[smoky oak]

nope still there

its there for completeness

[quaint mantle]

Ya listen to this

[smoky oak]

if someone registers it it needs to be passed through

[young knoll]

Them issue

[quaint mantle]

what needs to be passed through

[smoky oak]

u might recall the code elgar sent me

im making an interface between event handlers and the actual events to do some specific tasks easier

[slate tinsel]

But should I check if it has the right PDC and just run cancel on the damage event?

[eternal oxide]

yes

[quaint mantle]

@smoky oak

Deprecation

Should do it

[smoky oak]

neither Deprecated nor Deprecation works

its lowercase deprecation

tf

[quaint mantle]

https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/the-suppresswarnings-annotation-in-java/

Idk then

And it's upper camel for ConstantConditions

[smoky oak]

well maybe some are on lowercase

[slate tinsel]

I had intended to make it so that the player does not take damage when it falls to the ground. Is it kind of easiest to do so that the player does not take any damage before the player has touched the ground and if the server closes etc. you just teleport the player back to the place the player started.

The context of this is in a gadget

[smoky oak]

er wtf
just cancel fall damage

[slate tinsel]

The player should be able to take fall damage but not from this gadget

[pseudo hazel]

wdym by from the gadget

and what is a gadget

[half arrow]

can anyone advise the best hologram library for 1.20?

[pseudo hazel]

I have used decentholograms

but now I am just making my own

also this is probably something for #help-server

[half arrow]

why? its for development

use case my plugin, i need to spawn holo's above items

[echo basalt]

What would the ideal packet abstraction look like

Where I can send requests and get responses

[slender elbow]

a socket

[hushed spindle]

decentholograms is fine and easy

it just adds a dependency

so if you dont want that you'll need to look into packets and spawning fake armor stands or display entities

whats the reason i cant make my own implementations of RecipeChoice? i would like to be able to use customized ingredients without having to write an independent listener for crafting

is this still illegal or just like a relic of the past

[remote swallow]

recipe choice has an item stack value iirc

[raw epoch]

Hello, i'm trying to intercept a BossBar packet with protocolLib (to insert TextComponent instead of a basic String) but the ChatComponent is empty when i try it 🤷‍♂️

If anyone can help me ! 🙏

ProtocolLibrary.getProtocolManager().addPacketListener(new PacketAdapter(
        this,
        ListenerPriority.NORMAL,
        PacketType.Play.Server.BOSS
) {
    @Override
    public void onPacketSending(PacketEvent event) {
        PacketContainer packet = event.getPacket();
        //System.out.println(packet.getChatComponents().toString());
        WrappedChatComponent baseWrap = packet.getChatComponents().read(0);
        if (baseWrap != null && !Strings.isNullOrEmpty(baseWrap.getJson())) {
            String firstPass = ChatColor.stripColor(TextComponent.toLegacyText(ComponentSerializer.parse(baseWrap.getJson())));
            baseWrap = ComponentConverter.fromBaseComponent(ComponentSerializer.parse(firstPass));
            packet.getChatComponents().write(0, baseWrap);
        }
    }
});

This is what i get in console :

[19:09:56] [Server thread/INFO]: StructureModifier[fieldType=interface net.minecraft.network.chat.IChatBaseComponent, data=[]]

[hushed spindle]

what do you mean? does that relate to it being supposedly illegal to make custom implementations of recipechoice

[remote swallow]

im just saying there isnt really a reason to make a custom impl if it can take an item stack

[hushed spindle]

why not

the only available recipechoices are of the type alone or the exact meta

i would like to use a recipechoice that only checks some custom meta

the reason is mainly that i have custom items that use the same base type but that i would like to have different recipes for

and these custom items are also like weapons so i cant use exact recipechoices, and since several weapons can have the same type i cant use material recipechoices either

[young knoll]

Pretty sure it just won't work if you make a custom one

You are welcome to try though

[quaint mantle]

are particles thread safe?

[carmine mica]

depends what you are doing with them

I don't think the methods on World are thread-safe, but the ones on Player probably are

[eternal oxide]

particles are only packets, you can safely send them async

[scenic onyx]

is correct?

[shadow night]

Have you tried testing it

[scenic onyx]

I just want to know if the writing is correct

[remote swallow]

theres an error there somewhere, not in that screenshot

[scenic onyx]

yes, i know

[scenic onyx]

@remote swallow

[shadow night]

dev.bedwars.it.bedwars.BedWars, right?

[scenic onyx]

yes

is wrong?

[pseudo hazel]

the writing is usually corrected if its wrong as otherwise it will not build the prject

unless you mean spelling mistakes

[scenic onyx]

Maybe my English is bad, I just want to know if the concept of "BedWars" class is right or wrong.

[pseudo hazel]

seems to be your main plugin class so its fine

[scenic onyx]

ok

[scenic onyx]

the main class is not "BedWars", is "Game"

is multi instance so multi module

[pseudo hazel]

okay

well even then

[molten hearth]

is it normal that the stacktrace for an error is being truncated in the console

[pseudo hazel]

its still fine for a class name

[pseudo hazel]

yes possibly

[molten hearth]

I did e.printStackTrace() and all that ended up in the console is [19:24:50 WARN]: java.lang.NullPointerException lol

[pseudo hazel]

might depend on the error

[molten hearth]

that is in fact NOT a useful stacktrace

[pseudo hazel]

oh oof

[slender elbow]

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2411487/nullpointerexception-in-java-with-no-stacktrace

[molten hearth]

ah -XX:-OmitStackTraceInFastThrow fixed it thanks

[hushed spindle]

😔

looks like imma have to custom make this recipe shit

[young knoll]

PrepareItemCraftEvent time

[pliant topaz]

Hey, so I was wondering how'd I go about only having one word of a message have a ClickEvent, but instead of the text with the ClickEvent, it sends the entire data of the TextComponent as a string. Anyone knows how I could achieve what I'm trying to do?
Here's my code:

                    invClickMsg.setColor(ChatColor.YELLOW.asBungee());
                    invClickMsg.setBold(true);
                    invClickMsg.setClickEvent(new ClickEvent(ClickEvent.Action.RUN_COMMAND, "/joingame " + sender.getName()));
                    TextComponent invPlayerMsg = new TextComponent(ChatColor.GREEN + "Click " + invClickMsg + ChatColor.RESET + ChatColor.GREEN + " to join!");
                    invPlayer.spigot().sendMessage(invPlayerMsg);```

(discord kinda formats it wrong because one line is too long, so just ignore that, the formatting is done correctly in my code)

how would I go about adding the first part, as it doesn't seem like I can add normal text infront, even if it's a texcomponent I cannot put another Component at the end, as addExtra only allows for strings

[kind hatch]

Use the component builder

[echo basalt]

Well it's an awful way to write minigames but eh it works

[pliant topaz]

i didn't see the one with component bruh

it's 1.20.2

yea, just overlooked it xd

ty

[scenic onyx]

How should I write them?

[echo basalt]

https://github.com/IllusionTheDev/Minigame-Demo/wiki/The-basics-‐-Phases

@scenic onyx

[scenic onyx]

i see

[umbral ridge]

when an entity dies, these particles are spawned? can i customize/remove them?

[minor junco]

I don't think you can honestly

[scenic onyx]

my plugin is an bedwars, not an minigame

[minor junco]

you can add onto it, but remove them? Idk tbch

[echo basalt]

bedwars is a minigame

[umbral ridge]

that sucks, I wanted to customize them

different particles per entity kind of thing

[minor junco]

I mean just add onto the default particles no?

[scenic onyx]

Yes, but that is for multiple minigames in one plugin.

