?

[smoky oak]

by the way @eternal oxide do you not sleep or something? I go to bed, i wake up, and youre still online

Alrtight alright thanks

[pseudo hazel]

with a scoreboard, can I hide the red score number and just show the entries instead?

[smoky oak]

no

client limitation

[pseudo hazel]

sad

[chrome beacon]

You can use a resourcepack

[tardy delta]

just make your own client

[pseudo hazel]

oh yeah thats a good idea brush

[tardy delta]

i really have to change my name

[smoky oak]

why

[tardy delta]

people either think that im 14 or that im a toothbrush

[smoky oak]

worked for the last 5 years

[pseudo hazel]

i guess I will use bold numbers for the actual score xD

[chrome beacon]

If you're on a modern version you can use shaders in the resourcepack to remove the numbers

[pseudo hazel]

hmm

well maybe thats something for later

[smoky oak]

why not use the red if youre doing an actual scoreboard

[pseudo hazel]

my plugin doesnt really come with a resource pack now

[chrome beacon]

https://github.com/Greazi-Times/Scoreboard-Number-Remover

Found this

[pseudo hazel]

well I want to show a team name, but also the players in the team

but only the actual team name has the correct score

so then I cant order it correctly

[dry yacht]

Oh, thanks for clearing that up, I actually thought you were a 14 year old toothbrush, lol

[pseudo hazel]

because those red scores are also used to order teh board

[tardy delta]

[pseudo hazel]

unless there is a way to not have it do that

but I dont think so

[eternal oxide]

you can have all the scores zero

[pseudo hazel]

I guess

so then what will the order be

order of insertion?

[eternal oxide]

you order by... sec I have it done

you create a team per line...

then teh simplest way is to use a MC colors to create the team name

            // Create a Team for each line in the Sidebar.
            for (int index = 1; index <= 15; index++) {

                Team team = scoreboard.registerNewTeam("TEAM_" + index);
                /*
                 * Set a colour code as the team name because it's an invisible
                 * character and will not display over any Sidebar text.
                 */
                team.addEntry(createKey(index));
            }```

[pseudo hazel]

I see

[eternal oxide]

then it's simple to change a line with ```java
/**
* Set a specific line on the Scoreboard.
*
* @param index 1-15 (bottom to top)
* @param text String to display.
*/
public void setSlot(int index, String text) {

        Team team = scoreboard.getTeam("TEAM_" + index);
        String entry = createKey(index);

        if (!scoreboard.getEntries().contains(entry)) {
            sidebar.getScore(entry).setScore(0);
        }

        // Translate colour codes so they can be displayed correctly
        // and trim to 32 displayable.
        text = trimWithoutColour(translateColourCodes(text));

        team.setPrefix(text);
    }```

[pseudo hazel]

this will make my scoreboard more complex though, since I am already using this to create my normal teams

but yeah the way it gets ordered is just by inserting it in the right order

[eternal oxide]

yes, each team is added in order then any changes are kept

so you can change any line and it stays in the same place with a zero score

[pseudo hazel]

but I guess i can use a separate invisible scoreboard for the actual team scores and then have this additional visual scoreboard displaying what i want

[eternal oxide]

the key used above is just ```java
private String createKey(int slot) {

return ChatColor.values()[slot].toString();

}```

[pseudo hazel]

can a scoreboard only have 15 lines?

[eternal oxide]

yes

[pseudo hazel]

ok

and can I also hide certain lines?

without ruining the order

like I might not want all the lines at all times but still want it to be possible to use them if I need it

[eternal oxide]

yes

[pseudo hazel]

okay so how do I hide a line

[eternal oxide]

set it to an empty string

[pseudo hazel]

oh okay

and the color wont prevent it from hiding?

Make sure to shade & relocate redis and its libs, both the server and redis use netty which can overlap

Nope you dont need redis installed. Just make sure you shade the redis driver into your project.

[regal scaffold]

This problem is back.

Nice image size discord. you nailed it

    @EventHandler
    public void aSyncPlayerChatEvent(AsyncPlayerChatEvent event) {
        if (Configuration.getChatEnabled()) {
            Player player = event.getPlayer();
            event.setMessage(Utils.colorize(Utils.translateHexColorCodes(event.getMessage())));
            String format = Utils.setPlaceholders(player, Configuration.getChatFormat(), event.getMessage());
            event.setFormat(ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', format));
            Bukkit.getLogger().info(format);
        }
    }

[pseudo hazel]

wait so what is the goal?

[regal scaffold]

The output in console should be identical to the output ingame. But it doesn't even show the player name

Which is how it would work if I turn my eventhandler off. So I know I'm doing something wrong

[pseudo hazel]

so you want the console to display the same as the client?

[dry yacht]

.

