Differentiate between logout and crash?

How would I go about differentiating between whether a player logs out of the server, or has disconnected abnormally (i.e crashing). I think it has something to do with seeing if an end of stream exception is thrown, but I don't know how I would put that into code. Any help would be appreciated.

 

I don't think Bukkit has any way to get the reason for disconnect. If you're using Spout (just the plugin) you could check if they sent an 0xFF (Disconnect) packet first, indicating they intentionally disconnected.

 

How?

 

I'm not entirely sure, I've never used the packet manager (or most Spout features), although I know you can watch for and control incoming and outgoing packets. (See the plugin VanishNoPacket, it blocks packets via Spout) Although the vanilla client knows it, and bukkit knows internally, the best way to go would be to add this to Bukkit. I'll look into writing the code for it and submitting a pull-request later.

 

tj3 is so helpful haha, theres a plugin already like this called DCreason, http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/ge...h-crashing-from-quitting-1-0-1-r1-1597.23786/. Maybe ask the author to release his source if he hasn't already.
