[hard raft]

here it is :,,,)

[stone sinew]

no space after : on author. And make sure you're not using tabs.

[hard raft]

how do i know if im using tabs?

[eternal oxide]

I just built fine using latest buildtools

[stone sinew]

High light the empty spots if it high lights more then 1 space its good.

[warm raft]

its taking forever to clone

[eternal oxide]

not for me

[warm raft]

I mean

[hard raft]

alright its good i think

[open vapor]

How would I generate a multi part structure like a bastion through a plugin

[warm raft]

1.15 MiB/s to clone Paper but 6 KiB/s to clone Bukkit?

I highly doubt its an issue with my internet

unless theres some broken thing between me and where the stash is hosted

[eternal oxide]

I just ran build tools in a few minutes. No longer than usual

[warm raft]

I get you ran it fine

but I'm more concerned that I can't even clone from the stash

so my question is this: can you try a fresh run in a fresh dir?

[lusty raft]

Just wondering does anyone know how to disable jumping or sprinting?

[eternal oxide]

yep, sec

[stone sinew]

Cancel the packet.

Or toggle sprint event

[lusty raft]

Alright thanks

[eternal oxide]

running now

[stone sinew]

Np. And I think paper has a jump event.

[open vapor]

I'm seeing stuff about adding your own structures, but I want to generate a structure in an existing world

[eternal oxide]

Windows, so it has to download and install git

[warm raft]

unless you're using git-bash

which I am

[hard raft]

i dont have to export after every edit, right?

[warm raft]

git version 2.30.1.windows.1

[eternal oxide]

Windows uses PortableGit

[warm raft]

fair

[eternal oxide]

its cloning now

[warm raft]

I have a feeling something is up

#general seems to support that

considering I can't even view the stash via browser

[eternal oxide]

build finished

That was a clean buidl just from my newBuild script. that curl downloads BuildTools then runs it

[hard raft]

still zero plugins :(((

[hollow bluff]

I'm getting an error while running this part of my code (MySQL) com.mysql.jdbc.MysqlDataTruncation: Data truncation: Truncated incorrect DOUBLE value:

[14:12:29] [Server thread/WARN]: Can't keep up! Is the server overloaded? Running 5169ms or 103 ticks behind

i have that warning does that mean something?

like fro why it wont register my plugin?

[warm raft]

Then the route from EU to wherever the spigot stash is is messed up

[eternal oxide]

I'm UK

[teal flower]

how i can get bungee servers into ServerInfo[] or something else

[eternal oxide]

Do you mean on Spigot or on the bungee proxy?

[teal flower]

bungee

I need to get the names of all the servers and then use the command to output all their names separated by commas

sure, i can just add their names right into code but if i add server i don't want add servers in code

[eternal oxide]

getProxy().getServers()

[teal flower]

ProxyServer.getInstance.getProxy().getServers() ?

[gritty urchin]

How can I create a potion with a custom double amplifier because PotionEffect only accepts int amplifier values normally

[teal flower]

how do you imagine the potion level in decimal?

[eternal oxide]

plugin.getProxy()

whatever your plugin instance is

[teal flower]

plugin = main class or what?

[eternal oxide]

whatever class of yours extends plugin

[teal flower]

Command

[eternal oxide]

getServers() returns a map of all server names and their serverInfo

[teal flower]

and how get list of servers from this?

[eternal oxide]

getKeys()

[teal flower]

and how get servers amount?

[eternal oxide]

then you'd have to access the map and read the serverInfo mapped to each key

[teal flower]

i can get key if i know what equal this key but i don't know it

[eternal oxide]

You seem to not understand what a Map is

[teal flower]

okay
i write /servers and i get:
servers: hub, survival, grief

how?!

[eternal oxide]

how what?

I just told you how to get a list of all names

[narrow pawn]

How can I build Spigot excluding some set of patches?

[teal flower]

yes i need get all servers name to put into this list

[eternal oxide]

plugin.getProxy().getServers().getKeys()

[teal flower]

what is "plugin"

main class?

[eternal oxide]

you already asked that

[teal flower]

yes

[eternal oxide]

and I answered

[teal flower]

where

[eternal oxide]

right at your cursor in that image

[teal flower]

plugin = MainBungee.class

...

[humble stirrup]

if you cant understand what elgar has said then you need to spend more time learning java

[teal flower]

...

я нихуя не понял, ебаный пендос не может ответить на 1 ёбаный вопрос

спасибо блять

[unreal kayak]

I think..... 70% of people come here and they don't know Java well

[paper viper]

Ahm. I think you just roasted yourself

[sleek pond]

no need for swearing under your breath in russian in a text app

it's fine if your talking

[paper viper]

lmao

[sleek pond]

cuz the first thing that comes to peoples minds when they think of java is minecraft: java edition

so naturally they either want to make mods or plugins

[unreal kayak]

oh lol, they think learning Java is learning minecraft Java edition lol

[eternal oxide]

oh wow I just translated that message

Sorry I helped and gave you ever answer you asked for

[hard raft]

anyone know why a plugin would not compile?

im trying to run a basic program

and my server isnt registering it

[eternal oxide]

doesn't compile? Do you get a jar?

[hard raft]

yep

its a jar file

[eternal oxide]

then it compiles

[hard raft]

3KB

but like the file is empty

[eternal oxide]

drop the jar in here

[hard raft]

when i open it nothing happens

ok

[eternal oxide]

you have plugin.yml but no code

[graceful magnet]

it's a jar, just nothing is included there. Only the plugin.yml

[hard raft]

so how do i comile eevrything?

[eternal oxide]

what IDE are you using?

[graceful magnet]

he's using eclipse and the built in ides tools, don't know about eclipse enough to help him with that

[hard raft]

yes

[graceful magnet]

see conversation in #help-server ^^

[eternal oxide]

goto export jar and in the left window expand the project and make sure src is ticked

[hard raft]

ok ill try

[quaint mantle]

Whats a best way to make a plugin that would work good with a resource pack? I want to import multiple custom made models with textures etc. to my resource pack, then for example create a custom mob with spigot, no problem, however I would also want to assign it a custommodeldata, is something like this possible? I thought this could work in a similar way like datapacks, I'm more experienced with Java than Command blocks 😄

[hard raft]

this?

[eternal oxide]

Untick .settings in the left, and in the right untick .classpath and .project

[hard raft]

hold on

so now it should work?

[eternal oxide]

yes

[hard raft]

swag, ill run it

[toxic mesa]

So I used this to remove an item from a player, but if the item is damaged it does pass the check but it doesn't remove the item. How can I fix this in the best way possible?

if (player.getInventory().contains(mat, amount)) {
    player.getInventory().removeItem(new ItemStack[] { new ItemStack(mat, amount) });

[eternal oxide]

why an array for a single item?

[toxic mesa]

Good point, got it from internet

                if (player.getInventory().contains(mat, amount)) {
                    player.getInventory().removeItem(new ItemStack(mat, amount));

[eternal oxide]

also check the return of the removeItem attempt. If it returns an empty map it believes it succeeded. If it fails it will contain the item that failed.

[toxic mesa]

So if it fails I can check what item failed?

