night

[slim wigeon]

I hope you programmed this

[slim wigeon]

How do I get values from a list using YamlConfiguration?

[echo basalt]

my favorite part is the memory leaks

[chrome beacon]

getList?

[lucid gazelle]

How would i go about creating the particles in the video? like making them go up and down and up again?

public static List<Location> getHollowCube(final Location corner1, final Location corner2) {
        final List<Location> result = new ArrayList<Location>();
        final World world = corner1.getWorld();
        final double minX = Math.min(corner1.getX(), corner2.getX());
        final double minY = Math.min(corner1.getY(), corner2.getY());
        final double minZ = Math.min(corner1.getZ(), corner2.getZ());
        final double maxX = Math.max(corner1.getX(), corner2.getX());
        final double maxZ = Math.max(corner1.getZ(), corner2.getZ());
        for (double x = minX; x <= maxX; x += 0.1) {
            result.add(new Location(world, x, minY, minZ));
            result.add(new Location(world, x, minY, maxZ));
        }
        for (double z = minZ; z <= maxZ; z += 0.1) {
            result.add(new Location(world, minX, minY, z));
            result.add(new Location(world, maxX, minY, z));
        }
        return result;
    }```

```java
for (final Location location : GenUtils.getHollowCube(genBlock.getLocation().clone().add(-0.1, 0, -0.1), genBlock.getLocation().clone().add(1.1, 1.1, 1.1))) {
                genBlock.getWorld().spawnParticle(Particle.REDSTONE, location, 2, (Object) new Particle.DustOptions(Color.PURPLE, 1.0f));
            }
            for (final Location location : GenUtils.getHollowCube(genBlock.getLocation().clone().add(-0.1, 1, -0.1), genBlock.getLocation().clone().add(1.1, 1.1 + 1, 1.1))) {
                genBlock.getWorld().spawnParticle(Particle.REDSTONE, location, 2, (Object) new Particle.DustOptions(Color.PURPLE, 1.0f));
            }```

[echo basalt]

that just seems like uhh

Here let's start with the basics

[slim wigeon]

I tried this, filter GUI blank for(String material : this.data.getStringList(section+".Filters.WhiteList")) { hopper.getWhiteList().add(Material.getMaterial(material)); } for(String material : this.data.getStringList(section+".Filters.BlackList")) { hopper.getBlackList().add(Material.getMaterial(material)); } for(String material : this.data.getStringList(section+".Filters.VoidList")) { hopper.getVoidList().add(Material.getMaterial(material)); }

[echo basalt]

Looking at the video, you have a decent start

[sour folio]

    public void gui(InventoryClickEvent e, InventoryView r) {
        if(r.getItem(0).getItemMeta().getDisplayName().equalsIgnoreCase("test")) {
            e.setCancelled(true);
        }

    }``` How would I get this code to work?

[echo basalt]

Over the frames, the animation just seems to play with the Y levels a bit so we can do some funky stuff

Let's say the animation is 50 ticks long and consists of going down and back up

That's 25 ticks going down, 25 ticks going up

[chrome beacon]

Show your config and what section is

[echo basalt]

Those 25 ticks travel 0.5 blocks down so you can calculate the increment per tick

Something like

[chrome beacon]

You can't have more than one event per event handler method

[lucid gazelle]

what property is that?

[echo basalt]

Just looking at the video

[lucid gazelle]

cuz rn the particles just rise up

[sour folio]

how would i do it?, would it be an if statement in the main java file

[echo basalt]

basically you want to run a scheduler to display your animation

Let me recreate it here real quick

[sour folio]

ty

[chrome beacon]

Remove InventoryView from the method params

[sour folio]

then my code wont work

[chrome beacon]

Yeah

[sour folio]

how would i get it to work

would it be multiple classes?

anyone?

[sour folio]

this

[chrome beacon]

Get what you need from the event

Have to go now

[sour folio]

would this work? ```public class listnerGetGui implements Listener {
@EventHandler
public void onInventoryClick(InventoryClickEvent event) {
InventoryView inventoryView = event.getView();
if (inventoryView.getTitle().equalsIgnoreCase("test")) {
event.setCancelled(true);
}
}

}

It does!

[slim wigeon]

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

Wait, you still there @chrome beacon ?

[small holly]

I feel really stupid asking this but is there a simple way to load all files from a folder inside my plugins resource folder?

[echo basalt]

I can't tell if your hollow cube method is weird or if my math is weird

[lucid gazelle]

its more like a hollow square

[echo basalt]

I know

[lucid gazelle]

one for the top, one for the bottom

[echo basalt]

but I've done something quick and dirty here and it's too spaced out

and my inputs seem fine

[lucid gazelle]

oh, so you're basically manually decreasing and increasing the y pos

over 50 ticks

[echo basalt]

yeah p much

I can't tell if it's me being an idiot but this is all spaced out

[lucid gazelle]

can u send the FramedEffect class too

[echo basalt]

the effect class is useless

[tough magnet]

I lost the link to the spigot api documentation for 1.8.8

[sour folio]

why does this this not open the gui ItemStack close = new ItemStack(Material.BARRIER); ItemMeta closemeta = close.getItemMeta(); closemeta.setDisplayName(ChatColor.RED + ("CLOSE")); List<String> closelore = closemeta.getLore(); closelore.add("Close the gui"); closemeta.setLore(closelore); close.setItemMeta(closemeta); but when i do this it does load the gui ItemStack close = new ItemStack(Material.BARRIER); ItemMeta closemeta = close.getItemMeta(); closemeta.setDisplayName(ChatColor.RED + ("CLOSE")); close.setItemMeta(closemeta);

[small holly]

Sorry didn't see if there was a response my flat just had to get evacuated because some nitwit burnt food

[echo basalt]

seems like a weird issue on my part

[lucid gazelle]

can you send the code, I'll try something

[echo basalt]

?paste

[undone axle]

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

[echo basalt]

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

yeah it seems to work

lemme make the particles bigger

for some reason adding souts fixed it

maybe my particle size is too low

yeah

now we just need to reverse the animation

or what we could do to sound fancy

is just make the descent 1 and play a reversed version at the same time

which is exactly what you wanted

[lucid gazelle]

yeah, that's what i was looking for

[echo basalt]

so yeah just set the descent to 1

and play 2 copies of the same animation but one's reversed

and they like

compliment each other

[lucid gazelle]

yeah got it

[chrome beacon]

Don't detect inventories by their name

[echo basalt]

BTW here are some fancy arc uhh

utils

[chrome beacon]

You have a list of lists

[echo basalt]

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

this should help you do arcs

just pass in a few points and it does magic

[lucid gazelle]

wow that seems useful

thanks

[echo basalt]

took me a few hours and a lot of pain with chatgpt

[slim wigeon]

That is what is happening, I was thinking I only had one for each filter

[echo basalt]

Thanks for keeping my mind sharp with these particle effects

That's definitely one side I need to expand on

[sour folio]

Im changing it, should i detect by an item lore?

like a secret code

Also how do i get any mob head with a plugin?

[echo basalt]

uh

Material.SKELETON_HEAD

maybe

[sour folio]

some heads are there

some arnt

[lucid gazelle]

can you also send the FramedEffect class?

[sour folio]

like pig_head

[chrome beacon]

Pig head is a player head with a skin

[sour folio]

ok

[chrome beacon]

No not really. Keep track of the inventory instance

[echo basalt]

I sent a screenshot so uh

just do your thing

[chrome beacon]

Highly recommend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvPPXbo87ds

You only need to watch first half or so

[echo basalt]

I barely understand trigonometry outside of like

[fierce whale]

Is there a way to mounting entity follow the direction of mounted entity?

