1.21.4: Velocity Forwarding Chat & MSG?

[bobhenl]

Are you using MySQL?

No

Are you using a proxy?

No

Question

Hello, I followed all tutorials and I can't get that to work, I even bought VelocityControl but I still can't get it to work. Can someone help me please, ideally on Discord, so it's a bit faster? 😅 It just looks broken to me, in debug logs isn't anything useful.

Msg forwarding works sometimes & sometimes not, in fact it worked for a while and then it stopped for some reason? Could it be due to reload?

And chat forwarding isn't working at all, I have set Proxy to enabled in proxy file, set correct server name, set Proxy: true as well in specific channels, and even enabled forwarding in the velocity control (idk if it's supposed to be enabled as it mentions channel from & to to mention only the servers that do not use chatcontrol plugin, so I haven't listed these.

I'll probably show these:

# Support proxy? (BungeeCord/Waterfall, Velocity, etc.)
# See https://github.com/kangarko/chatcontrol-red/wiki/proxy for installation guide.
Enabled: true

# The prefix before the message sent to proxy. Set to empty to disable.
Prefix: '&8[&7Lobby&8] '

# Set a unique name of this server. Should match the server name set in Velocity/BungeeCord config.
Server_Name: Lobby

first server, second one is similar justs diff server name, it uses Lifesteal-Clans, hopefully "-" char isn¨t problem

database is remote & same for both servers

settings:
I even set this:

    standard:
      Format: chat
      Format_Spy: none
      Proxy: true
      Proxy_Spy: true

but nothing is forwarded

private messages, as mentioned it worked at the beginning but then it stopped for some reason, can it be because proxy restarted & second server too, but first not? Like order of start: first server, proxy, second server?

Private_Messages:
  
  # Enable this feature?
  Enabled: true
  
  # When true, users will need to use /toggle to enable private messages to send/receive them.
  # Once manually toggled back on, we remember their choice and won't toggle PMs off next time.
  Disabled_By_Default: false
  
  # Should we send private messages to players on another server? Enable proxy in proxy.yml first.
  Proxy: true
  
  # Controls whether player username tab-completion includes players from the entire proxy network.
  #
  # If set to true, all players will be able to tab-complete usernames of players across all servers.
  # If set to false, only players with the 'chatcontrol.bypass.network.tabcomplete' permission
  # will see players from other servers in tab-completion. Others will only see players from their current server.
  Allow_Cross_Server_Tab_Complete: true

and now some velocity settings

server names are set correctly

[servers]
# Configure your servers here. Each key represents the server's name, and the value
# represents the IP address of the server to connect to.
Lifesteal-Clans = "f866dc8e-963d-45b9-8f8c-46a5cbfb763f:25565"
Lobby = "3ed648e2-8e27-4bcc-8a28-93a839ec67d9:25565"

Velocitycontrol has some players in data, otehrwise:

Server_Aliases:
  Lobby: Lobby
  Lifesteal-Clans: Lifesteal

I enabled thi too although not sure if it should be, but it didn't work when set to false neither

Chat_Forwarding:
  
  # Enable chat forwarding?
  Enabled: true
  
  # List of what servers do not have ChatControl and need chat forwarded to them?
  To_Servers:
  - minigame1
  
  # List of what servers do not have ChatControl and need chat forwarded from them?
  From_Servers:
  - minigame1

I enabled this too because I use redis function in velocity, I have two proxies, but I can't get it work on single one

# -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Redirect messages over Redis if RedisBungee (or its forks) are installed?
# -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Redis_Integration: true

and then I enabled debugs... but there's nothing useful

[15:26:44 INFO]: [server connection] Renzotom -> Lobby has connected
[15:26:45 INFO]: [server connection] Renzotom -> Lifesteal-Clans has disconnected
[15:26:45 INFO]: [player-message] Skipping join message for Renzotom because the last server name was already set.
[15:26:45 INFO]: [player-message] Detected Renzotom switch from Lifesteal to Lobby, waiting for server data...

on backend there are no useful debug things related to proxy settings or msgs, even when I enabled

# Available: chat, discord, mysql, operator, proxy
# -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Debug:
- proxy
- chat
- operator

on velocitycontrol:

Debug:
- proxy
- operator
- redis
- player-message

but as stated nothing useful

OK I guess I found the issue, "-" isn't probably supported by this?
Set a unique name of this server. Only alphanumeric and underscores are allowed.

Can it please be allowed character too? Velocity.toml supported it and I already made bunch of permissions & settings with -, like Lifesteal-Clans

I'll be glad to test that build on Discord, I've already messaged into the chat

EDIT:

I've inspected code and it shows:

                if (!serverName.matches("[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+")) {
                    throw new IllegalArgumentException("Server name can only contains alphanumeric characters, '_' and '-'. Got: " + serverName);
                }

so - should be supported too as I tested... so there's different issue probably...

still looking to solve it, ideally via Discord?

Sure, you can reach out to me via Discord if you'd like to.

Thanks for pinpointing the issue, by the way. I'll be doing some tests and research to see if it is possible to allow these characters (if it's not going to break anything internally).

And I'll keep you updated.

[bobhenl]

OK thanks! Replied to you: renzotom @devpedrobarbosa