[eternal oxide]

yes

[toxic mesa]

Alrighty

[eternal oxide]

in the returned map

[toxic mesa]

ty

[minor garnet]

can someone help me with it #help-development message

[pearl ridge]

uhh quick question, how would this lead to a StackOverflow on spawn?

@Override
public void tick()
{
  ((EntityInsentient)this).tick();
}

Currently trying to override the EntityCat's tick method but trying to keep all the pre-stuff but as soon as I spawn the cat it crashes the server with a StackOverflow error spam

[eternal oxide]

um, you are calling the same method. Infinite loop.

[pearl ridge]

shouldnt EntityInsentient-ification for this call the tick from that class?

[eternal oxide]

you are calling yrou own tick method, try super.tick

[pearl ridge]

thing is super.tick wont do it

since I dont want the Cat's tick method, just the previous classes tick

[eternal oxide]

then don;t call tick at all and add your own logic

not sure you can cast super

[quaint mantle]

https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/how-could-i-play-custom-sounds.118901/

[fervent cove]

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Server lobby (priority 0) is not defined
what does that mean

its a bungeecord server so idk

[quaint mantle]

Did you make a plugin for bungeecord?

[fervent cove]

no should i

[eternal oxide]

Yes you can cast, try (EntityInsentient)super.tick();. No idea what EntityInsentient is though.

[quaint mantle]

#help-server

is the correct place to ask this question

Whats a best way to make a plugin that would work good with a resource pack? I want to import multiple custom made models with textures etc. to my resource pack, then for example create a custom mob with spigot, no problem, however I would also want to assign it a custommodeldata, is something like this possible? I thought this could work in a similar way like datapacks, I'm more experienced with Java than Command blocks smile

[outer crane]

Anyone notice spigot api maven builds are being weird?

[quaint mantle]

nvm lol

[outer crane]

my builds are failing

[pearl ridge]

EntityInsentient is basically the base class for all the entities that well are insentient, so basically everything that lives and isnt a player (NMS stuff)

[opal juniper]

Spigot is down in some regions at the moment

[outer crane]

oh F is it fine in the UK?

[opal juniper]

Im in the UK.... and no

[outer crane]

probably an issue on my end then

[eternal oxide]

its fine in the UK

[outer crane]

thanks either way

[opal juniper]

Ohh, i mean that i am in the UK and it is down @outer crane

[eternal oxide]

it Must be ISP specific. Virgin here

[opal juniper]

some1 else in #general said it was down in the Uk as well

[eternal oxide]

oh ISP is Virgin 🙂

[opal juniper]

possible

[outer crane]

Sky here

[drifting halo]

dead for me too

[opal juniper]

Yes, same here

[drifting halo]

not even the cloudflare timeout

[opal juniper]

Doesn't maven cache the api?

[outer crane]

lemme restart my system see if it fixes it

[drifting halo]

so not sure who's to blame here

yeah

you can put it in offline mode

[opal juniper]

ahhh, ok

[drifting halo]

still failing for me cuz my cache expired probably

[eternal oxide]

I refreshed and its fine for me, but thats not help for you

[opal juniper]

Nah, its defo down for me

[eternal oxide]

try through https://www.croxyproxy.com/

works foir me, even through proxy

[opal juniper]

works through the proxy fine

[outer crane]

ok restarted system and it works for me so it looks like it was an issue on my end

[wary harness]

does any one has any clue why age of sugar cane goes back to age 0 from max 15

is that a glitch ?

[warm cloak]

when i am coding tab completer do i need to use different classes with different onCommand methods?

[quaint mantle]

what line is this

SQLGetter.java:65

[hollow bluff]

In the file, that's line 65 I guess and its ps.setString(2, uuid.toString());, all the relevant stuff for the error is in the box above

ima just send the full file ye

[quaint mantle]

do that.

[hollow bluff]

https://pastebin.com/YSS3tnGe here is the full file in case

[wary harness]

any one has any clue xd

[quaint mantle]

FYI there is a new feature where you can drag in your class and it will show us with a built viewer

[quaint mantle]

Try google maybe idk lol

[wary harness]

tried

[final fog]

player.getInventory().addItem(item);``` how do I give a player a specific amount of an item?

[wary harness]

nothing usful to find

[final fog]

thats what I tried

but I cant find the amount part

[hollow bluff]

@quaint mantle, you know what might be the issue?

[final fog]

do I just loop it?

[hollow bluff]

first google result: https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/giving-an-item-and-a-certain-amount.339797/#post-3161809

[final fog]

o I do it there.. lmao

[quaint mantle]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/inventory/ItemStack.html#setAmount-int-

[chrome beacon]

No. Set the amount on the ItemStack

Off didn't scroll down ;/ sorry the other people already awnsered

[eternal oxide]

That error is saying your database column for POINT is a Double not an integer

[warm cloak]

.

[eternal oxide]

no

just implement TabCompleter

[warm cloak]

okey so my command executor will be in tabcompleter yes?

[eternal oxide]

wherever you have your CommandExecutor you implement Tab completer

[warm cloak]

okay thanks

[eternal oxide]

I usually have an abstract base class and then override in my command classes

[rugged topaz]

what event is triggered on a spawn egg place? PlayerInteractEvent?

[eternal oxide]

it shoudl be ProjectileHitEvent

[rugged topaz]

why would that be

[eternal oxide]

because its a Projectile

[rugged topaz]

a spawn egg's a projectile?

is that because it can be dispensed?

[eternal oxide]

Check the event projectile to see if its a SpawnEgg

[rugged topaz]

sure thing

[quaint mantle]

use CreatureSpawnEvent

check if spawn reason is spawner egg

[rugged topaz]

ah okay thanks

[sharp bough]

is it possible to use

 slr.addIngredient(3, Material.FLINT);

but instead of having Material.FLINT, having an ItemStack

so far i have this

    public static void FlyCookieTier1(){
        //ingredients
        ItemStack ing0 = new ItemStack(Material.EMERALD,1);
        //ItemMeta ing0meta = ing0.getItemMeta();
        //ing0meta.setDisplayName("Fly Cookie Tier 1 ing 0");
        //ing0.setItemMeta(ing0meta);

        //final product
        ItemStack finalProd = new ItemStack(Material.COOKIE);
        ItemMeta meta = finalProd.getItemMeta();
        meta.setDisplayName(ChatColor.GOLD + "Fly Cookie Tier 1 ");
        ArrayList<String> lore = new ArrayList<String>();
        lore.add(ChatColor.GRAY + "Use this item for");
        lore.add(ChatColor.GRAY + "5 minutes of Fly!");
        meta.setLore(lore);
        finalProd.setItemMeta(meta);

        //item creation
        ShapelessRecipe recipe = new ShapelessRecipe(ing0);
        recipe.addIngredient(2,ing0);

        getServer().addRecipe(recipe);
    }```

but i get an error in recipe.addIngredient(2,ing0) because you cant use an item stack there

i found this the other day tho

new RecipeChoice.ExactChoice

wich worked with shaped recipe

[wraith steppe]

Guys what is the best source to learn spigot api????

