I'm going to go insane. As with almost everything Forge there is basically no documentation to be found. I wanted to use the SelectValueEntry GUI entry in the same fashion I use numeric sliders - by telling Configuration Properties about this nice ConfigEntry class:
File configFile = event.getSuggestedConfigurationFile();
config = new Configuration(configFile);
config.get("Category", "Field", "Default").setConfigEntryClass(GuiConfigEntries.SelectValueEntry.class);
Naturally that doesn't work because the relevant constructor then doesn't know about SelectValueEntry's fourth required parameter that gives it the map with values.
I tried a bunch of different things; mainly the least ugly override of the class like so:
public class MySelectValueEntry extends GuiConfigEntries.SelectValueEntry {
public MySelectValueEntry(GuiConfig owningScreen, GuiConfigEntries owningEntryList, IConfigElement configElement) {
super(owningScreen, owningEntryList, configElement, ValueMap);
}
}
where ValueMap is a previously constructed Map<Integer, String>, and just using it there instead. Seemed like a fairly okay solution, but I was met with an exception:
[01:59:12] [main/ERROR] [FML]: There was a critical error instantiating the custom IConfigEntry for config element cfg.field.

suggesting that a fitting constructor(?) doesn't exist. You can look at the full and pretty much current source code for context. I specifically don't want to draw the menu "by hand" (thus bypassing the whole instantiation from net.minecraftforge.fml.client.config.GuiConfigEntries:126) to avoid duplicating tons of code that already works just fine inside Forge.
Did I miss something or am I doing it somehow completely wrong? I've been trying at it for the past like 4 hours without much recourse. Any ideas?
