[echo basalt]

is just a setup error

ffs

[vagrant stratus]

first released the AV on Feb 25, 2019

now I'm at 26.7K downloads, 194 updates, and 919 commits

and like $10 in donations lmao

[echo basalt]

I got like 50$ to my name otherwise I'd donate

fucking hell it works

[quiet ice]

Well apparently Col-E (the person behind Recaf) wants to write a better AV - or at least one that is based on code behaviour

[vagrant stratus]

meh

[echo basalt]

and I can't break blocks

[vagrant stratus]

although based on code behavior how exactly? like.. running the code and see what it does?

[echo basalt]

actually that was a side effect of my minigame lib

[quiet ice]

Yeah, it runs the code in a virtual machine (SSVM) or something like that.

[vagrant stratus]

cause like... I'm pretty sure I have that on my list of things to get around too

That's on my TODO list lmao

It'll actually be feasible on my remote scanner lmao

[timid hedge]

When i am adding the compass to the player the compass dosent have a name does anyone know why?

                        ItemStack 1 = new ItemStack(Material.COMPASS, 1);
                        1.getItemMeta().setDisplayName("COMPASS");
                        inv.setItem(0, 1);

[echo basalt]

I wonder if I should impl a whole block system or just let each platform do its own event handling

[quiet ice]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4280vz_w5k

[vagrant stratus]

I've got a bunch of different things planned in terms of detection methods

[vagrant stratus]

oh yea. I'm not too worried about that actually

[kindred sentinel]

Is it normal that using interfaces and abstract classes is a bit difficult for me?

[tender shard]

does anyone know why my HTML is fucked up after saving it with jsoup? D:

I didnt even do any changes - I loaded the file and instantly saved it again

[vagrant stratus]

if anything, I can just rework my AV to use that stuff lmao

[quiet ice]

Yeah pretty much given that it is intended as a library

[vagrant stratus]

the likelyhood of it being any real competition is low (atm) though.

I can just pull certain functionality from it and be ahead in that regard

[timid hedge]

.

[vagrant stratus]

really, as long as I stay on top of spigot detections & like.. push updates, I'm fine

also ya know, look at the AV scene in general kek

Kinda annoying that there's like 20 different things within the MC scene though. Really should be focusing on a single project

[echo basalt]

Gotta love concurrency issues

[quiet ice]

I'm glad they are all converging on a single decompiler though

[vagrant stratus]

oh? Which one?

[quiet ice]

Vineflower, which used to be under the QuiltMC umbrella

[vagrant stratus]

although in my defense, I'm too late to the game to really work on a single AV lmao

[terse pumice]

?nms

[undone axle]

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

[remote swallow]

you dont set the meta back

[vagrant stratus]

link?

[quiet ice]

https://github.com/Vineflower/vineflower

[timid hedge]

What do you mean? arent i setting the meta?

[remote swallow]

1.getItemMeta().setDisplayName("COMPASS");

getItemMeta returns a copy

[vagrant stratus]

I'll have to test it. I have like 5 other ones lol

gimme a bit

[remote swallow]

you either need an item builder or have to do ```java

ItemMeta meta = 1.getItemMeta();
meta.setDispalyName("COMPASS");
stack.setItemMeta(meta);

[vagrant stratus]

no gui?

boo

okay nvm, you'll have to wait

[quiet ice]

It used by Paper for https://github.com/PaperMC/mache

[vagrant stratus]

basically useless for my purposes lmao

[remote swallow]

is that like mcdeob but designed for paper

[quiet ice]

Probably as they are definetly working towards a hard-fork

[vagrant stratus]

gonna hard-fork them ong frfr

[remote swallow]

is vineflower just quilt flower, bc the ide plugin links to quilt

[upper hazel]

who knows a good api for npc

[remote swallow]

citizens 2

[upper hazel]

thenks

[vagrant stratus]

These are my current decompilers

I don't really use the cfr jar, I'll probably remove it

[echo basalt]

I use jd-gui a lot

[remote swallow]

i use recaf and bytecode viewer

[upper hazel]

omg this names my eyes

[vagrant stratus]

I use whatever works with the jar I have lmao

[smoky oak]

are they even useful?

i opened paper the other day to copy some code but all i got was a list of patches

[quiet ice]

Recaf 3X uses Quiltflower which is an old Vineflower release

[vagrant stratus]

I have 5 specifically because not every jar works with every decompiler kek

[quiet ice]

https://github.com/Col-E/recaf-3x-issues/releases

[echo basalt]

anyways my code worky

:)

[upper hazel]

and by the way, what needs to be studied so that I can create a connection between the plugin and another server (for protection)

[vagrant stratus]

oh yea. I've been meaning to update recaf lmao

[remote swallow]

does vineflower actually have a gui

[quiet ice]

No and I doubt they will

Given that in theory Recaf should support it

Problem is Recaf is stuck in refractor hell

[vagrant stratus]

lol

[quiet ice]

As they are now working towards supporting Multi-release jars and Android

[vagrant stratus]

I'll probably update all my tools later today

[smoky oak]

that reminds me @worldly ingot do u know if there's a non-virus-filled way to convert .mp3 to midi 😅

[vagrant stratus]

?

[smoky oak]

I've opened NBS but it's only taking 'new song' and 'midi'

[worldly ingot]

idk. Some online coverter or something

Cloud convert I think is usually fine

[smoky oak]

welllll thats the issue

ah ill check that out

[quiet ice]

Midi probably won't allow executable code to be run

[smoky oak]

cuz if i google it its bit.ly and disable-ur-antivirus everywhere

[quiet ice]

So as long as you don't run any executables it should be fine I think?

[smoky oak]

i mean the websites, theyre all kinds of terrible

oh F

[smoky oak]

it aint got MIDI output

lol

[vagrant stratus]

honestly only problem I run into @quiet ice is obfuscaiton lmao

that's a skill issue though

I just need to get better at making custom deobfuscators via java-deobfuscator

[quiet ice]

I have only written metadata regeneration tools in the past. It's strange how there is a big market for decompilers but no market for metadata regeneration tools

Well the legacy minecraft and OSRS communities seem to be vaguely interested in my tooling but that is just about it heh

[remote swallow]

recaf 3 looks great

[quiet ice]

Excuse me if I am a big dum-dum but how do I get a VarHandle?

[remote swallow]

it can also open multiple jars at once

[quiet ice]

Ah via VarHandleDesc#resolveConstantDesc apparently

[vagrant stratus]

metadata regeneration?

[quiet ice]

Detecting and fixing switchmaps or other inner/anonymous classes as well as regenerating generic signatures.
The small things in life

[vagrant stratus]

Ah. I don't think I've ran into the need for that myself actually

Any thing I do need is more or less possible with either the decompilers in the image above, or my own tooling https://github.com/OpticFusion1/Kitsune/

[quiet ice]

I've only needed it because I'm linking into a jar that has none of this metadata

[terse pumice]

What do people do in regards to custom player heads, I know PlayerProfile is available now but am looking for a non-nms option for before 1.18 versions preferably

[vagrant stratus]

Still need to work on this though lol

Gotta throw in tokenization, to support other langs besides java kek

[merry goblet]

is there a new playeritempickup event for 1.20.1?

[subtle folio]

eawww

[vagrant stratus]

?

