Hello, why it is impossible to change offline-mode: false in the config? Yes, I know you don't support piracy, neither do I. I'm just working on plugin which is based on interaction between players, mostly fighting. I used to use mine account as one player, and "Player" as second but now I can't. Don't tell me doing that is stealing from Mojang. Im using newest dev build. btw. setting read-only mode on server.properties file caused massive console spam - cannot write to file.
I have often used offline mode when I am on my laptop and not connected to the internet. Lets me play a copy of my map when I am not at home, without having to go without the bukkit addons. It's legitimate use of offline mode, and I feel your pain if they are not allowing it to be done anymore with bukkit. (It's been a few months since I've had to do this... but I will surely miss it if I can't anymore). EDIT: Ok, I just tried it on my laptop cuz you got me curious. I was able to set it to offline mode without a problem. Are you sure you have full read and write access to the file? Or, maybe you are making the change BEFORE shutting down the server, and it is re-saving the file with it set to true? Something else must be wrong here...