[echo basalt]

Not necessarily

It's just about making an engine you can reuse

[serene sigil]

Hi guys, I am trying to make a "lockdown" plugin which will basically free up as much CPU usage as possible when there are no players in the server. It should NOT stop the server, it should only lockdown it so a player can just join and make the server behave normal again. Is Unloading all chunks enough to do the job or is there still something else taking up CPU usage?

[umbral ridge]

I don't like that

[shadow night]

maybe you could cancel the entity death event (or if that's not possible, cancel the last damage event), then teleport them somewhere high in the sky and kill them there, then on their previous position add particles

[minor junco]

That's an outlandish workaround 🤣

[shadow night]

and the items, you could just teleport them there afterwards, shitty as fuck, but ig

[minor junco]

But if it works I guess

[shadow night]

yeah lol

[umbral ridge]

nice.. wait how about if I make them invisible? will their particles be invisible too? right after they die

idk how deaths work

[shadow night]

I don't think so

[minor junco]

Just have fun seeing how the dead body is interpolated to the fucking moon

[scenic onyx]

The system is nice, I will try to use it

[proud badge]

Does the BukkitScheduler.runTaskAsync queue tasks, or would I have to do that myself? (for example if there are multiple async tasks at once, it queues them up instead of them all executing at once)

[shadow night]

just tested, no

[umbral ridge]

I cant think of anything else

damn

[minor junco]

Just add onto it bro ain't a big deal 😭

[shadow night]

you could maybe do some packet stuff and instead of sending the death packet just send some kind of entity disappear packet which does not trigger particles. Or maybe the particles are send as packets and we are just doing shit rn

[umbral ridge]

because killing them results in particles being spawned

[minor junco]

You could theoretically cancel the packet event using protocollib

But you need to sort out where the particles origin from

[proud badge]

Does Thread.activeCount() work in Bukkit/Spigot? (Get the amount of threads currently in use)

[umbral ridge]

is there particle spawn event? xD

or anything

[minor junco]

Probably not

[umbral ridge]

?jd-s

[undone axle]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot

[shadow night]

you'd probably need to listen to packet events

[umbral ridge]

bruh

I don't know how to work with packets

[minor junco]

1. Just add onto it
2. Work with packets

That's your choices

Choose wisely young man

[shadow night]

and that either requires you to do some crazy nms shit or whatever or use protocollib

[serene sigil]

anyone?

[umbral ridge]

its better to leave the server as it is idle, loading and unloading chunks is heavy work for cpu

as well as io operations

[serene sigil]

yea but once the chunks have been unloaded and it stays unloaded for about 12+ hrs it is worth it, isnt it?

[orchid trout]

stopping the server works

[umbral ridge]

if you haven't had a player on the server for 12 hours, I'd even shut it off at this point and start it at specific hours

[serene sigil]

it should be without stopping

[orchid trout]

theres literally no point in that

[serene sigil]

ive also asked chatgpt and he said i should set the tickspeed to 1

is that true?

[frigid finch]

Hello,
I just set my plugin as FREE (was premium for a long time), but it seems that it is not working, it is not in the Premium category, but we cannot download it "SpigotMC - High Performance Minecraft - Error
You must purchase the resource in order to download."Does someone have an idea please ?
thanks

[orchid trout]

?support

[undone axle]

[e-mail]

[orchid trout]

how about you test it

[shadow night]

Will slow down crops

[serene sigil]

alright ig

[serene sigil]

its ok tho

cuz no one is on anyways

[orchid trout]

tickspeed is a gamerule im pretty sure

[serene sigil]

Bukkit.getWorlds().forEach(world -> {
world.setGameRuleValue("randomTickSpeed", "1");
world.setGameRuleValue("doDaylightCycle", "false");
});

?

thats what shitgpt gave me

idk why he wanted to disable daylighrcycle 😂

does anyone know what happens if you set the randomtickspeed to 0?

[umbral ridge]

try it

[weak meteor]

hello

im getting a weird error

just see the if statements

its telling me that eco.getBalance() (that in my case is 202) is less than 10

what could be happening?

[proud badge]

If there are no available worker threads in the pool when an asynchronous task is scheduled, the task is queued and will be executed once a worker thread becomes available. Bukkit will automatically manage the execution of tasks in a way that avoids overloading the server.
Is this true? -ChatGPT

[exotic obsidian]

guys i have a problem with my vps server

when i am trying to connect to the database

[lost matrix]

Which one?

[serene sigil]

wait when the playerjoinevent gets called and there was 0 players befoire the event fired, what will be the size() in Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers()?

i always forget

its so confusing

[lost matrix]

One more than before...

[serene sigil]

Ok

[serene sigil]

and what about PlayerQuitEvent tho?

[umbral ridge]

One less than before...

[serene sigil]

no thats not true?

it shows 1

[umbral ridge]

where it shows 1?

[serene sigil]

inside the event when i print out size()

[lost matrix]

You mean the tick which this event is fired in?
In this case: The player will always be in the playerlist while he is involved in an event

[serene sigil]

I knew it!!!!!!!!!

[lost matrix]

Meaning PlayerJoinEvent -> He is already included in the playerlist
PlayerQuitEvent -> He is still in the playerlist

[serene sigil]

so u have to do size()-1 to find out if there is no player on the server anymore (if u do it in the event)

[serene sigil]

PIN THIS!!!!!!

[lost matrix]

*If he is the last player about to leave. Yeah.

[serene sigil]

alright,

thanks for the info

[lost matrix]

Your balance is less than 10. 🤷

[weak meteor]

look

ITS NOT

HELP

[scenic onyx]

@weak meteor I don't understand what you're trying to do

[weak meteor]

a discord bot

but its just a check of balance

with 2 integers

eco.getBalance() < 10

[scenic onyx]

so?

the problem?

[hazy parrot]

i mean if eco.getBalance < 10 evaluates to true, its fact that eco.getBalance is less then 10

also wtf

[lost matrix]

You've posted two different pieces of code so far.
Do a clean reset, gather enough information and come back with data that can actually be used to help you.

[exotic obsidian]

ubuntu

ovh vps

[proud badge]

How would I limit my Plugin so its only able to create 1 thread at a time?

[hazy parrot]

i would also suggest using jda instead of javacord

[hazy parrot]

what is actual problem

[lost matrix]

Create a fixed thread pool with only one thread.

[scenic onyx]

use int, not Integrer

[exotic obsidian]

my plugin isn't connect to my vps database

i don't know why

[hazy parrot]

provide some error ?

[weak meteor]

okay

[hazy parrot]

doesn't matter, this whole piece of code doesn't make sense

[exotic obsidian]

no but i think the problem comes from my vps

[hazy parrot]

i mean if u don't want to provide error

i doubt anyone will be able to help you

other from guessing

[weak meteor]

This is my code: https://paste.md-5.net/qavuzuyoqe.cs

[lost matrix]

Create a manager of some sort:

  private final ExecutorService executor = Executors.newSingleThreadExecutor();

  public void execute(Runnable runnable) {
    this.executor.execute(runnable);
  }

  public <T> Future<T> submit(Callable<T> callable) {
    return this.executor.submit(callable);
  }

Just a minimal working example.

[proud badge]

ok thx

[serene sigil]

guys what are all events that get fired when a player joins a server per order

[weak meteor]

Here i get the message:

and the debug value:

[weak meteor]

The second message is my Balance divided by a 100 so it isnt cents its euros

[proud badge]

What is better for async:
Using the bukkit scheduled or the bukkitrunnable?

[weak meteor]

Bukkit Runnable is a task

[serene sigil]

?