[regal scaffold]

The console already does display the same as the client. by default. But if I change the format like I'm doing above it completely messes up

[dry yacht]

Use spigot, lol

[pseudo hazel]

have you tried using Bukkit.getConsoleSender().sendMessage()?

[regal scaffold]

Why would I need that

If all messages already get sent to console

[thick oracle]

Paper already accepted my issue on github about this

[regal scaffold]

By default

Wait this is a paper issue?

Are you serious

[thick oracle]

yes

[dry yacht]

I told you...

[regal scaffold]

bruh

I thought the conclusion

Wasn't that

fk me...

Apologies

[paper viper]

Hello
where is the PortalCreateEvent called?

[dry yacht]

"iT's tHe ColOrs"

[regal scaffold]

So what I'm doing is correct they just messed up

[eternal oxide]

This is why we ask people to only use Spigot here 😉

[dry yacht]

Yep

[regal scaffold]

Everyone recommends using paper as server jar and using spigotapi to code

[eternal oxide]

yes, but TEST on Spigot

[regal scaffold]

That's a good point

[pseudo hazel]

when either of its CreateReason happens I assume

meaning when fire lights a portal, when a portal gets created in the nether as a pair by the game, or when the end portal creates a obsidian platform in the end

[paper viper]

Class name?

[pseudo hazel]

there is no class name

the event will just get fired when these things happen

[lost matrix]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/event/world/PortalCreateEvent.CreateReason.html

[paper viper]

where does minecraft check if it is a valid portal

[pseudo hazel]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/event/world/PortalCreateEvent.CreateReason.html

oof

idk where minecraft checks it

but if its created, it should be a valid portal

i.e. I would expect this event to fire only for valid portals

but like, what do you consider an invalid portal

[paper viper]

ik i wanted the locgic where it checks if its valid for my own portals

[pseudo hazel]

what do you mean by your own portals

[iron palm]

i do have it and the plugin size has increased to 18 mb

[dry yacht]

Event-Call site: ./main/java/net/minecraft/world/level/portal/BlockPortalShape.java:194

Block logic: ./main/java/net/minecraft/world/level/block/BlockFireAbstract.java:149

May deviate a bit on your version. That's grepped from craftbukkit. Basically checked onPlace, when the block is fire.

[dry yacht]

Couldn't find any other call besides PortalCreateEvent.CreateReason.FIRE, so I may be missing a case.

[pseudo hazel]

hmm

thats weird

well I guess the other 2 reasons dont really have to rely on a portal being valid as they are the result of a portal already being created

To fully replace a file with the default config file from the jar should I use File# methods to delete the existing folder and then saveDefaultConfig()?

[primal goblet]

why the player's nametag is hidden?

[eternal oxide]

If you want to completely reset teh config but you have one already saved use getConfig().load(Reader) and pass it a Reader via getResource

[tardy delta]

i wanted to say Files.copy(plugin.getResource("config.yml"), Paths.get("config.yml"), StandardCopyOptions.REPLACE_EXISTING) lol

but ye that works too ig

still gotta load it then

[eternal oxide]

using load you only need to call save after adn you never touch the file yourself so no possible chance of locks

[regal scaffold]

            File file = new File(getDataFolder(), "config.yml");
            if (file.exists())
                file.delete();

        saveDefaultConfig();

Doesn't that do the trick too?

[eternal oxide]

it does, but you then also have to load it again

as your modified one will still be in memory

[tardy delta]

\👀

[regal scaffold]

You just pointed out something and now I'm even more confused

load the file again

I never loaded the file in the first place I don't think

How was it working

[hazy parrot]

Do you want to change it on runtime or onEnable

[regal scaffold]

Oh nvm I see what I did

Yeah

[hazy parrot]

If its onEnable, no need to do anything

If its runtime tho, you have to load it again, you can just do it with reloadConfig

[regal scaffold]

    private void setConfigFile() {
        config = getConfig();
        try {
            int configVersion = config.getInt("CONFIG_VERSION");
            //Make a switch to check what version the config is currently at. If it is not the latest version, update to the next version
            switch (configVersion) {
                case 1:
                    break;
                default:
                    break;
            }
        } catch (Exception e) {
            //If the config version is not found, it is most likely the first time the plugin is being run. Set the config version to 1

            Bukkit.getLogger().log(Level.WARNING, "Config version is outdated. Resetting config version to 1");
            File file = new File(getDataFolder(), "config.yml");
            if (file.exists())
                file.delete();
        }

        saveDefaultConfig();
        if (config ==  null ) {
            config = getConfig();
        }
    }

I think that works

To replace the file completely if it's a very old version, even before I added "config_version"

If it has the field "CONFIG_VERSION" it'll do the stuff for the number of the version.