[subtle folio]

be gigachad and only support java

[vagrant stratus]

Nah

It already has VBS & Batch support, but severely limited due to the way I went about it originally kekw

probably hard fork java-deobfuscator and a decompiler or two

Going back to this though. I do need some way to verify if an account is actually used for malicious purposes, or is just there to get someone else in trouble

probably gonna have to setup a honeypot server or some shit

[tender shard]

yaay my javadoc fixer is working

before

after

oh it's not working

[worldly ingot]

Are you sure? Because the List<String> return suddenly disappeared lol

Now you get a String>

:D

[tender shard]

yeah I already found it, I just got a \s too many in the regex

I'll fix that tomorrow lol

[quiet ice]

The better fix would be to transform the jetbrains-annotations dependency

But whatever

[opal juniper]

yeah i think that is what paper would like as well

[kind hatch]

What approach did you take?

[quiet ice]

Alex transformed the javadoc HTML via jsoup

Which imo isn't the right way to fix the issue as you are only fixing a symptom and not the root issue

[eternal night]

the better solution is to fix javadoc

jsoup is not going to work

javadoc generates some really scuffed html, specifically regarding intendation, which gets lost when parsed via jsoup

[kind hatch]

You should see the questionable CSS

[opal juniper]

i swear the issue was fixed on a newer or maybe didn’t exist on an older version that spigot uses

[eternal night]

spigot downgraded jetbrains lib to pre type_use

[kind hatch]

Downgrade? For what reason?

[opal juniper]

that’s the ticket

to remove the duped annotations

the type_use, as lynx mentioned, is what causes the issue iirc

[eternal night]

yes, both the type and the parameter get an annotation omitted by javac

javadoc does not care

and displays both

[austere cove]

omg I've ran into the same issue

how'd you fix it

[eternal night]

alex smacked regex on it

which, bandaid fix af

[opal juniper]

you don’t

[eternal night]

but ™️

[austere cove]

ugh

it's been an issue for months as well

[slender elbow]

it's been an issue for years in reality

[tender shard]

it's working fine though

[eternal night]

interesting

[kindred sentinel]

What should i use, interfaces or abstract classes?

[river oracle]

depends

I guess the real answer would be both!

[tender shard]

the only issue I still have is the return type of e.g. List<@NotNull String> - but I'll fix that tomorrow. besides than that, it works totally fine

[kindred sentinel]

hmm like in simple chat plugin for differents chats? local, global etc.

what would be better to use?

[river oracle]

an enum probably

public enum ChatType {
  LOCAL,
  GLOBAL;
}

[quiet ice]

Well it isn't broken behaviour for javadoc since in reality the annotation really is applied twice.

[eternal night]

yes

[quiet ice]

Generally you use annotations-java5

[eternal night]

its just useless

[slender elbow]

to "fix" it you just wouldn't use type_use annotations altogether

[kindred sentinel]

I mean... Like classes for different chats like with radius, chat color, etc...

[slender elbow]

but, like, y'know

[eternal night]

so, quick option to dedupe in the tree visitor

ggwp

[quiet ice]

One could say it is a problem with javac but even there it is working as intended

[eternal night]

I mean, or only type_use

😏

[slender elbow]

well it isn't an issue with javac because the spec explicitly says it gets applied to both

[quiet ice]

So the only thing that is not working as intended is jetbrains-annotations

[river oracle]

that seems like an unecessary wrapper, you could just use a config option for that and read it. if you have different options for each player rather than a Chat class you'd be looking at a ChatOptions class to apply once the player messages. Than Apply the options to the message

[slender elbow]

it is not specific to jb annotations

it's all type_use

[eternal night]

I mean, it is all type_use with other targets

when in reality they shouldn't

[quiet ice]

• Method use + Field use + Param use + whatever

[eternal night]

either you annotate the param or the type of the parm

[slender elbow]

yes, not specific to jb annotations

[quiet ice]

Yes because apparently noone knows how to work with annotations

Same thing with shading module-info.class

[kindred sentinel]

hmmm ok thx

[eternal night]

PR @Target({ElementType.LOCAL_VARIABLE, ElementType.TYPE_USE}) instead of @Target({ElementType.METHOD, ElementType.FIELD, ElementType.PARAMETER, ElementType.LOCAL_VARIABLE, ElementType.TYPE_USE}) and fix it

dew it

[slender elbow]

no u

busy busy

[eternal night]

time for another paper artefact generated via some jmp script ?

[slender elbow]

[eternal night]

I wonder how much that would break xD

[quiet ice]

Even LV should be improper

[quiet ice]

Absolutely nothing

[eternal night]

I am sure someone does something very stupid

very stupid

[quiet ice]

Except perhaps IJ but at that point it is their own fault

[worldly ingot]

https://xkcd.com/1172/

There are probably children out there holding down spacebar to stay warm in the winter! YOUR UPDATE MURDERS CHILDREN.

[quiet ice]

Is there any way to prevent the execution of a maven execution when using certain java versions?

[river oracle]

maven enforcer plugin?

[bleak nacelle]

there are hacked clients that shows other player potions. is it possible to hide it?

[opal juniper]

i think you can hide some of that stuff with paper, wrong channel tho you need #help-server

[bleak nacelle]

can you explain more? I think server sends it to every client so its impossible

[opal juniper]

when you say potions you mean the current effects

[bleak nacelle]

yes

It shows like guy has strength II and 2 minute left(not sure if it shows minute left)

[opal juniper]

hmmm, there might be a plugin otherwise ask paper in the paper discord. this channel is the wrong place to ask

[sterile token]

Alternative for cancelling events thru a for loop?

[twin venture]

hi , still getting errors when more than 4 player's join

each player will join will load 8 data from 8 diffrent tables at once

can i use some sort of Queue to load the data?

[eternal night]

are you not returning your connections ?

idk what your database is up to, but 8 SELECT calls should not exhaust your 30s timeout

[twin venture]

iam using CompletableFeautre too

on all my sql code

[sterile token]

SQL 🤨 😬 🔫 😵

[eternal night]

Yea, not running them on the main thread is a good idea.

Again, are you properly returning the connections

[twin venture]

how would i know if iam doing it correctly?

[eternal night]

are you closing the connection you take from the pool

[twin venture]

there are tons of way's to do it

[sterile token]

Always when working with connections, any type Database or Http, always thru async

[twin venture]

iam using auto close

[eternal night]

on the connection

or the prepared statements

[twin venture]

there are more code down ..

[eternal night]

not inside right ?

like, you are reusing the one connection

otherwise you are gonna be holding the outer connections hostage

[eternal night]

okay, yea das fine

[eternal night]

where exactly are the 8 different tables you talked about prior ?

different things ?

[twin venture]

i have this which implement in 8 diffrent profiles

all have its own tables to load data from

[eternal night]

ah

[twin venture]

yes

[eternal night]

yea, hmm should be fine then

[twin venture]

but its not ..

[eternal night]

yea, I mean, grab yourself a debugger and step through it

[twin venture]

do you have free one xD?

[eternal night]

intellij ?

[twin venture]

oh that ok

[eternal night]

also, obviouls check the other 7 implementations

to use try-resource with the connections

[twin venture]

checked all of them all use try-resource

[tall dragon]

my spaghetti works! 😂

too bad that test my plugin used like 60% of a tick

its optimize time :()

[hasty prawn]

60% wtf lol

[sterile token]

what can cause drag event not cancell?

could because by a for loop?

[lilac dagger]

that's so cool

[sterile token]

Could a for loop make event cancellation not work?

[twin venture]

hi , any ideas xD?