[lost matrix]

AsyncPlayerPreLoginEvent
(PlayerPreLoginEvent)
PlayerJoinEvent
PlayerCommandSendEvent (Not 100% about order)
PlayerSpawnLocationEvent

[weak meteor]

Its your decision if you use Async or sync with the Scheduler

[serene sigil]

OMG tysm

[wet breach]

difference is, one schedules tasks the other is the task to be ran

[serene sigil]

which one is before the chunk gets loaded?

[wet breach]

however, the runnables don't require to be scheduled to run though

you could simply invoke their run method

this doesn't necessarily mean they are sync as you could just make another thread and toss it in there as well

also, runnables can be created via anonymous inner classes too

[weak meteor]

i guess AsyncPlayerPreLoginEvent

[wet breach]

hope that clears up the confusion between those two things 🙂

[serene sigil]

alr

[wet breach]

ideally you should use the scheduler to schedule your tasks as it makes it easier

[weak meteor]

i guess

im not sure

[lost matrix]

AsyncPlayerPreLoginEvent
(PlayerPreLoginEvent)
PlayerSpawnLocationEvent
PlayerJoinEvent
PlayerCommandSendEvent

[wet breach]

pretty sure join is before spawn

[serene sigil]

whats the difference between AsyncPlayerPreLoginEvent and PlayerPreLoginEvent

[chrome beacon]

Async

[lost matrix]

Thought so too

[wet breach]

weird

is the same even if tested multiple times?

I wonder if they are just sent at the same time

or maybe they happen at the same time and at some point the order swapped somewhere

[lost matrix]

Cant really fire events "at the same time" if they are sync 🙂

[serene sigil]

and when using the AsyncPlayerPreLoginEvent will the size of getOnlinePlayers.size be 0 or 1

[wet breach]

That isn't what I meant

I just mean if they both happen within the same block code to be thrown

[serene sigil]

depending that it had no players

[wet breach]

if that is true, then its just a matter that the order of throwing the events could have changed over time

all well, seems spawn comes before join according to your test

[lost matrix]

Just tried a bunch of times, even with removing the player dat

[lost matrix]

But i see where the notion comes from

[river oracle]

hermmmmmm 10/10 java doc

[lost matrix]

AsyncPlayerPreLoginEvent is fired before a player is even allowed to join the server.
There is no Player object and if you block a client in this event, then the server never gets to know the player.
This event is often used to load player data or enforce bans.

[wet breach]

Well historically this was indeed the order of the events. So i think what happened is the code block responsible the events to be thrown were swapped so spawn is being called before join

I will have to do some tests. To see if this makes much a difference

[serene sigil]

what about PlayerLoginEvent?

[wet breach]

It could be a slight over sight if calling spawn before join actually does present a slight issue

[serene sigil]

I perhaps want to use PlayerLoginEvent in my case

[wet breach]

Playerlogin event happens on the network stack and the benefit of using it there is that you can make the player wait a bit of time without problems unlike the join the event

[serene sigil]

so will the playêr show in the list?

[wet breach]

No. They show in the list when they join

But they show up as connected if they make it past the login event

[serene sigil]

so Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers.size will show 1 after the event?

assuming no player was on before

[wet breach]

Um connected players if they query the server should show 1 if they made it past login. Getonlineplayers should show 1 if they make it past join

But considering spawn is before join though its possible that it shows 1 before

Which i am still uncertain if spawn being before join causes issues lol

[halcyon hemlock]

https://tryitands.ee

[umbral ridge]

hey, are vanilla death messages broadcasted per world or is it seen by all players in all worlds?

[wet breach]

Broadcast messages are not world dependent

[lost matrix]

That is not assured. It might be one more. But you dont know if it occurs 1 tick later, 5 ticks later, or never (when a player gets blocked from joining)

[exotic obsidian]

@lost matrix @hazy parrot

i got this error when i joined the server

[lost matrix]

1. 1.8 support was dropped years ago
2. Are you developing your own plugin?

[exotic obsidian]

yup

[lost matrix]

Then debug why your database is not connected

[exotic obsidian]

listen

when i was programming my plugin on my localhost (database)

it's works great

but i changed the database connection info because im using vps now

[lost matrix]

Cool. Now go ahead and debug why your connection couldnt be established.

[exotic obsidian]

idk but i will check

btw i installed mysql server on my vps

[umbral ridge]

So this is a workaround I wrote awhile ago for disabling the "Respawn point set" message, when you interact with the bed, is there any other way to handle it? https://github.com/dmulloy2/ProtocolLib/issues/2472#issuecomment-1622663815

[knotty aspen]

Paper has an event for that. but with Spigot the best you can do is cancelling the interaction and handling the respawn stuff yourself

[umbral ridge]

now i kinda want to switch to paper

[echo basalt]

should I make a wrapper object for this

[minor junco]

No, but wrap the code

[echo basalt]

I wonder if there's a better way to do this

[minor junco]

Still is not wrapped

[minor junco]

What's happening with the allocation of those objects

Idk looks wrong just allocating objects and not doing anything to them

[echo basalt]

They're being stored in the super class

[minor junco]

Mhn kay

[shut field]

how can you rotate an entities head smoothly to make it look like it's looking towards a location? But not just teleporting them to look at it cause that's rigid

maybe teleporting them multiple times to the same x,y,z, with different pitch and yaw, but I'm manly asking about the math of getting the pitch and yaw

[echo basalt]

Basically interpolation

[shut field]

woah I remember smth about that in linear algebra

[echo basalt]

public double lerp(double start, double end, double progress) {
  return start + (end - start) * progress;
}

Progress ranges from 0-1

[shut field]

would progress be smth comparable to the step?

[echo basalt]

progress = step / totalSteps

yeah

[shut field]

that's smart

thanks

[echo basalt]

No worries

[gleaming grove]

ItemDisplay + TextDisplay + mathematics ?

[umbral ridge]

hey

any idea how to catch ClientboundGameEventPacket with ProtocolLib?

[wet breach]

Sometimes just creating the object is good enough. Forget there may be logic in those classes that do stuff once its created and thus nothing further needs to happen with the object after its created.

[quaint mantle]

for a server like hypixel, is it like a different "server" for each gamemode

[echo basalt]

uh no

[quaint mantle]

like

how do i explain

[echo basalt]

Hypixel has like 4 different "templates"

At least

They have their lobby servers, their "mini" servers, their "mega" servers, smp and skyblock

[quaint mantle]

so like when you join a new bw game

what's actually happening

[echo basalt]

So

Due to the way their minigame engine works, they can actually just have all their minigames under 1 plugin

[quaint mantle]

ya

[echo basalt]

So when you ask to join a bedwars game their matchmaking service points you to the "ideal" bedwars server

Then it asks the load balancer in case it needs to scale up or down

[quaint mantle]

scale what

[echo basalt]

The amount of servers deployed

I'm working on something like that right now

[quaint mantle]

so

[echo basalt]

Basically they just have a bunch of templates that are copypasted across machines

[quaint mantle]

ah so if I made a mini game server

my plugin would need like a

world management system right

[echo basalt]

Well, we'll get to that

[quaint mantle]

because i dont think it's like

[fleet kraken]

i'm not caching it

[echo basalt]

The load balancer is responsible for starting and stopping server instances from a template

[quaint mantle]

so it is a different server for each gamemode?

