Solved Having Problems With Configs

Hello, i am having problems with configuration files. This is my main class called Main.java:

Code:

package com.niels1k.plugin;
 
import java.util.logging.Logger;
import org.bukkit.plugin.PluginManager;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;
 
public class Main extends JavaPlugin{
    public static Main plugin;
    Logger logger = Logger.getLogger("Minecraft");
    public final Niels1kPlayerListener pl = new Niels1kPlayerListener();
   
    @Override
    public void onEnable() {
        getLogger().info("Niels1K Plugin Has Been Enabled!");
        PluginManager pm = getServer().getPluginManager();
        getCommand("niels1k").setExecutor(new Niels1kCommandExecutor(this));
        getCommand("niels1k heal").setExecutor(new Niels1kCommandExecutor(this));
        getCommand("niels1k info").setExecutor(new Niels1kCommandExecutor(this));
        getCommand("niels1k truth").setExecutor(new Niels1kCommandExecutor(this));
        this.getConfig().options().copyDefaults(true);
        this.saveDefaultConfig();
        this.saveConfig();
        pm.registerEvents(pl, this);
    }
   
    @Override
    public void onDisable() {
        getLogger().info("Niels1K Plugin Has Been Disabled!");
    }
}

'
Then here is my Player listener class called Niels1kPlayerListener.java:

Code:

package com.niels1k.plugin;
 
import org.bukkit.ChatColor;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.event.EventHandler;
import org.bukkit.event.Listener;
import org.bukkit.event.player.PlayerJoinEvent;
 
@SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
public class Niels1kPlayerListener implements Listener{
 
    public static Main plugin;
   
    @EventHandler
    public void onPlayerJoin(PlayerJoinEvent event){
        Player player = event.getPlayer();
        event.setJoinMessage(plugin.getConfig().getString("onjoin").replace("&player&", player.getName()).replaceAll("&1", ChatColor.DARK_BLUE+"").replaceAll("&0", ChatColor.BLACK+"").replaceAll("&2", ChatColor.DARK_GREEN+"").replaceAll("&3", ChatColor.DARK_AQUA+"").replaceAll("&4", ChatColor.DARK_RED+"").replaceAll("&5", ChatColor.DARK_PURPLE+"").replaceAll("&6", ChatColor.GOLD+"").replaceAll("&7", ChatColor.GRAY+"").replaceAll("&8", ChatColor.DARK_GRAY+"").replaceAll("&9", ChatColor.LIGHT_PURPLE+"").replaceAll("&a", ChatColor.GREEN+"").replaceAll("&b", ChatColor.AQUA+"").replaceAll("&c", ChatColor.RED+"").replaceAll("&e", ChatColor.YELLOW+"").replaceAll("&f", ChatColor.WHITE+"").replaceAll("&m", ChatColor.STRIKETHROUGH+"").replaceAll("&n", ChatColor.UNDERLINE+"").replaceAll("&l", ChatColor.BOLD+"").replaceAll("&k", ChatColor.MAGIC+"").replaceAll("&o", ChatColor.ITALIC+""));
    }
}

When i load up my server it doesnt generate a config file. If you look at my code, you see that i am trying to make the join message configurable. It might be someting with the Player listener, but it doesnt even gen a config. However, i do get an error in the console. If it doesnt have to do with this problem, ignore it.

Code:

To generate a config file easily, the best way to do it is write a sample config, (what you want your users to see) then place it inside the src/ folder of your project. To make it so that it copies over into the data folder like you see other plugins do, all you need to do is add this to your onEnable():

Code:

saveDefaultConfig();

 

Forgot to say, i actually have a sample config. Here it is:

Code:

##########################
# Default Niels1K Config #
##########################
# www.niels1k.comoj.com  #
##########################
 
#Set the player join message
#onjoin: <message>
#Color Codes can be use. Notice that the color pink (&d) doesn't work
onjoin: &bHello &player&! Welcome to a Niels1K server!

I also have saveDefaultConfig();

 

You are copying defaults, saving the default one, and saving it at the same place. Delete the other two

 

Well, people tell me alot that i'm stupid. And you just prove it. Haha it actually worked. Thanks buddy.

 

No problem

Every programmer starts stupid. I remember when I started, I tried to use a player like this:

Code:

"gomeow".someMethod();