[chrome beacon]

#help-server

[chrome beacon]

Learn Java. Then use the Javadocs

[heavy fable]

Yes thanks

[rugged topaz]

wb getting the person who plopped down the spawn egg

[waxen plinth]

Is there a way to get how many blocks a player has broken, period?

I know there's statistics

But that's per-block

It takes ~300ms to get all of the blocks broken by a player with that method

Which is far too slow

[chrome beacon]

Hm maybe just track it yourself

Loop through everything the first time and then track the rest yourself

[rugged topaz]

    @EventHandler
    public void onPlace(final PlayerInteractEvent e) {
        if (e.getAction() == Action.RIGHT_CLICK_BLOCK && e.getItem().getType() == Material.MONSTER_EGG) {
            Entity i = e.getPlayer().getWorld().spawnEntity(e.getClickedBlock().getLocation(), ((SpawnEggMeta) e.getItem().getItemMeta()).getSpawnedType());
            if (i.getType() == EntityType.GHAST) {
                // blah blah
            }
        }
    }

    @EventHandler
    private void onPlace(final CreatureSpawnEvent e) {
        if (e.getSpawnReason() == CreatureSpawnEvent.SpawnReason.SPAWNER_EGG) {
            e.setCancelled(true);
        }
    }

kinda ugly

[wraith steppe]

Guys i know that i have to learn java first but after java where is sources to learn spigot api???????????

[chrome beacon]

I told you Javadocs

?jd

[queen dragon]

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

[wraith steppe]

Really javadocs will teach me spigot api!!!

[chrome beacon]

If you know Java you don't need anything else

[quiet ice]

Except if you need to understand bukkit-specific concepts

But for that we are here

[dusty herald]

Java can do anything

[quiet ice]

And most beginner things are not bukkit-specific

[dusty herald]

Java is all compatible

I bet you could run Java on a fuckin toaster

[quiet ice]

Well, JVM-languages are all largely compatible

[heavy mason]

Careful now, let's not get too ahead of oursevles 🙃

[dusty herald]

whats something Java can't do?

[quiet ice]

Java ME flashbacks

[dusty herald]

:)

[heavy mason]

Hmm

[rugged topaz]

c# > java

[heavy mason]

I mean it cant be able to do everything

[dusty herald]

name one thing it can't do

[wraith steppe]

Guys after learning java i cannot write a mobile app i have to learn its framewirks and api and librarys to make mobile app not everyone who learned java can do everything

[heavy mason]

Lmaoo idk, an OS written in java?

[quiet ice]

Android

[rugged topaz]

javascript* can do anything

[heavy mason]

Its probably possible

Idk

[wraith steppe]

HUMAN can do anything

[daring sierra]

na

human is limited af

[dusty herald]

physical media is forever

[daring sierra]

you ever tried changing an item meta with your bare hands?

[dusty herald]

buy laser disc

[wraith steppe]

@daring sierra are u boy dude ur name is weird!!!!

[heavy mason]

Scratches disc

[dusty herald]

look at my discord name

thanks

[compact garden]

Hi im very new to coding, i was wondering how i open a .class file. I tried to open it with notepad and visual studio, Neither worked. I have java Oracle but dont know how to open the file

[eternal oxide]

class files are already compiled

unreadable without decompiling

[lost matrix]

lol... Notepad.
Before touching spigot in any way you should def learn java on some other platform.

[compact garden]

ok

[lost matrix]

Btw i created an API for tracking player placed blocks on the idea from earlier using a PersistentDataType<int[], int[]> and the PDC of chunks ^^
https://github.com/Flo0/PlayerBlockTracker

I think its worth adding as a resource to spigot tomorrow when im sure that it doesnt trash the performance.

[quaint mantle]

in 1.16.5 when I spawn an ArmorStand, it spawn in invisible mode, how can I fix that?

[lost matrix]

It does not unless you do some stuff to the ArmorStand

[eternal oxide]

Nice on teh idea of the move. Will it move between chunks?

[quaint mantle]

if I only spawn the armorstand, it appears in invisible mode

I have this peace of code:

ArmorStand as = (ArmorStand) player.getLocation().getWorld().spawnEntity(player.getLocation(), EntityType.ARMOR_STAND);
                as.setArms(true);
                as.setBasePlate(true);

[lost matrix]

Yes i made sure that it checks that. Its pretty dynamic so its theoretically even possible to move the tracking between worlds.

[eternal oxide]

nice

[lost matrix]

Did you make sure that your server allows spawning of ArmorStands and that no other plugin alters them?

[quaint mantle]

where do I see if it allows that?

I mean

when I spawn an ArmorStand, I know it spawned because the block where it appeared it can't be clickable, I need to destroy the armorstand to be able to click that block again

[lost matrix]

Make sure that your plugin is the only one on the server.
Also place a normal ArmorStand and check if it happens to all ArmorStands.

[kindred solar]

hey guys, i need help, idk why this is line is returning null ```
Location skyblockLobby = new Location(Bukkit.getWorld("skyblock"),0,150,0);
player.teleport(skyblockLobby);

i mean, its returning this error: Could not pass event InventoryClickEvent to Plugin v0.1 org.bukkit.event.EventException: null

[paper viper]

that means that it probably means the world "skyblock" isn't loaded

[kindred solar]

how do i load it?

[paper viper]

Is "skyblock" a world you defined and created?

[kindred solar]

yes

[paper viper]

did you create it first?

[eternal oxide]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/Bukkit.html#createWorld(org.bukkit.WorldCreator)

[kindred solar]

yup

[paper viper]

Ok then use what ElgarL pointed out above

For example, in your case

[kindred solar]

okok ty elgarl

[paper viper]

new WorldCreator("skyblock").createWorld();

[kindred solar]

yes, i ill check if the world exists

then if not i create it

[paper viper]

Yeah

[kindred solar]

still not working

i did this if statement ```java
if(getServer().getWorld("skyblock").equals(null)){
new WorldCreator("skyblock").createWorld();
}

[ornate heart]

I'm using Mob#setTarget on a sheep, but it's not working as anticipated. The sheep simply doesn't follow the target. Any suggestions?

[paper viper]

No no no. createWorld loads the world

[kindred solar]

ahhh

[paper viper]

And also, never EVER use .equals for null checking

[kindred solar]

makes sense

[paper viper]

always use ==

[kindred solar]

okok ty for the tip

[paper viper]

np

[ivory sleet]

lmao

[minor fox]

does anyone know an efficient way of generating a name that's not a real MC account name?

[ivory sleet]

==

[kindred solar]

im not used to program in java lol

[ivory sleet]

yeah I see that

[paper viper]

seems sketchy

hmmmm

[eternal oxide]

.equals is to compare object instances. == is for primitives, enums and null

[kindred solar]

hmm ok ty

[minor fox]

i can obviously just merge a random amount of words together and check it against mojangs servers but eh

[ivory sleet]

loop through all names and cache then just sync every second

and have a set of strings to check

🤡

[paper viper]

lmao

[kindred solar]

now it teleports the player but stills showing this error: Could not pass event InventoryClickEvent to Plugin v0.1 org.bukkit.event.EventException: null

Plugin.java:269

what is that line?

