Solved Color codes in plugin.yml

Is it possible to use color codes in the plugin.yml?
For example for the permission-message.

Code:

permission-message: &CYou do not have permission...

Because when I use it, it won't change the color to red. It keeps white.
So I wanted to know if it is possible to use colors in the plugin.yml.

 

use '§' instead of '&'

 

Just use the simple

Code:

ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', String);

 

You can do what zRations says. It works perfectly fine and is shorter.
However, if you'd like to add custom codes, you can also do this:

Code:java

public String colorize(String msg){
    String newMsg = msg.replaceAll("&0", ChatColor.BLACK);
    newMsg = newMsg.replaceAll("&1", ChatColor.DARK_BLUE);
    newMsg = newMsg.replaceAll("&newline", "\n");
    .
    .
    .
    return newMsg;
}

 

But you have to write this in the config:

Code:

permission-message: '&CYou do not have permission...'

You have to mark this as a string with '', otherwise the plugin will throw an error, because a value can't start with an "&".

 

Throws error (not allowed to use).

So it is not possible to set the color in the plugin.yml itself?
Thanks for your replies!

 

Not without doing what I or zeeveener said.

 

Ok, thanks.

 

Here is what i use when im going to use any type of colors in any .yml

Code:

static String replaceColors(String message) {
 
return ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', message);
 
 }

Then when your sending the player a message do

Code:

String MSG = replaceColors(this.getconfig().getstring(path, string));
 
player.sendmessage(MSG);
