A few questions (GeoIP, CountryLogin, IPv6) ..

Hello guys,

i have a few questions.

Back to 1.0.1, i was able to use "CountryLoginMessage".
This plugin showed the Country of a player: "Player from COUNTRY has joined the game."
But its not working anymore. I've tried GeoIPTools and Essentials.GeoIP, but as response i get "unknown".

Is there any plugin for this which works with 1.4.2?

I also need one that shows the Player's IP on Login.

AND finally, isnt there any way to connect over IPv6 to a minecraft server? My Server and I has IPv6 but getting a family protocol not support :O

Thanks!

 

ven000m Minecraft runs via IPv4 only as far as I know

 

Ok

And what about a "Player from COUNTRY joined the Server" ?

 

I am actually programming an IP locator into the plugin I'm currently programming. If you want, I could possibly code this for you.

 

This would be so awesome.

Could you do this like that:

Player (from City, Country) (IP) connected.

Thank you!

Basically, you would need to find one of the million websites on the web, and configure the url like in the link above to fit the needs of the website. Then parse the output. If no solution has been found tomorrow, I'll write one.

 

Since i'm not able to code, it would be really nice if any of you guys could make this.
There's a lot people out there who are using a Plugin like that.
Looking forward to find it in the bukkit.org Plugin list!

 

Java isn't bound to any IP version I think. Try setting the java system network properties in command line like this:

Code:

java -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=false -Djava.net.preferIPv6Addresses=true -jar craftbukkit.jar

However, the minecraft client can support IPv6 Addresses. There was a IPv6 parsing bug wich was fixed in Beta 1.6, but in the english Minecraftwiki, I can't find that anymore, but I found the bugfix it in the german Minecraftwiki.

 

Can you link me to the german Minecraftwiki?

 

Sure (if you can understand it): http://de.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Versionsgeschichte/Beta#1.6. Search for "IPv6" in "Beta 1.6"

("Um sich mit einen Server mit dem IPv6 Format zu verbinden, muss man nun folgendes Muster verwenden: [1234:567::1]:25565")

 

Thank you.
So if i'm using

java -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -Djava.net.preferIPv6Addresses=true -jar craftbukkit.jar

It should be work with IPv6 and IPv4 right?

 

Nope. The java documaentations says "java.net.preferIPv4Stack" should be set to "true", if only IPv4 should be used. But java.net.preferIPv6Addresses would I keep at "true".

 

k, never knew that it would be possible :3

 

Still doesnt work :/.
I think im waiting for the official support.

fireblast709, did you tried the IPWelcomeCountry Plugin ?

 

Try making a local server, run it with :

Code:

java -jar -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=false -Djava.net.preferIPv6Addresses=true  craftbukkit-1.4.2-R0.2.jar

and connect in Minecraft with IPv6 Address

Code:

[::1]

 

what message you get when using essentialsgeoip? it never simply outputs "unknown"

 

Simply no message comes. When im using 3rd party tools %country code, it response with "unknown".

Did you made something?
