PROBLEM WITH ESSENTIALS PLUGIN [HELP ASAP]

I am having a major problem with my Bukkit Server! The essentials plugin allows the console to change the default kits. I change it. Restart my server. The file I created modifing the kits doesen't change to config. it adds a file called config.broken.yml with a hole heap of numbers (As circled in the image) Please help me. I need that file to become the config used on the server!

If anyone is nice enough I could post the hole config I made. Then someone who has the solution, could fix the config and post it back to me in this thread. I also have some commands I don't want 'unopped' players to use.

 

config.broken, means that something in your Essentials config broke, it's most likely an extra space somewhere or an added letter, if you post your config, that'd be great.

 

Paste config on www.pastebin.com

Here the config on pastebin: http://pastebin.com/CytcJEP6

 

OliieMate

found this:

Code:

      - 397:3 1 player: OliieMate

removed the space before "OliieMate"
or replace with:

Code:

      - 397:3 1 player:OliieMate

and try again

 

It didn't work.. It created a broken yml.. (AGAIN). Did I explain whenever I want to add a new kit item I press enter and add the dash (-) but it turns red. Does that affect it? I 'reloaded' the server. It created the default config you first get with essentials. (Lucky I have a backup) !

The only thing I need to get pass for essentials is changing the kit items and names. Then i'm good! If you're extremely nice enough you could challenge yourself and try to find some more errors (preferably located in the KITS section) and tell me the solution like what GerCraft fortunately did for me (Thanks Bro.)

I currently have a modified essentials config, I changed everything to my preferences besides the KITS. Whenever I change the default kit names or items (Delay is fine) it creates a broken.yml file under the config. (When I restart the server it creates the broken file then puts the default config in it.

Like a said above, luckily I made a backup or else I would have had to make all the changes again. I need help I am desperate to get over the essentials plugin and get working on other useful plugins.(I have complete 'Factions', 'Multiverse-Core' & 'Multiverse-Portals'). I guess you really don't care, L0L.

This link here: http://pastebin.com/CytcJEP6 should take you to where I uploaded my Essentials config. There you should be able to locate some errors! If you do find a errors, again find a solution and post it on this thread!

Thanks Guys,

OliieMate
I just used your config on my server without problems.
I only removed "To recap, I want to change my kit names and items. It turns red and creates a broken yml file." from line 1

 

OliieMate In the config, way past the kits section is another section for newbie players. You have the kit to give to new players set as tools, but you don't have a kit tools anymore. Change it so it says noob down there (I'm assuming that is the starter kit you wanted newbies to get). This is on line 688.

 

Good Thinking! But it still creates a broken.yml and resets the config to the default one you first receive!

WHAT THE FUUUUUUUUUUC! Do you use an apple computer. (I have a windows 8, so maybe the config coding stuff is different compared to mine and it works for you.)

This is the updated version of my broken config. (Basically all the changes people told me to add and remove)
If you take a look at the kits now, the added slots for items are to the left side. That is because when I put the dash (-) and items ID's and number of items I want, it DOES NOT turn red. (I believe the red means an error or invalid) If you believe I am wrong just reply to this. (I tried it in-line with the other items. Didn't work). Again, if you spot anything you believe is incorrect please post the problem and (if you know it) a solution will be great.

http://gyazo.com/06064aab7f0ff46ceee90a8f6fc16b06 Backspace it to the previous line, then press enter again, it needs to be lined up with the item IDS above it.

 

OliieMate It could be turning red if you're using tab to indent instead of spaces; tab breaks these types of files. Whatever the case, MrGhetto is right; you need your items to be all lined up or it won't work anyway.

 

I press enter, type the dash, itemID and amount but it still turns red (e.g - 264 5)

 

Please read http://wiki.ess3.net/wiki/YAML_Tutorial on how to convert tabs to spaces and then indent the kit items properly.

 

OliieMate You probably have an auto-tab feature turned on. Try backspacing to the start of the line after you hit enter and then spacebar it back to where the indent should be so you can add your dash and all that. It shouldn't turn red if you've gotten all the tabbed spaces out of there.

 

Run the config through http://yaml-online-parser.appspot.com/ to find any formatting errors. The most common problem people have is that they use tabs instead of spaces in their YML files. Hope I helped.

 

The link: http://wiki.ess3.net/wiki/YAML_Tutorial says go to your Settings>Preferences. I don't know what settings to modify. I'll attach an image of it so you guys can decide what I need to do.
Thanks

 

On left you have different settings.

Go to 'Tab Setting' and then tick 'Replace by space' (make sure it's 4)

It didn't have the tick for 'replace by space' (I'll test my config now) Hope it works!
