Plugin causes Floodgate Player to not be able to join

[Juli0q]

Server Version: git-Paper-378 (MC: 1.20.4)
Plugin Version: 1.2.0
PacketEvent Version: 2.2.1

Hi, I am using the plugin on a server network with Geyser installed on Velocity and Floodgate on Velocity and Paper. But even if I don't set any nicknames Floodgate players and every other player on the server get kicked with the following error:

Console Error

``` [13:49:06 INFO]: UUID of player FloogatePlayer is 00000000-0000-0000-0009-01fb63b78fa4 [13:49:06 INFO]: [floodgate] Floodgate player logged in as FloogatePlayer joined (UUID: 00000000-0000-0000-0009-01fb63b78fa4) [13:49:07 INFO]: FloogatePlayer[/192.168.5.142:54742] logged in with entity id 71 at ([world]256.94864, 66.0, 277.84283) [13:49:07 INFO]: [floodgate] Floodgate player logged in as FloogatePlayer disconnected [13:49:07 INFO]: JavaPlayer lost connection: Internal Exception: io.netty.handler.codec.EncoderException: java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "String.length()" because "msg" is null [13:49:07 INFO]: JavaPlayer left the game [13:49:07 INFO]: FloogatePlayer lost connection: Internal Exception: io.netty.handler.codec.EncoderException: java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "String.length()" because "msg" is null [13:49:07 INFO]: FloogatePlayer left the game ```

Debugging steps: The error does not stem from Floodgate players having a "." in front of their name. I've disabled that feature. I've tried deleting Via plugins (ViaVersion, ViaRewind, ViaBackwards) from the Paper server

that's going to suck to debug, since that error message isn't giving much information, so it's only when a bedrock player joins?

it's currently untested on geyser and i didn't expect it to work on it, I'll try and figure it out this afternoon if I have the same error.

what's your plugin list?

[jordoncodes]

Done some testing on my end and yes it seems to be an incompatibility between nicknamer api and floodgate, only issue is I have no clue what 'msg' variable would be null specifically for floodgate players - this is gonna be a difficult one.

Simply disabling UUID spoofing for bedrock players doesn't seem to work

I have spoken too soon - it was a relatively easy fix. The skin was null which the client doesn't like

Yes that is true, that issue sucks a lot to debug. I will try to help on my part. Thank you that you already started to debug this issue even tough it is that outlandish.

My Plugin list is: DecentHolograms, OldCombatMechanics, LuckPerms, ViaVersion, ViaRewind, ViaBackwards and 5 custom Plugins.

I'm gonna just do some cleanup and make it work on older server versions (if geyser supports that) and push the update

Great, thats awesome. Thanks a lot for your help

[jordoncodes]

I have just tested, nicknaming works on bedrock players - it even sets their skin clientside!

[Juli0q]

Thats great! Then Geyser/Floodgate can be put on the compatibility list of this Library 😄
