Solved Set messages on custom.yml

Hi there!, so im trying to set messages as default in a custom.yml .
I did a ConfigManager class but in the moment to load , i have a null when i set the message like

Code:

messagesConfig.set("prefix", "&6[test]");

What is wrong?

 

Oh, right , its a NullPointerException.

and messagesConfig is...

Edit: Ok i saw my error hahahaha , thanks @timtower

 

@Ahrigumi If you want defaults in a file, you can include it in the jar and then use

Code:Java

Plugin.saveResource(String path, boolean replace)

That way you can just write the stuff in the file and it'll include it when you create it using that method.

 

Code:

public class ConfigManager {

    private OakwoodHorses plugin = OakwoodHorses.getPlugin(OakwoodHorses.class);

    public FileConfiguration mensajesConfig;
    public File mensajesFile;

    public void setup() {
        if (!plugin.getDataFolder().exists()) {
            plugin.getDataFolder().mkdir();
        }

        mensajesFile = new File(plugin.getDataFolder(), "messages.yml");

        if (!mensajesFile.exists()) {
            try {
                mensajesFile.createNewFile();
            } catch (IOException e) {
                Bukkit.getServer().getConsoleSender()
                        .sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "[OakwoodHorses] Could not create the messages.yml file");
            }
        }
       
        mensajesConfig = YamlConfiguration.loadConfiguration(mensajesFile);
       
        mensajesConfig.set("prefix", "&6[OakwoodHorses]");
        mensajesConfig.addDefault("config-reloaded", "&aThe config and the messages were reloaded!");
        mensajesConfig.addDefault("educated", "&aCongrats, you educated this horse! , to claim use /testtest");
        mensajesConfig.addDefault("tamed", "&bThis horse is tamed , use: &c /oh claim <name> &b to claim it!");
        mensajesConfig.addDefault("no-tamed", "&cThis horse is not tamed!");
        mensajesConfig.addDefault("no-horse", "&cYou cant use this command in this animal");
        mensajesConfig.addDefault("set-name", "&bYou claimed this horse with the name %name%");
        mensajesConfig.addDefault("new-owner", "The new owner of this horse is %player%");
        mensajesConfig.addDefault("feed-horse", "&byou fed your horse");
        mensajesConfig.addDefault("toggle-stats-on", "toggle on");
        mensajesConfig.addDefault("toggle-stats-off", "toggle off"); 
       
        Bukkit.getServer().getConsoleSender().sendMessage(ChatColor.GREEN + "[OakwoodHorses] messages.yml file has been created");
    }

}

 

@timtower Im not really sure about what do you mean with the constructor . I mean.. im initializing this class on my main class

 

@Ahrigumi Make a constructor for your ConfigManager class and call the setup method in it.

 

Im sorry, but i dont understand ,why i need to do a constructor in that class :/