[echo basalt]

Eh, yes and no

Their "mini" instances hold all the small-scale minigames like bedwars, skywars etc

Their "mega" instances hold all their large-scale gamemodes like mega walls

Their "lobby" instances (might be merged into mini) handle the player lobby

They also have "proxy" instances

And for skyblock I'm not too sure but I'd say islands are ran on mini instances and larger stuff are handled in mega instances

They could be their own templates

Regardless, the "mini" instance receives command from the matchmaking service to, let's say, "create a bedwars game with XYZ map"

[wet breach]

It should be noted each instance can easily have 10 games going at once before another instance needs to spool up

[echo basalt]

Exactly

[quaint mantle]

so is that where a world manager is put in place

[echo basalt]

I'm not saying each instance's lifecycle is tied to a game

Each instance can manage 10 game lifecycles (or more)

Worlds are all in-memory as we don't need persistence, so that's where SWM comes in

[quaint mantle]

like for example in a bukkit server it's like a bunch of worlds each get their own folder

[echo basalt]

With hypixel's it's just all in memory with little to no file caching

[wet breach]

Its not a world manager you need. You need a baremetal vm handler

[quaint mantle]

yeah so

[echo basalt]

That's the load balancer

or as I call it "allocator"

[quaint mantle]

how does each vm handle 10 games

[wet breach]

Because the mc server in that instance is just dedicated to the minigame and can spawn however many worlds it can handle

[echo basalt]

https://github.com/IllusionTheDev/Minigame-Demo/wiki/The-basics-‐-Phases

Their minigame engine (which follows similar principles to this) is built in a way that allows you to just define each game as a list of phases

So you don't need to fully build a whole world around this

You just need to do a bunch of networking

For example, "matchmaker" sends "instance-ab123" a packet saying "hey, ImIllusion wants to join game bedwars123, here's all the user data you need"

"instance-ab123" replies saying "ok, bring ImIllusion to bedwars123" and the player is sent

It's just networking

[wet breach]

Vms can have templates they are created from which contains all the necessary stuff already. Therefore its just a matter of stuffing that vm image with a custom mc server and a couple of plugins so when it comes alive it attaches to the network automatically

When the vm is has no connections for a period of time it just shuts down or informs the master its idle and the master decides

[echo basalt]

I'm not a HUGE fan of making a VM for each instance as it has a bunch of overhead

If all the tech we're running is proprietary we don't need that much and we can share resources like game maps

[wet breach]

Its not a vm per instance

[echo basalt]

Just a VM per machine?

[quaint mantle]

ok

well

if im making a mega game where there isn't a start phase

[deep herald]

i think i asked this b4 but why does this happen with bungee

[quaint mantle]

how is that handled

[wet breach]

No. More like 10 or so vms on a machine each vm handling up to 10 games at once

[deep herald]

it gets stuck on that forever

[echo basalt]

I treat an "instance" as a minecraft server

So yeah that's a VM per instance

I'm structuring mine as just a controller per machine where each instance has its own folder

[quaint mantle]

im so confused

[echo basalt]

It allows resources like map files to be cached per-machine rather than per-instance

[quaint mantle]

so does each mini game server have a world manager

[echo basalt]

Yes

Let me make you a diagram

[wet breach]

Obviously there is a few ways to do this

[echo basalt]

I'll make you one for the way I'd do it

[quaint mantle]

what abt like a big gamemode like

hypixel the pit

[echo basalt]

That's a mega

[quaint mantle]

do you think hypixel's code included a world manager

ye

for a mega gamemode

[echo basalt]

It's just a minigame that has no "start" phase

[wet breach]

Optic still wants me to create my proprietary system

[echo basalt]

Just a big eternal "playing phase"

[echo basalt]

I'm working on my own stuff

Started my own little allocation system last night

Just need to write all the networking and some of the client logic

[wet breach]

Thats neat. Reason optic wants mine is because its already proven

[quaint mantle]

it's just that im making a plugin and bunch of items got special abilitites, I dont want those abilities to be triggered in special areas

what's the best way to handle this

[echo basalt]

not the first time I'm working on one

[quaint mantle]

should i interact with world gaurd api?

[echo basalt]

Make your own region system

Or piggyback off worldguard, sure

[quaint mantle]

do you happen to know if checking if one location is in a region is a "fast" task

[wet breach]

I didnt mean to say you dont know how to make one or yours isnt as good

[quaint mantle]

and checking a flag of that region

because im assuming world guard stores its regions in memory

[echo basalt]

Eh it depends on the shape

And how many regions there are

[quaint mantle]

a square

[echo basalt]

It can be O(n) or O(1) depending on the way regions are organized

[quaint mantle]

how can it be o(1)

[echo basalt]

binary tree or chunk system of some sort

[quaint mantle]

binary tree?

how

[echo basalt]

magic

[quaint mantle]

maybe what it does is it registers regions to chunks

[echo basalt]

Something like that

perhap

[quaint mantle]

gets the chunk at the location of the region and loops through the regions in the chunk

so then it doesnt go through every single region

[simple bough]

Hey! Does anyone knows how to remove the Spigot text when the client has an unsupported version? Like "Spigot 1.20.2". Just wanted to say 1.20.2 like the normal Minecraft servers.

[echo basalt]

#help-server

[echo basalt]

This is the network structure

Each "allocation client" is responsible for keeping track of its own images and spin up servers when the master asks for it

[quaint mantle]

okay

[echo basalt]

I'd split the spigot part into a few parts:

• Allocation agent (Responsible for sending heartbeats to its managing client saying it's alive)
• Matchmaking agent (Responsible for receiving user data by the matchmaking service and relaying it)
• Minigame engine (Contains all the minigame logic and games)
• World manager (could be merged into the minigame engine, loads worlds in memory)

[quaint mantle]

That's a lot of work

[echo basalt]

indeed

[umbral ridge]

hey does anyone know how to check for event id or the message of the packet? https://wiki.vg/Protocol#Game_Event

[echo basalt]

Yeah so

Look at the NMS class

And just use protocollib's packetcontainer getters

they do something funky here

[umbral ridge]

so then how do I compare it

its kinda confusing

[umbral ridge]

that gives me StructureModifier<Integer>

[echo basalt]

.readSafely(0)

that's your int

just print out the values

you'll get there

[umbral ridge]

XD

readSafely

ok nice finally,

works

[quaint mantle]

question can i use a custom yml file instead of a config file
would they work the same?

[echo basalt]

A config file is just a yml file

Unless you mean reading your own config.yml file, that's also fine

[quaint mantle]

oh so it won't matter

[echo basalt]

Pretty much

[quaint mantle]

oh well thanks ^^

[deep herald]

anyone?

[quaint mantle]

hey guys anyone know how my return is out method i can't figure it out
https://paste.md-5.net/onideserur.cs

[echo basalt]

Your set call isn't valid

set("join_sound", "ENTITY_WHATEVER");
set("announcement", "whatever");

[quaint mantle]

can i use get string to change an enum or is there another way for that?

[echo basalt]

getString returns you a string value present on your .yml

wrap it with valueOf and you have your enum value

[quaint mantle]

hm i never did it like that before i gotta see what i can do

[rigid otter]

I wonder my, e.g., Bukkit.getPluginCommand("decentholograms"); always return null; That means I can't get PluginCommand of other commands

[echo basalt]

Is it registered in the plugin.yml

[rigid otter]

Sure

https://github.com/DecentSoftware-eu/DecentHolograms/blob/main/src/main/resources/plugin.yml

I've got no idea now

[quaint mantle]

i couldn't figure it out do you maybe have an example you can show me fo

[echo basalt]

MyEnum value = MyEnum.valueOf(myConfig.getString("my-enum-value"))

[quaint mantle]

is hte myenum called that or do i name it for the sound i am using?

[echo basalt]

MyEnum is just the enum type

Sound.valueOf or whatever

[quaint mantle]

thing is it keeps showing red on the MyEnum part constantly

[remote swallow]

You are meant to change MyEnum to whatever the enum you want is called

[echo basalt]

tell em

[torn shuttle]

MyEnum? I prefer OurEnum

that way when it shows up red you know it's right

[river oracle]

This man gets it

[quaint mantle]

Does anyone have an idea why this doesn't work?