[echo basalt]

3d stuff

[chrome beacon]

Watch that video it starts out basic

Then gets real hard

[chrome beacon]

Yeah check every (few) tick and set the direction

[fierce whale]

Is checking every tick the best way?

[chrome beacon]

It's the easiest way

[fierce whale]

For better optimization, is there any better stuff?

[chrome beacon]

If they're both AI controlled you can override the AI behavior to change both directions

[fierce whale]

Wow it's so hard 😅
thx 🙂

[lucid gazelle]

wait what's Location.toCenterLocation() ?

[echo basalt]

it just returns like

[lucid gazelle]

ah wait that's your own method

[echo basalt]

nope

part of the Location class

[lucid gazelle]

wait what API version are u using?

[echo basalt]

1.19.2

[chrome beacon]

Let me guess you're on 1.8

[lucid gazelle]

i'm on 1.19 too

1.19.4

[chrome beacon]

🤔

[chrome beacon]

Wait that's a Paper only method :kekw:

[echo basalt]

wut

[lucid gazelle]

yea i just saw

[echo basalt]

it's literally surrounded by // paper end // paper start

figured it'd be a bukkit thing

[lucid gazelle]

lmao weird

[lucid gazelle]

also, where's the Frame class from?

[lucid gazelle]

paper?

[echo basalt]

nah

just my own thing

[lucid gazelle]

ah

[lucid gazelle]

and wb the Effect class?

[echo basalt]

useless as previously stated

just a List<Frame> wrapper

[lucid gazelle]

ah

[echo basalt]

this isn't really worth copying honestly

has no workload distribution builtin or anything

[lucid gazelle]

what does the getFrames() return?

[echo basalt]

the list..

I am telling you it's literally a list wrapper

[lucid gazelle]

ohhh

[echo basalt]

and a render method that's useless because you're overriding it anyways

[lucid gazelle]

yeah i got that

ty

[terse pumice]

Is it possible to use hex colours in the action bar?

[chrome beacon]

Yes

[tardy delta]

yes

[echo basalt]

How performant is it?

And how easy would it be to impl more functions

[tardy delta]

looking into units of tens of microseconds

and adding more functions is fairly easy, just look at the readme

https://github.com/FourteenBrush/MathExpressionParser

[echo basalt]

What happens if you input invalid data

[fading kite]

Hello! In the plugin called oraxen, even if I change the size of my rank "cards", nothing changes on the server, it stays the same. Anyone have any ideas/advice?

[tardy delta]

in where

[chrome beacon]

you should ask in the Oraxen discord

[echo basalt]

Input

[tardy delta]

well what kind of input? functions?

[echo basalt]

Uhm

[fading kite]

Oh, could you send me an invitation please?

[echo basalt]

Just anything weird honestly

[tardy delta]

smth like round(12.345, -2) would throw

its the responsibility of the end user to wrap the exception

[chrome beacon]

Click the ask questions / get support button on their spigot page

[echo basalt]

Perfect

[echo basalt]

I have my own lil scripting parser thing so

I wanted to add math to if checks, conditions etc

[tardy delta]

feel free to inform me about the progress

[echo basalt]

It should be rather quick

[tardy delta]

i should be using jitpack or smth lol

lemme fix that rq

[echo basalt]

90% chance we'll just fork and shade

One weird thing idk how I'd do would be converting ints and all

Like

[tardy delta]

you can specify you want an int in a function declaration

[opal juniper]

@echo basalt use crunch?

[echo basalt]

if randint(0, 1)=1-1

[tardy delta]

hmm?

[echo basalt]

ehh no

isn't that redempt's thing

[tardy delta]

ye

[echo basalt]

ye nah I have beef with him

[opal juniper]

yep it’s very fast

ugh petty

[echo basalt]

also last time I followed one of your suggestions I ended up wasting 6 hours on pathethic

[tardy delta]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/803841795838181376.webp?size=48&name=PepeLaugh&quality=lossless

[echo basalt]

had to rewrite the nms to work on 1.18.2 and instead of trying to pathfind towards a location the npc would just fly there lmao

[opal juniper]

i never reccomended it lol

you asked

also, 1.18.2, ew

[rough drift]

should I consider redstone ore interactable or not?

[chrome beacon]

For what use case?

[rough drift]

Checking if a block is interactable lmao?

[eternal oxide]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/Material.html#isInteractable()

[chrome beacon]

then yes it is interactible

[rough drift]

It returns true for piston heads as well for example, so you know just wanted an opinion if I should consider redstone interactable @eternal oxide

[eternal oxide]

yes

[rough drift]

Because some blocks just don't do anything on interaction though they are still interactable

[eternal oxide]

follow teh API and you won;t go wrong

[orchid gazelle]

Omg Icant those people in the queue-line in front of me

[lucid gazelle]

the reversed frames doesn't seem to work

[eternal oxide]

Because you don't see something happen doesn't mean it can't

[lucid gazelle]

only the top half works

[orchid gazelle]

They legit now already took 10 minutes to buy a fucking ticket???

[rough drift]

oh yeah because waterlogging and stuff right?

[eternal oxide]

yep

[orchid gazelle]

Cauldrons

?

[rough drift]

I just need to then check if the block is waterloggable and the player is holding a bucket (empty bucket, waterlogged; full bucket, not waterlogged) and consider that as well?

[eternal oxide]

becomes WATER_CAULRON when correctly interacted with

[rough drift]

Yeah, I don't know how to check if a block is waterloggable

oh

figured it

[echo basalt]

show code

[lucid gazelle]

new FramedEffect(plugin, frames, 20).render(location.getWorld());
new FramedEffect(plugin, reverseFrames, 20).render(location.getWorld());```

its the same as u gave

[eternal oxide]

instance check of BlockData https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/block/data/Waterlogged.html#setWaterlogged(boolean)

if instanceof it can be waterlogged

[lucid gazelle]

wait i think for the reverse frames, the y pos should be -1 right?

[echo basalt]

no it's just the same for both

[lucid gazelle]

since it starts from the bottom of the block

[echo basalt]

the reversing already does all the funky math for you as it just plays backwards

[lucid gazelle]

but the original frames only render on the top half right?

so the reverse frames should render on the bottom half no?

[echo basalt]

ugh let's break this down

The full animation consists of a single wave going top -> bottom

Without changing the math, and just reversing all the frames, it become bottom -> top

Now, play both at the same time

and you have the desired effect

[lucid gazelle]

oh

[lucid gazelle]

for me, it only renders to half of the block

did u change the getHollowCube method in your example?

[echo basalt]

uhh no

math should be the same

[echo basalt]

set the DESCENT variable to 1

[lucid gazelle]

ah i see

yeah mb

[tardy delta]

@echo basalt added a jitpack repo if you need it

[native ruin]

i am having trouble having the effect packet work on other players
the packet works fine if i am the target of the effect and the packet
but if the target of the effect is another player but the packet target is still me
i am not able to see the affect (ive been using glowing and invisibility effect so it would be visable for the packet target)
I am using my normal account and an offline account to test this on my localhost server
could the offline account be the problem or could it be something else?

[echo basalt]

Well

Glowing and invisibility are easier to handle in a different, easier way

and usually handled that way regardless

Glowing is part of entity metadata

And invisibility, well

You can just send a packet to remove the target entity

[native ruin]

invisibility and glowing is just so i can see it happen on the account that got sent the packet so this could be any effect

[echo basalt]

Yeah true but

Invisibility and glowing are the 2 weird cases that actually affect how the player's rendered

the effect packet just dictates what potion effects an entity has

[native ruin]

it doesn't actually apply the effect?

