Solved Help With Loading Worlds as Specified in a YAML file

Hey everyone! So, I'm having trouble loading worlds based on the name that is specified in a file called "worlds.yml".

When I try to load a world from the file, using a command like "/world load <world>", it creates a world titled "MemorySection[path='world', root='YamlConfiguration']", instead of loading the actual world that was specified in the file. This is the method I'm using:

Code:java

    public static void loadWorld(String name){
        File worlds = new File(Main.getInstance().getDataFolder(), "worlds.yml");
        FileConfiguration c = YamlConfiguration.loadConfiguration(worlds);
 
        Bukkit.getServer().createWorld(new WorldCreator(c.getString(name)));   
        System.out.println("[WorldManager] Loaded world " + name);
    }

Any ideas how I can fix this? Thanks

 

Can you show your yaml file?

Whoops forgot to put it in the main post

Code:

otherworld:
  weather: false
 
#going to add more stuff later

 

Looks like your path is "world". Which, depending if that's your full config or not, would either return a map in string form or you entered a non-existant path. Try printing the value of "name"

Thanks. I realized how stupid my mistake was and fixed it. Had to change:

Code:java

 Bukkit.getServer().createWorld(new WorldCreator(c.getString(name)));

to

Code:java

Bukkit.getServer().createWorld(new WorldCreator(c.getConfigurationSection(name).toString())); 

While we're on this, any idea why this could be throwing an NPE?

Code:java

    public static void playerTeleportWorld(Player player, String name){
        World world = Bukkit.getServer().getWorld(name);
 
        player.teleport(world.getSpawnLocation());
    }    

 

The Gaming Grunts The world is null

The problem is that the world exists and is loaded (using the above method, which now works)

 

The Gaming Grunts K, wait... so have you tested it since you fixed the loading code?

 

travja
Yes that's how I know

 

Do you know what exact line it is pointing to?

Whoops I edited that and the comment I put in disappeared. Here:

Code:java

    public static void playerTeleportWorld(Player player, String name){
        World world = Bukkit.getServer().getWorld(name);
 
        player.teleport(world.getSpawnLocation()); //NPE
    }    

 

So either, the player, world or spawn location are null, you can add debug messages to find out which one.

Nvm I figured it out. Thanks for the help though