[lilac dagger]

no?

if you set cancel in a for loop make sure to break;

if you want it to stop there

[fervent robin]

I have an odd problem. I have this code in the on move event and for some reason when I teleport the armor stand, it doesnt move. The location its supposed to be teleporting is correct though I have tested that but for some reason it wont teleport. (ArmorStand was created through protocollib not through traditional way)

Location loc = event.getTo().clone();
loc.setY(loc.getY()+2.2);
vantageStaff.getModManager().getSession(event.getPlayer()).getArmorStand().teleport(loc);

[lilac dagger]

you might have to resend packets

or whatever name protocollib has

[fervent robin]

Resend creation packets every time a player moves lmao?

[lilac dagger]

no

the move one

[fervent robin]

Thats not done through packets

Its still a valid entity but I had to create it through protocollib because I needed to hide the entity from certain players

plus teleporting has worked from my testing but just not now

[lilac dagger]

why not create a real one and just prevent showing to the other players?

[fervent robin]

Wym? You cant do that

[lilac dagger]

you can 😄

[fervent robin]

theres no #hideEntity method

[tribal quarry]

send destroy packet to some players

[fervent robin]

thats what im doing

im just doing it through protocollib

[lilac dagger]

or just cancel packets from being received by the hidden players

[fervent robin]

i dont think thats the problem the method of sending destroy packet is used often and ive used it plugins before

[twin venture]

anyone expert with sql , threads ?

[fervent robin]

im going to test if the server is for some reason not sending the move packets

[tribal quarry]

Im not an expert, but you can ask

[twin venture]

.

[tribal quarry]

I just worked a bit with jdbc and queries

[twin venture]

read my message and you will understand .

[remote swallow]

Show code and error on padtes

Pastes

[lilac dagger]

i hope you're not using paper

[tribal quarry]

CAn you send your hikari data source config?

[fervent robin]

Alright so I tested if for some reason a client issue. Its not when I run this its supposed to teleport to the players new location but it doesnt and the same spot the armor stand spawned is the only spot getting set to bedrock

@EventHandler
    public void onMove(PlayerMoveEvent event) {
        if(vantageStaff.getModManager().isInModMode(event.getPlayer())) {
            Location loc = event.getTo().clone();
            loc.setY(loc.getY()+2.2);
            vantageStaff.getModManager().getSession(event.getPlayer()).getArmorStand().teleport(loc);
            vantageStaff.getModManager().getSession(event.getPlayer()).getArmorStand().getLocation().getBlock().setType(Material.BEDROCK);
        }
    }```

[tribal quarry]

are you using hikari? @twin venture

[twin venture]

yes iam

[fervent robin]

im not using paper but i want this to support paper

[fervent robin]

why

[lilac dagger]

paper has an option to prevent armorstands from ticking

[opal juniper]

indeed, as it is normally a waste of cpu

[fervent robin]

i see

[remote swallow]

Good lord that hurts

[lilac dagger]

except when you're making cool armorstand stuff that do need ticking

[fervent robin]

What about this though? This should say something if the teleport is not working server and client side

[opal juniper]

hence the config

[remote swallow]

Check my github for epic spigot lib and look at my conn pool in core/src.main.java.me.epic.spigotlib.storage

[fervent robin]

The teleport normally works but when I added some bungee support using plugin message channels that will enable put the player in the "ModMode" when they join the bungee server it stopped working.

[lilac dagger]

yeah but people also share optimized configs so it's a problem that surfaces sometimes

[twin venture]

did you understand my problem sir? the problem is , i have 8 loading methods and each load a diffrent profile and each profile have its own table to load data from / save .

[tribal quarry]

I use this and it never gone wrong (unless the database hosting is broken or firewall preventing connections), i wonder why pool size is 100? its just too much, but here you go, try this:

        HikariConfig hikariConfig = new HikariConfig();

        hikariConfig.setPoolName("BedWarsPool");
        hikariConfig.setMaximumPoolSize(10);
        hikariConfig.setMaxLifetime(1800000);
        hikariConfig.setJdbcUrl("jdbc:mysql://" + host + ":" + port + "/" + database);
        hikariConfig.setDriverClassName(driverClass);
        hikariConfig.setUsername(username);
        hikariConfig.setPassword(password);
        hikariConfig.addDataSourceProperty("characterEncoding", "utf8");
        hikariConfig.addDataSourceProperty("encoding", "UTF-8");
        hikariConfig.addDataSourceProperty("useSSL", "false");
        hikariConfig.addDataSourceProperty("useUnicode", "true");
        hikariConfig.addDataSourceProperty("rewriteBatchedStatements", "true");
        hikariConfig.addDataSourceProperty("jdbcCompliantTruncation", "false");
        hikariConfig.addDataSourceProperty("cachePrepStmts", "true");
        hikariConfig.addDataSourceProperty("prepStmtCacheSize", "300");
        hikariConfig.addDataSourceProperty("prepStmtCacheSqlLimit", "2048");
        hikariConfig.addDataSourceProperty("socketTimeout", "30000");

        dataSource = new HikariDataSource(hikariConfig);

[remote swallow]

Yep and first you fix ur connection pool

[twin venture]

you mean the connect method i have?

[remote swallow]

Use the code kalix just sent to setup Hikari

[twin venture]

alr

done gonna check your github now

can you send the link?

[remote swallow]

Its the same thing pretty much

Just mines outdated bc i forgot to commit

[young knoll]

Seems on brand for you

[twin venture]

still have the same issuse .

after a new player join , if we are 3 or 4 on the server and new player join , or already exist in the sql database ,
..

[tribal quarry]

Is MySQL installed locally?

[twin venture]

on the dedicated yes

[tribal quarry]

Something is seriously wrong here

[jagged quail]

hj

[twin venture]

ik , i wana fix that...

should i change the maximum sql connection on the dedicated itself?

like make it 6000 or smth?

[tribal quarry]

first check how many connections are established on mysql:
show status where variable_name = 'threads_connected';

this shouldn't be the solution

either it might be a firewall miss-configuration or something else

but just too weird

[twin venture]

alright what else i can do?

[tribal quarry]

uhh

[twin venture]

i dont mean i fixed it .. i just got what variable_name mean its pretty late for me , and i was awake from 7am .. till now and its 2AM next day :p

[tribal quarry]

So what was the number?

variable_name is the column within the show status result

[twin venture]

i can't enter the putty cuz of .. the owner don't remmber the pass for it so i am waiting for him , might take a while

[tribal quarry]

ok whatever

[twin venture]

gonna send you fr , i will message you once i can run it .

[fervent robin]

Anyone have an idea abt this?

[weak meteor]

I wanna make a Login plugin, with mojang api so premium players can bypass login, my question is, i know i need to make a Bungeecord and a Spigot plugin, but how do i indicate, from bungee to the spigot that x player is premium?

or how should i do exactly

[fervent robin]

plugin messages

Specifically this channel: https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/bukkit-bungee-plugin-messaging-channel/#forward

[sly trout]

hey guys, I'm looking to make an addon for my plugin I made before, but I can't seem to find some good tutorials to add the dependency

so like I'm trying to compile but it says that the .jar is not found

like for example I'm using a class from the main plugin in the addon plugin, when I compile, it says that those are not recongnized

because the ,jar is not added properly i'm guessing

[lost matrix]

Are you using maven?

[sly trout]

yes

[lost matrix]

Is your other project also a maven project?