[kindred solar]

ItemMeta meta = clicked.getItemMeta();

[eternal oxide]

there is no meta

check hasMetaData() first

[kindred solar]

worked ty

[eternal oxide]

or actually, thats not it. clicked is null

[kindred solar]

i made another thing

[eternal oxide]

ok

[kindred solar]

i made this if you want to know if(ChatColor.stripColor(clicked.getItemMeta().getDisplayName()).equals("Skyblock"))

its not showing the error anymore

[eternal oxide]

It won;t you are just hiding it in the stripColor method

it will never be true if clicked is null

so no error but its never going to be true

[kindred solar]

it is true

[eternal oxide]

look at where you are setting clicked

[kindred solar]

but it is going inside the if statement

[eternal oxide]

where do you set a value to clicked?

[kindred solar]

ItemStack clicked = event.getCurrentItem();

[eternal oxide]

I'm beginning to thing line 269 was not your error line

it was the error, but perhaps you miscounted in your IDE

[kindred solar]

maybe

is there anyway to store the player inv or do i need to store it in database?

[eternal oxide]

ItemStacks are serializable

if you only need it temporarily you could use an InventorySnapshot

else database

[kindred solar]

im trying to make a network so for exemple now im making a skyblock and i need to store the player inv somewhere

[eternal oxide]

Do you mean you want to send the players inventory from one server to another?

[kindred solar]

no

i want to store for example the skyblock inv of a player in the skyblock map, the survival inv of a player in the survival map

etc

[eternal oxide]

then database/file

or

it would be possible to store in the PDC of the player, but that will get rather large if you have too many types.

[kindred solar]

so, how do i store them in the db?

[eternal oxide]

saving to file would be simplest as ItemStacks are already serializable

All you have to do is store the inventory slot and the ItemStack it contains.

[kindred solar]

so, i create an bidimensional array to store both things?

[eternal oxide]

just a map

Map<Integer, ItemStack>

[slim magnet]

hello I do playSound and the sound only plays for half a second

[wary harness]

why does age of cactus and sugarcane restarts back to 0 insted of staying 15 ?

other crops when they reach max age they don't restart

is there any way to fix that

[eternal oxide]

they loop to zero so they can continue growing. placing a new block on top

[eternal oxide]

A sound plays for as long as the sound is supposed to.

[slim magnet]

Nvmm

[eternal oxide]

if its only 0.5 seconds then its only a 0.5 second recording

[slim magnet]

No it's a custom second

Sound

It was supposed to play ofr 40 seconds, but i discovered that it plays at a location not to the player

[eternal oxide]

I believe it needs to be a mono sound to play at the players location

[slim magnet]

i just increased the volume to 100

100

1000

[eternal oxide]

thats the range it can be heard at

[slim magnet]

yeah thats what i needed

[eternal oxide]

if you change it to a mono sound you can play it on the player and it will follow him

[slim magnet]

oh how do I do that

[slim magnet]

how do I change it into a mono sound

[eternal oxide]

no idea. I'm not an audiphile

[wary harness]

then I think for me the best solution would be if players places cactus editing age to 1

so 0 will represent fully grown

because I am droping tokens

[eternal oxide]

they can grow multiple times

but they only grow to a specific height

[wary harness]

yep I only need them so players can't spam

farming tokens

for example I am giving tokens when player farms

but if cactus age is 0 after they fully grow

that is the problem

because they can just spam click place old cactus block and try to get tokens

for the same block

so best option is in case player places cactus I should change block data age to 1

and then cactus need to to do 15 steps to get back to 0

and they need to wait

to get tokens

if u get what I mean

[kindred solar]

can u send the documentation?

[lost matrix]

You could just keep track of blocks that got placed by players and dont give tokens for those.

[eternal oxide]

Yep, only give tokens for the blocks that grow on top

[wary harness]

u can place cactus on top of each other

[eternal oxide]

yes, use 7smile7's plugin he just wrote and it tracks all blocks placed

[lost matrix]

Then dont give tokens for any blocks that got placed by a player...

[eternal oxide]

all you have to do is ask if its a player placed block

[slim magnet]

whats a anum in Sound that sounds like a WOOSH like flying etc

but a loud WOOSH

Aha

enum*

[wary harness]

all good guys got it solwed

thanks for help

[lost matrix]

https://github.com/Flo0/PlayerBlockTracker

Just made this actually... Just download the jar from the releases and add it to your server. Then you can use the API by adding the maven dependency.

[wary harness]

ok thanks I will maybe use it in future for mining drops xd

for farming age will do

[cloud berry]

anybrony know jooq? i need halp ;-; how exactly do u work with variables than can be null or not null

[wary harness]

by the way that protocollib code which u shared last night

Nice

[final fog]

Is there a way to make a chest look like its open without using packets?

[paper viper]

not really

maybe you could get away with sending block packets

but not sure

(and that method for Player class)

[final fog]

I don't know shit about packets tho

is that going to be a problem?

I'm assuming that's going to be a problem

I'll go and learn them rq

[sullen marlin]

did you try even looking at the docs? https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/block/Lidded.html#open()

cc @paper viper

[paper viper]

oh

my bad

i didn't know that existed

sorry

🥲

in that case, you could do something like this

final Block myBlock = ...;
if (myBlock.getType() == Material.CHEST) {
  final Chest chest = (Chest) block.getState();
  final Lidded lid = (Liddeed) chest;
  lid.open();
}

memory leak? and if so, what r my possibilities for finding out what exactly it is

[arctic summit]

i want to use several lists in one function, i would use for (UUID playerID : blueTeam1v1) { for one list, but how would i also include redTeam1v1 for example?

[unkempt peak]

you could just create a 3rd list by adding the blueteam list to the redteam list and iterating through that

[arctic summit]

yeah but that takes processing power

is there a way to just use both existing lists?

[slim magnet]

Anyone know a white particle?

[arctic summit]

snow?

[slim magnet]

is that in Particle

i want a fly trail kinda thing yk

[paper viper]

elaborate more

[unkempt peak]

The impact preformance would be very low (practically unnoticeable) and any other way would be just as much if not more impact

[arctic summit]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/Particle.html heres a list, try using stuff like SNOWBALL or SNOW_SHOVEL

Okay

[arctic summit]

ill use ur solution if i cant find a way to do mine, ty tho

[arctic summit]

i have 2 teams which i want when the game is over to display a message in the big text that shows up on ur screen then tp them to spawn

[arctic summit]

bro i wish i could help, i aint that good to help w/ memory leaks

[paper viper]

there's no way you can optimize that

either way, you need to do it for all players

[unkempt peak]

^

[rugged topaz]

same

[unkempt peak]

just add both lists

[paper viper]

parallel computing would be overkill

[arctic summit]

so i should just make a combined list?

[unkempt peak]

yes

[paper viper]

you can either use two loops

or use a combined list

performance is still the same

[arctic summit]

ok

thanks

can someone help with this?
#help-development message

[arctic summit]

try adding System.out.println to your if statements and see where it doesnt pop u0p

[unkempt peak]

ok

its showing up for hostile mobs no matter where i sysout it

[eternal oxide]

You are probably creating objects and not releasing them.