If it doesn't have it it, delete, saveDefault and load

[hazy parrot]

But your approach will delete any modification user already made

[tender shard]

https://blog.jeff-media.com/dont-jump-off-bridges-or-why-you-shouldnt-use-exceptions-to-control-code-flow/

[regal scaffold]

I need to force that

[hazy parrot]

It's bad if you ask me

Alex have some config updater

[regal scaffold]

I need to force it because the config file changed drastically

[eternal oxide]

this will wipe your config and save over teh config you have savedjava try { getConfig().load(new InputStreamReader(getResource("config.yml"))); getConfig().save(new File(getDataFolder(), "config.yml")); } catch (IOException | InvalidConfigurationException e) { e.printStackTrace(); }

[regal scaffold]

I can have a config updater once the config includes the field "CONFIG_VERSION"

[iron palm]

should i do someth extra except shading the redisson into the plugin???

[regal scaffold]

I just need to make sure they have the very old config version before I delete it. Which in this case is not having the field "CONFIG_VERSION"

After that it won't delete anymore and I can do config updater stuff

So even tho alex suggests not to use exceptions for this

[hazy parrot]

You can just get it

And check if its null

[regal scaffold]

yeah I'm changing to that rn

Just noticed

[hazy parrot]

Also this empty switch is kinda...

[tardy delta]

interesting

[regal scaffold]

It's for the future

For config updater no?

I can remove it for now obviously

I was just thinking on ikt

    private void setConfigFile() throws IOException, InvalidConfigurationException {
        config = getConfig();
        int configVersion = config.getKeys(false).contains("CONFIG_VERSION") ? config.getInt("CONFIG_VERSION") : -1;
        if (configVersion == -1) {
            Bukkit.getLogger().log(Level.WARNING, "Config version is outdated. Resetting config version to 1");
            getConfig().load(new InputStreamReader(getResource("config.yml")));
            getConfig().save(new File(getDataFolder(), "config.yml"));

        }
    }

There you go. that looks much better

Hey there. I have a simple fake player. When the npc faces to north, it's head being a bit weird. anyone knows whats the error here?

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1072278481850867802/1076872643522875444/2023-02-19_17-25-42.mp4

            Vector dir = player.getLocation().toVector().clone().subtract(npc.getLocation().toVector()).normalize();
            
            double r = Math.sqrt( dir.getX() * dir.getX() + dir.getY() * dir.getY() + dir.getZ() * dir.getZ() );
            double yaw = Math.toDegrees(Math.atan2(-dir.getX(), dir.getZ()));
            double pitch = Math.toDegrees(-Math.asin(dir.getY() / r));

            connection.sendPacket(new PacketPlayOutEntityHeadRotation(npc.getPlayerObject(), (byte) yaw));
            connection.sendPacket(new PacketPlayOutEntity.PacketPlayOutEntityLook(npc.getPlayerObject().getId(), (byte) yaw, (byte) pitch, true));
        

I want it to look my eyes. Its working fine for other rotations but when north, it is a bit weird

[green tapir]

how can I fire a let's say fire_charge at a specific direction with a specific radius?

and make the exploded blocks surroundings turn into a specific block

[eternal oxide]

ClientboundRotateHeadPacket(npc, (byte) Math.floor(npc.getYHeadRot() * 256f / 360f));

[green tapir]

like coding a meteor that turns surrounding exploded blocks into magma and netherrack

[quaint mantle]

will this change the head rotation of the npc or player

[eternal oxide]

NPC is a Player

[quaint mantle]

i mean the real player

[green tapir]

how can I make a let's say tnt explode and turn all exploded blocks into (80%) netherrack/magma block (20%)

[quaint mantle]

Also, which version is this? It says ClientboundRotateHeadPacket cannot be resolved

[eternal oxide]

thats 1.19.3?

[quaint mantle]

i was using 1.16.5

[eternal oxide]

1.19.2 sorry

[quaint mantle]

time to update

[green tapir]

everyone ignoring me be like

[chrome beacon]

You can loop the blocks in the radius you want and change them

Use random to randomize the blocks

[green tapir]

no i know the rng part but im asking the placement part

[eternal oxide]

you don;t need to place, just get teh blocklist in the explosion and randomize

[green tapir]

oh

.-.

im dumb

[eternal oxide]

after you made your changes don;t forget to set teh yield to zero and probably clear teh BlockList

you still want the explosion to happen, just not change blocks

[dry yacht]

Well... if your plugin is actually used by people you shouldn't do that, :-: Think about your layout properly before the first release and then only patch in keys on the fly or deprecate others (would be best if you'd also add a comment above). But drastically changing the whole file would be a dealbreaker for most people who took the time to make it their own and now have to manually migrate everything.