just the timer thingy

[echo basalt]

Never played with it enough but I'd assume not

It just does the timer thing, yes

[native ruin]

oh ok that is fine then

thanks for the help

[echo basalt]

Well I'm not going to teach you the basics

[native ruin]

get the config and then use set()

[echo basalt]

buut

a little googling goes a long way

https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/config-files/

[shell robin]

    @EventHandler
    public void onPlayerChat(AsyncPlayerChatEvent event) {
        String message = event.getMessage().toLowerCase();

        for (String sozcuk : bannedWords) {

                break;
            }
        }
    }```
yml file says asd but when I type asd in chat the message is not blocked

[hazy parrot]

we don't know what korumaSozcukleri is

i highly suggest to use english words for variables

[shell robin]

oh sorry

i will translate

[echo basalt]

just write code in english

it's like

20x easier

[drowsy helm]

print out all the values in bannedWords and see why its not matching

[shell robin]

i'll take care thank you

[shell robin]

there is only one word in yml, when i write it, i don't get any error in console

[drowsy helm]

yeah im saying print out whats in bannedWords

make sure its loading correctly

[echo basalt]

hm I just thought about a really nice concept

that will take some annoying math and redesigning to do

[shell robin]

oh sorry now i get it

[echo basalt]

well

math

more like

2tb of ram

I wonder how smooth this'll be

[shell robin]

words in yml are not reflected in console output

[echo basalt]

So your list is empty

[shell robin]

but yml is not empty

[drowsy helm]

so you're not loading it correctly

[shell robin]

1 min i will check it

[echo basalt]

man sometimes I wish I wasn't a developer and could just pay someone for my crazy thoughts

because this is an annoying math issue

[flint coyote]

developers can also pay developers

[echo basalt]

true but this is rather advanced

[drowsy helm]

no ones stopping you lol

[flint coyote]

there are advanced developers

they are pricey though

[echo basalt]

yeah I'm one of them

but this is a proof of concept that's like

100 ish bucks to code

and I don't have that kind of money

[drowsy helm]

$100?

[flint coyote]

100 doesn't sound like alot

[drowsy helm]

cant be that complex

100 is like 2-3 hrs of work lol

[flint coyote]

I'd work 3 hours max for that price

4 if I like the idea lol

[echo basalt]

yeah

it's a proof of concept that takes like 3 hours to make

that's annoying

I'm too depressed to be working 3 hours

[flint coyote]

3 hours is nothing lol. I'm working on an engine since at least 100 hours and I'm far from done

[flint coyote]

I mean it does work but I'm not happy with it yet

[shell robin]

my brain is on fire

[echo basalt]

you aren't the only one

[drowsy helm]

that looks fine to me

can i see the config itself

[echo basalt]

Currently working on 2-3 projects

biggest one's around 40k lines

Smallest one's around 5k lines

[flint coyote]

well mine is mostly reflection and parsing - take time to make everything consistent. dunno about the lines. It's about 190kb without any libs

[echo basalt]

yeah mine's around 1mb without any libs

[shell robin]

# chatkoruma.yml

# Mesajlarda kontrol edilecek sözcüklerin listesi
bannedWords:
  - a
  - b
  - c
  - d
  - e
  - f

[drowsy helm]

programming dick measuring competition going on

[drowsy helm]

Um nothing seems off

maybe we're both missing something

[shell robin]

i don't realize anything i'm doing right now

my brain on fire

[flint coyote]

I'm never flexing with anything programming related

I'm proud of my work. Sometimes more sometimes less. Flexing is too much though

[drowsy helm]

oh

whats this korumaSozcukleri = config.getStringList("bannedWords")

why are you not doing

bannedWords =  config.getStringList("bannedWords");

or is that the translation

[shell robin]

yeah thats a translation

bannedWords or korumaSozcukleri

the same thing

[flint coyote]

I agree with the others. Please code in english

[tardy delta]

had to look at turkish code yesterday

[shell robin]

you are all right

[drowsy helm]

yeah im not sure tbh

maybe the list is being changed somewhere else?

[shell robin]

how can i check it

[drowsy helm]

print it's contents immediately after you load it

see if its empty

    private void loadConfig() {
        FileConfiguration config = getConfig();
        getConfig().getStringList("bannedWords");
        korumaSozcukleri = config.getStringList("bannedWords");
        printKorumaSozcukleri();
    }

like that

[echo basalt]

ok I used my brain

this might be nice

this'll either be really choppy or really smooth

[shell robin]

i did it
yml is not empty but list is empty

but how

[drowsy helm]

can you send me the untranslated version

[wide cipher]

im trying to make it so when I right click with a specific item, it deletes 1 of those items, but when i do it it deletes all of them in my inventory. Can someone help? This is the code: @EventHandler

if (event.getAction().equals(Action.RIGHT_CLICK_AIR)){
ItemStack item = player.getItemInHand();
String name = item.getItemMeta().getDisplayName();

            Inventory inv = player.getInventory();
            inv.removeItem(item);

[flint coyote]

use setAmount and only remove when the current amout is 1

[wide cipher]

but what if it is in a stack, is there a way to only remove 1 of them?

[flint coyote]

Yes

[wide cipher]

how? 😦

[flint coyote]

stack.setAmount(stack.getAmount() -1);

[wide cipher]

oh

ok ill try that

[remote swallow]

You get the string list from config.yml when im guessing its in chatkoruma.yml

[drowsy helm]

ooh you're right

[shell robin]

I am very confused with config.yml codes and chatkoruma.yml codes in the same class

[wide cipher]

THANK YOU it worked

[flint coyote]

yw

[shell robin]

can you tell me what i should do

[drowsy helm]

getConfig() will by default use config.yml

https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/config-files/

check out the bottom of that

Using Custom Configurations

[shell robin]

oh

okay

thanks

If I add the korumaSozcukleri directly to the config, will it work?

[drowsy helm]

to config.yml?

yes

[wide coyote]

I am also Turkish but I code in English to make the code future proof, it helps other developers to help and actually understand the code

I recommend doing the same

[eternal oxide]

you never set bannedwords so your list is null

ignore me, I was scrolled up 🙂

[flint coyote]

I hate this. Happened to me a lot

[split gull]

im trying to hide command log messages from console for commands that start like that but this doesn't do anythingvb Bukkit.getLogger().setFilter(message -> message.getMessage().startsWith("/component-click-"));

[hollow grotto]

What's wrong with this that it resulted this error?
https://sourceb.in/UQTQBop7Vj

[eternal oxide]

are you messing with NPC's?

[tardy delta]

are we talking about void smth(Enum<?>... e)?

enum constants you mean, work with the ordinal

myMethod(INFO.ordinal() | PREDICATE.ordinal())

wdym

no implicit conversions from enum to int in java ;(

[hollow grotto]

Nope

[tardy delta]

wdym with native

[eternal oxide]

You are removing items from teh player in the interact event

[hollow grotto]

that's not allowed?

[tardy delta]

i thought we were talking about java 💀

[eternal oxide]

Quick google search https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/java-lang-assertionerror-trap.498861/

[hollow grotto]

could be, will just adjust the code then, and see if it works..

[tardy delta]

how would you do it in c++ 👀 just interested

thats what i was thinking of, but you needed enums 🤔

[split gull]

can somebody please help me with this?