[rugged topaz]

found the stacktrace

every 10 ticks, i call my class that runs through inventories applying custom stats and such, and in this class (idek if this is the reason of the memory leak, or if it just happened to run out of memory right here) but it's a class with around 25 final doubles per player, but the line is where i access my sql database and declare and initalize a final double to the user's health that's found in the sql database

the gc's meant to run through this and clean up though is it not? since it's not static, nor outside the scope of a function

the class is tied to a hashmap with the player(s)

[eternal oxide]

only if you are relasing all object when finished. You shoudl be reusing

[rugged topaz]

lemme try to visualize for you

[eternal oxide]

every 10 ticks is a lot. thats twice a second

[rugged topaz]

can't ctrl c since it's a terribly long class

eh

[eternal oxide]

?paste

[queen dragon]

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

[rugged topaz]

#1 the system can surely take it, it's a beast of a pc

#2, it may be 15 or 30, unsure

plus it's only one player, being me

[eternal oxide]

then you have a serious memory leak

[rugged topaz]

public final class CustomPlayer {
    public static HashMap<UUID, CustomPlayer > stats = new HashMap<>();
    final private Player p;
    private double maxHealth;
    private double mana;

    public CustomPlayer (Player p) {
        stats.put(p.getUniqueId(), this);
        this.p = p;
    }

    private void setMana(double mana) {
        this.mana = mana + 100;
    }

    private void updateStats(final Player p) {
        final double health = MainPlugin.getInstance().sql.getHealth(p.getUniqueId());
        p.setMaxHealth(health + maxHealth + 21);
        p.setHealthScale(40);
        setMana(health);
    }
}```

an example of the class, shortened to the important parts and used parts

and again, it doesn't look like it could occur from here

[eternal oxide]

No way to tell without seeing actual code thats in use

[rugged topaz]

hence why i think the stacktrace only chose this place as it was allocating/creating new memory pointer or wtv for health at the time when it was around at 8.9Gb/9Gb and that's when it froze up

^ need you to verify if that's possible

and that the memory leak could be elsewhere

[dry beacon]

What does this null exception mean? I've never dealt with anything like this, here's my class https://github.com/dev-stan/RickChat/blob/master/src/dev/stan/plugin/RickChat.java

[eternal oxide]

impossible to tell just from that code

[rugged topaz]

and i'm like 98% sure it's that, because i've been using the same code for a while for that

hm

with me only happening to stand still throughout the entire duration, that means it has to be from a bukkit repeatingTask right?

considering the [Alchemy] Task #19200 for Alchemy v1.3 generated an exception being spammed with hella different task ids in numbers spanning out 100 of an interval each

[eternal oxide]

Github link is a 404 and your null is in RickChat line 50

[eternal oxide]

There is no way to tell without seeing code

[rugged topaz]

idk exactly how to do that

it's a project with probably over 100,000 lines

[unkempt peak]

bruh

[eternal oxide]

it sounds like you have a god class. Everything in a single class

[rugged topaz]

no

lmao imagine

[arctic summit]

how do i make the big screen covering text appear for a player

what are they called

[rugged topaz]

i might be able to diagnose it myself given that i simply just understood how the gc works and how memory leaks happen

[sullen marlin]

title

[unkempt peak]

title

[arctic summit]

:o the creator answers my question

ty

[unkempt peak]

.sendTitle()

[eternal oxide]

Are you using repeating tasks or running a new one each time?

[rugged topaz]

onEnable() runs a fuction that creates 4 syncrepeatingtasks which r unassigned

i'm sure this isn't good to have, and neither do i think it's the cause, but inside one of my syncrepeatingtask i was creating a new instance of random every 13.5 seconds

given that the gc wouldn't have picked that up it is

[arctic summit]

is player.setTitle fade in, fade out and duration in miliseconds or ticks

[rugged topaz]

ticks always

[arctic summit]

alright ty

[eternal oxide]

Create a global random and use that

[rugged topaz]

yea i just switched to my static one

[arctic summit]

to save me time playtesting it, whats a good tick amount for fading in and out?

[rugged topaz]

but is Random expensive enough to have caused it do you think, w 10gbs or no?

[eternal oxide]

but that would still not account for a 10 gig memory leak

[rugged topaz]

well how many seconds do you want it to be

yeah

thought so

if i had some grafana monitoring

this would be a lot easier

since everytime i run my cmd to check mem usage it just looks fine

like i needa know if it just spikes immediately or slowly rises up

[eternal oxide]

leave it at default -1,-1,-1

[arctic summit]

thats what im asking lol, i know its 20 tps, but im asking if yall know a good amount of time a fade in should last

[summer scroll]

might want to test it urself

[rugged topaz]

^ as long as you're not dragging over ftp everytime, why not just build and /rl

[arctic summit]

eh i guess

kinda annoying tho lmao

[arctic summit]

how can u have duration at -1?

[eternal oxide]

-1 means use the default

[dry beacon]

I'm still pretty new to java, could someone explain why this code works perfectly ```java
public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String label, String[] args) {

    Player player = (Player) sender;
    
    if (cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("rick")) {
        

        player.sendMessage(prefix + this.getCustomConfig().getString("messages.default.base-command"));
    }
    return false;
}```

but when I add String prefix = ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', this.getCustomConfig().getString("messages.default.prefix")); above the function I get a null pointer exception

[arctic summit]

ok

[rugged topaz]

elgar, any good library you have in mind for this or something to make it easier, or should i go for a basic influxdb?

[summer scroll]

your getCustomConfig method is returning null i suppose

[eternal oxide]

I would just look over the code myself and spot the leak. For you I can;t advise

[arctic summit]

one more question, whats the default time? i dont see it in the docs for player.sendTitle

[slim magnet]

whats the particle that happens when a mob dies? The white poof

[sullen marlin]

I think -1 actually makes it use the last times sent

[dry beacon]

Why is it returning null? And can I change that<?

[rugged topaz]

easy enough for someone like you ha

[sullen marlin]

the defaults are in the docs though

[summer scroll]

or the path is null

[eternal oxide]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/entity/Player.html#sendTitle(java.lang.String,java.lang.String,int,int,int)

[rugged topaz]

All timings values may take a value of -1 to indicate that they will use the last value sent (or the defaults if no title has been displayed).

[sullen marlin]

    stay - time in ticks for titles to stay. Defaults to 70.
    fadeOut - time in ticks for titles to fade out. Defaults to 20.```

[dry beacon]

The path is there, the file exists and works without declaring the string

[slim magnet]

whats the particle that happens when a mob dies? The white poof

[arctic summit]

thank you, i shouldve been more attentive

[eternal oxide]

does the path have a value?

[dry beacon]

I'm really not sure, how can I give it one?

[eternal oxide]

then thats your null

?paste your config you are reading from

[queen dragon]

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

[slim magnet]

hellppp

[dry beacon]

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

[eternal oxide]

looks to me like you have a prefix value

[summer scroll]

can you show us the getCustomConfig() method?

oh yeah the prefix

[dry beacon]

Here's my class, I followed a guide on configs by md https://paste.md-5.net/opetirepos.java

[eternal oxide]

remove line 24. You can;t initialize that variable before the config has been initialized

[summer scroll]

there you go

[dry beacon]

I'm guessing it would work if I put it under the command function?

