Solved How to get IP Address of Offline Player

Does anyone know how to get the IP address of an offline player using the essentials API? I looked in their source code, but I still can't get it to work.

 

That doesn't make any sense. They don't have an IP address if they aren't connected. Do you mean the last IP address they used to connect to your server? You would need to keep track of that.

 

Yes as Courier said you'd have to store it and then save it when the server shuts down.

Sorry, I should have been more clear. What I mean is this:
Essentials stores every players IP address in a file, so I was wondering how to call on those files with the Essentials API and get the IP listed in them.

 

Look at essentials API

 

The console usually says blah blah blah has connected with the ip of: (the ip)

 

This is not very helpful, did you read the title of the post?

"How to get IP Address of Offline Player"

 

oh... srry geez

 

Well your title is flawed since an offline player has no ip. If you want to get their last ip, simply store it onPlayerQuit toa file and then look it up, as others have said.

Well, my title might be flawed, but I clearly asked, "Does anyone know how to get the IP address of an offline player using the essentials API?". So basically I'm asking how to pull the IP out of the player data storage files that Essentials makes. (No use in duplicating work thats already done)

 

I would advise against it since it means people need Essentials to use your plugin.


Essentials.getOfflineUser().getLastLoginAddress();

Where Essentials is a reference to the essentials plugin.

 

Just make your own reader method.

 

CD3 Seriously, you gutta look at these dates. This thread is 9 months old, and it was solved. Why revive it?

 

Because I had something to contribute?

 

CD3 It was already solved..

 

Yes, But its still helping others. It's not a lot... but it may help someone.

Besides, its not like trying to help after it's done is a crime or anything.
