how do i make a ID list in a text file and how do i make an other file to log in

[dark2222]

my first question is how do i make a ID list in a text file players can go in and change? (adding or removing ID's)

 

my second question is how do i make an other file my mod can write stuff in? (like the FML log)

 

EDIT-

maybe can a bit more info of my mod idea help.

 

my mod idea is to have a server-side (or universal that depends on if im gonna need some client info) and what the mod is checking if any blocks placed match a ID list (that's where the first question come in) and if the block match it will write/log time, player name, what block, maybe cords.

It's called a config file.

 

Configuration config = new Configuration(event.getSuggestedConfigurationFile());
        config.load();
        int fogID = config.getBlock("Fog", 1549).getInt();
    config.save();

for the ID list?

EDIT-

sorry are new to config files

EDIT-

just tried add that code but i can't find  event.getSuggestedConfigurationFile()

[dark2222]

event

has to be your

FMLPreInitializationEvent

.

thanks the config file works but do you now how i can make a ID list of in-game stuff that i don't add?

 

example if i want to now when players place a quarry from buildcraft i want just to put the quarry ID in a file (maybe make a id list in the config file?) 

[dark2222]

Dont put stuff like that in a config file, as there can be multiple worlds per installation. You probably want a WorldSavedData.

what do you mean?

EDIT-

i'm trying too make it server side and detect all block's placed with a specific ID

[dark2222]

what do you mean?

You can't store information about a world in your config file as the config file is for general stuff like block ids. These don't change between worlds.

But the quarry id is an information which is bound to the world, so you can't store it in the config (there is only ever ONE config file, not one per world).

 

So you have to use the WorldSavedData class, which allows you to save additional arbitrary data to the world save.

so with a WorldSavedData class can i make a ID List that is changeable for server host's and maybe ops using commands?

EDIT-

Sorry if i sound like a big noob never made a mod that did this before

[dark2222]

No, that is not the purpose of that class.

Please explain in more detail what you want to do.

what i want to do is make a mod that can say/log when a player place a specific block.

i don't now else how to explain it more so i am gonna tell how i got the mod idea.

 

I was in a teamspeak server one day and they had some tps/server lag and they found out that 2 quarry's what overflowing  and the admin didn't now who's quarry's it was so i though that it cud be allot easier if he cud type a command and see who place it, where he placed it (cords), when he placed and what he placed.

that's about it i don't now how else to say it

[dark2222]

That is not an easy task as there

a) are a lot of blocks being placed => Thats a shit-ton of data

b) no BlockPlaceEvents in forge

 

And also: there are already Bukkit plugins which do this far better than anything you can quickly create in forge (LogBlock of the top of my head, not sure if thats still accurate, i havent had a bukkit server in ages).

a) if i made it universal cud i not then make the client sync with a ID List that the server have so instead of checking all blocks being placed the client will send a package when it place a block that match one of the ID's from the list?

 

b) i searched a bit around before posting this and i found PlayerInteractEvent.Action.RIGHT_CLICK_BLOCK i may be able to detect it with that some way

 

and i now there are is bukkit plugins that are far betta then i can quickly make but who said it shall be a quick and easy mod? not all mods works on bukkit (if they even do, don't now).

and i wanna make a more advanced mods most bekos my last mod is alot basic stuff (just adding alot of stuff)

It will still be a lot of data. And you shouldn't do stuff like that on the client, or your mod will be easily exploitable.

 

how can a mod that only log player name, when it happen, where it happen(cord maybe also dim) and what got placed be exploitable?

 

the only way i can see it as exploitable is that is tells the players cord for ops/admins

I was talking about your intention of doing something on the client. The client can always be hacked, the server can't. Do as much as you can on the server.

ok that's nice to now but i actually set this project on pause until i now a bit more java and forge coding

 

so i am working on another mod and i have some problems with that (gui problems) and probably gonna make a post in modder support here for that soon (never added a GUI/tile entitiy/container before so having small problems)

 

EDIT-

never mind about that with making a new post found and fixed the problem