[sly trout]

I don't remember, made it a while ago

few years ago

[lost matrix]

Usually you would call mvn install so you can use your applications as a dependency for other maven
project.

When using maven you should never manually add jars to your project.

Not the spigot jar and not other jars.

[sly trout]

well the thing is that I only have the .jar compiled file from my other project

not the actual project

and I'm looking to, when I add both plugins to the server, it works

ykwim

[subtle folio]

you don’t have access to the other project ?

[sly trout]

no I erased my pc data and could only find the .jar file of the project on onedrive

[lost matrix]

What you want to do is manually install this jar into your local maven repository

mvn install:install-file \
   -Dfile=<path-to-file> \
   -DgroupId=<group-id> \
   -DartifactId=<artifact-id> \
   -Dversion=<version> \
   -Dpackaging=jar \
   -DgeneratePom=true

For DgroupId, DartifactId and Dversion you can just invent anything you want.
Just make sure to use those values in your pom later:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.sample</groupId>
    <artifactId>sample</artifactId>
    <version>1.0</version>
</dependency>

[lost matrix]

use github for future projects

[sly trout]

yes I will thank you very much 😄

so the command is in console ?

and thats all I have to do and I'll just be able to add the dependency ?

[lost matrix]

Yes this will install a jar of your choice into your local maven repository.
From there it can be accessed by any maven project via the pom.

[sly trout]

okay and the group id and artifact are the ones that I put in the command ?

and also It will just work when I put both projects in the plugins folder ?

[lost matrix]

This has nothing to do with spigot or minecraft... I dont know which plugin folder you mean.

[sly trout]

?

like the plugins folder for a minecraft server ?

[lost matrix]

I mean. If they are both spigot plugins and you compiled them correctly, then they should work...

[sly trout]

yes but I mean with the dependency will it need to be on my pc to find the file or will it figure out that it is in the plugins folder with the other one

and in what command prompt do I use this command ? : ```mvn install:install-file
-Dfile=<path-to-file>
-DgroupId=<group-id>
-DartifactId=<artifact-id>
-Dversion=<version>
-Dpackaging=jar
-DgeneratePom=true

[lost matrix]

You need to strictly separate your idea of the development and game environment.
The spigot server knows nothing and also searches for nothing.
If you want a plugin to run on your server then you need to put it in the plugins folder.

[lost matrix]

In any terminal on your pc

[sly trout]

when i paste it it just executes by it self

[lost matrix]

maven is general purpose and has nothing to do with spigot or minecraft

Ah, windows.

[sly trout]

that's not what I meant

I mean will the addon be able to run if it's not on my pc is basically what I'm saying

[lost matrix]

mvn install:install-file -Dfile="./some.jar" -DgroupId="com.example" -DartifactId="Example" -Dversion="1.0.0" -Dpackaging=jar -DgeneratePom=true

[lost matrix]

Which addon?

[sly trout]

the one I'm making of my main plugin

that's why i need the dependency so I can use my classes from my main project in my addon

[lost matrix]

Again: If you want a plugin to load on any server, then you need to put the jar in the plugins folder

Spigot doesnt look for plugins itself

[sly trout]

I know, I will

but

will the addon work if I put them both in the plugins folder on another pc

also mvn : The term 'mvn' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

[lost matrix]

[subtle folio]

try maven

[lost matrix]

Did you install maven on your system properly?

[subtle folio]

but i so believer you have to have maven set in your system env

[lost matrix]

I dont see a reason why a plugin would run on your pc but not on anyone elses...

[sly trout]

because it installs it in the maven repo on my pc

dude idk i was just wondering

[lost matrix]

Ok.
Maven is a dependency manager for java projects.
It has nothing to do with spigot, minecraft or any other game or application.
Its a pure development tool which lets you manage dependencies when compiling code.
Almost nobody will have maven repositories unless they actively develop java applications.
Spigot will not search anywhere for plugins.
It has only what is in your plugin folder nothing else.

[sly trout]

I know that is not what I was asking

its okay

[lost matrix]

Do you mean if you can use your local maven repository, which has your jar manually installed,
for projects on other PCs?

Then the answer is no, its local. So it woll only ba available for this PC

[sly trout]

no I don't really know how to formulate it

So it said build succesful

but i go in intellij and the dependency still doesnt recognize the id

HOLD ON

WAIT A MINUTE

it might have worked

[lost matrix]

Dont forget to add

<scope>provided</scope>

to your dependency. Otherwise you shade it

[wet breach]

and this is the moment the great frenzy had a sparkle of a brain cell that emerged to be more intelligent then the others and might just have gotten it to work

it could be the IDE that is not working properly

[sly trout]

😳

[sly trout]

yes I just restarted it

[sly trout]

so if I don't add that It just means that both plugins are combined in one ?

[lost matrix]

Yes. But you dont want that for spigot plugins because one wont work.

You only do that for non-spigot dependencies like MongoDB or Redis etc

[sly trout]

and if i add a random other dependency to my plugin I can shade it ?

[lost matrix]

If its not a plugin, yes

[sly trout]

okay thank you

I'll try starting the server with the plugin

[wet breach]

if the plugin is setup properly you can shade a plugin into another plugin. Just typically plugins are setup to work off their main class which can't be instatiated when you shade it in. But if the plugin sets up a secondary class that can be instatiated by another plugin, it could still work

[sly trout]

not shaded

[lost matrix]

Think about it this way:
You need the classes when the server starts.
If you have another plugin already installed, then the classes of that plugin are there.
But if you dont shade for example MongoDB then the classes of this dependency are not there, so you need to bring it with your plugin.

[sly trout]

yes I understand

rn tho it gives me an error and the plugin doesnt work hold on

[wet breach]

Relocating dependencies when shading is why it is recommended to do to avoid potential conflicts if another plugin also has the same dependency

however more difficult to handle when its drivers like MySQL and MariaDB though

[zinc iris]

I was gonna make a organized system for subcommands by interating through a certain folder with all the files and code for the subcommands how i do it for discord bots but im guessing that isnt possible as you can only interate through files / folders in the datafile on the server and not the java files as its compacted into a jar?

[lost matrix]

In theory you can traverse files inside a jar.
But why?

[zinc iris]

just is more organized for creating tons of subcommands, cause then i can just create a new java file and wouldnt have to hard code every subcommand i add

isnt needed but 🤷‍♂️

[lost matrix]

I dont understand how you would use data driven commands?
They need to be hardcoded...

[zinc iris]

lemme show how im doing it

cant attach imgs rip

basically i have a folder called commands, inside that folder i have a baseCommand and an interface for subcommands and a folder called subcommands which has all the subcommands and their codes in them
the base command will loop through all the files in subcommands and load them into a map where then i can use for when the base command is called and call the code from there

idk if you have ever made a discord bot but its exactly how discord bots manage their command system

or atleast mine and most do

[lost matrix]

Ive written a few discord bots in different languages and have no idea what you mean

[quaint mantle]

ClassGraph and reflections

[lost matrix]

Aah i see what he means now

I wouldnt use CDI in spigot

[zinc iris]

that would allow me to go through the folders and files in the jar?

[zinc iris]

ig but just wanted to see if it was even possible too xd

[quaint mantle]

Yes. And do not forget to set your package to whitelist.

[lost matrix]

Its possible for any java application

[zinc iris]

kk

[zinc iris]

ah kk, didnt know how it worked with jars or if it was just the same as running it reg

[wet breach]

all a jar is, is an over glorified zip file

jar uses everything from the zip standard except for compression if I recall.