[stone jackal]

Hey, how I can create a clickable npc in java spigot 1.12.2 ?

[dry yacht]

Step one: Break down the problem into manageable tasks, as your question is actually quite huge.

[chrome beacon]

I'd use the Citizens API

[tardy delta]

any more methods i can add to my math parser? i currently have sin, cos, tan, asin, acos, atan, sinh, cosh, tanh, sqrt, cbrt, log, rad, floor, ceil, abs, int, pi, e, min, max, avg, round, rand, exit, and, nand, or, xor, not, nor, xnor

lol

[stone jackal]

I would like to create a clickable NPC that would open a menu, and I would like to know how to do this.

[chrome beacon]

https://wiki.citizensnpcs.co/API

[stone jackal]

I have already looked here, the problem is that there is a step that I do not understand, the one about 'Hooking Into Citizens'.

[tardy delta]

i always made my npcs myself with packets 🥺

[regal scaffold]

My plugin was released long time ago with 3 fields. I had to do something. It's not the first release. I wasn't that experienced back then

[chrome beacon]

What part don't you understand? Adding the line to the plugin.yml or listening to an event?

[stone jackal]

Both of them

[chrome beacon]

So to add the line you open the file and write the text then you save

For the other one you use the event api that spigot has: https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/using-the-event-api/

[tardy delta]

(a, b) -> a != 0 ^ b != 0 ? 0 : 1 me wondering how a != 0 ^ b != 0 is a valid expression

or does ^ act as a boolean operator?

probbaly xor ig oh ye

[chrome beacon]

💀 Use variables

[tardy delta]

varargs method

[chrome beacon]

the plugin manager

[tardy delta]

^^

is there a reason you're instantiating all your stuff before calling that method?

[dry yacht]

With three fields you mean just three key-value pairs? Well, then why redo the whole thing? Just add new members to the loaded configuration, save it and thus patch in new customization features. The newer snake-yaml also allows to append comments to nodes, so you could even explain what's moved and what the new stuff does. Just overriding the file is a bit intrusive.

[tardy delta]

you dont do registerEvents(new EventHandlerX(), this)

i dont think thats supposed to work lol

[dry yacht]

If you're really interested in a more clean and flexible solution (which most people actually aren't, lol), you could check this out: https://github.com/BlvckBytes/AutoWirer

It's very simple and lightweight. This is how I use it: https://paste.md-5.net/wocudisoza.java

In your case, the addInstantiationListener for Listener.class would do the trick. You of course still need to add the classes to have a reference, but the part of wiring is being done for you.

[torn shuttle]

does spigot have a specific implementation for async callbacks?

[stone jackal]

[cobalt thorn]

Hi, im having a stroke for making this, i made an upgrade item when you click into an armor it opens a GUI but i realized after some time that how can i change the lore to the armor piece selected, any help on how to pass it from the InventoryClickEvent in the upgrade to the one in the GUI?

some code:
https://sourceb.in/uffy1QlnMJ (GUI)
https://sourceb.in/ya7Kvy8eEx (Event)

[tardy delta]

its currently only working with numbers but ye i might try

i dont even know how vectors work lol

[zealous osprey]

Well normally you can distill vector math down to a sequence of regular expressions, where each result is "stored" in a different portion of the vector.
Important math expressions for vectors are the dot product, normalizing and smth I never can remember.

[tardy delta]

i was thinking about transforming my parser to a interpreted language but that will probably go brr

[stone jackal]

Hey, how I can create a clickable NPC without Citizens ?

can I have a scoreboard thats visually present on the players sidebar but still have the tablist displaying a player name with the prefix of another scoreboard objective?

or can I have multiple objectives on the same scoreboard but only have 1 showing

like I can make a scoreboard and add an objective for the team name prefix

and then another objective for the things that I want to display on the scoreboard

like can both of those things be on the same scoreboard?

[eternal oxide]

I've not done anythign with tablist

[pseudo hazel]

hmm ill play around then

[dry yacht]

Yes, that's possible. Scoreboard Objectives and Teams don't really share anything that could collide. Teams are just named groups with members and some properties.

Hi with the replaceall if i have something like "Power LVL" but has some color code doesn't get replaced?

int s = Armor.getLore().size();
            for(int x = 0; x < s; x++) {
                String st = Armor.getLore().get(s);
                st.replaceAll("PowerLVL", "Speed");
            }
 //&e&l* &d+PowerLVL <- Color code 

but doesn't work, no error too

[pseudo hazel]

do you want to also replace the color code?

[valid basin]

Does anyone know a way to make brewing instant? And make it require certain amount of money to brew?