[eternal oxide]

sysout the message so you can see what it contains

[hollow grotto]

not the solution

[eternal oxide]

you are changing an item to null during the event

causing the assertion error

[dense geyser]

im trying to put a textcomponent in a book so it can detect click events but its just appearing as json text lol, I can't find any methods other than this one to add the text, anyone have any ideas?

BaseComponent[] comp = TextComponent.fromLegacyText(ChatColor.RED + "HI!");
for (BaseComponent bc : comp) {
    bc.setClickEvent(new ClickEvent(ClickEvent.Action.RUN_COMMAND, "/yes"));
}
meta.addPage(ComponentSerializer.toString(comp));

for clarity, this is 1.8

yeah I thought the componentserializer might've been an ezpz nms workthrough, can't find anything different lol, not sure why it would be showing as json text though unless I'm being stupid

WAIT

I think I might just be being stupid

[blazing ocean]

hello, i can't quite figure out how to fill blocks between coordinates, other than using the fill command, i can't use that because the player doesn't have permissions to do that. i don't quite understand how to loop the blocks in the area

[dense geyser]

maybe not, actually, thought i'd missed the ichatbasecomponent

[blazing ocean]

got an idea, i can make a placeevent and add the location to a list, then just remove every block from that list

[dense geyser]

nevermind, I am stupid, idk why posting it helps me think, basically, in 1.8 you can only add strings to books through the spigot API which is why my json wasn't working, so I just used reflection to expose the actual pages arraylist in nms, added the base component to that (because all spigot does is turns the string in the api to a base component) and it worked

but grazie

[orchid gazelle]

ITALIAN?

[dense geyser]

also idk if they changed it, in 1.8, TextComponent#fromLegacyText returns a BaseComponent[] array, so I can't ;-;

rip

what ya tryna do lol

[chrome beacon]

https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/the-chat-component-api/

[orchid gazelle]

Just use Strings KEKW

[chrome beacon]

Can't do fancy things with strings

[dense geyser]

yeeee, I'm using packets to open a fake book so players can click an option to report a player, strings aren't fabulous enough :((

I agree

paper tried to do it didn't they and nobody could be assed so they just kept using spigotapi for everything

[orchid gazelle]

I kind of wanna make a text input field with books

And disable darkening, make book smaller and customize look

But idk if its possible

[dense geyser]

yeah the paper API removed ALL strings and replaced them with the component API (not the text component API, their own stupid difficult thing for new people to use)

[orchid gazelle]

With resourcepacks ofc

[chrome beacon]

With a resource pack you can

[dense geyser]

texture packs :donger:

[orchid gazelle]

Would need core shaders huh?

[dense geyser]

to newer people it tends to be a thing they need to get their head round if they've used usual strings for ages

[chrome beacon]

paper should come with MiniMessage now

[dense geyser]

personally ive never used it cause im a lazy ass

[orchid gazelle]

I'd never use paper api

Its even more anti-legacy than spigot api

[eternal night]

anti-legacy

[orchid gazelle]

^ and that

[dense geyser]

you sent that message, my discord tried to make me automatically buy nitro and then crashed, what on earth

[eternal night]

[orchid gazelle]

Imagine accidently clicking on "confirm transaction"

And then subbing for a year of nitro and 1000 boosts

[dense geyser]

I've got it on my main, I think there's a £2 version of it

[young knoll]

Spigot also has components smh

[dense geyser]

its basically buying to use emotes in other servers

yes we know

[young knoll]

Why not

[orchid gazelle]

Whats the performance and stability diff of paper vs spigot?

Who cares about load time bro

Servers boot in 2 seconds anyways

[young knoll]

Spigot should be more stable

[orchid gazelle]

We aint in forge lmao

[young knoll]

Since we don’t make nearly as many invasive changes to the server

[dense geyser]

the forge discord would ban you, dox you, put a bounty on your head and bomb your house for mentioning you code on any version below the current latest

[young knoll]

Source?

[twilit roost]

how do I decompile Bukkit to get the default ChunkGenerator code?
I just want to slightly modify it

[young knoll]

Lol so will paper

[dense geyser]

buildtools

[young knoll]

Well, not quite but they won’t help you

[twilit roost]

ty

[eternal night]

paperclip is how paper is distributed

yes

[young knoll]

It’s just a fancy way to run buildtools at runtime essentially

There was a spigotclip before

[eternal night]

I mean, it is pretty far off buildtools

[quiet ice]

Yeah paperclip just applies a binary patch on the notchian server impl

[young knoll]

Well

Close enough to buildtools

Shh

[eternal night]

[quiet ice]

Yeah

[eternal night]

wasn't it like

compiled and hosted on a random github

[quiet ice]

https://github.com/lucyydotp/spigotclip

[opal juniper]

yes

it sucks

[split gull]

weee frate

(I have no idea who you are but it seems we speak the same language)

btw i've managed to do the console command message thing

[opal juniper]

its almost as if its original name sounds better than a hacky mashup

[quiet ice]

I think it does sound good

[twilit roost]

does one have a good guide on ChunkGeneration?
Im trying to make mainly ocean and sometimes some cool looking islands
yet I can't seem to get it working.

[quiet ice]

I'd honestly wait until 1.20 and the material rewrite v2.0 which also affects many other enums such as the biome enum before starting on chunk gen

[twilit roost]

well it makes sense, but I don't think it will take me just a few hours to setup after the update, so I want to get the hand of it sooner

also did someone crack those riddles and knows release dates?

[opal juniper]

June 7th?

[twilit roost]

oh
i have mistakend those riddles with their other game :D

[quiet ice]

It's always a Wednesday. So either May 31st or June 7th

You mean the package-info.java class?

AI moment

[twilit roost]

change display mode
or smthing

[quiet ice]

Ah that is an user issue then

Learn to use your IDE lol

[twilit roost]

untick this

[quiet ice]

At least Eclipse hides empty packages, I assume that is what you are seeing

Yep. that is what you are seeing

[eternal oxide]

I'm guessing you had your economy package selected when you told it to create orbs

[quiet ice]

You need to manually insert the full path then

Shouldn't be too hard really

[tardy delta]

skill issue

jetbrains products have been fucking up the latest time

[worldly ingot]

I'm still happy with my Eclipse

[tardy delta]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/525185409693515787.webp?size=48&name=eclipsethonk&quality=lossless

[worldly ingot]

I just wish they'd add more features in their releases. They've slowed down on that front for the last couple releases and it's annoying

There's only ever like one or two things to look forward to and they're so minor

[tardy delta]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/525185345793425408.webp?size=48&name=intellithonk&quality=lossless

[worldly ingot]

Like this is the only thing I'm excited for in the next release!

A CONTEXT MENU ITEM

[tardy delta]

ugh white mode

[worldly ingot]

I just hate having to press Alt + Shift + H sometimes

[tardy delta]

is the "quick actions" thing still like, "cant find method String#whatever, lets cast that string to a Player"

atleast that was how good it was when i used it 💀

[worldly ingot]

Yeah because it's a valid solution sometimes. Other suggestions include changing the method signature or the variable type. What more do you expect from quick fixes?

[tardy delta]

that it stays quiet instead 💀

[worldly ingot]

If it's part of the hierarchy it will suggest a cast

[tardy delta]

dang it improved

light mode, really...

