How can i create a messages.yml file?

@EyesPlay
So, now back to the Player data. So your config would start out as something like this:

Code:

Players: {}

Right?

Then when a player joins it adds them to the config:

Code:

Players: {
     AdamDev:
}

Then it gives them the map.
Am I right?

 

no... is little different... the plugin put all the players data in a different-per-player file...

but... the problem is... i can't access to the messages.yml strings from other classes...

 

@EyesPlay
Then I suggest going back to my other post with the link to multiple configs. It will take time getting used to.

 

(my pc is broken... sorry for double post but it stop working...)

 

@AdamDev ehi! after many attempts I understand that the method used in your post is not good...
i've this in the onEnable...

Code:

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

how can i access to the messages from the other classes?

 

@EyesPlay put the FileConfiguration as a field and pass your instance of your mainclass as parameter in the constructor of others classes

 

@Caderape2 how can i do this? i am new to develope and i'm a noob... sorry

 

@EyesPlay

Code:

public class MainClass extends JavaPlugin{

    private int amount;
    private Test test;
  

    public void onEnable()
    {
        amount = 5;
      
        test = new Test(this);
      
        test.broadCastAmount();
    }


    public int getAmount() {
        return amount;
    }
}

Code:

public class Test {

    private MainClass plugin;
  
    public Test(MainClass plugin)
    {
        this.plugin = plugin;
    }
  
  
    public void broadCastAmount()
    {
        Bukkit.broadcastMessage(plugin.getAmount()+"");
    }
}

If you still don't understand, do some research on google about instances and constructors.

 

@Caderape2
Nice stuff but there's a problem. He doesn't want a class to be his messages. He wants a different "config.yml".

@EyesPlay
I don't like doing this, but I guess I have to. Heres some code that worked for me with the link to multiple config files:

Code:

package me.hype.testing.createfile;

import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
import org.bukkit.configuration.file.FileConfiguration;
import org.bukkit.configuration.file.YamlConfiguration;

public class YamlHandler
{
   static File createTempFile(String filename)                                                                
   {

       File c = new File(Core.getInstance().getDataFolder().getAbsolutePath());
       c.mkdir();
       File f= new File(Core.getInstance().getDataFolder().getAbsolutePath() + File.separator + filename);

       if(!f.exists())
       {
           try {
               f.createNewFile();
           } catch (IOException e) {
               // TODO Auto-generated catch block
               e.printStackTrace();
           }
       }
       else
       {
           f.delete();
           try {
               f.createNewFile();
           } catch (IOException e) {
               // TODO Auto-generated catch block
               e.printStackTrace();
           }
       }
       return f;
   }
   public static File createFile(String filename)                                                                  
   {

       File c = new File(Core.getInstance().getDataFolder().getAbsolutePath());
       c.mkdir();
       File f= new File(Core.getInstance().getDataFolder().getAbsolutePath() + File.separator + filename);

       if(!f.exists())
       {
           try {
               f.createNewFile();
           } catch (IOException e) {
               // TODO Auto-generated catch block
               e.printStackTrace();
           }
       }
       return f;
   }
   public static FileConfiguration createYamlFile(File f)
   {
       FileConfiguration fc= YamlConfiguration.loadConfiguration(f);

       return fc;
   }

   public static void saveYamlFile(FileConfiguration c,File f)
   {
       try {
           c.save(f);
       } catch (IOException e) {
           // TODO Auto-generated catch block
           e.printStackTrace();
       }

   }

}

That's the YamlHandler.

Now to use it you would do something like:

Code:

package me.hype.testing.createfile;

import java.io.File;

import org.bukkit.configuration.file.FileConfiguration;
import org.bukkit.event.Listener;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;

public class Core extends JavaPlugin implements Listener {
 
    private static Core plugin;
 
    public void onEnable() {
        plugin = this;
        File name = YamlHandler.createFile("name.yml");
        File name2 = YamlHandler.createFile("name2.yml");
        FileConfiguration nameconfig = YamlHandler.createYamlFile(name);
        FileConfiguration nameconfig2 = YamlHandler.createYamlFile(name2);
        nameconfig.createSection("Strings");
        nameconfig2.createSection("Strings2");
        YamlHandler.saveYamlFile(nameconfig, name);
        YamlHandler.saveYamlFile(nameconfig2, name2);
    }
    public void onDisable() {
        plugin = null;
    }
 
    public static Core getInstance() {
        return plugin;
    }
 
 
}

In your onEnable().

 

@AdamDev that code is working! it creates the messages.yml file but... how can i access to this from the other classes? i can't

 

@EyesPlay
Look what I used to create the sections in the config:

If you are using this to add / get stuff you would do:

Code:

// This is getting the mapmessage1 string from the config
messages.getString("message.mapmessage1");
messages.getString("message.mapmessage2");
messages.getString("message.mapmessage3");
// This is adding a mapmessage4 to the config
message.set("message.mapmessage4", "blah");

If this doesn't solve your problem then I don't know what will.