So players don't need to wait

[cobalt thorn]

no just the PowerLVL

[pseudo hazel]

and now its replacing teh color also?

or what doesnt work about it

[cobalt thorn]

no its not replacing nothing

[cobalt thorn]

its the same

[smoky oak]

i mean cant you check when the inventory changes and remove the items and place the potion

iirc theres some sort of event triggered if a player places an item in an inventory

[eternal oxide]

this code repeatedly get the last entry in Lore

[cobalt thorn]

yes its normal

[pseudo hazel]

you need to re apply the line to the lore

like you are just getting a copy of the lore, not actually setting it back

[eternal oxide]

except you are getting the index by size when arrays are indexed on zero

[cobalt thorn]

i repeat in all the lore because i don't know how the people will set it

[eternal oxide]

you are not looping lore to replace the string

[cobalt thorn]

what you mean?

[eternal oxide]

you are trying to fetch the last entry + 1 and perform a replace on that

[pseudo hazel]

you mistyped

[eternal oxide]

you shoud get x not get s

[warm mesa]

New Day

[pseudo hazel]

you probably want to get the x'th line instead of s'th one, like String st = Armor.getLore().get(x);

[warm mesa]

New attempt

[cobalt thorn]

x < s -> s < x?

[pseudo hazel]

no

what is s

[chrome forge]

Hi, is it possible to send chest opening animation without using nms packets?

[cobalt thorn]

OOOH i got it

[eternal oxide]

first line inside your for loop

[warm mesa]

Shit

[cobalt thorn]

i did that but same is not working

[eternal oxide]

lastly this is not how you actually modify lore

[icy beacon]

for values added with YamlConfiguration#addDefault, how do I make sure that the values are there? if I use #options().copyDefaults(true), then everytime i edit a value in the configuration, it'll be overwritten upon restart and i don't want that to happen

[cobalt thorn]

and how?

[eternal oxide]

get lore -> modify List -> put back on object

[cobalt thorn]

int s = Armor.getLore().size();
            for(int x = 0; x < s; x++) {
                String st = Armor.getLore().get(x);
                Armor.getLore().set(x, st.replaceAll("PowerLVL", "Speed"))
            }

[eternal oxide]

lore = Armor.getLore();
for (String line : lore) {
  // replace
  line = line.replaceAll("PowerLVL", "Speed");
}
Armor.setLore(lore);```

[wet breach]

its not originally mine. I had for a short period of time took over it to maintain it while the author was away

[tardy delta]

replaceall is for regex remember

[cobalt thorn]

 List<String> lore = Armor.getLore();
            for (String line : lore) {
                line.replaceAll("PowerLVL", "Speed");
            }
            Armor.setLore(lore);
            itemstack.setItemMeta(Armor);

even whit this doesn't work

[eternal oxide]

it also works for string replace

[tardy delta]

it will work yes

am i looking at kotlin or smth cuz Armor

or are we not caring about naming conventions anymore

[cobalt thorn]

probably this

[tardy delta]

also strings are immutable so line.replace wont have any effect to line

[cobalt thorn]

im confused right now

[tardy delta]

String#replace returns a new string with the replaced content of the string you call that method on

[cobalt thorn]

oh

[warm mesa]

Hey, what happen if I remove Spigot-server in pom.xlm?

[eternal oxide]

yep

[tardy delta]

spigot-server?

[warm mesa]

In BuildTools setup

[eternal oxide]

you should never need to modify BT at all

I have no idea why your build fails. We went over everything yesterday

cmd and Bash

java version, cmd line, file location, access level.

[thick oracle]

Can anyone here recommend me some Command Frameworks?

[eternal oxide]

The only one which gets recommended here is Aikars ACF

[dry yacht]

Which features do you need? Tbh, org.bukkit.command.Command is more than enough to get everything implemented. You can add a few little abstractions to it, but I would avoid using some bloatware library just for commands.

[eternal oxide]

^

[thick oracle]

There's nothing special I really need. I just thought I'd give some frameworks a try

[pseudo hazel]

I would usually work the other way around

[icy beacon]

well acf makes your life 100 times more convenient imho

but it will give your plugin some extra weight

if you don't mind it, try it

[echo basalt]

acf is a bit too much imo

[eternal oxide]

I generally java public abstract class BaseCommand implements CommandExecutor

[icy beacon]

depends

[eternal oxide]

then extend it for each command

[echo basalt]

I made my own tiny SimpleCommand util that is about 10kb

[icy beacon]

if your plugin has a lot of commands with a lot of code, it can probably be simplified

[pseudo hazel]

whats in this basecommand then

[icy beacon]

mind sharing?