[worldly ingot]

Yeah. Eclipse's dark mode is kind of awkward

It's the only app I still use in light mode

Tried. Hate them all and the preferences don't always save

[tardy delta]

ew

[quiet ice]

Eclipse's dark mode is a hit-or-miss

JDT is okay, CDT not at all

[tardy delta]

themes

[worldly ingot]

At the end of the day, I still write good code 🙂

[tardy delta]

thats the spirit

[worldly ingot]

Well, I hope so

[tardy delta]

my man thought it was a good idea to let every getConfig call (which gets smth from a json file) parse the whole json file, measured it 💀

[twilit roost]

how do I make ArmorStand head bigger? as big as normal block

[kindred valley]

Tp

Dont use statics

[chrome beacon]

If you're on 1.19.4 use display entities

[twilit roost]

ye im
didn't hear of them
imma give them a try! thanks

how are they called in API? :D

[kindred valley]

static abuser

[tardy delta]

oh man he calls that nearly 40 times on startup, thats about 30ms gone man

[kindred valley]

no need to be angry man i just I suggested

[smoky anchor]

ItemDisplay, BlockDisplay, TextDisplay

[kindred valley]

This guy is too angry

[twilit roost]

tysm

[quaint mantle]

Does anyone know how can I make a timer in the scoreboard from Tab List plugin

[kindred valley]

[kindred valley]

#help-server

[quaint mantle]

im here

ok

[quaint mantle]

Bit of a gobshite though arent ya

[kindred valley]

nope

Guy is aggresive

[twilit roost]

can they be walked on? somehow

[chrome beacon]

You can create hitboxes

Not sure if you can walk on them though

[warm mica]

You could use invisible shulker boxes and wrap the display entity around it

[worldly ingot]

Praying for a CollisionEnabled NBT tag on hitbox entities in 1.21

[shadow night]

what event is triggered when the player picks up an arrow?

[worldly ingot]

PlayerPickupArrowEvent ;p

[worldly ingot]

What version?

[shadow night]

1.8

[worldly ingot]

I added it in 1.9 I believe

If I'm not mistaken, pickup item is called but there's no distinction between arrow items and arrow entities

[shadow night]

1.8 is so awful, I had to do so much already just because half the stuff does not exist and I can't even switch to 1.9

[worldly ingot]

Yeah, I mean that event was literally added 7 years ago

It was actually my first ever contribution to Bukkit

[shadow night]

I'm gonna die in this awful 1.8

[twilit roost]

how do I get BlockData of unlit campfire?

[shadow night]

I wish I could switch to 1.9

[worldly ingot]

Same as any other block. Block#getBlockData()

I'll let you guess which specific type of BlockData it returns 😛

[ancient plank]

THE block data

[twilit roost]

okay but how do I make unlit campfire? I tried getting its BlockData and setting lit to false, but there isn't any lit or smthing

[kindred valley]

Its okay mate. I dont judge you

[worldly ingot]

Did you re-set the block data?

Block#setBlockData()

[twilit roost]

the problem's that there's no lit variable to be set

[worldly ingot]

Sure there is. Campfire#setLit(false)

[kindred valley]

You do

[twilit roost]

or even when I cast it to Campfire

[worldly ingot]

You're importing the wrong Campfire

org.bukkit.block.Campfire vs org.bukkit.block.data.type.Campfire

[kindred valley]

🤠

[twilit roost]

oh my
i was importing the shorter path :D
tysm

[blazing ocean]

sorry if this might be considered spoonfeeding but i would have the command /fill 41 55 -11 62 58 -11 with corner 1 being 41 55 -11 and corner 2 being 62 58 -11, how would i make a loop out of that?

[worldly ingot]

Think about it this way. You want to go from x -> maxX, y -> maxY, and z -> maxZ

How would you go from one value to another using a for loop?

[blazing ocean]

you would have i = x; i + 1; if i = maxX; return, something like that (just some pseudocode) and then the whole thing with the other coords

would you just do that or is it more complicated

[orchid gazelle]

i++ better

[worldly ingot]

for (int i = 0; i <= 10; i++), so there's i from 0 to 10

Now if you wanted to go from, say, 50 to 100, your loop would look like for (int i = 50; i <= 100; i++)

[blazing ocean]

yes, that's what i meant, is it just that?

because i thought it was more complicated

[worldly ingot]

Pretty much. Only instead of one loop, you have 3 numbers you want to loop over, right?

[orchid gazelle]

Notice that the 50 and the 0 will get called to

So its 11 iterates

Or would it?

[worldly ingot]

Yeah. For a fill you'll want that

[blazing ocean]

yes

[worldly ingot]

And if you want a volumetric loop, you'll just have to nest those loops

for (x) {
    for (y) {
        for (z) {
            Block block = world.getBlockAt(x, y, z);
        }
    }
}```

I'm sure you can fill out those for loops knowing what you know now 😄

[blazing ocean]

okay, thank you very much!

[split gull]

is there a way to get which page of a book a player is currently viewing (not from a lectern)?

[vast ledge]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/inventory/InventoryView.Property.html#BOOK_PAGE

sorry wrong doc

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/inventory/meta/BookMeta.html

[split gull]

i said not froma lectern

[vast ledge]

#getPage()

[split gull]

kk

it's not a thing

there's only getPage(int page)

[vast ledge]

rip

i think you can only get it from a lectern

but imma keep lookin

[split gull]

its probably clientside

i've also looked at packets

nothing there afaik

[vast ledge]

Yea, the book is client side

Like in this thread

https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/how-to-open-a-book-on-a-different-page.334661/

[rotund pond]

Hello everyone
I have a little question

I'm looking for something to get all files in resources 😅
Do you think it's possible with spigot ? I've found Plugin#getRessource but it's made to get one file with a specific name :/

[vital sandal]

are there any other way to track if player teleported to other world rather than PlayerTeleportEvent and PlayerChangeWorldEvent?

as if player is teleported by Multiverse non of 2 events are called

and It seem there is no event api in multiverse either

[ember estuary]

In Java, can i somehow run code after the child constructor, without explicitly calling it in the child constructor?

[rotund ravine]

Not in the way you wish.

[ember estuary]

I know i could just not use constructors and put it into functions, but thats kinda shit

[rotund ravine]

There is an init block, but that runs before.

[ember estuary]

yea, chatGPT suggested that too, but if it runs before its of no use

[vital sandal]

? static function

[rotund ravine]

No?

[ember estuary]

its nonstatic stuff tho

[rotund ravine]

Just call it from the constructor

[ember estuary]

and it should be called after every child constructor call

[ember estuary]

from the child constructor?

but that sucks, if i have to do that for every child :/

[vital sandal]

:l? why

[blazing ocean]

hello, how do you show hud titles (like those on top of the hotbar)? and if so, i would need to update it every 5-10 milliseconds (because i'm making a stopwatch). is that possible?

[vital sandal]

so do abstract class

[ember estuary]

it is

the parent class is

[vital sandal]

yeh so what the problem with it?

[ember estuary]

well, how does that solve the problem?

[vital sandal]

you don't need to repeat it?

[ember estuary]

whaat, how

[hazy parrot]

?xy ig

[undone axle]

http://xyproblem.info/

[ember estuary]

?

how am i asking about my solution

i dont have a solution

[vital sandal]

so code pls?

just an example one

[hazy parrot]

You haven't explained actual problem

[ember estuary]

Parent:

    public MapMenu(Player player, ItemStack map) {
        canvas = new Canvas(mapView);
        window = new Window(canvas);

        this.onLoad(); <--- Should always be called, and always after child constructor, because it needs the stuff which is created in the child constuctor
    }

    protected abstract void onLoad();

Child:

    public ChallengeMapMenu(Player player, ItemStack map) {
        super(player, map);

        defaultButton = ImageIO.read(Objects.requireNonNull(this.getClass().getResourceAsStream("/images/DefaultButton.png")));
    }

    @Override
    protected void onLoad() {
       // 100 lines of code that create a new map which i do not want to put in the constructor because I don't like having hugeee constructors and i want this to be able to be called manually later
    }

That's the code.