[tender shard]

I think my annotation fixer is fixed now

[slender elbow]

rip @NotNull List

oh it's above the cntract one

[tender shard]

yeah isn't that where it belongs?

it's where it'd also appear if one'd use annotations-java5 instead of annotations

[kind hatch]

What happened to removing the icons?

[tender shard]

I haven't taken a look at that yet

but actually they belong there, as it's external links

if anyone is bored, feel free to find any bugs in the fixed javadocs of a popular spigot fork lol https://hub.jeff-media.com/javadocs/paper-api-fixed

I mean the original ones are really annoying to look at

[slender elbow]

hm, i wonder why this specific eyesore happens https://imgur.com/a/XdAxyoD

javadoc is one weird tool

[tender shard]

i guess it's because that annotation is not applicable to primitives?

[slender elbow]

i can only assume it's something to do with the primitive array

[tender shard]

shouldn't it be byte @NotNull [] instead of @NotNull byte [] ?

[slender elbow]

yeah

i wonder what javadoc creates for that lol

[slender elbow]

well, it "is", but it's not like it really means anything

it's not illegal to have void blah(@Nullable int hehe)

[slender elbow]

hmmm

[tender shard]

so yeha my fix-javadoc-plugin won't deduplicate the wrong annotation but I guess that's not my problem

[slender elbow]

"good enough"

also you can @Deprecated parameters? lol?

[tender shard]

lol

hm I feel like my plugin should add newlines between annotation and parameter name

spigotmc

paper bad

paper fixed

[lethal garnet]

Hey guys, does anyone have a download link for the LibsDiscipline plugin

[tender shard]

does this look better or worse than annotations on the same line?

I mean it's at least consistent now

I'll probably just make the task configurable

[tender shard]

I don't find anything about that when googling it

[lethal garnet]

ok thx

[valid burrow]

how comlicated is it to send webhooks in a plugin

[ivory sleet]

Depends entirely on your skill level

[wet breach]

so complicated that it is easy

[valid burrow]

On a skill level from banana to pineapple id say its green

how do i do it

[ivory sleet]

Lol what now?

[valid burrow]

Idk how to rate my skill level ive been coding in java for 1,5 years now

[ivory sleet]

Years dont matter

[valid burrow]

well what else do you want me to say x)

[ivory sleet]

But lets say you have the experience of a “1 yearer”

Then it ought to be reasonably straightforward how to do it

[valid burrow]

okay

[quiet ice]

It is easy enough that most if not all available malware does it

[sly trout]

I added a .jar file to the maven repo on my pc

with a prompt command

but when i send my friend the plugin that uses the .jar file as dependency it doesnt work

it doesnt detect the dependency even tho its in the plugin folder with the plugin

[vagrant stratus]

Few spigot malware do this actually lol

[cobalt thorn]

How can i edit the mob inside the spawner to be a custom one (like a zombie with an armor)

[viral temple]

Does Chunk.getPersistentDataContainer() actually load the chunk or just the persistent data?

[cobalt thorn]

probably not load it and then get it

[viral temple]

I want it not to load.

[cobalt thorn]

load it and then unload it

[quiet ice]

Well at least most Skyblock malware has a discord webhook.
So I have been told

[quiet ice]

That is why I prefer to use file:// repositories

[vagrant stratus]

Skyblock malware?

[quiet ice]

Well all those fake Skyblock "utility" mods

[vagrant stratus]

Ah, I haven't touched mods much

[cobalt thorn]

its possible to put / merge nbt data from an entity to a mobspawner?

[vagrant stratus]

I do want to figure out basic stuff in forge & fabric though

[quiet ice]

A good portion of recaf's help requests are caused by people that want to modify a webhook URL

[vagrant stratus]

I doubt anyone in the respective communities would make me example malware I can base my work off of though lolol

[quiet ice]

It's probably around twice as large as those who want to remove license checks in bukkit plugins

[vagrant stratus]

lmao

[quiet ice]

Perhaps MMPA (Minecraft malware prevention alliance) and Recaf (although those hoarded by the recaf people are more likely to crash ASM or java's ZipFile API) could fork over some samples.

[vagrant stratus]

Eh. I doubt MMPA would, given they're doing their own thing

[quiet ice]

Probably

Perhaps I should write my own malware. It seems a lucrative market

[vagrant stratus]

and really, I don't need anything super complex just starting out.
just working examples for

Player#setOp(true)

Player#getUUID#equals()
Player#getName#equals()

etc

The issue w/ both is the mods get obfuscated 😐

[quiet ice]

With fabric we are in luck I believe as they use intermediary

[vagrant stratus]

I'd have to check one of their jars, but I know forge is obf'd

[quiet ice]

At least I know multi-version jars are possible out-of-the-box

[vagrant stratus]

I'd still need jars for each version though, I'd need the bytecode

Yea, both forge & fabric jars are obfuscated

[quiet ice]

Huh

[dry hazel]

that's intermediary

[vagrant stratus]

Which means I'd need fabric & forge devs to make some basic sample malware, for each supported MC version

[vagrant stratus]

[wild mica]

Is there a snippet code to throw an axe with an armor stand?

[valid burrow]

probally somewhere x) but its probally easier to search for it urself

[wild mica]

I've been searching on Google for 1 day.

[valid burrow]

then just so it urself ig

[wild mica]

You are very clever. Thanks for help ❤️

[valid burrow]

make a invisable armorstand holding an axe and move it

should be pretty simple

[wild mica]

Actually getting stuck in the block is pretty hard

[valid burrow]

just check if the block the armorstand is touching is not air

at the height of the hand if thats not self explanatory

and if you want to be really precise and different parameeters for fence/trapdoors etx

[wild mica]

That would be a lag machine. I tried with RayTrace but still nothing.

[valid burrow]

why would it

no

just every time you teleport the armorstand check a single block

[wild mica]

I'm not teleporting the armor stand. I use velocity and gravity

[tawdry pilot]

how can i establish a pub/sub system with jedis to sync cached data

[valid burrow]

oh well in that case maybe try to calculate the path it will hit

and predicted it

then just let it stop at that block/position

[wild mica]

Yes, that's the part I wanted help with. ``` stand.setVelocity(e.getPlayer().getLocation().getDirection().normalize().multiply(2));

            RayTraceResult result = stand.getWorld().rayTraceBlocks(stand.getLocation(), stand.getLocation().getDirection(), 500);```

When I look up into the air and throw it, raytrace doesn't work.

[valid burrow]

ive never used raytrace but ill look into it rq

gibe me a sec

what does it return

for you

[wild mica]

exception when I look up into the air and throw it

[valid burrow]

because there is no block to hit ig

what do you want to happen when theres no block

just make a catch funtion for the case someone trows it there and do what ever you want to happen in that case

[wild mica]

But because of gravity, it will fall to the ground.

[valid burrow]

catch the exeption, and make a new raytrace in the direction it will land

raytrace doesnt have gravity

so it will always go in a straight line

well but

if you use gravity

ray trace wont work in the first place

cause raytrace is straight

with gravity you need a curve

[wild mica]

So is it ok to loop until it hits a block?

