CraftBukkit for Minecraft 1.7.3 now available

The new permissions system didn't replace the old system(s) and there is no need to deactivate it, because it doesn't do anything by itself, if it doesn't get used.

If your Permissions suddenly stopped working, your Permissions plugin or the plugins using it broke.

I heard there was still a dupe bug with the pistons in MC 1.7.3
can anyone confirm?
Doest it also happen with Bukkit b1000?

i had been running 2.7.4 as i heard that 3.16 was evil, i had left the permissions.yml blank, but now being told to try installing 3.16... i wasnt sure if bukkit would skip the built in or not. and what probs are u running into with permissions?

I tried the two-piston-with-rapid-clock setup on my server using MC client 1.7.3 + CB 1000. I didn't get the duplicator working. I might have duplicated a block of dirt once and never again, but I might just have failed to count my dirt.

I'm using 3.1.5 and I don't seem to have a problem. I didn't update most of my plugins though, so my plugins don't know about built-in permissions.

The server will print a long error message. The first line is the program's view, it tells what CB is trying to do. The next blocks are a log about where it tries to do that, and the third block ("caused by") tells java's view about the problem. Of both the second and the third block we will need to see a few lines in order to help, and I think it's best posted in the according plugin's thread (unless sb else has posted the same bug).

my server do crazy can you help, here is the link to see it http://www.mediafire.com/?qbx08802kzcwd67

I've managed to do a dupe machine on b1000.
It only works for sand et gravel, but still....

After upgrading bukkit to #1000 i got this error in console: 2011-07-24 21:50:10 [INFO] Read timed out, before upgrade it was fine.

*bump*

We have the same problem!

Our Server gots every time a rollback, like 5mins, or in some situations 2hours...

Are the authors bukkit do something about it?

It seems that you are pretty much alone with that problem, so it is likely not a problem with CraftBukkit. Is "read time out" the whole and only message you get? Is there more stuff happening e.g. error messages some seconds/minutes before that?

Here are some steps you could take to help find out where the problem comes from:

- Are you using some wrapper application or script for CraftBukkit? Try running it without that wrapper.
- Create a new map instead of using the existing map. If it works, your existing map has probably an error in it, preventing some part of it to be read properly.
- Try running the server without plugins. If it works, one of the plugins is the culprit and you can find out by trial and error which one (remove and readd them one by one)
- Maybe you are running out of space. Check if there is still enough space left at your backup and main map locations. If you use a virtual hard-drive, check if it really is big enough.

With the little information that you gave here there is nothing that can be done to help you.

I get exactly the same error in console:

2011-07-25 16:43:50 [INFO] Stopping server

Seems like an incompatibility with the console you are using to start CraftBukkit. Can you choose another type of console to run CraftBukkit from? It may be caused by the new feature to have colored console output.

Is here somebody who knows better about how CraftBukkits console works now in #1000 and if/how it can be influenced to do stuff different (e.g. switch it to some kind of compatibility mode)?

This is my startup script. It will run the minecraft-server on a screen terminal. In order to see the console, type "screen -x minecraft-server" (or "screen -x" if you have no other sessions").
HTH

Code:

#!/bin/sh
set -e
cd ~/server/
exec screen -dmS minecraft-server sh -c 'java -Xmx1536M -Xms1536M -jar craftbukkit-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar 2>&1'

So I'll use this script as it dispelled my problem? How exactly should I use?

Same here.

Everything works great with #1000. No CPU problems, no RAM issues, no problems with any plugin since the moment #1000 was released.

Except for the chest wipe and sign text bug.

Any news from EvilSeph or Dinnerbone on this? EvilSeph mentioned it in the OP, but I haven't seen any news on it, yet.

I don't know if it will help for your problems since I started using it before the upgrade (since I want my server to keep runninf if I'm not logged in), but I don't see the read timeout problems on my console.

In order to use this, you should save it to a file (e.g. called minecraft-server) and "chmod +x minecraft-server" in the console. Then you can run the script by typing "./minecraft-server" from the script directory. Your desktop environment should detect this file as an executable (because of chmod +x) and allow you to start it by clicking on it.

You will obviously have to adjust the "~/server" directory to match your minecraft server directory ("~" is replaced with your home directory).

Some distributions will look for a directory called "~/bin" on login and, if it exists, put it into your PATH. If your distribution does that and if you put your script into that directory, you can call it from anywhere by typing "minecraft-server" at the command line or a run program prompt.