[pseudo hazel]

like input checking?

or what else would you put in such a class

[eternal oxide]

just a constructor and a default onCommand

[pseudo hazel]

other than concrete commands

[eternal oxide]

then any shared fields

[thick oracle]

Yea I used a custom abstract class before too, but I felt like I gave myself more work than if I had just sticked to the normal CommandExecutor

[eternal oxide]

?paste

[undone axle]

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

[eternal oxide]

https://paste.md-5.net/opalewodew.java

[pseudo hazel]

I guess

[echo basalt]

public class WhateverMyCommand implements SimpleCommand {

  @Override
  public String getIdentifier() {
    return "teleport.*"; // /teleport 123asdf
  }

  @Override
  public String getPermission() {
    return "command.teleport";
  }

  @Override
  public void execute(CommandSender sender, String... args) {
    Player source = (Player) sender;

    String targetPlayer = args[0];

    if(targetPlayer.isEmpty()) {
      ...
      return;
    }

    Player target = Bukkit.getPlayer(targetPlayer):

    // validate target
    source.teleport(target.getLocation());
  }
}

idfk

[pseudo hazel]

all it really does is just hide some casting of the sender

[echo basalt]

It's good enough

[pseudo hazel]

as far as I can see

yeah same I feel like CommandExecuter is already the base so there is no reason imo to make another one for it

[eternal oxide]

it allows you to minimize code not having to check for console etc in every command

you can also simplify tab complete using an abstract

[thick oracle]

tab complete is already pretty simple as is imo

[pseudo hazel]

well you still need to check for console in your implemented class, but now its a boolean instead of a cast check

[eternal oxide]

true

[echo basalt]

nice song choices

[icy beacon]

thx xd

[thick oracle]

saving the config on plugin reload will override previous settings afaik

[icy beacon]

oh that could be actually

should i swap reload and save

[thick oracle]

I usually have a reload method like this

public static void reloadFiles(boolean save) {
  try {
    if (save) config.save(configFile);
    config.load(configFile);
  catch (IOException | InvalidConfigurationException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
  }
}

and in my reload command I just call FileManager.reloadFiles(false);

[icy beacon]

honestly config reloads are the bane of my existence

i never get them right on the first try

and barely on the fifth

[echo basalt]

static config?

oh hell no

[thick oracle]

is there anything wrong with it? never had any issues

[icy beacon]

it helped

thx lewd person

ArmorStand#setHelmet is deprecated. What do I do?

[proper notch]

See its docs.

Deprecated.
prefer EntityEquipment.setHelmet(org.bukkit.inventory.ItemStack)```

[cunning canopy]

thanks

Is there a way to make an entity invisible from the time spawned so you can't see the armorstand visible for a splitsecond?

[frank kettle]

What's the problem with seeing a armor stand?

[cunning canopy]

it is supposed to be invisible

[frank kettle]

You can use NMS then

And send packets of the armor stand after you have created it fully.

[eternal oxide]

yes you can, spawn it using the method that accepts a consumer

[thick oracle]

ArmorStand inherits LivingEntity and can thus use #setInvisible(), no?

[cunning canopy]

a consumer?

[cunning canopy]

I am using it

[eternal oxide]

in the consumer you can set it invisible and that code runs before it's actually spawned

[frank kettle]

He says he can see it for a split second

[cunning canopy]

but you can still se it for a split second

[eternal oxide]

then he can;t be using the consumer method

[thick oracle]

oh, didnt read that part, sorry

[frank kettle]

He must be using a 5tps server and really bothered by it

[cunning canopy]

thank you

[cunning canopy]

its 20 and yes I am really bothered

[eternal oxide]

[sacred mountain]

very unrelated to minecraft but how would i replace numbers in a string with their sum if they are next to each other?

e.g.
28hi -> 10hi
248test49helloworld10 -> 14test13helloworld1

cant figure it out for the life of me

[icy beacon]

probably regex

[sacred mountain]

yeah tried that the library doesnt give me anything useful

[icy beacon]

library?

regex is a java built-in

[sacred mountain]

yeah that one

[eternal oxide]

yes regex

[sacred mountain]

(\d+) i tried

[icy beacon]

uh

i don't think that's sufficient

[sacred mountain]

seemed to do something but i dont know how to capture groups properly

[icy beacon]

oh

[sacred mountain]

yeah im aware i need help lol

[icy beacon]

so you need to cache a pattern somewhere

like you know

Pattern pattern = Pattern.something("(\\d+")

and then

uh

Matcher

something

lmao

[sacred mountain]

yeah i have all that

[icy beacon]

show your code at least

[cunning canopy]

I dont really understand the clazz argument for world.spawn

[sacred mountain]

no clue what to do with the matcher object

[icy beacon]

while (matcher.find())

and then matcher.group(1) something

i do not remember 😭

but it should be group

[eternal oxide]

or split on a regex

[icy beacon]

yeah that would work actually

[eternal oxide]

you can split numbers and letters

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9856916/java-string-split-regex

