Creating a custom config

I've tried every way I have found, and none seemed to work for me. Kept getting errors at

Code:

            conf = new File(plugin.clanFolder, "uchihaclan.yml");

Could someone find me some code or something x-x

 

Here's everything you need (it's the video your after)

javoris767 it is kinda hard to solve a problem from just one line

 

the link i posted contains a detailed tutorial on how to do it, i am currently using it in my plugin (in my signature). he goes through step by step and explains it, great for noobs and experianced programmers

 

Something like this?

Code:

File f = new File(plugin.getDataFolder() + File.separator + "CustomConfig.yml");
YamlConfiguration c = new YamlConfiguration();
 
if (!f.exists()) {
    f.createNewFile();
} else {
    c = YamlConfiguration.loadConfiguration(f);
}
 
c.set("path", object);
...
 
c.save(f);

Main Class

Code:

public class NarutoRPG extends JavaPlugin {
 
    // Global Managers
    MessageManager MM = new MessageManager(this);
    UchihaClan uc = new UchihaClan(this);
 
    // Global Fields
    public Logger log = Bukkit.getLogger();
    public List<Clan> clans;
    public Clan clan;
 
    public File clanFolder = new File(getDataFolder() + File.separator + "Clans");
 
 
    public String prefix = "[" + ChatColor.DARK_RED + "NarutoRPG" + ChatColor.WHITE + "] ";
 
    @Override
    public void onEnable() {
        getDataFolder().mkdir();
        clanFolder.mkdir();
        loadConfigs();
        getCommand("narutorpg").setExecutor(new NarutoRPGCommands(this));
        Bukkit.getPluginManager().registerEvents(new NarutoRPGListener(this), this);
        log.info(this + " is now enabled.");
        log.info("This plugin is sponsored by BeastNode.com.");
        log.info("Create. Connect. Grow. Premium Hosting Services.");
    }
 
    private void loadConfigs() {

    }
 
    @Override

        log.info("This plugin is sponsored by BeastNode.com.");
        log.info("Create. Connect. Grow. Premium Hosting Services.");
    }
 
    public Clan getClan(String s) {
        for (Clan c : clans) {
            if (c.getClanPlayers().contains(s)) {
                return c;
            }
        }
        return null;
    }
}

Config Class

Code:

public class UchihaClan {
 
    public  NarutoRPG plugin;
    public UchihaClan(NarutoRPG narutoRPG) {
        plugin = narutoRPG;
    }
 
    File f = new File(plugin.clanFolder + File.separator + "uchihaclan.yml");
    YamlConfiguration c = new YamlConfiguration();
 
    public void loadConfig(){
        if (!f.exists()) {
            try {
                f.createNewFile();
            } catch (IOException e) {
                // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        } else {
            c = YamlConfiguration.loadConfiguration(f);
        }
 
        c.set("path", "test");
 
        try {
            c.save(f);
        } catch (IOException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

Forgot to try the video o-O

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

you use plugin before you set it in the Config class. Also, in your main class, don't call getDataFolder() before onEnable() is called

 

And also, becuase you never intialised "plugin" before u tried to get data folder.

Code:

public NarutoRPG plugin;
public File f;
 
public UchihaClan(NarutoRPG narutoRPG) {
    plugin = narutoRPG;
    f = new File(plugin.clanFolder + File.separator + "uchihaclan.yml");
}

 

Still not working :/
