Solved Adding Lines to Configuration file

Hello all,

I am currently writing a plugin that has an economy aspect. The main goal of the plugin is to give players "tokens" when they kill a mob and such. But because I do not know who the players are before they join the server, I need to update the config once they join. So I am unsure as to how I would add a full line with a key and value once the configuration has been created. I currently have this, which doesn't work. I was wondering if there was any way to go about this or if I needed to create a custom config per person.

Code:java

        Player player = event.getPlayer();
        event.getPlayer().sendMessage(player.getUniqueId().toString());
 
        if(plugin.getConfig().contains(player.getUniqueId().toString())){
            plugin.getConfig().addDefault(player.getUniqueId().toString(), 15);
            plugin.saveConfig();
            plugin.getConfig().options().copyDefaults(true);
        }
    }

Thank you all in advanced!

You do not want to store player-related data in the main config - some servers have many, many players, and having to edit a 10k line config while new players join the server is no fun.

Create a different file for each player instead:

_LB Okay thanks. Thought I might have to do that but I wasn't sure. Thanks for your help.

After trying to make separate configs I made this in my main class:

Code:java

package us.legioncraft.tokens;
 
import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.io.Reader;
import java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException;
import java.util.UUID;
import java.util.logging.Level;
 
import org.bukkit.configuration.file.FileConfiguration;
import org.bukkit.configuration.file.YamlConfiguration;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;
 
/**
*
* @author TheMindWreck
* @version 1.0
*
*/
 
public class TokensAPI extends JavaPlugin{
    private FileConfiguration customConfig = null;
    private File customConfigFile = null;
 
    /**
    * Standard plugin startup method
    * Loads config. Do not touch. Do it in your own code by using the plugin variable.
    */
    public void onEnable(){
        new Token(this);
        new TokenPlayer(this);
    }
 
    public void reloadCustomConfig(UUID uuid) {
        if (customConfigFile == null) {
            customConfigFile = new File(getDataFolder(), uuid.toString() + ".yml");
        }
        customConfig = YamlConfiguration.loadConfiguration(customConfigFile);
 
        // Look for defaults in the jar
        Reader defConfigStream;
        try {
            defConfigStream = new InputStreamReader(this.getResource(uuid.toString() + ".yml"), "UTF8");
            if (defConfigStream != null) {
                YamlConfiguration defConfig = YamlConfiguration.loadConfiguration(defConfigStream);
                customConfig.setDefaults(defConfig);
            }
        } catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
 
    public FileConfiguration getCustomConfig(UUID uuid) {
        if (customConfig == null) {
            reloadCustomConfig(uuid);
        }
        return customConfig;
    }
 
    public void saveCustomConfig(UUID uuid) {
        if (customConfig == null || customConfigFile == null) {
            return;
        }
        try {
            getCustomConfig(uuid).save(customConfigFile);
        } catch (IOException ex) {
            getLogger().log(Level.SEVERE, "Could not save config to " + customConfigFile, ex);
        }
    }
 
    public void saveDefaultConfig(UUID uuid) {
        if (customConfigFile == null) {
            customConfigFile = new File(getDataFolder(), uuid.toString() + ".yml");
        }
        if (!customConfigFile.exists()) {           
            saveResource(uuid.toString() + ".yml", false);
        }
    }
 
}
 

But there is something with line 44 or the line:

Code:java

            defConfigStream = new InputStreamReader(this.getResource(uuid.toString() + ".yml"), "UTF8");

The error in the plugin was this : http://pastebin.com/RPKS9Lwf

If anyone can help me that would be great that would be fantastic.

Thanks in advanced,
