(Deprecated) Bukkit's Standard Configuration Tutorial

Everything has a reason
Anyway, I tried using the code in your original post, when I build the JAR file, run the server and even use the configs in the game, they don't appear. Am I supposed to do something to make 'em appear?

EDIT: Never mind, fixed it.

 

Is there supposed to be a folder made if it isnt there with the .yml file in it?
If so, then its not working to me, not creating the folder and the file

EDIT**: fixed it

 

Might I ask what you did to fix this? I've been having some trouble with this also.

 

try config.save()?

 

Good call... missed that somehow.

 

I have a slight glitch with the config file header. In my saveConfig() which get's called on every OP-command, I just use

Code:

config.setHeader()
config.save()

But the file now has two headers on row 1 & 2. Any ideas?

 

When putting this all into my Main class, and in onEnable.
The server creates the Config correctly first time, but the second time it announces that the ":" is not allowed inside the config file, So what i got is Brackets: "Test" Set as a string, than the server announces : is not allowed...
Can you please help me a bit?

EDIT: I fixed it already
Can you please give me some tips on how to do colour codes, a config to change chat colors...

Just add replaceAll("(&([a-f0-9]))", "\u00A7$2"); to any string and it will make &a-f and &1-9 show up as colors. (&4 Will make the text afterwards dark red)

 

Thanks alot!, still got one question.
If i want to import the colors (Im getting them from my Main) to another class as Main.
So at the CommandHandler class, i need to edit the colors. How to make him understand the strings of my Main class.

EDIT: @captainawesome7

@captainawesome7
You know how to get around that problem...?
I just cant get it fixed, its more JAVA knowledge though...

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

 

What?

 

@captainawesome7
Im loading the color in the Main class. Lets say its &9 so thats blue.
When i am in my CommandHandler class, and im using the string name of that color, so for instance ''Prefix-Color'' (Whats listed in the config) when i type in as string Prefix-Color, it wont load it, because i imported the color in my Main.
Do you know how to get around it?...
I hope this is explained better..

 

Um, you should have instances set up correctly, so that to make a new CommandHandler class you have to use CommandHandler(Main) so that you can use public variables from Main in your CommandHandler class

 

@captainawesome7
I dont get it fully...
Can you please explain it a bit better? :3

Hey, is there any way to get this to work using a HashMap?

for example, i'm making an economy plugin for my server (no real reason) and i'm saving the players balances using a HashMap to compare <Player, double> double being the balance obviously, any ideas how i can save the player and value to a config for a person to edit? i'd rather keep it in flatfile if possible, dont really mind how many players end up in it

 

Weird, I followed the instructions for the basic thing, and it works. It creates the config file and loads the values correctly, now the problem is whenever I reload/stop & start my server, it throws an error on the not changed config file!

Code:

Code:

package net.creepcraft.iPencil;

import java.util.logging.Logger;

import org.bukkit.entity.Entity;
import org.bukkit.entity.LivingEntity;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.event.Event;
import org.bukkit.plugin.PluginManager;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;
import org.bukkit.util.Vector;
import org.bukkit.util.config.Configuration;

public class MobMounts extends JavaPlugin{

      private final MobMountsPlayerListener playerListener = new MobMountsPlayerListener(this);
      private final MobMountsEntityListener entityListener = new MobMountsEntityListener(this);
      public static final Logger log = Logger.getLogger("Minecraft");

        public Configuration config;
        public Integer Zombietame;
        public Integer Creepertame;
        public Integer Skeletontame;
        public Integer Spidertame;
        public Integer Pigtame;
        public Integer Sheeptame;
        public Integer Cowtame;
        public Integer Chickentame;
        public Integer Squidtame;

        public void onDisable() {
            log.info("[MobMounts]" + "version" + getDescription().getVersion() +" by iPencil" + " disabled!");
 
        }

        public void onEnable() {

            log.info("[MobMounts]" + " version " + getDescription().getVersion() +" by iPencil" + " enabled!");
            PluginManager pm = getServer().getPluginManager();
            pm.registerEvent(Event.Type.PLAYER_INTERACT_ENTITY, playerListener, Event.Priority.Highest, this);
            pm.registerEvent(Event.Type.ENTITY_TARGET, entityListener, Event.Priority.Highest, this);
            config = getConfiguration();
            config.setHeader("Here you can define the items that are required to mount the mobs onto you.");
            Zombietame = config.getInt("Zombie tame item", 268);
            Creepertame = config.getInt("Creeper tame item", 289);
            Skeletontame = config.getInt("Skeleton tame item", 262);
            Spidertame = config.getInt("Spider tame item", 287);
            Pigtame = config.getInt("Pig tame item", 296);
            Sheeptame = config.getInt("Sheep tame item", 296);
            Cowtame = config.getInt("Cow tame item", 296);
            Chickentame = config.getInt("Chicken tame item", 295);
            Squidtame = config.getInt("Squid tame item", 338);
            config.save();

        }

I didn't modify anything in the config yet it throws this error:

Code:

16:09:50 [SEVERE] Could not load 'plugins\MobMount.jar' in folder 'plugins':

And it only happens when I reload/stop & start the server again. On the first time it works flawless, I even tested it ingame.

 

Thanks for the tutorial,really easy!

 

for some reason every time i go to reload the server my blacklung's plugin config keeps reseting back to defaults.

 

Hey,

thank you!
I was just searching for this, because it's the first time I want to use a config!

 

Just came here to ask about the very same problem. Has anyone had experience in fixing this?

 

Don't put spaces in the path! Use ZombieTameItem: 123 etc.

 

Alright! THANKS

 

Somehow I get a NullPointerException :/
http://pastebin.com/CCEAmEp1 // Main.class
http://pastebin.com/yCUQESR9 // Line 33, the error in the BlockListener

Hope anyone can help me!

 

dont use config.getBoolean("test", false)

use

plugin.test == true

on enable you make the plugin read the value of test and store it in

public Boolean test;

now whenver you want to get the value of test you simply take that boolean, because it's not in the same class you have to use plugin.test

 

I have my config loading in a seperate file so I can keep it nice and organized, I have no problems, I was just reading for you comments, but I did the setHeader thing and it kept putting it at the top, what if I wanted it like this?

(This is the Config.yml is generates for me)

Code:

# This is the configuration file for Dynamic Graylist
System:
    Database:
        Port: '3306'
        Database: forum
        Password: ''
        Username: root
        Hostname: localhost

I want it too look like this:

Code:

# This is the configuration file for Dynamic Graylist
System:
    Database:
        Port: '3306' # MySQL Port
        Database: forum # Forum database
        Password: '' # MySQL Password
        Username: root # MySQL Username
        Hostname: localhost # MySQL Host

How do I do it?

 

You are my hero. Now I hope I understood configuration to 100%
Will test it tomorrow after school

 

Kein Problem

 

Yes same here now I understand how to get a value from the config Thank you @Pencil

 

Funktioniert wunderbar, kann endlich weitermachen zu arbeiten

//

All is working!

 

@captainawesome7
1 question.. Do I use the Saving/Loading method instead of the first basic example? Or do I use them both?

 

You use one or the other.
