    I have 3 minecraft users, one with a 16 character username. Whenever this user dies the server crashes.

    Stock standard notch SMP server - no problems 1.5_02.

    Running with craftbukkit 711 (and previous versions that work with MC1.5) all have issues when this user dies.

    During respawn into the world, the long name user crashes with...

    java io exception Received string length longer than maximum allowed (16 > 15)

    Causes all users to disconnect and server to crash.

    Need to restart server before everything is ok and this user dies again. Unfortunately Minecraft does not allow user changes.

    Is this a possible craftbukkit issue as the stock server runs fine?

    I tried without any plugins and it still fails..

    ok what u can do is if you haver permisions it would be best if you dont its still fine,
    what u do is download a name changer, and tell him to change his name, so when he dies instead of 16char is can be like 1-10 or something

    Is this a plugin or a real username changer for Minecraft.net?

    Tried this name changer plugin but still no go, same issue.

    Did some more troubleshooting and found that I didn't have all plugins off during testing. Looks like a vanilla craftbukkit has no apparent name length issues.

    Tombstone was still running in my server startup which must have some issues with new craftbukkit / 1.5.


    Thanks for your quick response anyway it was appreciated.

    Can recreate the problem without fail running just 1 x plugin Tombstone v1.2.5, once disabled issue goes away.

    I'll see if I can post some more diags in the tombstone thread but I guess I will need to wait till Tombstone is updated to a 1.5 recommended build.

    Some of my users are also receiving this error, but they all have shorter names (10 or less). However I don't' receive the error on the console, they receive the client side error however. I have a feeling it's my plugins more than Bukkit as you said. When I find the culprit I'll let you know. What plugins are you using so we can compare?

    Essentials Suite
    WorldGuard
    WorldEdit
    HeroBounty
    HeroicDeath
    MinecartMania Suite (minus, automation and autocart)
    Lottery
    LocalShops
    SimpleAutoReply
    ecoCreature


    Edit: Dur shouldn't ask for list I don't give too. (list added, typos fixed)

    Tombstone was probably setting a sign's text to longer than 15 characters per line. Since Minecraft 1.5, there are now added limits to certain things, like how long text can be on a sign. If it goes past this, your client will disconnect you and throw an exception.

    We've fixed this, for now, by cutting off any text past 15 characters and this fix was added in build #712. If you don't mind seeing if this has fixed your issue and letting me know, that would be awesome.

    I posted my issue in the tombstone thread earlier this afternoon after it was tombstone related and the developer fixed it quite quickly in Tombstone version 1.2.6 (was running 1.2.5). Not sure what they did but it fixed the problem. http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/mi...ans-chest-plugin-for-bukkit-b711.3923/page-12


    But by the sound of things RonnSama is also having issues.

    I am now running the following plugins without issue on MC Server 1.5_02 craftbukkit 711

    Achievements.jar
    Announcer.jar
    BetterShop.jar
    BigBrother.jar
    chatbukkit.jar
    DataLog.jar
    ecoCreature.jar
    EggRenade.jar
    iConomy.jar
    Lockette.jar
    LoginMessage.jar
    Minequery.jar
    npcx.jar
    Permissions.jar
    scrapbukkit.jar
    SpawnMob.jar
    Stats.jar
    Tombstone.jar
    TravelPortals.jar
    Turnstile.jar
    WolfPound.jar

    I'll run a quick test for you and go back to the bad tombstone release and update to bukkit 712 and report back.


    For the test: Reverted back to Tombstone 1.2.5 and Bukkit 711. Recreated problem several times, updated to Bukkit 712 and the issue could not be recreated, so yes it appears fixed from a bukkit perspective (712).

    Thank you for the excellent support, it is appreciated greatly.
