[solved] Chat color from the config file

Hi. In my config file i got this:

This is only an example.

"&1Hi &aAnd &2Welcome!"

Any suggestion on how to make that work? So the message that get printed in-game will be those colors?

My plugin prints the lines just fine... But i can't figure out how i can change the color from the config.

 

You need to replace yout color codes with ChatColor.<whateverColor>, e.g. ChatColor.RED.
Easiest way of doing so; copy / paste this:

Code:

        line = line.replaceAll("&0", ChatColor.BLACK + "");
        line = line.replaceAll("&1", ChatColor.DARK_BLUE + "");
        line = line.replaceAll("&2", ChatColor.DARK_GREEN + "");
        line = line.replaceAll("&3", ChatColor.DARK_AQUA + "");
        line = line.replaceAll("&4", ChatColor.DARK_RED + "");
        line = line.replaceAll("&5", ChatColor.DARK_PURPLE + "");
        line = line.replaceAll("&6", ChatColor.GOLD + "");
        line = line.replaceAll("&7", ChatColor.GRAY + "");
        line = line.replaceAll("&8", ChatColor.DARK_GRAY+ "");
        line = line.replaceAll("&9", ChatColor.BLUE + "");
        line = line.replaceAll("&a", ChatColor.GREEN + "");
        line = line.replaceAll("&b", ChatColor.AQUA + "");
        line = line.replaceAll("&c", ChatColor.RED + "");
        line = line.replaceAll("&d", ChatColor.LIGHT_PURPLE + "");
        line = line.replaceAll("&e", ChatColor.YELLOW + "");
        line = line.replaceAll("&f", ChatColor.WHITE + "");
        line = line.replaceAll("&g", ChatColor.MAGIC + "");

 

hmm ok. How would i use this? I'm new to all this config text print out in-game. xD

 

Let's say "line" is the string you got and stored from the config. Then just use line.replace(x, y) on all of them.

The first line wil replace all the "&0"s in your line with the color black + a string to add the color to. The rest of your line will now use this color until a new one is provided.

 

Ahh ok. I will test now. Got no errors in eclipse with it now xD

 

Awesome

 

Hmm. getting a big error in the console... i guess I'm doing something wrong....

That's an error in your config. If you post it or something, I can try and find it for you.

 

Code:

# CMDbox BroadCaster settings!
BroadCaster:
  Enable: true
  prefix: '[HC]'
  interval: 45
Messages:
  How many lines: 2
  '1': &aHi &1and &2welcome1
  '2': &aHi &1and &2welcome2

 

This should fix it:

Code:

# CMDbox BroadCaster settings!
BroadCaster:
  Enable: true
  prefix: '[HC]'
  interval: 45
Messages:
  HowManyLines: 2
  '1': '&aHi &1and &2welcome1'
  '2': '&aHi &1and &2welcome2'

3 last lines changed.
Really don't think you need "How many lines: 2" for anything.

 

Ok. i will test it. I need the "How many lines" to what I'm doing... I'm not sure on any other way i can count the lines and print the first line in-game and then the second line after 45 sec.

EDIT: it fixed my error! thanks

 

You could use a List<?>, but whatever. As long as it works

 

I guess i can. Ye it works . Thanks for the help!