[sacred mountain]

how

ok

[icy beacon]

well split() accepts regex actually

so i guess just pass a regex string there

toTruncate.split("\\d+")

wait no

that would remove the numbers

[eternal oxide]

I posted exact code to spawn an invisible ArmorStand

[icy beacon]

so instead remove everything that's NOT a number

and work with numbers

[cunning canopy]

ah thanks I did not see

[thick oracle]

can someone elaborate on this? I just want to understand why I shouldn't use static FileConfigurations

[eternal oxide]

you need two splits the same as the stackoverflow shows, if you want to reassemble it after

[sacred mountain]

yeah but then all the numbers will be next to each otehr

so it wouldn't sum correctly

[icy beacon]

why

that would return you an array

[sacred mountain]

oh i see ok

[icy beacon]

like 28a15 -> [28, 15]

[sacred mountain]

so to remove everything else i just split with regex

[eternal oxide]

you split to create two arrays, one of the number and one of words

[icy beacon]

you need to split by a regex that matches anything that's not a number

so perhaps negate your \d+

[eternal oxide]

you add up each char in the number array, then recombine with yoru words array (if you need to)

[sacred mountain]

[^\d]+

something like that

\D+

[eternal oxide]

https://regexr.com/

[pseudo hazel]

if its only letters you can use /w

[sacred mountain]

ran a few tests

thats a bit weird

[pseudo hazel]

what regex did you use

and what test cases

[sacred mountain]

\D+

same as [^\d]+ according to intellij

[pseudo hazel]

yes thats true

is that the full regex?

[sacred mountain]

yeah

[pseudo hazel]

okay and what kinda strings did you test

[sacred mountain]

oiers1
q2i1e2rosl

the first 2

some random spam

p2p1p2[, 2, 1, 2]

printed the array next to the string

br6[, 6]

[pseudo hazel]

weird

idk whats going on

it shouldnt put an empty match xD

[eternal oxide]

[^a-zA-Z]+ gets you all the numbers \D+ gets you all the words

Hello, I tried using mojang mappings and spawning a ServerPlayer, but when starting / reloading the server I get this error

at me.souprpk.areaglow.AreaGlow.onEnable(AreaGlow.java:18) ~[?:?]
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: net.minecraft.world.entity.player.Player``` which then points to a class that has all my nms imports and handles spawning / removing entities

I have downloaded the remapped 1.19.2 version with Buildtools and also have specialsource-maven with spigot <classifier> set to remapped-mojang, so I'm not really sure what could be causing this error

[eternal oxide]

or easier \d+ and \D+

gets you two arrays

[eternal oxide]

first guess is all your blocks are teh same block not different ones

[clear wave]

I already checked this and have my pom.xml setup the same way (only changed the version 1.19.2-R0.1-SNAPSHOT )

[paper viper]

No
Block block1x1 = block1.getRelative(BlockFace.UP);
Block block1x2 = block1x1.getRelative(BlockFace.UP);
Block block1x3 = block1x2.getRelative(BlockFace.UP);

        Block block2x1 = block2.getRelative(BlockFace.UP);
        Block block2x2 = block2x1.getRelative(BlockFace.UP);
        Block block2x3 = block2x2.getRelative(BlockFace.UP);

        Block block3x1 = block3.getRelative(BlockFace.UP);
        Block block3x2 = block3x1.getRelative(BlockFace.UP);
        Block block3x3 = block3x2.getRelative(BlockFace.UP);

[eternal oxide]

then you are using the wrong jar on yoru server

[paper viper]

Let me check wqith other blocks

locations are corect

[eternal oxide]

then do yoru blockchange without physics

[paper viper]

?

[eternal oxide]

setType(material, false)

[sacred mountain]

ijust dont know hwo to replace them back

getting the sums isnt the difficult bit atm

[eternal oxide]

replace them back, ie rebuild the string?

[sacred mountain]

yeah but how would you rebuild it

if theyre in seperate arrays now

[paper viper]

You are the best

[eternal oxide]

you use a StringBuilder adn concat the two arrays

[sacred mountain]

wut

[sacred mountain]

and that would work in the examples i gave

because i feel like that wouldnt

all numbers next to each other get added and put back into the string in the same place, replacing the numbers used

[clear wave]

I dont know what you mean by wrong jar? A diffrent minecraft version?

[dry yacht]

I would go with a simple for loop, going char by char, appending non-numeric characters to a StringBuilder and collecting digits into a numeric accumulator, which you only append when you encounter either the next non-digit or the end of the string.

[sacred mountain]

thanks nice idea

[dry yacht]

Takes a bit of practise, but I'm sure you can make that work out! :).

