Need a tester/fixer

Hi,
I have been working on a chat plugin for quite some time now and I need sombody to test it. I named my plugin LMC masterchat because LMC is the name of my plugin team and masterchat is the perfect name for the plugin... It is all config file based, no commands. I will credit the tester on my bukkit dev plugin and grant membership to my plugin team.

Thanks.

BTW: I don't want sombody who is liek this all the time!

 

Why can't you just test it yourself?

 

Cuz I have tested it and theres a problem I just have no clue what it exactly is I need a expert.

 

Or you could just explain what is wrong and probably post the code that is doing whatever it is and we could help you that way.

 

Ok well the config files will not generate when I set it up and i'd bet this relates to some bigger problem in my plugin that exists.

 

Are you making sure to save the config after you edit it for the first time?

 

Yes I believe my worker did do that but the file was also made last august.

 

can you post the code where you edit the config the first time?

 

But I probaly could use sombody to test it tho because it could possibly be a problem with my test server. Because this guy that made the file and all that is a really good programmer but he is gonna be offline for months at a time.

 

Hate to break it to someone.. But I have about a whole 10 hours worth of hardcore coding for plugins, and what I found out from tutorials, etc was this code to generate a config file and it worked for me.

Code:

        getConfig().options().copyDefaults(true);
        saveConfig();
    }

Put that code in the "onEnable"

Edit* I also already had a config.yml created so I guess it just grabbed the already created one once the plugin is started and it generated it.

 

Dude I just tryed to upload and this website wont let me upload YML files so what now?

Ok I will also check if I have that in my onenable section. But I have 5 classes in my plugin and 2 packages, can it work anywhere else exept for by the onEnable part?

Well for one why are you trying to upload a .yml file.

2. <Edit by Moderator: Redacted mediafire url>

3. again just post the code where you are editing your config file. I'm still pretty sure that you just forgot to save it.

4. You don't actually need what ForsakenRealmz said. That will just save and empty config.yml file.

4. You don't actually need what ForsakenRealmz said. That will just save and empty config.yml file.[/quote]I wasn't editing the config file. What my real problem is is the fact that when I start my server it says started masterchat in the console but my yml config files will not show up in my plugins folder. I need to somehow fix my plugin from doing this.

Oh and the file for some reason is named channels.yml...

The config file is generated the first time you call the saveConfig() method of your main class

 

I think you could watch this video by theBCBroz on how to generate a config file. If that is not the correct way.. Please correct me.

 

Ok I will watch that vid! I'll tell u if it worked!

 

That is one way to make a config file but if you don't have a default config in your .jar then it will just make an empty config.yml file and again the config.yml file is generated the first you call the saveConfig() method of your main class.

 

Well the vid didn't do much. Here check out the structure of my plugin I will upload it for you.

I decided that I am going to pm you guys the plugin so check your inboxes soon.

Dude just post the code here. It isn't all that hard. Just copy your existing code then past it into a code box

 

Sorry about the video, I think I linked an older version of it. The same Youtube guy made an advanced config file creation in his 24th video found below. I think that is the one I used.

I wish I could help more.. Sadly I am trying to still teach myself plugins. If it helps.. I try to think of coding like writing a sentence. What helps me when thinking of listeners and events is thinking of it like a sentence. Same of the coding of other stuff.. "If bob hits jim, jim gets hurt." "If player types 'text', then the color red it added."

Haha I'm not sure man.. I am probably just talking out of my ass by now!

 

Code:

package me.andrew.MasterChat;
 
 
 
 
import info.bytecraft.sabersamus.MasterChat.ChannelChat;
import info.bytecraft.sabersamus.MasterChat.ChannelConfig;
 
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;
 
public class MasterChat extends JavaPlugin {
    private static MasterChat plugin;
   
    public void onEnable(){
        plugin = this; // Creates a static instance of this plugin, so you don't need to make a constructor (Masterchat plugin)
        ChannelConfig.load(); //Loads channels.yml
        getLogger().info("Masterchat is now enabled!");
        getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(new ChannelChat(), this); // Registers PlayerChatEvent for channels.
    }
 
    public void onDisable(){
        getLogger().info("Disabling Masterchat...");
        //onEnable and onDisable methods created above ^^
    }
   
    public static MasterChat getInstance(){
        return plugin;
    }
// OH PENISSES IT's THE END OF YOUR FUCKING PLUGIN ANDREW!
}

here this is my main file

 

And what about your ChannelConfig class?

 

Code:

package info.bytecraft.sabersamus.MasterChat;
 
import java.io.File;
import java.io.InputStream;
 
 
 
 
import me.andrew.MasterChat.MasterChat;
 
import org.bukkit.configuration.file.FileConfiguration;
import org.bukkit.configuration.file.YamlConfiguration;
 
public class ChannelConfig{
   
    private static File file = null;
    private static FileConfiguration fileConfig = null;
   
    public static void load(){
       
    }
   
    public static FileConfiguration getConfig(){
        if(fileConfig == null){
            reloadConfig();
        }
        return fileConfig;
    }
   
    public static void reloadConfig(){
        if(file == null){
            file = new File(MasterChat.getInstance().getDataFolder(), "Channels.yml");
        }
        fileConfig = YamlConfiguration.loadConfiguration(file);
       
        InputStream defConfigStream = MasterChat.getInstance().getResource("Channels.yml");
        if(defConfigStream != null){
            YamlConfiguration defConfig = YamlConfiguration.loadConfiguration(defConfigStream);
            fileConfig.setDefaults(defConfig);
        }
    }
}

Oh sorry here man

 

That's your problem

 

SO how do I fix the problem what should the code look like?

 

You are attempting to create a custom config file. Here's a tutorial on that. If you still can't figure out how to generate is after you implemented what you are missing just ask.

 

Ok um I still don't really get how that works, well could you show me that code in the fixed version?

 

It gives you the code that you are missing in the tutorial. Like almost exactly, you just have to change a few variable names.

 

ok well I thank you for your time would you like to be a contributer on our project on bukkit dev???

 

The wiki has a nice tutorial on this...
