Inactive [SEC] xAuth v2.0.10 - Extra Authentication [1.2.5-R1.3+]

March 16th

When it it be back

Sigh... right before your post someone already answered that question.
The release date is also in the damn first post!
._. PEOPLE, Y U NO READ?

lol i did not see that i did read it

Working in

1.2.3-R0.1 ?

Whauw you're quite far with it I see, nice!
Glad my favorite authentication plugin is (almost) back

Do you think it will be done by the time the Bukkit 1.2 RB is released?

Hello!

No hurt in asking, but, is it possible to include a auto-login feature if player Premium=true?

Regards,
John

Premium as in has a valid Minecraft account?

Yes, exactly.

Discussed before and it isn't possible with Bukkit/CraftBukkit. It may be possible using Spout, which I'll be looking into at some point.

Ok CypherX,

Thanks for your feedback anyway

Regards,
John

It isn't too big of a deal, but is there any possible way to have the old xAuth functioning in 1.2? Should I even attempt a 1.2 upgrade or wait? I have a fairly popular server and would like to update to 1.2, but if there is no temporary fix then I will have to stick with 1.1. I have been using xAuth since beta 1.7 and it has worked (although buggy), but I'm not sure what I should do now. Anyone else find a way to get things working in 1.2?

Also (sorry if this was already said), when the new release of xAuth comes out, will we be able to convert the h2 database to a mySQL database (Or h2 if it is still supported)? Will the old database be compatible? This could be a major issue for me as I have about 3500 registered accounts and need to plan for the update to 1.2. I've been thinking of different ways to solve this problem, but obviously a conversion would be best. By the way, I think many peopled did a simple fix for enchantments by adding a new table in the database (I did anyway). Will this cause issues if there is a conversion option?

Thanks for continuing development of this CypherX. I plan on donating in the future

I accepted a pull request yesterday on Github which apparently updates the old version to work with 1.2, but I haven't tested it myself nor do I plan to. My plan is to release a test build later this week which works in 1.2, so you could use that. I apologize for the bugginess of previous versions, I barely knew any Java going into the development of xAuth and it quickly spiraled into a much, much bigger project than I originally planned. xAuth 2.0 "beta", if it can even be called that, is easily the low point of this plugin's life. I don't know what I was thinking when I developed that.

Yes, you'll be able to convert the h2 database to MySQL. I plan to create an import tool that will convert multiple formats (xAuth v1, xAuth v2 beta, AuthMe) into the new one. There's nothing to worry about with the enchantment fix either. My method of storing them is very similar to the method used by the fix and the import tool will take care of the rest.

Thanks for your continued support of xAuth!

Looking forward to the best authorization plugin.
Thank you very much for your efforts to release a new version!

By the way, I used "RazorSQL" to convert the h2 database into mySQL.
Worked excellent!

looking forward too, to try this out..

I got a problem! Im still using xAuth 1.2.5.

Didnt even know i was this far behind... lol... but the thing still worked perfectly!
BUT how do i convert my xauth registrations from 1.2.5... to 2.0 or 3.0 xauth?

Help would be greatttttly appreciated!

An importer tool will be made available when the new re-development version is released. Until then, don't bother upgrading.

Sorry, I'm kind of a noob. How would I use the fix in the pull request? I've tried compiling the source in Eclipse and nothing is working. Is there just a simple new xAuth.jar I can download? xD

Also as for the bugginess, I just meant after 1.0. Before 1.0, things were great

Just realized the fix doesn't even include enchantment support so don't bother, I'll be removing it shortly in preparation for the new source.

So i have to wait until march 16 before i can upgrade to 1.2?

He said he hoped to get a beta test before then

Will there be some kind of option to prevent people with spaces in their name from registering/joining?
Because of the spaces etc. those people are hard to ban since most of the commands don't work with that.

(Space as in " ")

hope there will be a beta or something similar for R6 soon, this is the only plugin preventing us upgrading to the latest, which means buggy hawkeye and a whole lot of others

Hopefully soon

Could you fix nicknames? Some logging plugins cap sensitivity, so force players so use only one nickname.
Like "Nickname", not "niCKNAME" or "nickname", or even "NICKNAME"

Previous versions (and the re-development) have a name filter that lets you specify which characters are and are not allowed. That can be used to block spaces.

Look for a test build sometime this week.

So basically, prevent them from logging in if their nick doesn't match the case they registered with?

I think he means let xauth detect ExampleUser as the same account like exampleuser... not sure though.

It already does that.

Thank you for your work on this mod. Keep up the good work. I am looking forward to the test build.

Yeah C:

But does that also include the importer tool?