        ServerPlayer serverPlayer = ((CraftPlayer) sender).getHandle();
        GameProfile gameProfile = new GameProfile(UUID.randomUUID(), "Frensor");
        ServerPlayer frensor = new ServerPlayer(serverPlayer.getServer(), serverPlayer.getLevel(), gameProfile);
        serverPlayer.connection.send(new ClientboundPlayerInfoUpdatePacket(ClientboundPlayerInfoUpdatePacket.Action.ADD_PLAYER, frensor));

Other packets DO work.

[eternal oxide]

look at your player tab screen

[quaint mantle]

Bruh

I already did it

Nothing appears there

[eternal oxide]

Bruuuuhhh

that one packet will not add a fake player

[quaint mantle]

Why?

This worked for me before

[quaint mantle]

Do you know how to do it then?

[eternal oxide]

        ClientboundPlayerInfoPacket playerInfoAdd = new ClientboundPlayerInfoPacket(ClientboundPlayerInfoPacket.Action.ADD_PLAYER, npc);
        ClientboundAddPlayerPacket playerSpawn = new ClientboundAddPlayerPacket(npc);
        ClientboundRotateHeadPacket headRotation = new ClientboundRotateHeadPacket(npc, (byte) Math.floor(npc.getYHeadRot() * 256f / 360f));```

[quaint mantle]

This is not for 1.19.4. Packets were changed in 1.19.3 if I remember correctly.

[eternal oxide]

correct, but it's very similar

[quaint mantle]

Why would this work?

[eternal oxide]

uh, because thats how you do it

[quaint mantle]

I already tried it with this one ClientboundAddPlayerPacket playerSpawn = new ClientboundAddPlayerPacket(npc);.
The NPC appeared, but the tablist didn't change.

[eternal oxide]

for 1.20.4 its ```java
ClientboundPlayerInfoUpdatePacket playerInfoAdd = new ClientboundPlayerInfoUpdatePacket(ClientboundPlayerInfoUpdatePacket.Action.ADD_PLAYER, serverPlayer);
ClientboundSetEntityDataPacket setEntityData = new ClientboundSetEntityDataPacket(serverPlayer.getId(), serverPlayer.getEntityData().getNonDefaultValues());

    CommonPlayerSpawnInfo spawnInfo = new CommonPlayerSpawnInfo(
            nmsLevel.dimensionTypeId(),                                // dimensionType
            nmsLevel.dimension(),                                    // dimension
            nmsLevel.getSeed(),                                        // Seed
            serverPlayer.gameMode.getGameModeForPlayer(),            // playerGameType
            serverPlayer.gameMode.getPreviousGameModeForPlayer(),    // previousPlayerGameType
            nmsLevel.isDebug(),                                        // isDebug
            nmsLevel.isFlat(),                                        // isFlat
            serverPlayer.getLastDeathLocation(),                    // lastDeathLocation
            (byte) 1                                                // keepAllPlayerData
            );
            
    ClientboundRespawnPacket respawnPacket = new ClientboundRespawnPacket(spawnInfo, (byte) 0);```

err

thats for 1.20.4

uses a CommonPlayerSpawnInfo now

[quaint mantle]

Why this many things? I only need to update the tablist. I'm using 1.19.4 btw. I haven't used 1.20.2 and above before.

[dry hazel]

it's just how the protocol does it

[quaint mantle]

This isn't appropriate for 1.20.1 and lower.

[eternal oxide]

no its not

[quaint mantle]

But I said I'm using 1.19.4. Why send something that doesn't work?

[eternal oxide]

1.19.4 uses ClientboundRespawnPacket

ok I'll not saend anythign else.

[quaint mantle]

For updating the tablist? Why?

I don't think that major changes appeared one version behind

[eternal oxide]

the respawn is sent if you are changing the players skin

[dry hazel]

mojang can rewrite the entire game in the next snapshot, there's nothing limiting them from doing changes

[quaint mantle]

What if I only use these two?

[quaint mantle]

Anyone any ideas?

[quaint mantle]

Okay... Im gonna commit a crime: @remote swallow

[remote swallow]

what crime

[quiet ice]

Pong

[remote swallow]

ping

[quaint mantle]

Pinging you. Do you know the answer perhaps?

[remote swallow]

havent got a clue

[wet breach]

what are you trying to do?

[quaint mantle]

I'm trying to add a new player to the tablist. This worked for me in previous versions, but now I'm stuck.

[wet breach]

are you using protocolib?

or don't respond I guess

[quaint mantle]

No

[wet breach]

well the bitmask that needs to be sent is 9

which consists of 2 actions

add player and update listed

[quaint mantle]

Oo so I need to do both now

[wet breach]

yeah update listed is a boolean

which informs whether the player being added should show up on the list or not

[quaint mantle]

wait my hero

[wet breach]

https://wiki.vg/Protocol#player-info:player-actions

[shadow night]

How tf do you listen to packets without any external libs

[wet breach]

you hook into the network manager

[shadow night]

The whaa

[wet breach]

and then you obtain the appropriate queue for whether you want packets for being sent or packets being received

[quaint mantle]

Wait

Can you send me a snippet?

[wet breach]

I do not have a snippet at hand to show

[umbral ridge]

[quaint mantle]

what

[proud badge]

Gradle or maven?

[quaint mantle]

Gradle

Its pretty hard at start

[umbral ridge]

thats what she said

[wary harness]

well it depends on situation 🤣

[wet breach]

maven

[eternal night]

Ant

[dry hazel]

bazel

[proud badge]

Is it possible to convert my maven project code to gradle?

[shadow night]

why wouldn't it be

[eternal night]

I mean, it will end up with some manual work

[shadow night]

definitely

[eternal night]

while gradle has something that tries to auto convert

it is far from perfect

[shadow night]

it should be easy to do it manually anyways

well, if you know gradle

[lost matrix]

I would start with maven for spigot development and stick with it for a while.

[proud badge]

Is gradle only faster when building?

Or is it faster in general gameplay etc?

[lost matrix]

Your build tool has no effect on the quality of your generated bytecode.
Its simply a tool to orchestrate additional steps for your building process.
The compilation is faster because some steps are cached. The initial compilation is usually slower.

[proud badge]

  public void execute(Runnable runnable) {
    this.executor.execute(runnable);
  }