[valid burrow]

loop what

you could of course do some math and recreate the formular for how gravity and velocity effect the armor stand

and then loop through every block that is in that way

it would be rather complicated

but

work very well

just make sure to only calculate it roughly

otherwise it might take too long

[echo basalt]

Just set a velocity and let physics do the rest

[valid burrow]

he wants the armor stand to be stuck in the block it hits

so we need to know what block that will be

[echo basalt]

Yeah you can calculate that in runtime

[valid burrow]

thats the plan but the more complicated thing is how to calculate it

[echo basalt]

Launch the armorstand with a constant velocity and track it

[valid burrow]

but wont it hit blocks that arent in the way of the axe too like at the armorstands feet

[vast ledge]

What the hell

I do not

understand that sentence

That is not default mc texture there

also why r u using smth like 1.8

[tawdry pilot]

can jedis block the main server thread

[sullen marlin]

If you call a sync method then yes

[tawdry pilot]

wait so pub/sub?

[sullen marlin]

Well anything that returns a result will block while it gets the results

[tawdry pilot]

ok

so that means if i initialize a pub/sub in onenable itll block the thread

[sullen marlin]

Not sure but probably

[upper hazel]

Recommend a good API for a custom rank system and cases (with beautiful animation)

[vagrant stratus]

Probably doesn't exist

[upper hazel]

demm

[echo basalt]

Just pubsub on another thread

it's fine

[vagrant stratus]

Most servers use luckperms, more or less covers the rank system part.

And cases, there are dedicated plugins for those, if they are what I think they are. No API only thing though

[wild mica]

If you only use pub/sub why not use Apache Kafka?

[echo basalt]

Because redis is more popular in the field

¯_(ツ)_/¯

I make sure to support all of them

[wild mica]

😄

for who? Minecraft developer?

[echo basalt]

Ye

[upper hazel]

By the way, how can I make the color of the rank - smoothly iridescent

[tender shard]

@kind hatch how's the javadoc PR going?

@sullen marlin you're using annotations-java5 because of the javadoc issues, is that right?

I wrote a tool to fix the generated double annotations javadocs, it's currently a gradle plugin but I could also turn it into a maven-plugin - then we could also have type parameters, e.g. List<@NotNull Block> or stuff like that

[ivory sleet]

Its nice to have a cache and message broker all in one for smaller systems

[wild mica]

Absolutely I agree

[twin venture]

Hi there , is there something wrong with this?

[tender shard]

looks fine

though generally using an IntFunction is preferred ober new Array[0] if that's possible in your java version

i think several api

[lost matrix]

Get all keys of the 'a' section and iterate

[lost matrix]

Depends on what you are doing

hm

I just don't know how it will affect the future

and what is easier as a programmer?

this not full structure

[lost matrix]

For me having one project is much more manageable than having multiple smaller projects

I hope you use the sparsely as using a lot of tile entities can lag out the server

Biome information is not block-wise. Its in 4x4x4 chunk sections iirc

[upper hazel]

well, with api it will be more difficult

[upper hazel]

i use region

there, despite such a structure, the simple plugin logic

[sage dragon]

Hey!

I'm horrible at this.

This is my current code:

public void summonDeathCircle(float playerYaw, Location centerLocationLocation, int size) {
    for (int d = 0; d <= 90; d += 4) {
        Location attackLocation = new Location(centerLocationLocation.getWorld(), centerLocationLocation.getX(), centerLocationLocation.getY(), centerLocationLocation.getZ());
        attackLocation.setX(centerLocationLocation.getX() + Math.cos(d) * size);
        attackLocation.setZ(centerLocationLocation.getZ() + Math.sin(d) * size);

        Vector direction = attackLocation.subtract(centerLocationLocation).toVector();

        this.drawDeathLine(centerLocationLocation, centerLocationLocation.clone().add(direction.multiply(2)), .9);
    }
}

It draws a nice pattern, but I want this pattern to rotate depending on the player's rotation.

Currently, the pattern is always facing North/South

[lost matrix]

Ok so first:

        Location attackLocation = new Location(centerLocationLocation.getWorld(), centerLocationLocation.getX(), centerLocationLocation.getY(), centerLocationLocation.getZ());

Can be shortened to just

        Location attackLocation = centerLocationLocation.clone();

After that i would def rename centerLocationLocation to centerLocation

Next:

Vector direction = attackLocation.subtract(centerLocationLocation).toVector();

This makes no sense. attackLocation and centerLocationLocation are the exact same location.
Subtracting them from another is very weird.

Ah nvm this is after modification

[smoky anchor]

I wonder about the Math.cos(d)
These normally take in radians so passing, what seems to be a degree seems weird to me

[lost matrix]

So this draws a circle on the ground if i interpret it correctly. What is there to rotate?

[lost matrix]

That as well

He would draw like 14 rounds of a circle with 90 rads

[lost matrix]

What are you trying to do?
Draw a cone? Draw a circle on the ground? Draw a circle in the direction the player is looking?

[sage dragon]

It is supposed to draw this:
https://imgur.com/a/Tse6UfD

One of the changes I made seems to have made this into a perfect circle though 🤔

[lost matrix]

I dont understand how the players rotation changes anything in this circle

[sage dragon]

It doesn't change anything. It is always facing North/South

[lost matrix]

So is your plan to draw a perfect circle?

[sage dragon]

My plan is not to draw a perfect circle, but to keep the shape shown in the imgur post

[smoky anchor]

well in your case, get the players Yaw rotation, do Math.toDegree(yaw) and add it to the "d" every time
I think

[lost matrix]

Eh

We first need to find out what he is trying to do. Because a perfect circle has no orientation.

So you want the circle to be more densely defined in one direction?

This is how i would probably calculate a circle around a center location

  public List<Location> calculateCirclePoints(Location center, double radius, int points) {
    List<Location> circlePoints = new ArrayList<>();

    double increment = (2 * Math.PI) / points;
    for (int i = 0; i < points; i++) {
      double angle = i * increment;
      double x = center.getX() + (radius * Math.cos(angle));
      double z = center.getZ() + (radius * Math.sin(angle));
      Location point = new Location(center.getWorld(), x, center.getY(), z);
      circlePoints.add(point);
    }

    return circlePoints;
  }

[smoky anchor]

I don't think he wants a perfect circle

[lost matrix]

Ok but what does he want?

A circle thats more dense in a direction?

Or a cone in a direction?

[sage dragon]

This is my original code, without any changes:

public void summonDeathCircle(Location location, int size) {
    Location originalLocation = location.clone();
    for (int d = 0; d <= 90; d += 4) {
        Location attackLoc = new Location(location.getWorld(), location.getX(), location.getY(), location.getZ());
        attackLoc.setX(location.getX() + Math.cos(d) * size);
        attackLoc.setZ(location.getZ() + Math.sin(d) * size);

        Vector direction = attackLoc.subtract(originalLocation).toVector();

        //TODO: Check if .9 space is better than .7
        this.drawDeathLine(location, originalLocation.add(direction.multiply(2)), .9);
    }
}

It basically looks like it draws half circles around the player.

They get smaller the further away they are.

Currently, this is locked to the North/South direction

[lost matrix]

I guess you can just add the players yaw to the angle like steve suggested then

PS: You need to translate the yaw from degrees to radians!

[sage dragon]

Thanks, let's try to do that

[quaint mantle]

anyone know why mosaic-internals from build src isnt found? https://github.com/MosaicMC/MosaicAPI

[worldly ingot]

A few things

1. Why is the folder called buildSrc if its artifact is going to be called "mosaic-internals"?
2. You have two build files, one at the root (the correct one) and one under src/main/kotlin (which probably isn't what you want and is named incorrectly)

Also not entirely sure why you're declaring plugin('mosaic-internals'). It's definitely not a Gradle plugin. It's a dependency, no?

