Configuration Wont Work

[mccahon]

    Here is an example of my configuration:

 

static Configuration configuration = new Configuration(new File(Minecraft.getMinecraftDir(), "mods/randomCraftClient.cfg"));

  THIS IS LINE 16 FROM CRASH------> static int myID = configurationProperties();

    static int my2ID;

    static int my3ID ;

 

    public static int configurationProperties()

    {

  //THIS IS LINE 220 FROM CRASH---->    configuration.load();

            //Blocks ID

            myID = Integer.parseInt(configuration.getOrCreateBlockIdProperty("my", 210).value);

            //General Stuff

            my2ID = Integer.parseInt(configuration.getOrCreateIntProperty("my 2(1 = On || 0 = Off)", Configuration.CATEGORY_GENERAL, 1).value);

            //Items ID

            my3ID = Integer.parseInt(configuration.getOrCreateIntProperty("my 3", Configuration.CATEGORY_ITEM, 30201).value);

            configuration.save();

            return myID;

    }

This crash only happens after the second time the client is launched.

dont use weird names:

my 2(1 = On || 0 = Off)

Properties have comments for a reason.

Thank you, would have been able to see that if the error was showing up on that line not the first line

Those were not the lines that contained the (1 = on || 0 = off) those were the initial Configuration.load(); and the first ID on the list which was a block not from the general section.

Was that english?

Anyways point is, what is the first thing you should of thought of when you got that error saying that ( was a unknown character when you were trying to load your config?

Perhaps reading the config file.. and finding the (

Anyways, problem is resolved, And if you don't like how the exception looks its your fault because you don't catch the exceptions in your constructor {which is the only way you can make it print the trace at that line}. However its not that big of a deal if you understand how to read stack traces.

 

Thread finished, don't use () in your property name.
