[INFO] LoginMessage v0.8.1 - Custom messages for login, command, death events and more! [1.2.5-R2.0]

Your version of iConomy is outdated, please upgrade to 5.

It is 5, I said so in my post

Oh, you edited it after I started writing my reply.

Anyways, let me try to give you some insight into this problem. LoginMessage is looking for the iConomy methods (so it can grab the balance) in the package com.iConomy. The package declaration changed in 5.0, so if the iConomy.jar file's package is com.nijiko.etc.etc, it's going to throw an error because it isn't looking in com.nijiko.etc.etc.

First and foremost, please stop your server when possible, delete both the LoginMessage and iConomy .jar files, redownload, and then try again.

here it is:

Ohhhh, it all makes sense now. You're going to feel real silly about this, but you didn't properly space the config file!

From the Permissions FAQ:

No, actually, it IS spaced out correctly, all the permissions are working as expected, it's just the bukkit embedded web editor that deletes the extra spaces in the post. Try posting your first word after a bunch of spaces, you'll see what I mean. I'm not sure it has anything to do with Permissions, as it does the error for every group (I didn't check default, but...). You're sure it can't come from somewhere else?

Okay, now I feel silly!

Try moving your groups around. For example, Moderators inherit Initiates, but the Initiates group is further down the page. If a group is inheriting another, make sure that group has already been defined. I think that's what might have been the problem after all, because I ended up just deleting all groups but Default and Admins when I tested with your config.

Edit: Thought of another possible problem. Instead of the inheritance being "null", just leave it blank.

Also, although doubtful this will fix anything, remove all the other permission nodes on the "Admins" group. Just make it -"*" because that asterisk means Admins have permission to do anything.

Yeah, but the other nodes are restrictions. I'll try what you said tomorrow and report.

Oh, I wasn't even paying attention. I see the little hyphen at the beginning. (didn't even know Permissions did restrictions, though. Better keep that in mind)

Progress update
I added in the QuitMessage, but I'm not sure if it works yet because I have yet to ask someone to get in my server to test it. I'm pretty sure it does. There shouldn't be any reason for it not to.

I am currently working on the GroupMessage, which—as you might know—I've had great, great trouble with. However, I finally figured out what I was doing wrong and I'm on the right track. Right now line breaks don't work, but I guess that's about the only problem... *ahem* No, it works. Plain and simple. Also would like to note that since I know how to do this now, a lot more will be easy to do.

I also tried working out the local fields auto-fill using information given to me from @NateLogan on page 16, but it didn't work. I'm pretty sure I'm doing something wrong, but it's not my main focus here for v0.7 so I'll set that aside for now.

Finally, you might have noticed by now that the future feature list has updated, including a list of planned features for v0.7. Hopefully now you'll have a little more understanding of what to expect in the coming updates, so get excited! Also, this list greatly helps me to review what I need to be working on.

After I roll out v0.7, I'll finally be able to take a breather, maybe start work on another plugin, only to get right back on the saddle again. Soon that list will be empty though, so remember, I'm still taking suggestions!

keep getting this tried re-installing iConomy and Login Message.
just keeps throwing out this error i'm using IConomy 5
i updated 4minutes ago so i know i have the latest version of both of these

Another iConomy 5 NoClassDefFoundError... *investigates*

Seriously don't know why this is happening though. Works with my iConomy.

i've got it working with a older build of iConomy but it dosent want to seem to work with my new version.
Let me try on a fresh install with just IConomy and LoginMessage and see if i can narrow down to a plugin in case something else is causing this

Original script changed its behavior (I was afraid it could happen).
Here is updated script with alternative site to check the IP:

Code:

package org.petricek.utils.net;

import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.net.Inet4Address;
import java.net.InetAddress;
import java.net.URL;
import java.net.UnknownHostException;
import java.util.regex.Matcher;
import java.util.regex.Pattern;


public class MyExternalIp {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println(getExternalIp().getHostAddress());
    }

    public static InetAddress getExternalIp() {
        InetAddress ip = null;

        //Primary site:
        ip = parseExternalIP("http://automation.whatismyip.com/n09230945.asp");
        //Alternative site:
        if(ip == null) ip = parseExternalIP("http://checkip.dyndns.com/");
        //local IP:
        if(ip == null){
            try {
                ip = Inet4Address.getLocalHost();
            } catch (UnknownHostException ex) {
                //Unknown exception, will return null;
            }
        }

        return ip;
    }

    private static InetAddress parseExternalIP(String url) {
        InputStream inputStream = null;
        BufferedReader bufferedReader = null;
        InetAddress ip = null;

        try {
            Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile("(([\\d]{1}){1,3}\\.){3}([\\d]{1}){1,3}");    //IP address regex
            inputStream = (new URL(url)).openStream();
            bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(inputStream));
            Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(bufferedReader.readLine());

            if (matcher.find()) {   //finds first IP address in first line of url stream
                ip = Inet4Address.getByName(matcher.group());
                //System.out.println(matcher.group());  //(TEST) print raw address
            }
        } catch (Exception ex) {
            //Something bad happened, return null
        } finally {
            try {
                inputStream.close();
            } catch (Exception ex) {}
            try {
                bufferedReader.close();
            } catch (Exception ex) {}
        }

        return ip;
    }
}

v0.7 Progress:

Yes, I know how I said that the GroupMessage worked, but right now (assuming the target group is "Admin") the formatting is like this:

Code:

(AdminWelcome to the server!Admin)
(AdminPlayers online: %olAdmin)
(AdminAnd so forth on and on like this...Admin)

As you can see, linebreaks are still a little tedious. I also want to use colons (as in ":") to separate parameters because I find it easier than commas (no confusion over whether you need to use a space or not, etc.). So it would be like "(Admin:.public" (added in period after "Admin" so it wouldn't automatically use the emote) with "public" meaning that the text within those parenthesis will be broadcasted to all players when a player of the group "Admin" logged in.

