Solved Config problems...

So, I am trying to make a minigame myself, and it involves serializing and deserializing to and from a config. The problem is, that I can't get the deserializing work. Could anyone explain to me what the best way to tackle it would be?
For the serializing, I use this code:

serializing to the config (open) serializing to the config (close)

Code:java

public void saveArenas(CC config, ArrayList<Arena> arenas){
CustomConfig c = new CustomConfig(plugin);
for (Arena a: arenas){
if (!c.getCustomConfig(config).contains("arenas")){
c.getCustomConfig(config).addDefault("'arenas'", null);
}
if (!c.getCustomConfig(config).getStringList("arenas").contains(a.getName())){
System.out.println("creating a new arena!");
FileConfiguration cfg = c.getCustomConfig(config);
cfg.addDefault("arenas."+ a.getName() +".corner1", LocationToString(a.getCorner1()));
cfg.addDefault("arenas." + a.getName() + ".corner2", LocationToString(a.getCorner2()));
cfg.addDefault("arenas." + a.getName() + ".lobbyCorner1", LocationToString(a.getLobbyCorner1()));
cfg.addDefault("arenas." + a.getName() + ".lobbyCorner2", LocationToString(a.getLobbyCorner2()));
int count1 = 0;
for (Location loc: a.getTeam1Spawns()){
count1 = count1 + 1;
cfg.addDefault("arenas." + a.getName() + ".spawns1." + count1, LocationToString(loc));
}
int count =0;
for (Location loc: a.getTeam2Spawns()){
count = count + 1;
cfg.addDefault("arenas." + a.getName() + ".spawns2." + count, LocationToString(loc));
}
cfg.options().copyDefaults(true);
c.saveCustomConfig(config);
return;
}
System.out.println("this arena already exists!");
}
c.saveCustomConfig(config);
}

and for the deserializing this is what I have so far:

deserializing from the config (open) deserializing from the config (close)

Code:java

public void getArenasFromConfig(ArrayList<Arena> listToSaveArenasTo){
CustomConfig c = new CustomConfig(plugin);
FileConfiguration cfg = c.getCustomConfig(new CC("arenas"));
int size = 0;
System.out.println(cfg.getStringList("lol"));
for (String s: cfg.getStringList("arenas")){
size = size+1;
System.out.println(s);
Arena a = new Arena(s, null, null, null, null, null, null, null);
listToSaveArenasTo.add(a);
}
}

the main problem is that it can't find the StringList arenas for some reason.
an example for the arenas.yml could be like this:

example for the arenas.yml which I use (open) example for the arenas.yml which I use (close)

Code:

arenas:
  lol:
    corner1: world, 4.0, 4.0, 4.0
    corner2: world, 4.0, 4.0, 4.0
    lobbyCorner1: world, 4.0, 4.0, 4.0
    lobbyCorner2: world, 4.0, 4.0, 4.0
    spawns1:
      '1': world, 4.0, 4.0, 4.0
      '2': world, 4.0, 4.0, 6.0
      '3': world, 4.0, 4.0, 1.0
      '4': world, 4.0, 4.0, 8.0
      '5': world, 4.0, 4.0, 13.0
      '6': world, 4.0, 4.0, 5.0
    spawns2:
      '1': world, 4.0, 4.0, 4.0
      '2': world, 4.0, 4.0, 6.0
      '3': world, 4.0, 4.0, 1.0
      '4': world, 4.0, 4.0, 8.0
      '5': world, 4.0, 4.0, 13.0
      '6': world, 4.0, 4.0, 5.0

Thanks in advance

Tell us where you are. We don't like handing out code.... We just push in the right direction

 

Sgt_Tailor
Oh yeah, almost forgot that :S (My bad, I'll add it in the original post)

 

Datdenkikniet any errors?

 

Sgt_Tailor nope, thats what bothers me the most....

 

@Sgt_Tailor Because that's not a list? You must get ConfigurationSection and getKeys(false) in order to get arenas.

 

maciekmm ah, how could I be so stupid :S

 

maciekmm Datdenkikniet Didn't even see that
