Global Chat (Bungeecord) not working AT ALL

[mfnalex]

Description of issue: Global chat via Bungeecord is not working at all. Players can always only see chat messages from their own server, not from others.

Cmi Version (using/cmi version): 9.1.0.0 BungeeCord CMIB SqLite

Server Type (Spigot/Paperspigot/etc): Spigot & Paper & Waterfall

Server Version (using /ver): 3344-Spigot-3c40a6c-4b5f988 and git-Paper-25 (both 1.18) connected through git:Waterfall-Bootstrap:1.18-R0.1-SNAPSHOT:ab927be:462

---

The only output CMI does at all on the proxy is the following:

[08:39:29 INFO]: Enabled plugin cmd_server version git:cmd_server:1.18-R0.1-SNAPSHOT:ab927be:462 by WaterfallMC
[08:39:29 INFO]: Enabled plugin cmd_alert version git:cmd_alert:1.18-R0.1-SNAPSHOT:ab927be:462 by WaterfallMC

[08:39:29 INFO]: Enabled plugin cmd_list version git:cmd_list:1.18-R0.1-SNAPSHOT:ab927be:462 by WaterfallMC

Players do have the cmi.bungee.publicmessages.[servername] permission. I also checked through LuckPerms (running on the proxy) whether CMI actually checks for that permission at all, but it doesn't: https://luckperms.net/verbose/RiKCHmt9vY

[mfnalex]

I forgot to mention: of course LuckPerms also runs on all servers and the permissions are synced

[mfnalex]

Just checked lp verbose again, CMI does appear in the server's log but not on the proxy and it doesn't check cmi.bungee... permissions at all:

Here's the LP verbose log again while writing a chat message: https://luckperms.net/verbose/JR5UXvTcYE (Bungee) https://luckperms.net/verbose/gIzklXpzIe (Lobby server)

[mrfloris]

Can you type: /cmi version and share the Full output? This will include if it sees bungee, which cmilib version etc.

[mfnalex]

Sure :)

I am not familiar with using waterfall vs bungee either, but i see it mention git:Waterfall - while perhaps support is focussed on bungee. So perhaps with bungee it will work but not with waterfall?

Does spigot work with waterfall at all?

Does the chat not work on Any server? typing on any of the three does not result in other servers showing it, or just one or two from the three?

I see cmi version reports back CMIB, implying it sees/connected bungee, so that's good. And CMILib thankfully is 1.1.0.0.

Thanks for all the info.

[mfnalex]

Waterfall is basically the same thing as Bungee, it's just paper's version of it, 100% compatible.

Unfortunately the global chat doesn't work on ANY server :/

[mfnalex]

I could of course try to use regular BungeeCord but I highly doubt that it's the problem, because as you already pointed out, CMI can see the Bungee connection :(

[mrfloris]

Thanks for that info.

I have more questions haha.

https://github.com/mrfdev/CMI/blob/master/Resources/FAQ/cmi-bungee.md

On here I have some commands and perms, i see you already mentioned perms. Can you give the output of these?

/cmi placeholders parse %cmi_user_bungeeserver%

/cmi serverlist

/cmi bbroadcast test (or just let me know that this also doesn't work)

Do the following commands also not work, or just public chat?

/cmi msg ..
/cmi staffmsg test

[mfnalex]

>cmi placeholders parse %cmi_user_bungeeserver%
[11:28:08] [Server thread/INFO]: --------------------------------------------------

The bbroadcast thing works.

About the placeholder thing: I'm not running PlaceholderAPI in case that's relevant.

The msg thing also worked. I didn't see the staffmsg but I also don't have any special permissions setup for staff.

Thanks for helping btw :)

[mrfloris]

Than you - good to see some stuff is working.

So fair question: Any other chat plugins installed, towny chat? venturechat? chat control plus/red, deluxechat? Some lobby-chat or something that manipulates the chat and could cause conflict?

I understand this is a fresh install, perhaps stop the server, clone it, and put it on a different port. And remove the other plugins except stuff like vault, cmi, cmilib, and see if bungee chat starts working? Maybe that can cut it down by 50% (that some other plugin causes it) if so, then put back 50% of the plugins and start up again.. repeat until you find a plugin that might cause it.

[mfnalex]

I do not have any other chat plugins. Actually, I basically have no plugins installed yet besides WorldEdit and a portal plugin yet:

[11:35:39] [Server thread/INFO]: Plugins (5): LuckPerms, WorldEdit, SimplePortals, CMILib, CMI

Also btw: the serverlist command works ingame, but not from console:

[mfnalex]

Oh and further information: on BungeeCord I only have LuckPerms-Bungee and CMIB installed.

[mrfloris]

yeah CMIB on proxy, cmi/cmilib on all the servers. That should do the trick.