Ideally your projects are as follows:
mosaic-internals/build.gradle.kts:

plugins {
    id("org.jetbrains.kotlin.jvm") version "1.9.0"
    id("java-gradle-plugin")
}

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

group = "your.group.id"
version = "1.0.0"```
`mosaic-config/build.gradle.kts`:
```kotlin
dependencies {
    compileOnly(project(":mosaic-internals"))
}```
`mosaic-core/build.gradle.kts`:
```kotlin
dependencies {
    implementation(project(":mosaic-config"))
    implementation(project(":mosaic-internals"))
}```
Or something to that effect

And maybe setting up the kotlin and gradle plugins somewhere in the base build script or something because you'll probably need them in all your projects

[remote swallow]

buildsrc stuff is weird

i dont like it

alex used it once https://github.com/mfnalex/PAPI-Replace

its just weird

and for some reason its defined as plugins

[quaint mantle]

they told me to use buildSrc lol

[ivory sleet]

I’d avoid buildSrc partly because it fucks up incremental builds

includeBuild >>>

(:

[remote swallow]

in most cases i would avoid buildSrc tbh

just do it normally

[quaint mantle]

what is normally?

[ivory sleet]

This was a while ago, perhaps it was solved

[remote swallow]

it goes in each build,gradle

[worldly ingot]

Ew, yeah, that looks fucked. I guess buildSrc was a thing?

[quaint mantle]

the gradle docs says to use build src

[remote swallow]

ignore them

[ivory sleet]

I mean yeah

Its often preferred

[quaint mantle]

"preferred" by who bruh

[ivory sleet]

As a means to abstract away common logic for all ur modules

But like

[worldly ingot]

Yeah that looks awful

[ivory sleet]

Its not a zero cost abstraction

[remote swallow]

i hate buildSrc tbh

[ivory sleet]

Like every other abstraction

Tho as said

Include build if possible

[worldly ingot]

I would avoid it unless you have some explicit reason to use it

[ivory sleet]

Very epic stuff

Typically you only write/change buildSrc just so often so the incremental build benefits ought not to affect you by much

But yeah

i mean, i want tehn add way more shit on top of it and i will also be using include lol (and also changing the name of the artifact)

[ivory sleet]

if (Files.exists(plugin.getDataFolder().toPath().resolve("config.yml")) {
…}

or just new File(plugin.getDataFolder(),"config.yml").exists()

[kindred sentinel]

thanks!

[ivory sleet]

Why lol

[kindred sentinel]

I have yml config

a:
  b:
    c:"d"

to get access to "a" I can do like ConfigurationSection a = config.getConfigurationSection("a")
but if i'm trying to get "b" from a like this, i'm getting "null"

ConfigurationSection chatSection = plugin.getConfig().getConfigurationSection("a");
System.out.println(chatSection.getConfigurationSection("b"))

- null

[ivory sleet]

did you load it correctly?

[remote swallow]

it just seems like more effort than its worth

[ivory sleet]

depends on the size of the project

[kindred sentinel]

I'm not sure

but if i'm trying to do chatSection.get("b")
it's working

[chrome beacon]

Show the actual code and config

Without changing things

[ivory sleet]

Pastebin in the future fellow developer

?paste

[echo basalt]

saveDefaultConfig is a thing my g

[kindred sentinel]

oh

[echo basalt]

I usually just have a class that I extend and load the config values tho

[subtle folio]

best config solution into pojo?

[echo basalt]

writing your own

[subtle folio]

yeah makes sense

[ivory sleet]

hibernateyeah maybe just write ur own ORM or use configurate perhaps?

[subtle folio]

annotation daddy here i come

[lilac dagger]

i made my own annotation based config system

i never been so happy

i can subclass it

i can make per different modes

[echo basalt]

I hate annotations

[ivory sleet]

myeah its not particularly object oriented

but it may at least reduce boilerplate arguably

[lilac dagger]

it does help with type safety

unless you forget to register custom types

then it'll scream at runtime

[ivory sleet]

idk I mean regular java helps just as much with type safety

dont think annots have any benefits there

[echo basalt]

Well no

[lilac dagger]

compared to getting values from configurationsection

[echo basalt]

performance go boom

Just do it the simple way

:)

[ivory sleet]

I mean most stuff would be loaded eagerly anyway (hopefully)

[kindred sentinel]

Why i cant sort java list?
List<String> chats = chatSection.getKeys(false).stream().toList();
Collections.sort(chats, (o1, o2) -> 0);

• Caused by: java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException

[eternal oxide]

Objects from config is quite performant as they are decoded the first time the config is touched (usually at startup)

[lilac dagger]

everything is loaded early

no computation required after

unless i wanna save it

it's all tidy in record like objects

[tall dragon]

toList returns an unmodifiable list i believe

use .collect

[worldly ingot]

collect(Collectors.toList()) yeah

[remote swallow]

?learnjava for someone

[undone axle]

Here are some links to get you started on learning Java:

• https://www.codecademy.com/learn/learn-java
• https://www.sololearn.com/learning/1068
• https://www.learnjavaonline.org/
• https://programmingbydoing.com/
• https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/index.html

The last one is the only official one, however some of those concepts assume that you already know a bit about programming.

[kindred sentinel]

thx

[young knoll]

Is it you

kek

[remote swallow]

no

its to get a link for learning python

[left pine]

Hello, I have a question, how do I create and use a file that does not exist within my plugin?

[young knoll]

Easiest way is probably the old file api

[remote swallow]

ur old

[young knoll]

File file = new File(plugin.getDataFolder(), "myfile.txt");
if (!file.exists()) {
  file.createNewFile();
}```

[left pine]

ok but how do I use it in a .yml file with the spigot api that it has?

[quaint mantle]

now use dfu

[young knoll]

YamlConfiguration.loadConfiguration(file)

[left pine]

ah ok is that I needed to know because I plan to make a command that created a file and that the plugin takes care of reading it and using it if it exists.

[remote swallow]

nerds what does this mean

[young knoll]

I am going to guess __main__ is some default variable

And print_hi is a method?

[remote swallow]

print_hi is a method

but what is the __name__ is

[glad prawn]

Looks like string compare lol

[ancient plank]

__main__ is the name of the environment where top-level code is run.

man

python smells

[young knoll]

For most practical purposes, you can think of the conditional block that you open with if __name__ == "__main__" as a way to store code that should only run when your file is executed as a script.

[slender elbow]

/chatgpt what is if __name__ == '__main__' in python

and enjoy

then say something like "that is wrong, your reasoning is flawed"

[ancient plank]

or just google it and get an answer instantly

[young knoll]

Tis what I did

[slender elbow]

no no i prefer entertainment

like when you tell it that 2+2 is 8 or whatever and it will be like, ah yes i apologise

[ancient plank]

the only joy I get from chatgpt is making it write movie scripts for my friends to read

[young knoll]

I think they made it more resistant to gaslighting

[quaint mantle]

python sucks

[slender elbow]

they haven't

it only gets worse and worse with each update

[sacred mountain]

i hate java sometimes

[slender elbow]

real

[echo basalt]

that'll only run if you execute the script directly

If you run it through another script or use it as an import statement or whatever it won't run

[shadow night]

Yes

[river oracle]

or you just don't know what to use the language for :P

hands down one of the best scripting languages

[quaint mantle]

bash replacement?