  public <T> Future<T> submit(Callable<T> callable) {
    return this.executor.submit(callable);
  }
  @EventHandler
   public void onBlockBreak(BlockBreakEvent event) {
      Bukkit.getScheduler().runTaskAsynchronously(this, () -> {
        //This code can only use 1 thread at a time
      });
  }

```Would something like this work? Or did I do it wrong?

[rotund ravine]

What’s ur executor service doing

[lost matrix]

Single responsibility principle. Your class does too much.
Put the executor and its methods in their own class and treat it as a singleton.

[proud badge]

ye this was just an example trying to understand how this works

[proud badge]

no clue

[lost matrix]

You cant use bukkit tasks and your executor. Chooser either of those two.
I would stick with bukkit tasks for now and scrap the executor if you have no clue what it does.

[hoary spire]

ItemStack deneme = new ItemStack(Material.PLAYER_HEAD);
ItemMeta denemeMeta = deneme.getItemMeta();
denemeMeta.setDisplayName("ae");
deneme.setItemMeta(denemeMeta);```

This why dont works?

It gaves <identifier> expected and illegal start of expression

[lost matrix]

Show the exception pls

[proud badge]

ItemStack(Material.PLAYER_HEAD, 1); maybe

[lost matrix]

Wait, you mean during compilation?

[hoary spire]

Yea

[lost matrix]

This means you have a simple syntactic error.
Show us your entire class or a screenshot of it.

[hoary spire]

Only create gui code but wait some second

package my.package.gui;

import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.Material;
import org.bukkit.inventory.ItemStack;


public class mainMenu {
  
  public class testGui {
    ChestGui gui = new ChestGui(2, "deneme");
    
    ItemStack deneme = new ItemStack(Material.PLAYER_HEAD);
    ItemMeta denemeMeta = deneme.getItemMeta();
    denemeMeta.setDisplayName("ae");
    deneme.setItemMeta(denemeMeta);
  }
}```

Im using IF(Inventory Framework)

[proud badge]

How come it always skips the hundreds, how could I make it not skip it?

Maybe ChatGPT misunderstood what I asked it

[lost matrix]

Thats not valid java code. You cant just throw code into a class body.

[proud badge]

Wait yeah nvm chatgpt made a misunderstanding here

[hoary spire]

Why? I need fix what?

[minor junco]

Oh no I just seen it

[lost matrix]

Learning the very basics of java would be a good start 🙂

[quiet ice]

If number % 10 == 0?

[proud badge]

ye chatgpt misunderstood me

[minor junco]

?learnjava

[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.

[quiet ice]

You gotta understand what chatGPT gives you, but I guess times change

[proud badge]

I wanted it to detect if its 1 number and then all zeros at the back for example 20, 90, 500, 9000, 30000, 80

[proud badge]

yes

[quiet ice]

Ah that is more effort

[proud badge]

Rip

[hoary spire]

oke

but you can help me about fix it?

[lost matrix]

I cant figure out what your code is supposed to do.
So there is not much i can help you with.

[proud badge]

Btw what happens if I make some java code to open a GUI (not minecraft gui, gui as in window/app) and put it on my server as a plugin

[quiet ice]

while (x > 9) {
  if (x > 9 && x & 10 != 0) {
    return false;
  }
  x /= 10;
}
return true;

Would be the code for that if you didn't figure it out already

[proud badge]

thx

[minor junco]

well the GUI if supported is opened on your server. Depends on your environment

[quaint mantle]

https://paste.md-5.net/zalekehini.cs
anyone know what i did wrong in this code it says config needs to be an expression

[lost matrix]

Almost all servers are headless. So not much.
Worst case is you open a window on the servers host machine.

[quiet ice]

On are on a headless environment or on macos: crash

[minor junco]

if (x > 9 ... is absolete, you can just remove that

[lost matrix]

Show more code

[hoary spire]

It needs create gui with IF and i need send this gui to player

But this need only creates gui

[quiet ice]

Oh yeah, though just the part before the &&.

[quaint mantle]

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

[minor junco]

yup, happens

[hoary spire]

Im trying to send gui in other file

[quiet ice]

I did the if first, then the while, so I did not realize

[lost matrix]

You have no variable called "config"

[minor junco]

yeah I thought so haha

[wet breach]

you don't need to convert

maven and gradle can be setup in the same project since both use different systems and files

in this manner if both are setup in the project it doesn't matter which you decide to use

[proud badge]

Headless means no monitor right?

[quiet ice]

Haha, only you could suggest that

[wet breach]

o.O

why only me?

[quiet ice]

Because that is such a "well, actually" moment I can't expect from many

[wet breach]

lol

[quiet ice]

It's right, but whyyyy would you do that?

[eternal night]

if you don't know what build tool you use, how will your enemies

confuse them, trash your repo with multiple build tool files

[lost matrix]

Throw a makefile in as well

[quiet ice]

Although that gives me an idea for the moment I will invariably start migrating away from gradle

I'll probably keep both systems alive since realistically there is little maintenance cost to a gradle project once it is set up.

[remote swallow]

No

No switching back to maven

[quiet ice]

I cannot use maven in many of my gradle projects

[umbral ridge]

whats possible with gradle thats not possible with maven?

[quiet ice]

Dependency generation on the fly

[lost matrix]

Imposing an artificial java version limit on your project

[quiet ice]

Well with just maven it is possible, but IDEs say "nope, I'll parse the pom myself for deps"

[umbral ridge]

lol. i also think gradle is less documented compared to maven

[quiet ice]

Also, conditional deps are a lot more restricted under maven

[umbral ridge]

hmm

[lost matrix]

Myeah. I actually like the gradle user manual more.
But there is an abundance of maven related sources out there, simply because its more popular.

[wet breach]

well if the project is open source it gives your users options

they don't have to be forced to use one or the other

[quiet ice]

Until the moment it only builds with one as the other silently broke and noone tested

[umbral ridge]

btw, in a maven project, is output .jar compressed by default? or can you specify that somewhere

[eternal night]

"forced to use one or the other"

[quiet ice]

Probably yes

[remote swallow]

you would need maven shade plugin iirc

[umbral ridge]

when I used to work in Eclipse, there was an option to compress the jar

[wet breach]

well odds are it will break under gradle before you find some issue with maven

[quiet ice]

Nah maven jar plugin, installed by default

[quiet ice]

Things like changing dependency versions I meant

[lost matrix]

I can imagine that every IDE would really like having multiple build tools in their project directory.
Makes it easier for it to just commit unaliving.

[quiet ice]

Eclipse will only pick one

But you can add the relevant natures manually if you love duplicate suggestions

But given that the integrations work by registering their own containers, nothing breaks on that front besides code suggestions

[lost matrix]

Compression for jars require code analysis to check which classes are not
actually used on runtime. Afaik only the maven shade plugin has a minimizing option.

[quiet ice]

And even then I don't think so

[quiet ice]

That is minimize

[wet breach]

it is actually quite common for projects to have more the one build setup to use

well it was in the past anyways as not everyone could use a specific one

[umbral ridge]

is it called createDependencyReducedPom?

in <configuration> block

[quiet ice]

No

[lost matrix]

Then im not sure what he means by compressing

[quiet ice]

It's minimize

[umbral ridge]

where

[quiet ice]

Compressing is STORE (no compress) versus DEFLATE (compress) afaik

[remote swallow]

add <minimizeJar>true</minimizeJar> into the configuration block

[hoary spire]

ItemMeta import is missing i think one of problem this.

[eternal night]

notably, minimize can clap you in some fun ways

[umbral ridge]

It's just that my jar is getting a little big in size. around 1 MB and I want to compress it

[remote swallow]

1mb is nothing

[umbral ridge]

It's a big plugin

[wet breach]

dependency reduced pom is just for removing transitive dependencies that are already shaded into your jar so that when another project depends on the jar it doesn't try to fetch those dependencies since they are already included

[remote swallow]

start worrying when its over 5 or 10

[quiet ice]

Uh, did you define some huge random dependency by accident

[umbral ridge]

No I'm basically making a remake of essentials plugin

and its tons of classes

[young knoll]

I think you mean 4

[quiet ice]

Yeah then no minimize

[umbral ridge]

I don't like how essentialsx isn't so customizable so i wanted to create my own version

[shadow night]

So, you are making essentialsy?

[quiet ice]

Minimize should only be removed to handle dependencies not being used to their full potential

[umbral ridge]