HTH

I feel like I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place with Bukkit as it stands. The situation seems to be thus, and I'd imagine it hardly applies to only just me;

Pre-bukkit #1000, memory leak issues, which are apparent when you have a fairly large server (15~60 online, min~max) and you have no choice but to reboot every 3-4 hours, letting the server go on for any longer and the lag starts to creep up with reputation-crushing strength that fools everyone into thinking my server is just terrible and I don't know what I'm doing, despite there being a rather huge memory leak issues which I commend you guys for because you actually fixed it in Bukkit #1000, or so you say.

I cannot confirm or deny and being in Bukkit #953 has had it's share of follies, but the memory leak issue is becoming a rather large problem. So the obvious answer is to upgrade to Bukkit #1000, right? All problems solved, right?

Wrong.

I'm seriously concerned about upgrading to #1000, I have heard from my host that he has received several tickets about people reporting practically double the RAM usage in Bukkit #1000. Pretty much everyone has had to say "nope, nope sorry, looks like we have to revert back to #953, #1000 is just too unstable". So many people have said this that there's no way it can be looked at bullshit, so when it comes to the trade-offs, I'd much rather have #953, despite the memory leak becoming a hefty annoyance to both me and my players.

Speaking with them, they've understood my situation completely. It's worse in #1000 because, and please don't take this the wrong way, you guys for some reason decided to integrate your own version of Permissions which seemed rather unnecessary and an additional hassle to something that was once so simple and straight-forward.

The whole process of upgrading to #1000, working all of my plugins to work with your Permissions, only to know that I'm taking the risk that I'm going to be one of those unfortunate people with CPU/RAM usage problems is enough for me to simply not wish to update.

This brings on the question. When's the next RB? Please don't tell me it's 1.8, this is a rather serious situation Bukkit is in at the moment. I know you guys work your asses off on this and I'm not saying you suck at your job, I'm just saying that the situation could at the very least call for a patch that fixes whatever may be causing this double usage problem.

Have you guys even been looking into it? What's going on?

@Crysillion, I honestly dont know what to say regarding the RAM issues. I have not experienced this.

You DONT HAVE To use the new permissions, I dont. And I would seriously suggest trying #1000, its much better than 953

@Crysillion My answer may be a really short one, but I want to say that I totally understand your point and I know what it means to have a server that eats more RAM than every other does. But I want to say: My server is running without Bukkit Permissions. I'm using the original Permissions 3 plugin and I had many RAM issues with all builds before #1000. But with #1000 this problems have been gone. I know that my Minecraft Bukkit server has a high usage of memory, too - more than every other one. But it has been stable since the release of #1000 now.

Uhmm can anyone explain this to me it worked before?

Looks like the "-" in your command line are some special characters instead of the normal minus sign. Maybe a copy-paste problem. If you look closely you'll actually see that the "-" before Xmx2048M and Xms2048M are a bit longer than the correct"-" before "jar".

How to set up bukkit permissions: http://wiki.bukkit.org/Setting_Up_Bukkit_Permissions

i hava a HUGE problem with bukkit
when i am on the server i can stay like 5 hours without anything unusual to happen
but when i exit the game i also restart the server (using RestartNow) to clear RAM, after i get back on the server (after 45 minutes) the console just says Read Time Out!Is this a bukkit problem or RestartNow problem?
Here is my server.log:

Thank you Bukkit Team!

Just got back from vacation... and found this pleasent suprise!
Craftbukkit 1k, feels good.

Thank you guys for confiming the new permission system is not obligated, so I can safely update and figure it out later to make a smooth transition.

1) Do you need to clear the RAM?
2) If you run on linux/Unix, maybe you can try my start script (see above in thread).
3) maybe the CB developers can make CB exit with a different exit code, so a start script can distinguish stop-to-be-restarted from a normal shutdown.

@decebaldecebal : Try this: http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/recommended-build-1000.26790/page-4#post-515206 or this: http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/recommended-build-1000.26790/page-4#post-515213

The problem likely comes from an incompatibility between the console that you use to start craftbukkit and "jline", which is used by CraftBukkit to create the new fancy, colorful console. If one of the above two helps, be sure to come back and say so. If not, also come back and say so.

If one of these helps, maybe you can start CB from the console or start script using "TERM=vt100 java ..."

The script doesn't work
PS:i think the problem is solved..i deleted RestartNow
