[Urgent] Kill Death Counter Without a scoreboard

I have posted soooo many times trying to make a kill and death counter with killstreaks and kdr, but after a bit everyone just stops posting D: I need a simple way to get a kill and death counter, maybe kdr amd killstreaks. PLEASE help this is really urgent. Thanks

You're clearly not that good at Java if you don't know how to do this.. Make your methods to add/take/set/get kills or deaths, then to do KDR, you need to divide ( / ) kills by deaths.. It's simple..

 

I could do it with hashmaps but when I do those it resets when I reload the server...

 

then save them in a flatfile or database

 

can you tell me how tho...

 

Assume a simple mapping from username to kdr

Code:

Map<String, Double> kdr = new HashMap<String, Double>();

Saving:

Code:

public void save(File file)
{
    if(!file.exists())
    {
        try
        {
            if(!file.getParentFile().mkdirs() || !file.createNewFile() ) 
            {
                // Just throw the exception so we can handle the no-file-case in the catch
                throw new IOException("Failed to create either the file or the parent folders");
            }
        }
        catch(IOException ex)
        {
            //yourLogger.log(Level.SEVERE, "Failed to find/create the file");
            // And we don't want it to continue
            return;
        }
    }
    
    YamlConfiguration yc = new YamlConfiguration();
    for(Map.Entry<String, Double> ratio : this.kdr.entrySet())
    {
        yc.set(ratio.getKey(), ratio.getValue());
    }
    
    try
    {
        yc.save(file);
    }
    catch(IOException ex)
    {
        //yourLogger.log(Level.SEVERE, "Failed to save the data");
    }
}

Loading:

Code:

public void load(File load)
{
    if(!load.exists()) return;
    YamlConfiguration yc = YamlConfiguration.loadConfiguration(load);
    for(String key : yc.getKeys(false))
    {
        this.kdr.put(key, yc.getDouble(key, 1D));
    }
}

Study the code

 

It's not even Java, it's 6th grade logic.

 

This forum is supposed to be fricking nice and you guys are being a bunch of douches.

 

These folks are trying to help you out, no need to attack them. There is a basic understanding of Java that is required to make even the simplest of plugins, and they are suggesting that you may want to get back to basics and learn those before attempting to handle this plugin. We cannot possibly teach Java as well as teach how to use the Bukkit API, so there is some expectation that you will take on the learning Java bits first.

That said, @fireblast709's post was very helpful. I suggest reading through that as an example of how you can accomplish what you are looking to accomplish.