Okay, enough info, very strange ! I dont know more to help at this point, i've linked it to zrips, hopefully he has time (i mean, it is the weekend and he was busy wtih 1.18 the last few days).. so hopefully he can reply with something i completely forgot about.

[mfnalex]

I just noticed: it works fine when ALL servers defined in bungee's config.yml are running. However, I of course want to be able to shutdown / restart certain servers on the network without the chat breaking for all other servers.

[mfnalex]

I'm sorry. The information I gave above is wrong. I also disabled TAB when I removed skyblock from the bungee config. It's indeed related to the TAB plugin. Whenever it runs, the global chat does not work. The TAB author told me that it does not affect chat in anyway and to go ask at CMI's support again... :/

Again, wrong. CMI's chat isn't working whenever there's at least one server in the bungee config that is not online, so my actual statement above seems to be true. It's really weird.

[mfnalex]

I still don't get it to work.

Chat is still per-server :'( my config is still as mentioned above

[notbike]

Hi, i'm having the same problem, anyone finds a way to fix the problem? Or do we have to wait for Zrips?

[mfnalex]

It has been 13 months since I opened this issue. Other people confirmed this. Is it expected too much to at least get a reply from @Zrips ?

[mrfloris]

Sorry to read on discord today that you after a year still have this issue. Very odd.

If CMI Bungee is the latest jar and on the proxy, and the cmi / cmilibs are on all the network servers and configured for cmi chat and cmi chat + bungee .. and after a stop and start of it all, it should work fine.

I guess something might be in the way then.. so please share another /ver and /cmi version - full output, and include the config.yml and your full output of /pl so we know what plugins might run.

Please do check your latest.log on the proxy if it has one, and the servers, to see if there's any cmi/ cmilib, cmibungee reported issues during startup.

What bungeecord are you using, is there a way to tell us which one you build or got from spigotmc ? (not asking for the word 'latest'.

@Zrips I have a video offline too, but the link is here: https://discord.com/channels/452792793631555594/526402563847880725/1060677232592433163 in cmi #help channel.

[mfnalex]

Here's the updatest version infos: So latest CMIB and CMI as of today. CMI+CMILib runs on all backend servers, CMIB is running on the bungee.

All backend servers use this /ver:

Neither the proxy, nor any backend servers have any errors in their log.

Bungeecord doesn't have any /version command, but since I downloaded it today, it should be the latest version, build 1675 ( https://ci.md-5.net/job/BungeeCord/ )

[mrfloris]

Thank you for the up to date and additional info, I've given zrips a little poke and I hope he has time before the weekend to have another look at this. Feel free to DM him the /PL and link to this ticket, if you rather not share the plugin list on github.

[mfnalex]

Thanks! Here's by the way my CMI config.yml, it's the same on all servers: https://paste.jeff-media.com/?1373ad19edc0a92c#6i1ZHM11KfFEMgRDqL61M8hAPsZGE6sWeThqxGs9meAP

On the test network I only have two servers, here's their /plugins:

Here's a Luckperms verbose log while I was sending a message. Backend: https://luckperms.net/verbose/kNToGCAsfQ Bungee: https://luckperms.net/verbose/JXF1hCpvLW

works for me, gave default group cmi.bungee.publicmessage.lobby/survival permission on both servers vice versa and works//

That's good for you but doesn't help me at all.

[R3voolt]

same problems i have as above, cant get chat working over network, weird is that private msgs works fine
staff chat works fine, broadcaast works fine and private messages works fine, the only problem i have is with the public chat

Weird. For me, private messages do work across servers, but /broadcast does not.

EDIT: I didnt know that difference between /cmi broadcast and /cmi bbroadcast. Indeed, bbroadcast works for me too. It's only the "normal" chat that doesn't work at all.

[R3voolt]

mfnalex found my problem permissions on my side was wrong. was using cmi.bungee.publicmessage.server insteaad of cmi.bungee.publicmessageS.server

[mrfloris]

mfnalex found my problem permissions on my side was wrong. was using cmi.bungee.publicmessage.server insteaad of cmi.bungee.publicmessageS.server

Can you show me the url where it is mentioned wrong? I can not find it

[R3voolt]

was wrong on my side, no url...

[mfnalex]

I have setup the permissions correctly though.

The LuckPerms verbose logs also show that CMI doesn't even try to check the respective cmi.bungee.publicmessages.[server] permissions:

Backend: https://luckperms.net/verbose/kNToGCAsfQ Bungee: https://luckperms.net/verbose/JXF1hCpvLW

[mfnalex]

It looks like the issue is CMI looping over Player#getEffectivePermissions(), instead of just querying Player#hasPermission("cmi.bungee.publicmessages.{servername}"). Took me over a year to find this out and had to decompile CMI to learn about this. It would have been nice if I'd gotten an answer from Zrips, after all it's been almost 14 months now.

It would be nice if this could get fixed somehow, because tbh not supporting LuckPerm's * permissions is not something an admin would expect.
