How can i create a messages.yml file?

Hi! I'm developing a plugin and i need to have a file with all messages to change it... i don't know how to create another file with different name... can you explain me? or give me an example code?
thx! and sorry for my bad english...

https://bukkit.gamepedia.com/Configuration_API_Reference#Using_an_alternate_configuration_file

 

ehi!
I had already read that page ... but I did not understand how to use it inside a plugin and then add messages to the file and make them accessible from other classes

 

@EyesPlay
Using the lines in that thread, load your custom yml file. After that, you can set and get any variables you want the same way you do it for the default config. When you are done, call CustomConfig#save(File) to save the config to that file.

 

@Zombie_Striker ok!

Code:

        FileConfiguration messages = YamlConfiguration.loadConfiguration(getResource("messages.yml"));

i've added this to onEnable but i can't access it from other classes... how can i do it?

 

@EyesPlay pass the objects through the main class constructor. Check this tutorial for details: https://bukkit.org/threads/config-from-another-class.61899/

 

@xTechno_ ehi thanks for the answer! but i'm using custom configuration file... "messages.yml" how can i use this?

 

@EyesPlay Create an acces between classes with constructor, it's basic java. You should learn it.

 

^
The getConfig() method gets the main config.yml file. Since it returns FileConfiguration, instead of using the getter just use customconfig.addDefault, getString etc

 

@xTechno_ thanks! i'm going to test it!

after some test and an help from a friend i added this to the main class:

Code:

    File messages;
    FileConfiguration messagesConfig;

    @Override
    public void onEnable() {
       
        messages= new File("plugin/TwoStep/messages.yml");
        messagesConfig= YamlConfiguration.loadConfiguration(messages);
        messagesConfig.options().copyDefaults(true);

but it gives me an error...

@timtower (?) no... is the main class...

 

@timtower

Code:

import it.eyesplay.twostep.commands.EnableCommand;
import it.eyesplay.twostep.commands.LoginCommand;
import it.eyesplay.twostep.listener.InventoryPinListener;
import it.eyesplay.twostep.listener.PreventListener;

import org.bukkit.Bukkit;

import java.io.IOException;
import java.nio.file.Files;
import java.nio.file.Path;
import java.util.*;
import java.util.logging.Level;

this is my imports... the only import that can make mistakes is import java.nio.file.Files...


edit: i've imported the wrong...

Code:

change import org.bukkit.craftbukkit.libs.org.ibex.nestedvm.util.Seekable.File
with
import java.io.File;

 

@timtower yes now it work but when i use getString in chat it appear like "!mapgiver!" and not the message in that string...
i use spigot 1.8.8 for develop...

 

@timtower

Code:

# You can Change all the plugin's messages here.
mapGiver1: &6Ecco il tuo codice segreto. Scannerizzalo con il tuo cellulare
mapGiver2: &6Poi droppa la mappa per eliminarla

this is the content of messages.yml

Code:

player.sendMessage(ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', Messages.getString("mapGiver1")));

i use this


edit: where can i found the api?

 

@EyesPlay
What are you using to get the string? A command or a chat event?

 

@AdamDev ? the string is in the messages.yml file.. and i need to use it instead of a message... but it seems to not working...

edit: i understood!! i can't access the messages.yml from the other classes... how can i do this? an example code would be appreciated xD

 

@EyesPlay
No, In-game are you using a command to return that string or are you typing something in chat like "!mapGiver"?

 

@AdamDev oh yes xD nope... it gives to the player a map and tell to the player in chat the message

 

@EyesPlay
1. For further reference, I suggest checking out this website for more than one config file. https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/multiple-config-files.263774/
2. We can't exactly go off of a little bit of code. We have only seen a couple of lines code. We're trying to help you but please send the code where it's giving you a error.
3. When your giving the map is it already in the server data? Or are you giving them a empty map?
4. When sending the message "Messages.getConfig().getString("mapGiver1");" is there something like "Messages.getConfig().getString("Messages.mapGiver1")".

Hope this helps!

@AdamDev thanks!
TwoStep.java:

Code:

        messages= new File("plugin/TwoStep/messages.yml");
        messagesConfig= YamlConfiguration.loadConfiguration(messages);
        messagesConfig.options().copyDefaults(true);

MapGiver.java:

Code:

public class MapGiver implements Runnable {

    private final TwoStep plugin;
    private final Player player;
    private final BufferedImage resultImage;

    public MapGiver(TwoStep plugin, Player player, BufferedImage resultImage) {
        this.plugin = plugin;
        this.player = player;
        this.resultImage = resultImage;
    }

    @Override
    public void run() {
        MapView createdView = installRenderer(player, resultImage);
        ItemStack mapItem = new ItemStack(Material.MAP, 0, createdView.getId());
        player.getInventory().addItem(mapItem);
        player.sendMessage(ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', Messages.getString("mapGiver1")));

 

@EyesPlay
Is there some command like /givemap <map> ?

Edit:
Change "messages = new File("plugin/TowStep/messages.yml");" to "messagss = new File(getDataFolder(), "messages.yml");" makes it simpler.

 

no...
@AdamDev

 

@EyesPlay
So what's giving that map then?

 

@AdamDev when a player join if isn't in the database it gives a map

 

@EyesPlay
I'm gonna get on my computer so I can type a little faster.

 

@AdamDev yeee thanks!