I don't wanna have to call this.onLoad() at the end of every child constructor. I would like to have that call at one place, no duplicate code.
And I don't wanna put the onLoad stuff in the child's constructor, for the reasons mentioned.

So yeah, I hope my code made my question more clear? Basically i automatically wanna call onLoad of the child class after the child constructor is finished.

[rotund ravine]

super()

[vast ledge]

?

[ember estuary]

what? where?

[vast ledge]

super(player, map)

in the Child

[ember estuary]

what about it?

[vast ledge]

idk

[rotund pond]

If anyone is interested, here is the solution I decided to implement:
I created an enumeration with all the config files I will have. And I loop on this enumeration.

[vast ledge]

he just said super)=

[hazy parrot]

Nah you can't do that in java, you have to split methods

Parent constructor always must be called first

[ember estuary]

oof, hmm :/

[hazy parrot]

I actually don't know language where that isn't the case

super() isn't useful as it must be first method in child constructor, you can't postpone it

[vast ledge]

Is there a way i can optimize this?

[desert loom]

I don't think what you want is possible. There is also a problem with calling overridable methods in the constructor.

Consider the following:

public abstract class SuperClass {

    public SuperClass() {
        onLoad();
    }

    public abstract void onLoad();
}


public class ChildClass extends SuperClass {

    private final Object myObject;

    public ChildClass(Object myObject) {
        this.myObject = Objects.requireNonNull(myObject);
    }

    @Override
    public void onLoad() {
        System.out.println(myObject); // prints null even though this shouldn't be possible
    }
}

[vital sandal]

use single instance/dependency injection instead of static

[vast ledge]

wdym

oh

[night verge]

I'm making a smithing recipe and I've noticed I cannot use a custom item as the RecipeChoice base, but it's fine to use a custom item as the RecipeChoice addition.
Is it a bug or there are some reasons for not being able to do that?

[ember estuary]

Parent:

    public MapMenu(Player player, ItemStack map) {
        canvas = new Canvas(mapView);
        window = new Window(canvas);

        this.init();
        this.onLoad();
    }

    protected abstract void init();
    protected abstract void onLoad();

Child:

    public ChallengeMapMenu(Player player, ItemStack map) {
        super(player, map);
    }

    @Override
    protected void init() {
      defaultButton = ImageIO.read(Objects.requireNonNull(this.getClass().getResourceAsStream("/images/DefaultButton.png")));
    }

    @Override
    protected void onLoad() {
       // 100 lines of code that create a new map which i do not want to put in the constructor because I don't like having hugeee constructors and i want this to be able to be called manually later
    }

So the only way is doing it like this, i guess?

[hazy parrot]

Why you don't just run onLoad in child constructor, why it must be in parent?

[vast ledge]

This is my full class, i can make my Connect function return an instance with all the functions so its no longer static abusing

[ember estuary]

duplicate code

[tardy delta]

too much work to zoom in

[vital sandal]

so extend the child class?

and you will have grand child class

[hazy parrot]

Well, it's only one line, I like it more then init method

[desert loom]

also look at the problem I posted above

[vital sandal]

you can do public final class if you mark that class as utilities

[vital sandal]

it is still the same :l

[ember estuary]

Didn't you forgot a super call in the child class?

[vital sandal]

having supper() or not doesn't change the fact that constructor always called first

[desert loom]

the super() is implicit

since the super consturctor is called first, the state in ChildClass is not initialized by the time onLoad() is called

leading to myObject being null when it shouldn't

[opal juniper]

this is complete overuse of static

[ember estuary]

ah true, forgot java does that

but yea, thats exactly the problem i had

[desert loom]

I think your best bet is probably going for a private init method if you really don't want a big constructor

[vast ledge]

I have revised my static abuse,

Class "MongoUtility.java"

Class MongoConnector.java

[quiet ice]

Out of Context?

[vast ledge]

?

[quiet ice]

You'll realize it

[vast ledge]

oh

ooc = out of context

[quiet ice]

Ah meanwhile I thought there was some new design philosophy I would disagree wholeheartedly with

[onyx fjord]

how do i get the server default "no perm" message?

[rotund pond]

Can you please give code instead of screenshots ? 😢

[tardy delta]

MongoUtility sounds so insulting in my language lol

[vast ledge]

is there a way i can pre create "Async Tasks" would i go about it like this:

    public Profile t(UUID uuid){
        Bukkit.getScheduler().runTaskAsynchronously(OcsolirCore.getInstance(), new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                retrieveProfile(uuid);
            }
        });
    }

Or would i create a bukkit runnable

then execute it as an async

[hushed spindle]

yeah you can create a bukkitrunnable without immediately running it if thats what you mean

[vast ledge]

Would it be better to do that

[hushed spindle]

i dunno why do you need it

[vast ledge]

or to create a method like i showed?

[tardy delta]

it just creates an object, nothing more

[hushed spindle]

whats the goal here

[tardy delta]

BukkitScheduler.runTaskAsync creates a BukkitTask internally

[vast ledge]

To optimize the getting/setting of ranks in a mongo database

[hushed spindle]

if its a single task you're running async then no you dont need to worry about performance much

i'd just fetch data when player joins, persist when player leaves

and also recommend saving data periodically to account for crashes

[onyx fjord]

?

wut

[vast ledge]

Ye thats what im doing, im trying to get it down to the tiniest spec that it doesnt yeet server performace if a lot of people joined suddenly

[hushed spindle]

if you worry more about that you might want to consider just loading in most profiles on server startup, but thats obviously big on memory

[vast ledge]

I mean how would i go about that

[hushed spindle]

if you're doing that you'll also want to purge profiles that made little to no progress

wdym you just do what you do with one person with everyone in the database

[quaint mantle]

can i remove a players permission as they leave? I have a permission i want to give to players that are in the que and if they disconect i want to remove them from the que

[hushed spindle]

sure

[quaint mantle]

okay

[vast ledge]

yea player.removePermission()

[night verge]

Hello, I am wondering why is the first code works perfectly, while the second doesn't?

Bukkit.addRecipe(recipe1);

SmithingRecipe recipe2 = new SmithingRecipe(new NamespacedKey(plugin, "recipe2"), customitem2, new RecipeChoice.ExactChoice(customitem), new RecipeChoice.ExactChoice(new ItemStack(Material.IRON_INGOT)));
Bukkit.addRecipe(recipe2);```

[tardy delta]

why not working with pdc flags?

[hushed spindle]

playerquitevents happen before the player has actually left so you can access the player object just fine

[quaint mantle]

i know how to remove perms

[quaint mantle]

yh that was what i was concerned about thx

[zinc lintel]

does anyone know how i can make a block spreading plugin with the WorldEdit api?

[vast ledge]

what

That

help

Oh

yea

ok

no

idk why

cant explain

doesnt make sense

I save the player data in a local hashmap with there UUID, so i can serach them up when i need them

[hushed spindle]

i also have a bit of question, is it possible to detect item lore changes with nms? i want to make a lore api to allow for dynamic item lore changes, without interfering with other plugins possible changing lore

like if another plugin wants to add lore it will still be able to but otherwise my plugin would handle the lore format on the item

[vast ledge]

I jsut dont want the server to have to call out for data

[hushed spindle]

thats not the issue, sending fake lore packets is fine

but i want to detect when the lore of an item is being changed

[vast ledge]

You can scan exiting packets and check if new lore gets sent

That probably be inefficeitn

[hushed spindle]

i dont care about the packets being sent to the player, i need to compare the before & after of an item's lore when its changed. essentially, i want to detect when setItemMeta() is being used

from any plugin

[vast ledge]

nutty 😆

[hushed spindle]

mmmmm

and another kinda not really related question, is it possible to space bits of text equally among several lines

basically making a table

maybe using negative space characers with a resource pack

all solutions ive found online involve things like guessing character widths and figure out how many spaces need to be between words to kinda get the spacing correct

yeah

but obviously such a character width guessing method would break if a player uses any font changing resource pack

pretty much yeah

but you can force item boxes to be a certain minimum size to make it fit so thats less of an issue

  462_73_-62:

the location is Espawners/spawners/pigs.yml

[onyx fjord]

can i bypass ItemStack size limit somehow?

