Inactive [TP] Server Port - v389 - Teleport between servers [1.2.3]

The patcher should just give a version error. Though it would cause problems if you patched anyway.

I would recommend Spout, since that has the client patch built in.

You can't apply the client patch to the server.

Not using Spout, and not planning on it for the immediate future, though I am for the longer-term.

And I wasn't applying the client patch to the server. It was to the client I have on the machine hosting the server. That was the issue generated by the client after the patch.

You don't need to use the Spout plugin, just use the Spout client.

The Spout launcher is much more convenient than the Server Port patcher.

Anyway, I have updated the patcher to the latest version.

Hi !
Sorry but I have some issues with v380.
I have linked 3 servers with your plugin : portals works fine, and better with the Spout client, but the 3 servers crash sometimes when using them with NO ERROR in the console neither in the log. Server can also crash by using gates in the same server.
When it crash, console stop working. I can type all that I want into, server will not react. A "stop" command don't work, typing a "works ?" in the console don't show an unknown command message ...
The servers were working fine without the portals. We can use your plugin to talk with the others servers without crashing.

Code:

(It don't show always a [ServerPort] message before a crash, it also can be a simple random thing said in the tchat.)
As you can see, we used portals and ... server crashed, without any error (clients have only a "Read timed out" disconnecting message). The .log continue with the server booting normaly (3 last lines here).

We tried with different gate : Nether -> crash. Watercurtain -> crash. A customized gate (a modified *.gat file) -> crash.

But we have only tried with v380 for now. I'll try to convince other admins to test with 379 (we are using #1060 release of bukkit) for example, if you want.

Thanks you !
Linkolas.

Hmm, looks like a deadlock of some kind. Have you tried it with just 2 servers linked?

If you teleport over and over does it eventually lock up. (If there was a 1% chance of a problem).

It might also be a problem interaction with other plugins, you could try it with just Server Port (assuming you can trigger it reliably)

Ah, I misunderstood. No worries, I've passed it around. After talking to the server about the changes that Spout can bring, it's been decided to take the plunge much sooner than originally thought (was going to be ~December originally).

Now I'm having a different, just as fun issue. For some reason, we can't get a Windows 7 host machine to update their servers.txt; this keeps causing a hash mismatch on the handshake.

You can just delete the file on all servers and /reload. You will need to re-do the connections. However, as long as you don't change the server names, portals should still work.

That is intended as a security thing, once a hash is assigned to a particular server, it can't be changed. This is to prevent it being changed by someone pretending to be that server.

It was crashing also when only 2 servers were linked. I've just tried something : I launched 2 servers on my own PC with the same plugins I have on a crashing server. Running into portals didn't crashed.
With a friend, we spammed the tchat and : one server CRASHED. The same thing, no any error in the console/log etc. So we tried a second time : it crashed again. So it's certainly a tchat communication problem or something like.

I'll try later with no any other plugin, and also by deactivating the tchat communication between server.
The last thing he sent in the tchat the second time was : "à", wich I did'nt received (because of the crash).

Re !
We have test a bit more. All letter with accents seems to crash a server.

For example :
If I activate inter-server tchat and say on Server 1 "à" or "é" or something with this letters, Server 2 will crash (but not Server 1).
If I deactivate the inter-server tchat, I can say this letters without any issue.

I hope this will be helpfull !
Linkolas

Yeah, that is very helpful. What is the best way to generate those letters in chat? Do you need to special keyboard setting or client?

Hum ... I'm french, so there are on my keyboard (that's why I have to deactivate the multi-server tchat, there are many words with that letters in french).

Since the altcode (alt + number / "é" = ALT +130, "à" = ALT + 133) doesn't work in Minecraft, I think best thing you have to do is to copy/paste (CTRL + V to paste in the Minecraft default tchat).

(You can also try by turning your keyboard in french configuration).

Spout supports ctrl+V for pasting, so I used that.

The problem was an infinite loop in the code to decode the characters back into String format. It only occurred if the special characters was the last character on the line.

The latest version should have this bug fixed.

Hello,
I'm the man who've help Linkolas to find the bug.
We just tried the latest build and it works fine.

Thanks you !!
Majorux, a Stendel's Wizard

Was just a 1 line fix.

Your bug report gave an exact way to reproduce the bug, so makes it easy to fix.

Hmm, looks like it's a firewall issue. My firewall doesn't allow programs to create new files at will, it seems.

All I had to do was copypasta the details into the servers.txt, change to match my friend's server details (IP, port number, server name) and it worked.

Ahh, cool. It could be a java security thing too.

I'm thinking so. Unrelated note, included a request on github; it's related to a bug. Newplayers toggle is booting people out right left and center, regardless of true or false.

I'm gon'na spend some time writing up what we had to do to get the server port operating properly (as opposed to randomly shunting people to the nether/kicking people/etc)

Can you give info on triggering this. It is probably not a very used feature.

You could use Craft Proxy Liter, since that forces all new players to the default server automatically.

What's the point with this (i realize there was a point before nether in SMP, but why are you still developing it)?

You can link 2 servers together. They don't even need to be on the same LAN.

When nether came out, I assume the number of people who wanted to use it reduced. However, there are still mods like multiverse which do the same kind of thing (but without the ability to travel between servers).

Yeah, but i don't see the need of having to be teleported to another server.
That was really my question.

Well, some people might want to link their server hosted in one place with another server.

Also, it allows 2 servers with different plugins to be connected and means that multiple worlds would be handled by different cores.

Oh, okay.

Hi,

The last "modified Server" given on your page is not a valid file ?

i mean the one in that page: https://github.com/Raphfrk/ServerPort/wiki/Downloading

EDIT: Ok i just read the issue #20 ^^

Since my player connect throw the proxy, i cant known their IP anymore... It's localhost:#### for each player.
Is there a way to easily ban player by ip?

Still can get the fuc*ers to reconect the players
can someone who is useing the proxie give me a hand?
skype me at deththis

can u do a vid how to set up

Hi !
Since you fixed the tchat issue, we use your plugin and it works really well. I have some ideas that can help users of this plugin, but I don't know if it is possible / I you can do it / have the time to do it.

- By using your plugin, if someone use a portal to teleport from Server 1 to Server 2 and disconect on Server 2, if he reconnect later in Server 1 he will actually spawn into the portal and will have to use /cancelredirect. Is that possible to force player to spawn in the real spawn of the Server 1 by using a normal connection to avoid some problem of unwanted teleportation ??
Example : I teleport from S1 to S2. I disconnect of S2. After 15 min, S1 will move my spawn point from portal to real S1 spawn. So if I reconnect manually on S1 5 minute after teleportation, I will connect in the portal. If I connect 20 min after teleportation, I will be in the default spawn location.

- If it is not possible, is that possible to deactivate the forced-teleportation (disable /cancelredirect and add a timer taht will disable portal teleportation for 15 seconds).
For example, if I use a portal, cancel the teleportation and reconnect on the server (so I spawn into a portal), I will not have to use /cancelredirect to play. If I want to use a portal, I'll have to wait 15s.

- Another idea : is that possible to add a tchat command that will send a [EVENT] message on all linked servers ? If possible, usable even if multi-server tchat is disabled. It will for example usable by writting "/serverport multievent (your message here)". It could be unactivable by adding a "multievent = true/false" in the serverport properties.

Thanks you !
Linkolas.

not sure if this is a big issue or not but randomly i get this in my console even though everything seems to work just fine:

I am using PEX as you can probably tell from the error. Is this a PEX thing or a ServerPort error? I can repost this on the PEX thread if its not your plugin.
