Alternative Player Join events

[Condo2k4]

Hi Guys, I'm new to creating minecraft mods with Forge and to these forums. I've been working on a mod and needed a way to know when the player is joining the server and if this was their first time on the server. I couldn't find a way to do this with the FML player joining hooks, so I wrote my own events. Should I put the code up here or is their some formal method I missed?

 

Description

• Adds three event classes (PlayerJoinEvent with is extended by PlayerJoiningEvent and PlayerJoinedEvent) and modifies the NetLoginHandler to fire PlayerJoiningEvent and PlayerJoinedEvent events.
  
• The PlayerJoiningEvent occurs just before the player connects and gain their entity. It is cancelable allowing mods to deny particular players if they so choose before they fully connect to the server.
  
• The PlayerJoiningEvent fires after they join once they have their associated EntityPlayer (which you can access).
  
• As mentioned earlier, both have a boolean flag that it true if they are returning and false if this is their first time on the server.

Or you could check a players nbt tag when they join and if the have a certin tag the don't do something, and if they don't have the tag then do something and write the tag to the player

I didn't realise the nbt tags could be customised, though it does make sense.

That is actually a lot simpler. Well back to the drawing board.

 

Thanks.