[remote swallow]

iirc you have to change it in nms

[onyx fjord]

hell no

[sour folio]

Anyone have any idea?

[eternal oxide]

Its not going to read that file as live data

look to see if the plugin has an API

[sour folio]

its my plugin

[eternal oxide]

Then you should not be treating that data as live

[sour folio]

how should i

[eternal oxide]

you cache it in memory

then you periodically save it as needed

files are used to store data to be reused in the next session

Things you want to remember between server starts

[blazing ocean]

hello! i'm currently trying to display an actionbar using nms and an interval, because the string that gets shown constantly has to update (im working on a timer), but the server just stops responding after like 10 seconds and eventually crashes. is there a way of showing it and updating it every like 100ms? i've tried intervals ranging from 50ms to 500ms

this is my code right now: java while(Main.isRunning) { player.spigot().sendMessage(ChatMessageType.ACTION_BAR, new TextComponent(Main.formatTime(Main.getTime()))); TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.sleep(500); }

[eternal oxide]

run async, you can not sleep the main thread

[quaint mantle]

how can i make this spawncount int go up for every player so every player gets a unique spawn

[blazing ocean]

sorry, i'm still quite new, but how would i do that? (yes, i'm trying not to get spoonfed, just haven't really found anything useful)

[eternal oxide]

?scheduling

[undone axle]

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

[glossy venture]

use Bukkit.getScheduler().runTaskTimer

and check if its enabled in the task

if so do the logic

alternatively cancel the task when you disable your plugin

[blazing ocean]

so i would have to turn my method into a bukkitrunnable?

[glossy venture]

just put the code inside the while loop, excluding the sleep, inside a lambda

then put 10 ticks for the period (10t*50ms/t = 500 ms)

[blazing ocean]

so essentially like this from the wiki?

BukkitScheduler scheduler = Bukkit.getScheduler();
scheduler.runTaskTimer(plugin, () -> {
  Bukkit.broadcastMessage("Mooooo!");
}, 20L * 10L /*<-- the initial delay */, 20L * 5L /*<-- the interval */);```

[glossy venture]

yeah

and replacr the values

[blazing ocean]

okay, thanks

so 20L is just 20 ticks?

[remote swallow]

yeah

[blazing ocean]

okay

thanks

[glossy venture]

yeah

[blazing ocean]

okay, but now i get an error which says that the plugin is already initialized, i just used new Main() as plugin parameter, am i doing it wrong?

[glossy venture]

you cant instantiate your plugin class

?di to get the instance

[undone axle]

Guide to dependency injection: https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/using-dependency-injection/

[glossy venture]

or just do a static getter

[raw prairie]

Kotlin > Java in terms of syntax 🤥💯

[glossy venture]

really dont see issue with that

[raw prairie]

Pin this or gay

[ivory sleet]

will not get pinned

that much rest assured

[blazing ocean]

i can't do a static return this; in the Main class

non-static variable this cannot be referenced from a static context

[raw prairie]

Sadge

[glossy venture]

yeah use a static field

set it in onLoad

[twilit roost]

can I create ItemStack that looks like the black and purple cube?

[raw prairie]

Thats a texture

Error

[twilit roost]

ikr
i want to use the texture as a signal for me when I f something up in code

[raw prairie]

Idk

[ivory sleet]

I mean the texture is there to represent something else that's fucked up

[quaint mantle]

Anyone got a yt video that can explain me how to do working and bugless matchmaking

[ember estuary]

public class A extends B {
    private final byte BLACK = MapPalette.matchColor(0,0,0);

    public A(Player player) {
        super(player);
    }

    @Override
    protected void init() {
        System.out.println("Black: " + BLACK + " | " + MapPalette.matchColor(0,0,0));
    }
}


public abstract class B {
    public B(Player player) {
        this.init();
    }
   
    protected abstract void init();
}

Why does this print "Black: 0 | -49" instead of "Black: -49 | -49" ?

Shouldnt the BLACK = MapPalette.matchColor(0,0,0); be executed before the init method?

If I do

 public A(Player player) {
        super(player);
        System.out.println("Black: " + BLACK + " | " + MapPalette.matchColor(0,0,0));
 }

 @Override
 protected void init() {
   System.out.println("Black: " + BLACK + " | " + MapPalette.matchColor(0,0,0));
 }

it prints
"Black: 0 | -49"
"Black: -49 | -49"

does the BLACK = MapPalette.matchColor(0,0,0); only get called after the super constructor is finished? I don't get it...

[sour folio]

Im not to sure how to do it so i just changed my idea, i saved the current time after 60mins there instead so i wouldnt have to update it every 20s

[ivory sleet]

ye

can u be a bit more specific?

r u using some type of match making rank to match players up against each other?

[quaint mantle]

nope just basic machmaking

if theres 8-10 players in que i want a game session to be initialised

i have code that should work but only for 1 sessrion at a time

which sucks

[vital sandal]

any better way to store config values :l?

[ivory sleet]

yep

make it object oriented

[quaint mantle]

in a confug file?

[ivory sleet]

:)

[vital sandal]

I don't want a file with 80 getters

[ivory sleet]

no1 said u have to have 80 getters

[vital sandal]

so how could that be improve :l

[ivory sleet]

ever heard of sth like the producer consumer pattern?

[eternal oxide]

improve by using naming conventions

[ivory sleet]

well they're not breaking any name conventions technically (I assume the non final is intentional altho its prob not)

[eternal oxide]

I guess. I thought those were constants

[ivory sleet]

yea

[quaint mantle]

nope

[vital sandal]

not really :l

[ivory sleet]

okay, to make it simple use a queue collection

[celest sonnet]

OH MT GOD???

💀

[ivory sleet]

then u have two ways of dealing with the consumption and population of the queue drvoss

[celest sonnet]

There is actually no way

[ivory sleet]

either eagerly check the size of the queue when ever u push things to it

or u go async (id do this)

[quaint mantle]

yh thats what im already doing

[quaint mantle]

how exactly does that work tbh i never really understood it

bro not even my dad ghosted me that hard

[vital sandal]

:l I meant to load it into ram

[celest sonnet]

How would these be “config” values if they’re not even in a configuration

Doesn’t that go against like the whole point

[vital sandal]

my bad

[quaint mantle]

just load them when ever you need them instead of loading all at once

[vital sandal]

so like you load it everytime the object is called?

not a great idea :l

[quaint mantle]

well it depends on how often that value is needed

if its something that you need on every move event i agree with you

but

if its something being triggert every once in a while why waste ram on it

[vital sandal]

I mean :l that couldn't even more than 1mb I believe

[celest sonnet]

do you believe

[quaint mantle]

depends

if its jusr booleans yh

[vital sandal]

it does has lots of text but still not that big

[quaint mantle]

but if theres strings etc then

could become a lot

i mean a letter is like

[quaint mantle]

oh yh well then its fine ig

[vital sandal]

and there are lots of string eventually

[fresh timber]

So, I've been trying to make a custom health system on my plugin. I am trying to get the number out of the first lore on the head item and I'm getting an error. I've showed the helmet, error, and code. Can anyone tell me how I can fix this to get the health in the first lore and add it to the variable setMaxHealth in the code?

