Solved MCPC+ and Multicraft Console

[UnionCraft]

I've installed Mindcrack 8.1.1 and MCPC+ and run the server on my machine as a pre-test server for our planned upgrade on our live server (hosted and using Multicraft).

However, when I'm using just Mindcrack I can issue commands fine from the multicraft console, but if I replace the ftbserver.jar with the MCPC+ jar (renamed) suddenly the console will not relay commands to the server.
(I've also tested this with MindCrack 8.2.0 with the same results)

I was wondering if anyone had experienced this and if there was a solution?

You need to change the custom jar to ForgeMod. MCPC+ is not the same as vanilla server.

Thats a McMyAdmin thing, nothing to do with Multicraft console panel.

However, on a related note, testing this with McMyAdmin works fine, but our hosting company uses Multicraft so the issue remains. With MCPC+ installed console commands do not work.

This is on my local machine however, I have no idea if this will affect my hosts multicraft (which is why I was wondering if anyone else had this issue)

No, there is not "Custom jar" option in my McMyAdmin. In McMyadmin the option is named "Server type".

I meant "Server JAR" option of multicraft, I never tested myself, but I can see the option here: http://www.multicraft.org/images/docs/ServerMain.png and here: http://www.multicraft.org/site/page?view=usage#9.

Maybe the last link can help you better than me.

I think your misreading my issue.

The server runs and works fine, I understand how to use custom jars (aka renaming them and/or specifying the name of the jar) and the such. My issue is directly related to Multicrafts console and the inability to issue commands (such as /op /say etc) when MCPC+ is installed.

Hi again.

I suposse you know how to rename jars, but I think you are not looking the links provided:

Craftbukkit JARs and other mods require different settings as their console output differs from the one of vanilla Minecraft. Also, just placing the JAR file in there will not make it appear in the JAR selection in your server settings so users can't select it.

This is where the ".jar.conf" files come in to play. These files are used to determine the JAR file selection in the server settings and they are also capable of completely reconfiguring the output that Multicraft expects from the server.

I think this explains "the inability to issue commands (such as /op /say etc) when MCPC+ is installed".

I don't know if you can install the necessary files for have it working, maybe you need to contact your hosting support for install that file.

I hope this helps.

We actually have an input to tell multicraft what the name of the jar file is called, there is also no ForgeMod jar selection in the drop down however as you pointed out this is no doubt related directly the jar.conf files within multicrafts jar folder.

Selecting Craftbukkit in the drop down and then entering the jars file name will just return the jar selection drop down back to Default, again I expect the jar.conf file will probably need changing to allow this change.
I've no idea if this solution will work but its worth a shot if other are having the issue and want to remain on multicraft, we however will be changing our control panel to McMyAdmin.

Edit: I did change this on my own machine, copied the craftbukkit.jar.conf and renamed it to ftbserver.jar.conf, I then went into the file, changed the top entry from Craftbukkit to ftbserver, then selected that in the drop down within multicraft server page and it worked!

Thanks Jovino
