Debugging code requiring multiple players

Hey guys,

I was just wondering what you do about debugging code that cannot be tested with a single, local player but instead requires two or more in order to properly test. You see, I DO have friends, but I don't wanna bore them as I fix any bugs in my code.

So, ideas?

 

I usually host the server locally in offline-mode and load up MC with a legit user and then load up MC again with play offline mode. Then i connect both to localhost and do what needs to be done...

PS. They both get it on

create a different way (activate the code that way), or just make it run for less players? Depending on what it is its hard to say lol

 

Goblom How do you propose I start up in offline mode in one client?

 

what?
you set the server to offline mode, then you load up multiple clients to connect

You can disconnect from your Internet, then it will allow you to launch in offline mode.

 

I'm interested in knowing what other people do. I recently had to debug a plugin using 7 accounts and it wasn't fun..

Yeah, there's not really a better way to do it unless you have some patient friends.

 

Or multiple accounts

:>

 

Just use offline mode

 

Multiple accounts, awesome and patient friends, or localhost with offline mode. If you do the latter then make sure that you reproduce any bugs you have in onlinemode if you seek help from the Bukkit community
