Issue for connecting the addon on Pterodactyl panel

[MaitreFranck]

Describe the bug
Hello, i tried many configuration with pterodactyl to make this addon work, i've ports opened on both proxy and spigot but it didn't want to connect. I tried all IP, 127.0.0.1, 0.0.0.0, 172.18.0.1 and the IP of my VPS.

Has you advises on how you can connect ?

I'm on bungeecord/waterfall and paper, tried with latest (0.8.0)

I can send you screenshots of differents configurations if you need.

[Zulfen]

Could you turn on debug mode on the Spigot, send me the output and also your plugin config for both the Bungeecord and Spigot?

I have had issues with Pterodactyl in the past, so hopefully I can find out what causes this!
If you can connect to your Spigot servers just fine ingame, it might just be a case of changing your firewall rules so the plugin can use the ports.

[Zulfen]

Just wanna check - guessing you are running Pterodactyl yourself and know how to configure it?

[MaitreFranck]

Yes i installed it myself on my vps, i have full access on it.

Spigot :

Also got this on another try :

Currently i don't have any firewall turned on iirc.

Do you mind showing me your Pterodactyl allocations?
https://pterodactyl.io/community/games/minecraft.html

I think that might have something to do with it.

[Zulfen]

Depending what distro you use, also make sure your firewall is configured using the guide I linked just in case a firewall is automatically in place :)

[Zulfen]

If you use ufw, try this:
ufw allow in on pterodactyl0 to 172.18.0.1 port 25500 proto tcp
ufw allow in on pterodactyl0 to 172.18.0.1 port 25570 proto tcp

With these commands you should be able to keep your ZulfBungee config the same and have it work, but let me know if it doesn't.

[Zulfen]

If you need further help with this, I could do a Discord call to help you configure if it still doesnt work.

[MaitreFranck]

I dont have ufw on my vps, but iptables with this settings : https://pastebin.com/pesQ5x1p

Concerning this : https://pterodactyl.io/community/games/minecraft.html it's what i followed, so my allocations looks like that :

And on the spigot :

[MaitreFranck]

On bungee config.yml, i have my spigot setuped this way :

[Zulfen]

On your spigot server's server.properties, what do you have as the address in there? Just wanna get an idea of what goes where basically.

[MaitreFranck]

On spigot server's server.properties, it is set to 0.0.0.0, and server port is the primary in allocations tab so 25566.

[Zulfen]

Can you try these configs?
bungee_config.txt
spigot_config.txt

[MaitreFranck]

These ones print me this on the spigot :

[Zulfen]

That's really odd... my only suggestion at this point is to try different combinations.
0.0.0.0 always used to work with Pterodactyl for me, but I believe those ports were open to the Internet, so not sure.

[Zulfen]

I might try and set up a Pterodactyl instance myself and see if I can get it working

[MaitreFranck]

Okay so with your Spigot config file, I tried to replace server-host with 172.18.0.1, and it lead me to that :

Spigot side :

Bungeecord side :

[Zulfen]

Awesome! This means that it appears that at least they can talk to eachother.

Is your Bungeecord server still defined like this with the same address? If it is, just disable port whitelisting and the plugin should work!

[MaitreFranck]

On bungeecord's config.yml, it's like this :

[MaitreFranck]

But the port whitelisting is already disabled :

[Zulfen]

On bungeecord's config.yml, it's like this :

Try replacing 0.0.0.0 with 172.18.0.1

[MaitreFranck]

Well I can't replace this line, every time i start the bungee, it's automaticly replaced with 0.0.0.0 (probably due to the way that ptero/docker works).

[Zulfen]

Oh okay. I'm gonna release an update soon which hopefully allows Pterodactyl to work, thanks for providing info :)

[MaitreFranck]

Okay, I'm gonna wait it with impatience, I hope it will work. If not, I will probably have to think about removing pterodactyl panel I guess

[Zulfen]

Hi! Have just released an experimental build which might fix the issue.
https://github.com/Zulfen/ZulfBungee/releases/download/v0.8.2-TEST/ZulfBungee.jar
Tell me if it works!

[MaitreFranck]

Seems good, but the port whitelist doesn't works if turned on. On proxy i got this :

https://pastebin.com/4hVYt4uk

[MaitreFranck]

And the test.sk skript seems to not really work :

[Zulfen]

I'm just gonna remove the security system I think - it's been causing loads of problems and I only understand now that it's not needed. Will release a new update very soon to hopefully fix it

[Zulfen]

I'm hoping this works - done a couple of fixes:
https://github.com/Zulfen/ZulfBungee/releases/download/v0.8.2-TEST/ZulfBungee.jar

[MaitreFranck]

Everything seems good, thanks alot !
I only noticed one thing :

Idk if this line doesn't works or not, but I tried to add that but doesn't change alot of thing :

[MaitreFranck]

One more thing, has you tested your addon on a network with dozens of peoples ? Or is there a limit where it can start to be a little lagguy ?

[MaitreFranck]

I also maybe have a little improvement for global scripts, its a really good feature, but it can be nice to send them into a folder in Skript/scripts like we can have our scripts on each server on Skript/scripts/ZulfBungee/* and our skripts we only want in a specific server on Skript/scripts/*

Idk if you wanted me to add this on a new issue or not, so let me know :)

[MaitreFranck]

And one little little more thing, it seems that it sometimes "connect" 2 times the server, so that means it reload 2 times all the scripts :

It could lead to 2x more time to reload all the global scripts (this is a bug i guess).

[Zulfen]

Thanks for the suggestion, glad to hear everything is working! :D

Everything seems good, thanks alot ! I only noticed one thing : Idk if this line doesn't works or not, but I tried to add that but doesn't change alot of thing :

It should be event-text instead of event-string. My bad - think I put the wrong thing on SkriptHub!

Not really sure performance wise - I know network variables can get a little slow, but planning on adding some new syntax to get around a limitation.

Good suggestion, will definitely consider this!