no just Essentials

plugin for my server only

[shadow night]

Hm

[umbral ridge]

thanks

[lost matrix]

Interesting. I think you are the first developer to create an alternative.
I would also do a Kits plugin and a Bedwars one.

[umbral ridge]

it's a big project. one step at a time xD you can easily get lost in classes

[lost matrix]

Yes classes are scary

[quiet ice]

You should use mvn clean package for building - takes less size (~10% at times)

[shadow night]

I would guess there were other who did, but they most likely only included features they need or just never got past a certain point

[quiet ice]

Oh and use fewer classes if you want a smaller project

[young knoll]

I think that was sarcasm

[quiet ice]

Beyond that, there is little to reduce size

[wet breach]

shouldn't use clean unless there is a specific reason for it, this removes speed up advantages that maven provides

[quiet ice]

Yeah, I mean for creating the final jar

[umbral ridge]

why don't you? xD

[quiet ice]

The size diff is real though

[shadow night]

Idk

I'm not very good at understanding sarcasm, humour, etc.

[umbral ridge]

the most exciting part for me is adding more stuff to config.yml

the more customizable it is the better it is

[lost matrix]

Because... there are like a million variations for each of those plugins...

[wet breach]

when shading use minimize jar

it removes the majority of unused classes from dependencies and transitive dependencies

and understands your code to know this, however you need to do some testing to ensure nothing breaks

[umbral ridge]

yeah but is there one that you actually like?

[lost matrix]

I dont use plugins, from other devs 🙂

[shadow night]

Lol

Funny how a lot of plugin devs don't even play mc anymore

[umbral ridge]

yes yes

I dont play minecraft either, i barely have time even for myself, i come home tired asf almost everyday

but coding is fun

[shadow night]

Unless you code in some awful language

[umbral ridge]

thats great. i dont either. if I wanted to i would code vault by myself too but since it cant really be customized and it does what its supposed to i dont feel like i should create my own version

an ideal server for me would only have my plugins installed

[lost matrix]

Vault would at least need CompletableFuture<Double> queryBalance(OfflinePlayer player) for me to be useful.

[young knoll]

Pr it

:p

[umbral ridge]

what do you use for economy? your plugin?

I think the best is what you do yourself, you know exactly whats happening

[lost matrix]

It really depends on how much time you have and if its worth it.
I wrote a huge library for personal use while on a summer semester break.
Included everything from holograms, NPCs to tablists, GUIs etc.
There is so much backbone in it, that i can write content on top of that with ease.
And it grew over the years. I think the biggest time saver was introducing the
Gson backed serialization model.

[umbral ridge]

nicee

I was thinking of making a few util classes that would handle that sort of stuff too

it just that all takes time

almost too much time

you start to ask yourself if its worth it lol

but once its done, its done

usually the best stuff you want to code is hard to find and you have to do it all by yourself. think it out

[quaint mantle]

How to obfuscate nms stuff in codebase back when compiling? Like theres plugin for maven but I have gradle.

[quaint mantle]

Okay so Ive been experimenting for a couple of hours now. I haven't found a single way to solve this problem. I also tried to use protocollib, but no luck. Can anyone help me please? version: 1.19.4

paperweight userdev or patrick choes remapper

[quaint mantle]

What about spigot?

[remote swallow]

https://github.com/patrick-choe/mojang-spigot-remapper

[quaint mantle]

[eternal night]

I wonder how worth it would be to just maintain a spigot devbundle for paperweight

should be simple enough to setup and automate publishing

maybe that is my christmas obsession

Yeah, i thought we had the same schedule in Bay and BW.
Are you at a Universitiy for applied sciences or at a technical university?

KIT

so sure ? xD

average #help-development discussion on spigot tho

[lost matrix]

🤷

[hoary spire]

smile please help me about this i dont find any problem in this code

[hoary spire]

But it doesnt explains problem totally

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.

[proud badge]

Having a cooldown for events/chat messages below 50 MS (1 tick) is useless right as its impossible to go that fast?

[eternal night]

Pretty much

Well some events might happen more.often, e.g. async ones if they never have to sync with the tick thread

One tick might call multiple of the same event tho

Just, usually different context etc

[hoary spire]

Oh i think problem is related to expressions

[proud badge]

btw what were you trying to do here

[hoary spire]

this make sense (for me :p)

[hazy parrot]

You forgot ()

[umbral ridge]

You could use regex for this

:)

[proud badge]

the problem is you have a class inside of a class 💀

[hazy parrot]

(x&10)!=0

[umbral ridge]

oh wait nvm i dont understand it

[proud badge]

What im trying to do: see if a number is one non zero one in the front and the others are zeros for example 90 500 10000 etc

[onyx fjord]

is it somehow possible to get the chat format for messages without having the chat event instance?

[hazy parrot]

Isn't format set on event?

[onyx fjord]

ah damn so i cant get around it?

[rotund ravine]

I mean

You can fire a fake event or hook into the apis. First one might sent a message though

Some plugins cancel and broadcast so sadge

[cyan void]

this may be a bit advanced for me to be asking in a discord server but how can i use my plugin to sture data even when the serevr restats???

[rotund ravine]

You can store it in configuration files

[cyan void]

educate me

or show me were to be educated

[rotund ravine]

https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/creating-a-config-file/

[cyan void]

but is that a good idea

in a config file

for data

[umbral ridge]

yeah yml works fine

[cyan void]

k good

ty everyone who helped me 😄

[cyan void]

how can i change the name of the file

[rotund ravine]

@cyan void https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/config-files/#using-custom-configurations

[quaint mantle]

so something like

^/d0*$ I think

Let me test

Oh I can't post imgs

[eternal oxide]

?img

[undone axle]

Can't send images? That's because you're not verified! Use !verify to complete verification.
Alternatively, you can upload screenshots to any image hosting site and share the link.

Here's some screenshot utilities that can use to upload images.

[quaint mantle]

I tested with these

9000000

1000000000000000000000

I tested with these

ones with x failed

others passed

[remote swallow]

anyone that knows kotlin know what the fuck this means

[rotund ravine]

First parameter returns

archiveDirectory as file or parentfile if archiveDirectory is null

Second parameter is much the name with archiveClassifier and archiveNamw

And archiveFile.name as last resort

[orchid trout]

rs.getString(1) is null pointer

[rotund ravine]

0 too?

[hazy parrot]

You forgot rs.next

[orchid trout]

thaks

[hoary spire]

cannot be converted to org.bukkit.command.CommandExecutor

getCommand("testcmd").setExecutor(new mainGuiTestCmd());```

How can i fix this?

[hazy parrot]

executor has to be instance of CommandExecutor

[eternal oxide]

mainGuiTestCommand must be ^

[hazy parrot]

Aka your mainGuiTestCmd

\d for any number, change it for your case

[quaint mantle]

^\d0*$

Doesn't that work alrdy

[hazy parrot]

Code geol already sent is completely fine

Also much faster

[glad prawn]

bruh what if it starts with 0

[quaint mantle]

well idk if he wants that or not

[glad prawn]

non zero one in the front

[quaint mantle]

Ok my bad

[minor junco]

Regex is slow

[glad prawn]

ik

[orchid trout]

0 out of bounds rs.next moves pointer to next row which is empty

[onyx fjord]

specifically what i meant is applying the translation the game uses

im p sure the game uses some translation key for chat messages

[umbral ridge]

[eternal oxide]

are you 100% certain you are passing a discordID that is in your database?

[orchid trout]

100%

i copied the one in the database file and pasted it into the code

[eternal oxide]

I'd suggest not, or you are reading from an empty database and not the one you showed

also you can;t use your discordID as the Profile name. It's too long

pretty sure names are still limited to 16 characters

[orchid trout]

i use user id

[eternal oxide]

user id?

in your code you use discordID

which is supposed to be the one from your database, which is 18 characters

[orchid trout]

uh

doesnt this set the limit

[eternal oxide]

yes

[orchid trout]

so its fine

[eternal oxide]

no

[orchid trout]

ohh

[eternal oxide]

your limit is 36, your discordID is a length of 18, names are max 16

[orchid trout]

column name? or what do you mean by name

[eternal oxide]

Profile name

new Profile(uuid, name)