[undone axle]

https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/a-guide-to-1-14-persistentdataholder-api.371200/

[fresh timber]

is there a way to make attributes completely do nothing for armor or swords but still... be there

actually nvm ill just use pdc

[quaint mantle]

thats the way to go

[fresh timber]

yea

I always seem to forget pdc exists

so useful

[zenith gate]

Is there a way to use a runnable to check if 50 minecraft days have past? I want all spiders to attack every player every 50 minecraft days.

[delicate lynx]

you can calculate a day count

[quaint mantle]

hi, so I'm new making APIs with Spigot and I'm having this error:

[ERROR] Error occurred while enabling MiniGamesFun v1.0-SNAPSHOT (Is it up to date?)

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Plugin already initialized!
at com.donbaguette.arenaapi.ArenaAPI.<init>(ArenaAPI.java:10) ~[?:?]
at com.donbaguette.minigamesfun.MiniGamesFun.onEnable(MiniGamesFun.java:11) ~[?:?]
Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Initial initialization

(I only kept the useful lines)

My API main code:

public ArenaManager arenaManager;
    public Arena arena;
    public ConfigManager configManager;
    @Override
    public void onEnable() {
        // Plugin startup logic
        arena = new Arena();
        configManager = new ConfigManager(this);
        arenaManager = new ArenaManager(this, configManager);
    }

My plugin main code:

public void onEnable() {
        // Plugin startup logic
        ArenaAPI arenaAPI = new ArenaAPI();
        arenaAPI.configManager.createConfig();
        this.getCommand("mgf").setExecutor(new Commands());
    }

The line where I get the error (11):
ArenaAPI arenaAPI = new ArenaAPI();

Of course I already red the error and know that is caused because I initialized my API main class, but what I don't know is WHY I get that error.

[eternal oxide]

you can NOT create your own instance of your plugin

[zenith gate]

is this day count already a feature within the spigot api? or is this something i am going to have to create?

[quaint mantle]

I mean, I initialized the main class of my API into the main class of my main plugin

[pseudo hazel]

dont use a runnable, 50 * 20 minutes is a lot of time

[quaint mantle]

uh

[zenith gate]

What should I use instead?

[quaint mantle]

should I make my API static then?

what do you mean?

since other dude left just like my dad for the milk anyone else wanna carry the burden of explaining GOOD matchmaking to me?

[zenith gate]

I dont understand by what you mean of timestamps.

[pseudo hazel]

show the code you have in your main class

[quaint mantle]

everything's here

the last code is from the main class of the main plugin

[pseudo hazel]

i see

[ember estuary]

Whats the easiest way to see which packets my server sends to my client?

[pseudo hazel]

well you cant really have 2 plugin classes in 1 plugin can you?

i mean thats what I assume

[subtle folio]

why can’t doubles just be normal 😭

how2fix ?

[ember estuary]

round them

[pseudo hazel]

show code

[quaint mantle]

well, as I said I'm new at creating APIs, so I just followed a basic tutorial and tried to apply that to my logic, but didn't worked lmao

[vital sandal]

computers are bad at floating point :l

[subtle folio]

just for int i loop with 0.1 and += 0.1

[ember estuary]

Math.round(x * 10)/10

[subtle folio]

ig for double loop

ty

[quaint mantle]

so the issue should be fixed from the API or from the main plugin?

just asking so I can try to fix it

[quaint mantle]

plssss

[zenith gate]

in what sense?

[pseudo hazel]

usually apis that I use dont have a plugin class

[quaint mantle]

well matchmaking xd having a que of players and then start an instance of a game once there is enough players.

im struggling with having multible run AT THE SAME TIME

[quaint mantle]

they only have their normal classes instead of a main one and don't need to instantiate them?

running*

[pseudo hazel]

your api can still have a main class or smth, then just pass your plugin into the constructor or whatever

[zenith gate]

yes but like for what game? matchmaking can be different amongst so many different types of game. an action game, with a k/d or just mini games with a w/l it all depends on what game to have a decent matchmamking system.

[pseudo hazel]

so you could do something like api = new MyAPI(this) if that makes sense

where MyAPI is not a plugin

[quaint mantle]

i dont want any statistics influencing the matchmaking. Just really basic and simple.

[pseudo hazel]

but has a reference to your plugin

[quaint mantle]

its some kind of battle royal you could say

8-10 players in each session

last one standing wins

[zenith gate]

okay so what's the current problem? you want a matchmaking, how do you have this planned rn?

[hasty heron]

can anyone answer my question in #help-server

[quaint mantle]

so I should delete the main class of my API right? and then in my other classes (of my API) ask for the instance of my main plugin and use it?

[quaint mantle]

well rn all i do is give permissions to players in que and then when theres enough start a countdown, warp them etc. Works all fine. Just cant figure out how to host multible sessions at once

[pseudo hazel]

yes or just convert your main api class to not extend javaplugin

[zenith gate]

Okay, are you isolating the sessions? how are you creating the game or session.

[quaint mantle]

much easier lmao

[quaint mantle]

not yet bc i dont know how i dont have any sessions

let me test that

bc i cant for the love of god figure out how to do it propperly without it being all sketchi and overcomplicated

[zenith gate]

So you want to host multiple sessions. lets say 4 games at once. when the games start where would they go? just in a place around the world? i dont understand what the issue could be. you can hold most information in a HashMap, teleport the players to their own world, start the game, once they die or the game finishes, they get teleported back to the main location.

[quaint mantle]

just a little issue @pseudo hazel, I need an instance of my main plugin, but idk what type should I add, I mean that all my classes that nead a plugin instance I do it like MyPlugin myPlugin and then use for example myPlugin.getDataFolder()

[zenith gate]

i dont know what all your thing is, im jusut trying to piece thigns together.

[pseudo hazel]

cant you just use JavaPlugin?

[quaint mantle]

well they would spawn in a different world preferbly and fight until only one player is left. Then the game ends.

[zenith gate]

okay. so do that. for every session. they go into their own world.

[quaint mantle]

like JavaPlugin myPlugin? wtf

[remote swallow]

yeah

[quaint mantle]

ohh wait my bad

I'm just dumb

[pseudo hazel]

yes in your API class for sure

[quaint mantle]

yh but i dont understand how to use sessions. How do i differntciate between different sessions

[zenith gate]

tag them with an ID

[remote swallow]

int or uuid

[zenith gate]

you can ID pretty much everything

[quaint mantle]

okay lets say i have a player death event bc a player got killed i just run through all the ids and see if they match?

[remote swallow]

u could prob use pdc or something to tag what game their in or loop

[zenith gate]

i would use a pdc

[zenith gate]

what he said

[quaint mantle]

so basically just loop through ALL players every time something happens?

[zenith gate]

you can loop through that current session.

[quaint mantle]

to test if theres only one player left for example

[zenith gate]

those 10 players or whatever would be in their own session their own world

when they die, you alter that session.

[remote swallow]

you tag them with a key with the session id, then you can use that to do whatever

[zenith gate]

you would tag them of what session they are in

[quaint mantle]

okay let me try that thank you

[zenith gate]

itll probably be a lot of work lol. youll probably want to setup barriers and all of that. or even a custom world if you wish.

[quaint mantle]

okay @pseudo hazel I think almost everything works, I just have a little and last issue. I've made a ConfigManager but can't make it work with resource files that are in my main plugin (the ConfigManager is in my API)

[quaint mantle]

yh im already doing custom worlds
