Private message issue

[tpenn]

I am encountering problems sending private messages. I have attempted sending a PrivateMessageRequest in my Unity project, and also sending the message on the server (via SFSApi.sendPrivateMessage). This is code which was functional prior to updating to RC1, so I suspect a problem was introduced.

In both cases, the server complains of a null pointer exception at SFSApi.java:971.

Thanks for reporting. If it worked on b14 and not now in rc1, then it definitely sounds like a potential bug.

There was a fix to the b14 Unity API related to private messaging. So maybe, maybe not I didnt do my job well enough.

Will test later today myself and see

Was this resolved? I am getting the same bug when trying to sendPrivateMessage through the server API from my multihandler.

Working with AS3 client, Windows 7 64Bit.

Here is the server console trace:

All the parameters send to the getApi.sendPrivateMessage are valid so no reason for it to complain. This is a major issue for me since i need to send private messages through server extension since it checks chat sessions between users and add valid handshake and info data where needed.

UPDATE: Yes there is a fix we need to introduce but this issue is only caused when the Zone's WordFilter is set to filterMode == WHITE_LIST

You can either set it to BLACK_LIST or disable the WordFilter.

Hope it helps

Lapo thanks enabling the words filter and setting it to BLACK_LIST helped.

However your assumption is incorrect since i didn't have the filter enabled in the first place. So i rechecked, once the filter is disabled or set to WHITE_LIST the error happens. The only time it doesn't happen is once the filter is enabled and set to BLACK_LIST.

Indeed, I had the same problem and setting the zone filter to BLACKLIST seems to have solved it!

Take into account that this is fixed in RC1a, which probably you didn't install.
