Save/Load Inventory's to YML

Hey guys,

I wonder if somebody could help me with this, basically i want to with a command open up a inventory which is loaded from a yml file, and auto save on close.

 

ItemStack implements ConfigurationSerializable, so you can just get and set them.

Code:java

getConfig().set("itemstack", new ItemStack(Material.STONE, 1));
ItemStack i = getConfig().getItemStack("itemstack");

 

*Inventory*

Yes but that link uses CB, mine uses Bukkit only.

 

I guess to could just use that and save to something like

Code:

Inventories:
  gomeow:
    1:
    2:
    Etc

 

since ItemStack can be serialized, just pass in/out arrays of itemstacks (inventory.getContents() / setContents())

 

Code:java

public void save(Player p) {
    ItemStack[] i = player.getInventory().getContents();
    int pos = 0;
    for (ItemStack stack : i) {
        getConfig().set(player.getName() + "." + pos + "." stack);
        pos++;
    }
}
 
public void load(Player p) {
    Set<String> sl = getConfig().getConfigurationSection(p.getName()).getKeys(false);
 
    for (String s : sl) {
        player.getInventory().setItem(Integer.parseInt(s), getConfig().getItemStack(p.getName() + "." + s));
    }
 
}

That might work, haven't tested it though. Post results please.

 

i would encode an serialize it with base32/64 or you might loose enchantements, lore, colors etc..

 

It should work fine after the ItemMeta update.

I also wrote a inventory serializer for configuration files.

Sorry to bump an old thread, but what is the point of

config.loadFromString(data);

in public static ItemStack[] loadInventory(String data) throws InvalidConfigurationException

 

It causes the configuration object to parse and load the content of the string as YAML. There's also a documentation for this method.