[eternal oxide]

and remove implements Listener as that class is not using a Listener

[dry beacon]

gotcha

[summer scroll]

yes, if u put it inside the onCommand thing, or you can initialize the variable on onEnable.

[dusty herald]

You have to initialize the prefix variable in onEnable after createCustomConfig, otherwise it will always be null

[summer scroll]

after you called the createCustomConfig method

[dry beacon]

How can I use this string in other methods and classes? I can't just make it public

[eternal oxide]

you have a getCustomConfig. just past an instance of this main class to any other class that needs access

so new ChatListener(this), this);

save the instance in yoru Chatlistener as plugin and you can get access in ChatPlugin using plugin.getCustomConfig()

you will also be able to access plugin.prefix as its public

[dry beacon]

Hmm, for some reason I can't use this.prefix in the same class though

[eternal oxide]

if you moved the whole thing into a method it has become a local variable

[dry beacon]

Yup, I can't make it public though

[eternal oxide]

you need to define it where you did in line 24 like public String prefix;

[summer scroll]

do the same thing as before but initialize the variable on onEnable.

[eternal oxide]

and intialize it after you create your config

[dry beacon]

gotcha, thank you!

Hmm, prefix and color still return null even though they were initialized after the config, any idea why this could be happening? ```java
public String prefix;
public String color;

@Override
public void onEnable(){
    getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(new ChatListener(), this);
    createCustomConfig();
    
    String prefix = ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', this.getCustomConfig().getString("messages.default.prefix"));
    String color = ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', this.getCustomConfig().getString("messages.default.color"));
}

[summer scroll]

you do prefix = ...

no need String prefix = ...

or you can do this.prefix = ...

you're creating local variable right there.

[dry beacon]

Yup, and I"m making it public above

[eternal oxide]

^ adding String at the beginning you are creating local variables that go out of scope outside the onEnable.

[summer scroll]

but you're not initializing the "public" prefix and color

[dry beacon]

So I should initialize the variables in onEnable and then "fill" them?

[eternal oxide]

remove String from before teh color and prefix in onEnable

    public String prefix;
    public String color;

    @Override
    public void onEnable(){
        getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(new ChatListener(), this);
        createCustomConfig();
        
        this.prefix = ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', this.getCustomConfig().getString("messages.default.prefix"));
        this.color = ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', this.getCustomConfig().getString("messages.default.color"));
    }```

[kindred solar]

guys, i was thinking, how can i store an hashmap into an yml file

[summer scroll]

depends on the key and value ig

[kindred solar]

like this

Map<Integer, ItemStack>

[summer scroll]

sure, you can do that since ItemStack is ConfigurationSerializable.

[kindred solar]

but how can i store an entire inv to an hashmap?

[eternal oxide]

getContents() then store by index

[summer scroll]

is inventory serializable? yk using base64

https://gist.github.com/graywolf336/8153678

[eternal oxide]

Base64 would be bloat when ItemStack is already serializable

and theres no reason to encrypt it nor make it unreadable

just .getContents() and loop over storing each ItemStack thats not AIR or null against its index in the map

That can then be pushed straight to a file.

[young knoll]

You could put it in a list and just store the list

[eternal oxide]

you could but then you get nulls and AIR

[young knoll]

True

[summer scroll]

the index is the slot right?

[eternal oxide]

it would be

[dry beacon]

it worked, though I'm still not sure how to use the config from other classes, this throws me a "plugin already initialized" error which is understandable since i'd be enabling it again player.sendMessage(new RickChat().getCustomConfig().getString("messages.respond.help"));

[eternal oxide]

yes, thats wrong

[young knoll]

Don’t create an instance of your main class

Use dependency injection and pass it through constructors

[eternal oxide]

I told you above to pass an instance. new ChatListener(this), this);

[dry beacon]

Why would I create an instance of the current class if I'm trying to retrieve some information from the main rickChat class

[eternal oxide]

You can only have ONE instance of your class which extends JavaPlugin. You pass that around (as I showed you).

[kindred solar]

and how do i use an hashmap?

never did that

[eternal oxide]

Thats fairly basic Java. Not something I'm here to teach.

[quaint mantle]

https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/11/docs/api/java.base/java/util/HashMap.html

you will mostly use the put() and get() function

read up on them in there

[kindred solar]

ty

[kindred solar]

sry if i never learned java 🙂

[quaint mantle]

hashmaps are basically a data structure where you can put a value in it and have a key associated with it to unlock that value later

put(key, value)

[kindred solar]

ty, what u sent to me helped me a lot

[quaint mantle]

get(key) ....... which returns that value

for spigot you could do ........put(player, "hello world")

.......get(player)..... returns "hello world"

hope that helps

[kindred solar]

what do you think about this? ```java
HashMap<Integer, ItemStack> inv = new HashMap<Integer,ItemStack>();
for(int i = 0; i < player.getInventory().getSize(); i++){
if(!player.getInventory().getItem(i).equals(Material.AIR) && player.getInventory().getItem(i) != null){
inv.put(i,player.getInventory().getItem(i));
}
}

[kindred solar]

yup, helped me a lot

[kindred solar]

i think thats it

[quaint mantle]

what are you asking about it

[eternal oxide]

getInventory().getContents()

[quaint mantle]

yeah if you are trying to get the contents

do that

[kindred solar]

in what line?

[eternal oxide]

I guess yoru code shoudl work

[quaint mantle]

you basically reinvented a list with indexes as keys

[eternal oxide]

check for null first using ==, then check for AIR

yep, he's putting it into a map so he can push to file

[quaint mantle]

ohhhhh i see

[eternal oxide]

So he need the slot index to store too

[quaint mantle]

sure yeah that makes more sense

if hes trying to save inventory contents though doesnt it get more complicated with enchantments and stuff

[kindred solar]

wdym, where should i write that?

[eternal oxide]

HashMap<Integer, ItemStack> inv = new HashMap<>();
for(int i = 0; i < player.getInventory().getSize(); i++){
    ItemStack item = player.getInventory().getItem(i);
    if(item != null && item.getType() != Material.AIR){
        inv.put(i,item);
    }
}```

[quaint mantle]

is there a discord for ProtcolLib

[young knoll]

No, Itemstacks are serializable

[kindred solar]

the line number 4 is getting an error

[eternal oxide]

now you have the map you can simply getConfig().set("inventory", inv);

[kindred solar]

Operator '!=' cannot be applied to 'org.bukkit.inventory.ItemStack', 'org.bukkit.Material'

[eternal oxide]

ah sorry, item.getType()

[kindred solar]

npnp

ty

[eternal oxide]

only on the second one

I fixed it above

[kindred solar]

why am i getting an error while i try to set the inv data to my db?

