For online mode servers, this plugin makes connections to api.mojang.com to get offline player UUIDs.

Features:

Give points to players
Take points of players
Pay points to players
Look, how many points other players have
Look, how many points you have
Leader board
Permissions Support
Optional Vault support
Buy things with points (BossShop)

The plugin won't create a table in the mysql database. My config has the correct details.

I tested build #58. So far, so good!

I see, thanks for your work. I will test this version. If I may ask, what does offline UUID lookup do for the server, and what is the purpose of it? Thanks for your time!

Hence why you need to create aliases to the commands you want to use to what the plugin's original commands are. The localization.yml only changes what the plugin says, not what it does.

This conflicts with the info you've given me. If none of the UUID versions worked for you, from 2.0.0 and up, then I need to look elsewhere in my code. What your most recent debug statement is telling me is that how I'm translating UUID in the most recent version, 2.1.2, creates a deadlock for your server.

So, either A) only 2.1.2 and up is causing you issues or B) 2.0.0 - 2.1.1 is causing the same issues you've encountered so far. This matters in helping me pinpoint what I need to change in order to make a proper fix for you.

@bloxParadise_

You're right, its not efficient. At worst, it iterates through all known offline players that have visited the server once. And looking at the recent debug statement, it has to iterate through 16300 player data objects to match a name to a UUID. Needless to say, that's way beyond what I was expecting.

That specific part of the translation code was meant as a "faster", offline alternative to using the following code

Bukkit.getServer().getOfflinePlayer(name)

This method is deprecated and uses network resources to hit the Mojang servers to resolve the name to a UUID... which apparently we're not supposed to do? I honestly don't know. UUID is still relatively new and as far as I know people are just doing whatever they can to use it. To be honest, when they remove that method (they say for 1.8 or 1.9 or whatever, last I heard), I'm not entirely sure what I'm going to do. Name -> UUID is important for resolving name based commands. I may end up adding some 3rd party library when the method is removed, to keep the functionality that I need.

The reason I recently added that section was, in theory it would be faster to iterate only through the known players that have visited the server before attempting an online api lookup. Clearly that isn't the case for you.

The problem is there doesn't seem to be a good, fast offline solution, now that I know I can't simply iterate through offline players. There are ways that I could implement it faster, but none seem all that great:

Run a thread on enable to add the necessary data to a hash map for quick lookups when needed.
Cons: It keeps a lot of persistent data in memory. Data would need to be updated for any changes.
Throw the data into a file on enable and read on demand.
Cons: Takes up storage space. File needs to be kept up to date. Space taken up increases if other plugins do the same within their own folder, since its duplicate info.

So, here's the deal. I've added a config setting to disable the offending section of the method. Go and disable uuid.offlineLookup in Build #58. Tell me how that works out for you. If it works, I may end up completely removing it in the next version.

I changed everywhere it said 'points' in the files and it still needs the word points in the commands.

The way your plugin does this might be the issue here. It is VERY laggy.

points give bloxParadise_ 3

[16:22:23 INFO]: [PlayerPoints] translateNameToUUID(bloxParadise_) [16:22:23 INFO]: [PlayerPoints] translateNameToUUID() - Looking through online players: 0 [16:22:23 INFO]: [PlayerPoints] translateNameToUUID() - Looking through offline players: 16300

Might not be very efficient.

Yes, the versions that don't support UUID work fine.

Just edit the messages in localization.yml in the plugin config folder to your liking.

It stores UUID as its String equivalent. The issue you're experiencing is when the plugin attempts to translate a given player name into a UUID. Something with BungieCord must be messing with how Bukkit retrieves offline players? You said you tested it, did you have any debug output for me to look at?

Does PlayerPoints work in a previous version for you? Such as 2.0.0, 2.1.0, 2.1.1?

I tested build #57 on my server that is NOT connected to my BungeeCord network, and it worked perfectly fine. When I try it on my servers that are all on BungeeCord, the server just stops responding. Does this plugin not support BungeeCord & how it stores player uuids?

Ah, sorry, I made a typo in the debug message. Use Build #57.

No, you were using Build 53 considering I just pushed changes to make Build 54.

I have never used Bungee Cord personally, so, I've no idea how it affects Bukkit and / or plugins. I would like to think it wouldn't have any issues... but I can't say for sure without haven't tested it myself.

Maybe there are other server owners out there that use Bungee Cord and this plugin? I wouldn't know.

I was using build 54. Could it be because I'm in bungeecord?

It hasn't even reached the part of the code where it tries to save to your MySQL database. Something to do with translating name to UUID. Can you do the same thing with Build #54? Want to see exactly how many offline players its trying to iterate through.

I just said you should be able to do everything on your own by editing the localization.yml in the plugin's config folder. Can you try that first and let me know if there's any messages it does not handle that need to be added in?
