Tag with 16+ characters

I need an API that I can use more than 16 characters in one tag.

Please help mee

 

Tags can't be 16+ characters? If that's the case, then no API will be able to do it..

 

It IS possible:

http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/nametagedit/

But outdated ;(

Looks to me that this person had to get down and dirty with NMS. Here's a "custom packet" he made for it:

https://github.com/wacossusca34/nametagedit/blob/master/src/ca/wacos/nametagedit/Packet209Mod.java

 

PVP9dc NameTagEdit does not look outdated to me... It doesn't import directly into org.bukkit.craftbukkit craftbukkit or net.minecraft. So, the plugin should still work.

In any case, if you need an API for 16+ characters why not use this and if doesn't work you should update it

 

But it uses reflection to get access to methods and fields in craftbukkit and net.minecraft, which could have changed names/meaning. So that doesn't mean anything.

It uses Reflection to get the correct classes for the current version of CraftBukkit you are using... How Do i Know!?

Edit: Just re-read your post... Yes, these imports will only work if names have not changed but i seriously doubt that they have changed since 1.6.1

So is this still working and updating (reflection)?

 

PVP9dc Yes, but you don't know until you have tried. (Which im guessing you havent)

 

Can you show your code? The objective name cannot be above 16 characters, but the Display name can be.

 

It can be 32 characters

 

PVP9dc If you want to depend on another plugin then you can add my AnimationLib. It contains a Packet framework which allows you to easily craft and send packets.

You can use it like this:

Code:java

Packet packet = new Packet(PacketType.TEAMS);
//then you can set values by doing:
packet.write(<key>, <value>);

The library is still a massive work in progress but you can just add the jar to your plugin; I will soon set up a dev-bukkit page where people can download it so if you decide to use it then you can tell them to get it there.
Anyways; here is a mediafire download: <Edit by Moderator: Redacted mediafire url>

 

CaptainBern how can i send the packet?

 

PVP9dc PlayerUtil.sendPacket(<player>, <packet>);

 

Code:java

            Random r = new Random();
            Packet packet = new Packet(PacketType.UPDATE_SIGN);
          //then you can set values by doing:
            packet.write("X", -505);
            packet.write("Y",(short) 13);
            packet.write("Z", -41);
            packet.write("Line 1", "§c" + p.getName());
            packet.write("Line 2", "§e" + r.nextInt(10000));
            packet.write("Line 3", "§e" + r.nextInt(10000));
            packet.write("Line 4", "§e" + r.nextInt(10000));
            PlayerUtil.sendPacket(p, packet);

What is wrong CaptainBern
or is the problem that i use the new 1.7 spigot build?

 

PVP9dc Well first of all, I do not work with Spigot and it is not supported here, so I do not know if the packet fields are correct. (if Spigot didn't touched the packet fields then I'm sure those are incorrect)

In the source code the fields are: x, y, z and "lines", a string array that contains the 4 lines on the sign. In this case your code should be:

Code:java

Random r = new Random();
Packet packet = new Packet(PacketType.UPDATE_SIGN);
packet.write("x", -505);
packet.write("y", 13); //the fields are integers
packet.write("z", -41);
 
String[] lines = new String[]{
"§c" + p.getName(),
"§e" + String.parseString(r.nextInt(10000),
"§e" + String.parseString(r.nextInt(10000),
"§e" +String.parseString(r.nextInt(10000)
}
 
packet.write("lines", lines);
 
PlayerUtil.sendPacket(player, packet);

 

CaptainBern thank you i will try it out

 

PVP9dc No problem, happy coding!

Code:java

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Can not set int field net.minecraft.server.v1_6_R3.Packet130UpdateSign.x to java.lang.Double
 

Idk...
My Code:

Code:java

 
                double X = Double.parseDouble(getConfig().getString("signrefresh.X"));
                double Y = Double.parseDouble(getConfig().getString("signrefresh.Y"));
                double Z = Double.parseDouble(getConfig().getString("signrefresh.Z"));
 
            Random r = new Random();
            Packet packet = new Packet(PacketType.UPDATE_SIGN);
            packet.write("x", X);
            packet.write("y", Y); //the fields are integers
            packet.write("z", Z);
 
            String[] lines = new String[]{
            "§c" + p.getName(),
            "§e" + "game",
            "§e" + "leer",
            "§e" + "none"
            };
 
            packet.write("lines", lines);
 
            PlayerUtil.sendPacket(p, packet);

 

PVP9dc do Integer.parseInteger(x) y and z, the field requires a an Integer and you're passing doubles.

 

Ok ! Now its working Thanks

Code:java

                int X = Integer.parseInt(getConfig().getString("signrefresh.X"));
                int Y = Integer.parseInt(getConfig().getString("signrefresh.Y"));
                int Z = Integer.parseInt(getConfig().getString("signrefresh.Z"));
 
            Random r = new Random();
            Packet packet = new Packet(PacketType.UPDATE_SIGN);
            packet.write("x", X);
            packet.write("y", Y); //the fields are integers
            packet.write("z", Z);
 
            String[] lines = new String[]{
            "§c" + p.getName(),
            "§e" + "game",
            "§e" + "leer",
            "§e" + "none"
            };
 
            packet.write("lines", lines);
 
            PlayerUtil.sendPacket(p, packet);