'set(java.lang.String, java.lang.Object)' in 'org.bukkit.configuration.MemorySection' cannot be applied to '(java.lang.String)'

[eternal oxide]

show you line of code you are setting

[kindred solar]

    public void saveInv(Player player){
        HashMap<Integer, ItemStack> inv = new HashMap<>();
        for(int i = 0; i < player.getInventory().getSize(); i++){
            ItemStack item = player.getInventory().getItem(i);
            if(item != null && item.getType() != (Material.AIR)){
                inv.put(i,item);
            }
        }
        this.getSkyblockDB().set("");
    }

[eternal oxide]

thats not the line I showed you

.set("skyblock", inv);

[kindred solar]

but i have custom config files

[eternal oxide]

then put it in whatever file you want

[kindred solar]

oh

[eternal oxide]

it still needs a path and the data

[kindred solar]

nvm

it was showing an error that i never heared of and I panicked

[eternal oxide]

what you will do is instead of storing it under the "skyblock" path, you want to use the player.getUniqueId().toString()

[kindred solar]

already fixed but ty

[eternal oxide]

that way you have multiple player inventories in one file

[kindred solar]

yes, and thats what i want

[eternal oxide]

so this.getSkyblockDB().set(player.getUniqueId().toString(), inv);

[kindred solar]

yh

[summer scroll]

you can save a hashmap like that? xd

never knew that before

[eternal oxide]

yes, it becomes a ConfigurationSection

[summer scroll]

all the time I will loop through each keys and set it on the config.

[kindred solar]

is there any way to get the counted items from the config file? (like, i have 2 swords and 3 axes it ill return 5 items)

[eternal oxide]

not from the file easily, you can count Material types in the Inventory

[kindred solar]

im asking that cuz everytime the playe joins the skyblock i need to load the inv thing to his inventory

[eternal oxide]

You don;t need to know.

all you will do is the same in reverse and each item has the slot it came from stored

you will be putting every item back exactly where it came from

[quaint mantle]

can you cast PacketContainers in protocollib?

like im a similar way if you know an Entity is a Wolf you could cast it to a Wolf

[kindred solar]

yes, but for the for loop

i was thinking if i do for(int i = 0; i < 36; i++) but thats a kinda no sense doing that since i also have to place the armor

[eternal oxide]

no

you have to get teh ConfigurationSection from teh confgi and the loop the keys

[summer scroll]

so on join, get the ConfigurationSection.

[eternal oxide]

ConfigurationSection section = this.getSkyblockDB().getConfigurationSection(player.getUniqueId());
if (section == null) return;
player.getInventory().clear();
for(String path: section.getKeys(false))  {
    ItemStack item = section.getItemStack(path);
    player.getInventory.setItem(path, item);

Don't forget to clear the players inventory before you go about setting the new contents

[dusty herald]

wait ConfigurationSecions can pull itemStack?

[eternal oxide]

yes 🙂

[dusty herald]

that's fucking awesome

[eternal oxide]

You may also want to check section != null before you start looping

[kindred solar]

nvm

[eternal oxide]

check the section outside the for loop

fixed it above

[kindred solar]

is possible to save the inv at the event onPlayerQuitEvent?

[summer scroll]

sure

[eternal oxide]

save when they quit or change worlds

[quaint mantle]

anyone know protocol lib here

[dusty herald]

I kind of do

[lost matrix]

Whats your issue with plib?

[quaint mantle]

can you cast from a PacketContainer to a more specific packet type

like in spigot how you can go from Entity --> Wolf

like if I knew a packet was a CHAT type could I cast it to something more specific with methods just for that packet type

[lost matrix]

No. The PacketContainer is just a wrapper for any arbitrary packet. But you can write more specific wrapper for the types you need.
I believe there is also a repo that has some of those.

[lost matrix]

https://github.com/dmulloy2/PacketWrapper/tree/master/PacketWrapper/src/main/java/com/comphenix/packetwrapper

[kindred solar]

its returning an error

[quaint mantle]

Ah okay, ill stick with the container for now. Im just having a problem understanding how exactly someone would know to code this

[kindred solar]

Cannot resolve method 'setItem(java.lang.String, org.bukkit.inventory.ItemStack)'

[quaint mantle]

like how would they know that .getDoubles() etc etc will change those specific field you know

[eternal oxide]

Integer.parseInt(path)

[quaint mantle]

is there documentation on each specific packet like the Explosion one

[lost matrix]

This information comes from reading the protocol specifications.
https://wiki.vg/Protocol#Explosion

[kindred solar]

did that but still not loading the inv

[eternal oxide]

that will fix the error. As for loading, did you save the inventory and checked it is in teh file?

[quaint mantle]

okay i havent seen this yet, do you have some sort of tutorial explaining how to use it i can follow?

[summer scroll]

you need to save the config everytime you modify it using #set

[quaint mantle]

but its what im looking for so thanks for that

[lost matrix]

You just need to read into each packet by its own. Then you can get the fields from top to bottom. So the first Float has the index 0 then next Float has the index 1 and so on.
Then for each type it starts from 0 again.

[quaint mantle]

ohhhh

i see that, X Y Z

0 1 2

great that makes sense!

so would there be any reason this isnt working for me?

[lost matrix]

Your chat message has to be a proper json String with the accepted properties. You can achieve that by either using the TextComponent API or if you want to create something more raw then you could use Gson.
Ill send you an examlpe.
But here is the chat packet:
https://wiki.vg/Protocol#Chat_Message_.28clientbound.29

[quaint mantle]

right im looking at the chat packet right now

isnt is server-bound though

[quaint mantle]

because i want to send it not receiving

[kindred solar]

it is saying that this section is null "Players." + player.getUniqueId() + ".inv"

[lost matrix]

This is how your json Strings have to be structured:
https://wiki.vg/Chat#Processing_chat

(Scroll to the top)

[quaint mantle]

okay ill try to wrap my head around it

i was hoping it would be as easy as sending a string back

[summer scroll]

toString()

on the getUniqueId()

[eternal oxide]

what is saying that is null?

[quaint mantle]

thanks for the help

[kindred solar]

yes

[eternal oxide]

and yes toString()

your .inv is empty, so you have not saved your config after adding an inventory

[kindred solar]

no, i saved it

[eternal oxide]

good. thats not the one you posted

[kindred solar]

it is a glitch cuz when i get back on the server it dont loads the inv and then when i disconnect it clears the inv in db cuz i has no items

[eternal oxide]

show us the code that sets the inventory

on joining

[kindred solar]

when the player joins i call this method

[eternal oxide]

are you getting the message or is the for loop running?

[lost matrix]

This might work. Didnt test:

  public PacketContainer createSimpleChatPacket(final String message) {
    final PacketContainer container = new PacketContainer(Server.CHAT);
    
    // Write the chat message using ProtocolLibs chat message wrapper
    final StructureModifier<WrappedChatComponent[]> chatStructureMod = container.getChatComponentArrays();
    final WrappedChatComponent component = WrappedChatComponent.fromText(message);
    chatStructureMod.write(0, new WrappedChatComponent[]{component});
    
    // Setting the display type
    container.getChatTypes().write(0, ChatType.CHAT);
    
    // Setting the UUID to 0 | 0 so it always gets displayed (according to the protocol specifications)
    container.getUUIDs().write(0, new UUID(0L, 0L));
    return container;
  }

[kindred solar]

i think the loop is running

cuz im not getting the msg

[quaint mantle]

so I tried calling an AsyncPlayerChatEvent instead to send the message but it didnt work and my log says: AsyncPlayerChatEvent cannot be triggered asynchronously from another thread.