you pass in a length 18 String (discordID) as teh name arg

[orchid trout]

its my profile objec

t

[eternal oxide]

ah ok

in that case you are passing in the wrong discordID or using the wrong database

[orchid trout]

im lost in the sauce

i have no idea whats going on right now in my code

[remote swallow]

fun

[eternal oxide]

someone threw it?

[hoary spire]

implements CommandExecutor?

[eternal oxide]

?tas

https://tryitands.ee/

[hoary spire]

Yes. It.

Now it gaves this in compilation
is not abstract and does not override abstract method onCommand(org.bukkit.command.CommandSender,org.bukkit.command.Command,java.lang.String,java.lang.String[]) in org.bukkit.command.CommandExecutor

[remote swallow]

learning java can help

[eternal oxide]

look at your IDE warnings. it's telling you what is wrong

[shadow night]

can or will?

[eternal oxide]

if something is underlined, hover over to see what it tells you

[quaint mantle]

both

[proud badge]

To getNearbyEntities on the exact same coordinate do I use 0 or 1?

[quiet ice]

Use 1 and filter those out who are not on that coordinate

Given that the edges of a block are nearer than the corners

[proud badge]

Im looking for an item frame

So it cant be on edges

[quiet ice]

I'd still do it

I cannot find any better APIs for this usecase strangely enough

[unique bronze]

hey for the new enchantment stuff do we just return the key we had used in the constructor in the getKey method instead of passing it in startup?

[proud badge]

        Player target = Bukkit.getPlayer(targetName);
        if(target!= null) {
            Inventory inventory = target.getInventory();
            if(inventory.contains(drop)) {
                inventory.remove(drop);
            }else{
                player.sendMessage("§cWe attempted to remove the item from the player's inventory, but it was not found ("+ MaterialConverter.convertMaterial(drop.getType())+")");
            }
        }else{
            player.sendMessage("§cWe attempted to remove the item from the player's inventory, but they were offline");
        }
    }```
Issue, if the item stacks ontop of another item (for example the 1 torch in my inv goes onto another one and it becomes 2 torches) this code will recognise as there being no torches in the inventory (cause ItemStack 2). How could I make it so it notices it even if it stacks ontop of another one?

[pseudo hazel]

compare the material

or iirc there might be a way to compare disregarding the count

or you could make a copy, change the amount, and then see of its equal

but like

thats kinda expensive

[inner mulch]

its not possible to define any mutable fields in interfaces or fields that are pre-defined, right?

[carmine mica]

no instance fields

can have static final fields

[lost matrix]

Yeah, interfaces cant have fields. Best you can do is

default int maxCount() {
  return 20;
}

[inner mulch]

okay

thanks

[glad prawn]

only constant field

[proud badge]

Ok I assume I did something wrong because I checked, the array isn't null and the block is definitely a sign

The sign doesnt get the lines updated ingame

[lost matrix]

Force an update on the blockstate

[proud badge]

ok epic, how, since setBlockState does not exist

[rotund ravine]

Also use the proper nondeprecated ways

.update

[proud badge]

ok lemme try

Epic it worked

[wet breach]

you can specify variables if that helps

[raw epoch]

little bump 🙏

[young knoll]

Pretty sure the legacy converter shoves it all in the extra section

[inner mulch]

are there clean ways of automatically getting fields based on conditions. Except naming them the same every time and using reflection? (i heard reflection isnt considered clean)

[lost matrix]

You can get fields based on their type, annotations, name and declaration order.
But you shouldnt.

Unless its for serialization.

[inner mulch]

im not quite sure what serialization means, i just want that when i create new enum entries in a certain enum the fields and methods associated arent as tideous to update

[carmine mica]

not sure what would require updating if you add an enum entry?

can you give a better example?

[inner mulch]

i have added a stat enum based on events stats need to change in the player object, i create a method taht switches stats (i dont know what stat will be changed) and for every stat something special happens and the field taht describes the stats value is changed

if i add a new stat i would need to add a new case all the time

but when i could somehow get the field tied to the stat it could be easier

so that i just need to create a field with a closely related name to the stat

[carmine mica]

sounds like a general design issue

a simple idea for stats is an enum for the stat type, then a map of maps for players to stats to values

Map<Player,Map<Stat, Integer>> is just a super basic example

then you just increment the value for a stat key

[inner mulch]

how could i forget that xd

[carmine mica]

keeping a separate field for each stat's value sounds not good

[inner mulch]

thanks

you are correct

[inner mulch]

whats the difference between a hashmap and a map?

[carmine mica]

Map is the interface, HashMap is one implementation of that interface

there are lots of implementations, IdentityHashMap, LinkedHashMap, TreeMap and plenty more

[inner mulch]

okay

[carmine mica]

Map just defines the methods and their general contracts (what the method is supposed to do)

an implementation like HashMap actually contains the logic to do what the Map interface contract says

like if you look at the source of Map, you see that there's no actual logic, just methods to be implemented

[brisk estuary]

Does anybody know any 1.19+ plugin that uses NMS to create npcs and custom entities with multiple versions support? I want to check their code to learn how to do that.

[quaint mantle]

should I use world guard or just make my own region manager

cause the worldguard ui looks horrible

[umbral ridge]

make your own worldguard plugin

[restive tangle]

Light weight region manager

[quaint mantle]

anyone have an idea how worldguard gets the region given a x,y,z location

their dev said it's "as optimized as it gets"

using a tree

[sullen marlin]

For years and years they just iterated every region

They use some sort of structure now, idk what. Check the source code

[slender elbow]

yeah

priority r-tree

[tender shard]

Fancee

Whatever that is

[lost matrix]

There is actually an O(1) approach to regions instead of their current O(log(n)) one.

You can do that by initially calculating all chunks intersecting your region and then mapping the chunk x, y to your regions.

[quaint mantle]

What if there is two regions in one chunk

like the chunk completely surrounds the region

Both regions

[umbral ridge]

can you make maven increment your plugin version build number each time i recompile the project? i want something like 1.0.0.b<build>

[lost matrix]

Its O(n) for that because a region could only slightly intersect a chunk and other regions can overlap.
You need to decide if overlapping is ok. In that case you need a priority check as well.

[slender elbow]

i mean that strategy kinda goes sideways with verticality and checks finer than a chunk, then you need to start iterating or add some extra mapping, which is very pepega in terms of memory footprint

it is a trade-off, but "most optimised" does not tell you what it's optimised for

[tender shard]

https://www.mojohaus.org/buildnumber-maven-plugin/

[lost matrix]

Ah, i actually didnt think about a more granular mapping. You could easily have a discrete value for which parts of the chunks are overlapped as well.
I usually just iterate if multiple regions overlap the same chunk (which is pretty much always 1 or 2 at max).

[umbral ridge]

looking at it right now xD

[dry forum]

if i want to save a decent amount of data to a file, should i do it all in a seperate thread? also should i read and do stuff with the data in a seperate thread?

[young knoll]

Yes

[quaint mantle]

https://paste.md-5.net/ayegacogat.cpp
question is this correct code?

[lost matrix]

Isolated i would say that this is fine. What does hasPlayerJoinedBefore actually do?
Also loading your values from a config should be done when the server starts and not every time you need them.

[quaint mantle]

to check if the player joined before

cause if not it'll run for new players only

i am still new so i am doing my best

[lost matrix]

isnt it just player.hasPlayedBefore()

[quaint mantle]

oh it is xd

[quaint mantle]

this is it so far is this good?
https://paste.md-5.net/redewacera.cs

[lost matrix]

if (player.hasPlayedBefore()) { is missing a !
Why are you creating an anonymous Listener class?
It is common practice to create a concrete class implementation for your Listeners.

[quaint mantle]

i just want it to only run for new players who haven't joined before since i am new this is the best way i can do if there's another way i don't know how to do it

[lost matrix]

Create a new class
Let it implement Listener
Create a new instance of that class
Register that instance in your onEnable