Alright, so how did that go?

Thanks a bunch, it works great!

Moar progress!

I am getting very close to releasing v0.6_6, and v0.7 for that matter. However, I'm going to save the first three non-struck-out items on the list for v0.7 and release v0.6_6 when the orange item is complete (which has a good chance of being today).

So stay tuned guys!

P.S. You might want to brush up on your date formats so you can have LoginMessage display the server time the way you want it to. There will be a new field in Settings.properties for this.

Edit: I'm going to leave out that last one for v0.7. That is because the way I check to see if LoginMessage should show the player the MOTD (MOTD being any message privately shown to them) will change since any of the four message types (Login, Quit, Group, User) could be an MOTD instead of just the LoginMessage.

That also means I'm preparing to release v0.6_6 now!

Updated!
And there you have it! The final release before the great v0.7! Read the OP (original post) to find out how to use the new server time code %srtime!

Doesn't Work at all if you reload plugins. That's quite the bug you have there.

Btw cb - 815.

CB815 is NOT a recommended build and Minecraft 1.6.4 is buggy as hell! Just wait for a RB and DON'T use stuff on a live server thats reported not to be working...
That's the best tip I can give

Apologises if this has already been covered in this thread.

I'm getting the following error on server start with 803.

EDIT: This was fixed by opening the file /plugins/LoginMessage/Settings.properties and making sure that there was a value for each setting that starts with Local-

Just because its not recommended doesn't mean it doesn't work, Recommended is just what the developers feel is a more stable plugin in terms of everything pertaining to the common plugins available at the time and performance they check.

This plugin advertises 815 as a supported build, so... Yeah, nice advice.
but i appreciate the effort.

And 815 works just fine, every plugin i used before 1.6 works perfectly on my server. Thats why i went ahead and let him know about that bug, because i was adding this, as i didn't have it before.

I got the same error....

Open the file /plugins/LoginMessage/Settings.properties and make sure that there is a value for each setting that starts with Local-

thx now its working

I did some testing, and for some reason the Illegal group reference happens only when I have the iConomy feature turned on, and using %bal in the loginmessage. Here's the error again :

And I just want to add that I'm running iCO 5.01 on CB803 (loginMessage 0.6.6)

Oh, and I just checked the iconomy database trace file, and each time I connect and it throws the error I get :

Code:

05-30 00:40:24 jdbc[2]: exception
org.h2.jdbc.JdbcSQLException: Table "ICONOMY_BANKRELATIONS" already exists; SQL statement:
CREATE TABLE iConomy_BankRelations(id INT auto_increment PRIMARY KEY,account_name VARCHAR(32),bank_id INT(10),holdings DECIMAL(64,2),main BOOLEAN DEFAULT '0',hidden BOOLEAN DEFAULT '0'); [42101-153]

@Rocky Do you have GeoIP? If not, then that's why. You're having the same problem as everyone else.
@frog and @dark1256 If you don't have the GeoIP database, then that is why. I forgot to check if you have the GeoIP database in the whole "Attempting to fill local fields" thing.
@Nitnelave So this happens only when you have iConomy installed? You don't need Permissions to have that error?

To @Rocky @frog and @dark1256 :

I will release a "secret" update (probably today if the testing works out good) that won't change the version number, and will fix the problem you guys are having WITHOUT needing GeoIP.

What happens is, when I attempt to fill the local fields, I'm using GeoIP methods to do so. If you don't have the GeoIP database though, it can't find the list of countries, zip codes, etc. That's why I need to check not only if the local fields aren't filled out, but also if the GeoIP database is found.

I did have the GeoIP city binary in place. It filled out the Local-Country and Local-Country-Code correctly, but the other Local- settings were left blank.

I think it is because the free GeoIP database is not fully comprehensive and does not have fine granularity for all IP addresses.

Another example of this is if I create a Broadcast message that includes the City-Code, this is sometimes blank when people join.

I am in the UK btw.

Thanks for a great plugin.

Thanks for the info.

If I'm correct, the message still works, it just spits out that annoying error message. If you can confirm as well that it still works even if not all of the fields are filled out, then I'll simply remove the code

Code:

e.printStackTrace();

where "e" is the exception and the exception is NPE.

Nope, no need for permissions. I had everything in the config set to false, except iConomy. IF I had the %bal variable, it spat the error message, otherwise, not. And if I had the iConomy set to false, no error, displays the welcome message. If you want to I can include my iConomy config, but I think the only possible problem is that I use £ and $ in my currency name (I saw the error was a string processing one?). Otherwise, nothing fancy.

Did a little "secret" update. Redownload LoginMessage if you had the GeoIP problem and tell me if it is fixed.

Okay, I think I have an idea of what might be the problem. Could you post not only your iConomy config, but also your LoginMessage.txt file (PM it to me if you don't want anyone else to see)?