[eternal oxide]

do a getLogger().info in the for loop of path to make sure it is running. If it is you will need to delay calling the method for 1 tick after you join

[young knoll]

Packet listeners are async

[quaint mantle]

v

[young knoll]

You need to sync back to the main thread

[quaint mantle]

whats the difference between the two

in terms of this

[lost matrix]

Any reason why you dont want to just send the message to the player?

[quaint mantle]

because my event handler for AsyncPlayerChat adds all the different rankings and colors and stuff to the message

and when i just do Player.sendMessage() it goes around that i guess

[kindred solar]

now, the section is returning null

[lost matrix]

You need to actually send the message async in order for the AsyncPlayerChatEvent to trigger.

[quaint mantle]

so if I used just PlayerChatEvent it would work?

[eternal oxide]

make sure there is data in the config to load

[tight shadow]

how to install

[quaint mantle]

whats the main difference between Async and main thread events?

[lost matrix]

Probably

[lost matrix]

That the main thread event runs on the main thread and the async event might not.

[young knoll]

PlayerChatEvent is depreciated

[quaint mantle]

that might be why im using Async

[lost matrix]

Btw plugin messages are not catched by the chat events.

[young knoll]

You still have to call the event from the main thread

[kindred solar]

it is

[quaint mantle]

I mean i was assuming if I created a new event and called it then it would be caught later on

[quaint mantle]

how can i call the event from the main thread then. what does that mean exactly?

[lost matrix]

Right

[eternal oxide]

check for typos etc. There is no reason for it to be null

[young knoll]

Bukkit.getScheduler.RunTask

[lost matrix]

You simply run Bukkit.getPluginManager().callEvent(Event); in a sync context.

[quaint mantle]

okay ill try doing that

[lost matrix]

And you can always get a sync context by using the BukkitScheduler and running runTask() like Coll suggested

[eternal oxide]

You could change from a ConfigurationSection to a MemorySection

[quaint mantle]

okay so runTask() will run whatever task thats in it Synch

[kindred solar]

some1 can help?

[quaint mantle]

would it even make sense to call an AsyncEvent from Sync context

[kindred solar]

this is returning null ConfigurationSection section = this.getSkyblockDB().getConfigurationSection("Players." + player.getUniqueId().toString() + ".inv");

[lost matrix]

Yes. Whatever you execute in there will be scheduled for the next tick and be executed on the main thread.

[quaint mantle]

gotta ask what was the point of blocking out the UUID lol

@kindred solar idk what the rules are but you are sending every error and piece of code you have and not doing any of your own debugging it seems. try some print statements and stuff

[eternal oxide]

try java MemorySection section = this.getSkyblockDB().get("Players." + player.getUniqueId().toString() + ".inv");

[quaint mantle]

okay thanks for sharing ill try some things out

[quaint mantle]

thanks for the help

[kindred solar]

i just do that cuz there is no good info on internet 🙂

[quaint mantle]

WDYM he said to, try some print statements and stuff to debug

[quaint mantle]

right but a null pointer is sortve something that can be figured out with print statements usually. im not trying to be rude just trying to make you a better debugger

it will pay off to learn the skills

[eternal oxide]

I'm off to bed within the next few minutes so be quick

[kindred solar]

i already debbuged everything

[eternal oxide]

have you tried the MemorySection?

[lost matrix]

My bud got sunburned 2 days ago and now we literally have 10cm of snow on the streets. What is happening?

[kindred solar]

not working

[eternal oxide]

still null or what?

[kindred solar]

wait

[quaint mantle]

the 5g in the microchip implants is activating

[kindred solar]

class java.util.HashMap cannot be cast to class org.bukkit.configuration.MemorySection (java.util.HashMap is in module java.base of loader 'bootstrap';

[eternal oxide]

ok its working. The reason you got that is because its not a fresh start

it currently has your Map that you inserted. If it was a fresh start it would be a MemorySection

You can easily stop that error by reloading yoru config

so after you save, reload

let me know it works so I can goto bed

[kindred solar]

wdym with reload the config, reseting it?

[eternal oxide]

no, just reload it after you save it

.load()

[kindred solar]

yayyy

its working

tysm

but now i think im going to sleep too (5:24AM) xd

[eternal oxide]

same UK here

[kindred solar]

tysm

gn

[eternal oxide]

night

[summer scroll]

is it better to save it to a base64 if you want to save the inventory in SQL?

[covert urchin]

IDK, why did they block out fc45f33e-8812-47e5-85bf-55a0e00d8cef?

but then like, include screenname so you could look it up anyway 😮

@summer scroll depends, is it like, serialized and how?

[summer scroll]

https://gist.github.com/graywolf336/8153678

so it will only have 2 strings.

and 3 colums on the sql

player uuid, inventory, and armor

[quaint mantle]

si

you should put it to base64

[final fog]

Nah not really been trying to do that more but forgetting.

[quaint mantle]

Hey i have a problem bungeecord only forwards uuid to one server and the other one is random

[dusty herald]

Enable bungeecord mode in all spigot subservers

[quaint mantle]

I did

[vivid cove]

Someone knows how to cancel villager's trade event? :c

[dusty herald]

🤷

[quaint mantle]

Or ill rather check again

Oh i had bungeecord false on one server

I have a question where do i get uuid from what event at bungeecord preloginevent it gives me null

[worn tundra]

Try InventoryClickEvent

[crude charm]

@worn tundra can u mb plz help me

[peak depot]

whats your problem

[worn tundra]

lol

[crude charm]

this

[worn tundra]

Is that your plugin?

[crude charm]

yes

[worn tundra]

What is setting up maps doing?

You have given no details yet

[crude charm]

getting a file

one file

[worn tundra]

What file?

[crude charm]

1 sec

[worn tundra]

What's it doing with that file?

[crude charm]

  private static void setupMaps() {
        printConsole(CC.GREEN + "[Core] Setting up maps...");
        if(Core.getInstance().doesStorageFileExist()) {
            Core.getInstance().getServer().getConsoleSender().sendMessage(CC.RED + "MongoStorage " +
                    "is required to get the inventory map!");
            return;
        }

[worn tundra]

Nice

[crude charm]

    public boolean doesStorageFileExist() {
        return getResource("filestorage.txt") != null;
    }

[worn tundra]

and #getResource?

[crude charm]

@Override
    public InputStream getResource(String filename) {
        if (filename == null) {
            throw new IllegalArgumentException("Filename cannot be null");
        }

        try {
            URL url = getClassLoader().getResource(filename);

            if (url == null) {
                return null;
            }

            URLConnection connection = url.openConnection();
            connection.setUseCaches(false);
            return connection.getInputStream();
        } catch (IOException ex) {
            return null;
        }
    }

[worn tundra]

Interesting.. Have you tried deeper debugging with the advanced debugging method called Sout?

[crude charm]

no

also

[worn tundra]

Try placing some print functions inside the getResource method at different points

[crude charm]

another thiong

[worn tundra]

and see how far the code goes

[crude charm]

I tried runniong it on my vps

and it doesent start

at all

[worn tundra]

What doesn't start?

The plugin?

[crude charm]

ye

[worn tundra]

Strange

And no errors?

[crude charm]

oh wait

just got one

[worn tundra]

Ahh yep