[vagrant stratus]

I'm using python rn to migrate a SQLite DB to MySQL, for example

[quaint mantle]

so just script

[river oracle]

bash is just cursed as fuck idk how anyone uses that

[vagrant stratus]

You can do games and what not w/ python

[river oracle]

if my scripts are small I'll write bash otherwise doing python

[vagrant stratus]

AI is a huge thing

[river oracle]

if your braindead you do games with python

otherwise yu stick to data science, AI, and scripting

[vagrant stratus]

PyGame

run well if you're not dumb

[ancient plank]

I don't like python but I use it to do the small things that there's no point in making it using java

[ornate patio]

Hello, would you please sort out these errors? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/395339753375137820/1148278642607128687/image.png

[quaint mantle]

AI isnt games
you can write games in bash and C and assembly too, people did it, but you would be insnae to do it.

[river oracle]

just because it exists doesn't mean it is nice

[vagrant stratus]

AI, games, etc, etc are all possible in python

[river oracle]

python is also great for writing quick mockups

[quaint mantle]

you can make games in css too

[vagrant stratus]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doki_Doki_Literature_Club! uses python, for example.
Runs quite well, even though it's a VN

[quaint mantle]

it is literally just pngs

give ma an AAA game in python

[river oracle]

or a good indie game that's more than pngs

AAA games suck ass now adays

with a few exceptions nothing good has been released in a while

[worldly ingot]

not a game, but MCEdit was Python 🙂

https://github.com/mcedit/mcedit2

[quaint mantle]

who uses mcedit in 2023???

[slender elbow]

i'd be concerned if it wasn't possible

[river oracle]

thats cool

didn't know that

[fervent robin]

aaa games dont use cuz there are better alternatives

[worldly ingot]

Nobody because it died 6 years ago

[quaint mantle]

you have unity whoch uses c#
you have unreal engine using C++
just go out and fucking learn something else than python

[worldly ingot]

But it was the most popular world save editing tool for a long while

[quaint mantle]

it is not anymore so it is completely irrelevent so

[river oracle]

python is a good lang its okay if you dont like the syntax but you can't deny its uses

[young knoll]

I miss mcedit

It was so nice

[quaint mantle]

(which then are completely unmaintable)

[ancient plank]

all my homies use amulet now

[quaint mantle]

i hate gradle

[young knoll]

Is amulet anywhere close to the og mcedit

[river oracle]

then use maven

[quaint mantle]

maven is even worse

[ancient plank]

idk I haven't used amulet in a while

[river oracle]

you just love to hate things don't you :P

[vagrant stratus]

then use java's compilation commands kekw

[quaint mantle]

aint n oway im gonna use html to configure shit

[young knoll]

html?

[quaint mantle]

hell no

[ancient plank]

xml

[river oracle]

xml is awesome

[young knoll]

Now that's an idea

[quaint mantle]

xml is just html with custom tags

[young knoll]

html based java buildtool

[river oracle]

@young knoll hi chollco

[young knoll]

hi

[quaint mantle]

i dont see difference

[river oracle]

whats with the new name coll

lol

[quaint mantle]

both suck and are not made for configuration

[young knoll]

I am chocos replacement while he is away from home

[river oracle]

no I'm pretty sure xml is purely used for configuration

not sure what you're on about

[quaint mantle]

c# shit is also on xml drugs

[quaint mantle]

htmx:

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1068646305825554582.webp?size=48&name=Baller&quality=lossless

[river oracle]

I stay away from web development I don't have a death wish

[young knoll]

brainfuck based configuration

[river oracle]

that'd be awesome

[quaint mantle]

then why the hell would you use xml which looks like html on drugs

[river oracle]

it looks nice and very clear

think it looks better than json for some things

[quaint mantle]

no, xml is used to store data and also it is just a markup language, it cant do everything that an actual language can

for example xml files in .de are good but then using them to actual configuration sucks

[young knoll]

xml data storage is yikes

[river oracle]

store data with xml?

[quaint mantle]

YES?

[ancient plank]

I program in machine language

[quaint mantle]

the only good use for maven is not to use it

[river oracle]

maven is great

[quaint mantle]

basically just use project settings in intellij

[young knoll]

Go look at a rimworld save file

Pain

[quaint mantle]

and dont touch maven at all

[river oracle]

do you like anything?

[quaint mantle]

i love kotlin

[river oracle]

okay yep figured

loves kotlin yet hates gradle

[young knoll]

even though gradle is kotlin

🤔

[quaint mantle]

gradle docs are the worst thing

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1045365302516518962.webp?size=48&name=Peblo&quality=lossless

[slender elbow]

you're just bad at navigating them

[quaint mantle]

no, i actually can navigate however they cant answer questions i have nor help with gradle at all

[river oracle]

comparatively to maven I've found the gradle docs less than helpful in many cases 🤷‍♂️ just my experience though

[quaint mantle]

and are mostly outdated with stuff that are no longer relevent

so then you need to search on google about gradle

which is also painful, becuz usually your use case of gradle is very narrow, like me making multiproject in gradle

[vagrant stratus]

I only use maven kekw

[river oracle]

I switched back to maven recently

and actually spent time learning how it works

able to actually just write up a biuld file now only have to look up plugin versions

[quaint mantle]

also maven docs are even more outdated than gradle docs lmao

[slender elbow]

gradle docs are not outdated lmao

whatever you're snorting, give me some

[young knoll]

The kotlin docs used to be lacking

[zealous osprey]

?paste

[undone axle]

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

[young knoll]

But now that they use kotlin by default it's probably better

[ancient plank]

all I need in life are spigot javadocs

[slender elbow]

whatever code examples they have now there is a little toggle to show groovy or kotlin

[quaint mantle]

kotlin docs are one of the best places i have ever been imo

[young knoll]

gradle kotlin docs*

[river oracle]

no they aren't? the ones for plugins themselves are up to date on the latest plugin versions

[quaint mantle]

maven docs still reference java 1.7

and junit 4.11

and also w3.org from 2001

[river oracle]

mmm that's the quickstart guide

[fervent robin]

Does someone have an idea why this part of the plugin msg is getting included? If I print the msg everything else gets sent except the last part of it

[river oracle]

every maven project has that

[quaint mantle]

thats the problem

[river oracle]

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"
         xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
         xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">

no its not, why update it every year if nothing has changed

[quaint mantle]

i mean why use shit that wasnt touched for 22 years

[subtle folio]

because.. it works?

[slender elbow]

be aware that Server#sendPluginMessage will broadcast the message to every client connection

[subtle folio]

that’s the point of a standard..

[ancient plank]

git commit -m "updated year to 2023, nothing else changed because it still works the same way it did last year, and the year before, and the year before, and 2001"

[river oracle]

just because something is new doesn't mean its automatically better. the standard has been in place so why change it just because new good?

[slender elbow]

oh wait until you hear about TCP/IP

[quaint mantle]

it is not good, thats the problem, the old standard isnt good

[river oracle]

that's your opinion

so its just your opinion the standard isn't good

[slender elbow]

what makes you say it isn't good exactly? "it's old"?

[river oracle]

its xml is probably the only reason

[quaint mantle]

yes

[ancient plank]

move to #general or #verified so ppl can get help, someone has asked a question so it's time to move

[river oracle]

that's not even a good reason
