getPrimaryGroup

[cpybus]

Afternoon,

I seem to be having some trouble using any method in Vault that returns the group(s) that a player is in. I am not using (and have never used) the depreciated methods. I am only getting null responses from getPrimaryGroup(Player) and getPrimaryGroup(world, offlineplayer), and an empty array from getPlayerGroups(player)

I am running PermissionBukkit version 2.3 and Vault version 1.4.1-b436

I believe this problem is originating somewhere in the connection between permsBukkit and Vault, probably has something to do with the UUID system.

Thank you
Chris

this is a bug in PermsBukkit, none of the API was changed in 2.3 and everything seems the same. The author shold be keeping compatibility to old versions, if he doesn't there isn't much I can patch in until a working UUID based system is available.

It Appears @SpaceManiac has chosen to convert all backend to UUID storage giving absolutely no possibility of backwards compatibility. This basically means if you convert, nothing will work with vault until ALL plugins you use utilize offlineplayer methods AND Vault is able to patch in the UUID changes (not able to yet as no release available).

Basically, someone did a conversion without thinking about the ramifications. I suggest you look for a better Permission plugin that wont do this.

Thank you Sleaker for the quick reply. It looks like we might have to go out and look for another perms plugin. Thanks.

@hotshot2162 the other option is @SpaceManiac patches the methods so they work again.