[eternal oxide]

Like https://stackoverflow.com/questions/34101044/java-interleaving-string-arrays

[dry yacht]

Oh, was that actually what was asked about? Because that's immensely different to what I interpreted it as, xD

[eternal oxide]

you are usign arrays rather than strings is all

[cunning canopy]

can server crashes be caused by infinite while loops?

[eternal oxide]

when you build with NMS using special source you get multiple output jars. you are likely using the wrong jar

[sacred mountain]

no you understood it right

[dry yacht]

Btw, if you face some difficulties with the implementation, this may help: https://paste.md-5.net/irapekuneb.cs

[wet breach]

yes

a while loop that doesn't complete essentially blocks the thread it is running on

[eternal oxide]

folders don't exist

[desert tinsel]

but how can I create a folder automatically?

[dry yacht]

You really shouldn't be hardcoding paths. You need to check for the existence of the containing folder, if that doesn't exist, call mkdirs.

[dry yacht]

https://paste.md-5.net/izicozidaz.php

Something along the lines of this, where getDataFolder is a public method of JavaPlugin.

[hazy warren]

i havent earned a single coin

I just make plugins cuz its fun

[dry yacht]

I thought I was the only one, xD

[pseudo hazel]

na

people have told me I should start selling mine

but like, whats the point xD

[hazy warren]

i'm asking cuz it's fun to ask lol

[pseudo hazel]

I already have a stable day job

sure ig

[dry yacht]

Wouldn't say no, but you've gotta be immensely good at your craft.

[hazy warren]

Guys what if you ahve the most insane utils class ever

Instantly finish 99% of all projects

[pseudo hazel]

well

thats just a programming language

has all the utils to make anything you want

[dry yacht]

If your plugins are superficial to the degree where utilities get you 99% of the way there, I don't think you'll be making much if anything. The great ideas don't take boilerplate, but rather a lot of logic.

[hazy warren]

Cmonnn

There's lots of boilerplate in those great ideas

Maybe the strategy is to only accept the easy ideas

and then finish them in 2 seconds with your insane util class

[dry yacht]

Yeah, but you usually don't think about how you reduce that, this comes naturally if you're doing it long enough. You'll stock up on libs of your own.

[dry yacht]

That could actually work, not gonna lie, xD. But not for the crazy amounts you invision.

[hazy warren]

millions

[pseudo hazel]

yes thats a strategy

will leave you soulless though

if you had any to begin with

[hazy warren]

lol

That's messed up steaf...

The mega ideas aren't worth it

If I have to spend weeks making this guys insane minigame for 100 dollars

[dry yacht]

They are, if you actually take pride in engineering. If you don't, it's likely the wrong field for you. Maybe you can still pull it off, as many others here do, charging insane amounts.

[hazy warren]

So I should charge some wacky amount

[dry yacht]

And find the people willing to pay for it, yes, xD.

[hazy warren]

What if I take too much pride in my own work that once I make the plugin I just can't give it away...

[dry yacht]

You print it out and use it as a wallpaper in your whole home, :).

[hazy warren]

lol

What do you do when you just finally finished this man's $10000 commission

but you're just so proud of your precious plugin you can't give it up

[dry yacht]

Are people actually selling the whole thing? I'd just sell the software, not the rights of the code, xD. But I guess 10k would be something different, yes.

[hazy warren]

Yeah but just knowing that someone else out there is making off with your precious baby

Who knows how they're treating her

[dry yacht]

Man, you got too much time on your hand, xD

[hazy warren]

How much would you charge for an entire recreation of Mineplex's SSM gamemode BlvckBytes

[dry yacht]

Don't even know what that is, and I don't do commissions, xD.

[iron palm]

what libraries should i shade

i already shaded up netty and slf4j

[chrome beacon]

Make sure you relocate them

[iron palm]

wdym by that

[chrome beacon]

Relocation is a feature of shadow/shade plugin that changes the package of shaded dependencies

You need to do that to prevent conflicts if the same dependency is loaded multiple times

[autumn ingot]

what's the easiest way to make custom items with custom textures (like mcc island, for instance)? the tutorial im following is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGxn_Mb8VzI&ab_channel=CodedRed, but it was made 2 years ago; has there been any more integration to make this process easier?

[chrome beacon]

Not really

It still works the same way

You just have more customization with shaders and custom characters

and in 1.20 the display entities that can be interpolated

[autumn ingot]

alright, thanks!

[hazy warren]

has there ever been a pre player death event before

how should i do that i mean should i add something to my shade plugin in build options ? (im on maven)

[chrome beacon]

[iron palm]

aight thanks

[dry yacht]

Don't know what you mean, but it's likely the damage event with health comparison

[hazy warren]

well there's an unresolved pre player death event in this guys code
