Check if class exists?

[TLHPoE]

I'm trying to have my mod check for files. So far it prints nothing (the init() method in DefaultPaxels prints HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII)

 

Placed this into my init:

	File defaultPaxels = new File("com.deathman12e3.paxels.DefaultPaxels");

	if(defaultPaxels.exists())
	{

		DefaultPaxels.init();

	}

 

Here's a file tree:

 

src

>com

>>deathman12e3

>>>mod_LegendaryPaxels

>>>ClientProxy

>>>CommonProxy

>>paxels

>>>DefaultPaxels

well ... you dont HAVE to do it this way (actually its pretty weird)

 

but you're probably better to do

 

Class c = Class.forName("com.name.wtv.class");

How would I put that into an if statement?

[hydroflame]

a try catch as it will throw exception if it doesnt find it

[hydroflame]

plus like i said, you might want to reconsider how you are implementing this ...

[TLHPoE]

I put this into my preInit

	try
	{

		Class c = Class.forName("com.deathman12e3.paxels.DefaultPaxels.class");

	}
	catch(Exception e)
	{

		PaxelData.defaultPaxels = false;

	}

And this into my init

	if(PaxelData.defaultPaxels == true)
	{

		System.out.println("HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII");

	}

com.deathman12e3.paxels.DefaultPaxels.class

remove .class

Ok, I'm trying to add like a DLC sort of thing. Where if you have the class, then it'll initialize it. But if you don't have it, it'll ignore it.

well the "dlc" could be a mod by itself and have a dependencie over your main mod
