Thread: My TRUE way of logging out nulls

First and for most, I am sorry everyone for my last tutorial. I really
messed up and thought I was right. I feel really bad for saying what I did to everyone
and if I said anything that hurt anyone here, I am deeply sorry to the bottom of my heart.
And there was no reason of my actions. (Well I had a bad day yesterday... but lets keep it at that.) Anywho, here's the tutorial.

Yes, this is in my main server, so I know its the currently right code.
No, don't flame me saying it dosen't work. If it dosen't work, there are more nicer ways of saying it. (And I wont say anything in a mad way then.)
If it helps, please comment. I don't get many comments, unless there bad ones. (its been happening alot here....)




Part 1: playerhandler.java

1. Open up that file. (playerhandler.java if you didn't notice the name of part 1)

2. Find...

Code:

    public void destruct() {
        for (int i = 0; i < maxPlayers; i++) {
            if (players[i] == null) {
                continue;
            }
            players[i].destruct();
            players[i] = null;
        }
    }

and change it into

Code:

    public static void destruct() {
        for (int i = 0; i < maxPlayers; i++) {
            if (players[i] == null) {
                continue;
            }
            players[i].destruct();
            players[i] = null;
        }
    }

Where going to change the void into a static void so it can be easierly called by other files.

3. Save & close file.

================================================== ===============
Part 2: client.java

1. Add this method to your client.java

Code:

public void close_connection()
{
	returnCode = 2;
	disconnected = true;
	server.playerHandler.destruct();
	destruct();
        //mySock.close(); //Remove the comment if you want to add this. If it shows any errors, just comment it again.
	System.out.println("--------Account connection closed--------------");
}

================================================== ===============
Part 3: testing it
in client.java...

1. Find...

Code:

if (playerName == null || playerName.length() == 0) {

2. If it has anything inside it like a "disconnected = true" in it, and replace it all with this.
(it should look something like this)

Code:

if (playerName == null || playerName.length() == 0) 
{
close_connection();
return;
}

================================================== ===============

Other testing:
Just add this to codes that you use for "blocking syi accounts" or something.
This will work MUCH more effective. Instead of adding a disconnected = true code.
Like if you don't want spammers to log in, this method will help fully into it.
It gives the returncode on 2, then disconnects by the playerhandler and then the client then
it will inform you that the account is being blocked out.



I really hope this helps, and please let me know if it helps you.
