How to change the config file from within the code

[Clarinetncleats3]

HI,

In the mod I'm making, I want the user to be able to type "SLEnable" to enable the mod and "SLDisable to disable the mod. This works fine while ingame, but when you exit the game and rejoin, it goes back to the default state of being enabled. After looking in the forge/mcp/jars/config directory, I found that the configuration file is simply not changing when these "commands" are being run. I looked at this post: http://www.minecraftforge.net/forum/index.php/topic,7746.0.html. I changed my boolean "Enabled" variable to a Property and  used the Property.set() method but the config file is still not changing.

My Body Class (SLMain.java):

 

package comaolevbelcher.ShedLight;

import comaolevbelcher.WhatStuff.WSPlayerDeathHandler;
import net.minecraft.entity.player.EntityPlayer;
import net.minecraft.entity.player.EntityPlayerMP;
import net.minecraft.server.MinecraftServer;
import net.minecraft.src.ModLoader;
import net.minecraftforge.common.Configuration;
import net.minecraftforge.common.MinecraftForge;
import net.minecraftforge.common.Property;
import cpw.mods.fml.common.Mod;
import cpw.mods.fml.common.Mod.EventHandler;
import cpw.mods.fml.common.event.FMLInitializationEvent;
import cpw.mods.fml.common.event.FMLPostInitializationEvent;
import cpw.mods.fml.common.event.FMLPreInitializationEvent;
import cpw.mods.fml.common.network.NetworkMod;
import cpw.mods.fml.common.registry.TickRegistry;
import cpw.mods.fml.relauncher.Side;


@Mod(modid = SLInfo.ID, name = SLInfo.NAME, version = SLInfo.VERSION)
@NetworkMod(clientSideRequired = true, serverSideRequired = false)

public class SLMain {
public static int MaxLightLevel;
public static boolean InNether;
public static Property Enabled;
static Configuration config;

@EventHandler
public static void preInit(FMLPreInitializationEvent event) {
	config = new Configuration(event.getSuggestedConfigurationFile());
	config.load();
	MaxLightLevel = config.get(Configuration.CATEGORY_GENERAL, "Maximum Light Level", 7).getInt();
	InNether = config.get(Configuration.CATEGORY_GENERAL, "Place torches in Nether?", false).getBoolean(false);
	Enabled = config.get(Configuration.CATEGORY_GENERAL, "Enable this mod?", true);
	config.save();
}

/*public static void saveConfig(){
	config.save();
}

public static void loadConfig(){
	config.load();
}*/

@EventHandler
public void load(FMLInitializationEvent event)
{
	TickRegistry.registerTickHandler(new SLGameTickHandler(), Side.CLIENT);
}


@EventHandler
public void postInit(FMLPostInitializationEvent event) {
	System.out.println("You are running " + SLInfo.NAME + " made by " + SLInfo.CREATORS);
	MinecraftForge.EVENT_BUS.register(new SLChatHandler());
}

}

 

 

 

My ChatHandler class (SLChatHandler.java):

 

package comaolevbelcher.ShedLight;

import cpw.mods.fml.common.event.FMLPreInitializationEvent;
import net.minecraft.entity.player.EntityPlayer;
import net.minecraftforge.event.ForgeSubscribe;
import net.minecraftforge.event.ServerChatEvent;

public class SLChatHandler {

@ForgeSubscribe
public void onChat(ServerChatEvent event){
	if (event.player instanceof EntityPlayer){
		if (event.message.contentEquals("SLEnable")){
			SLMain.Enabled.set(true);
			EntityPlayer player = (EntityPlayer) event.player;
			player.addChatMessage("Shed Light has been enabled.");
			event.setCanceled(true);
		}
		if (event.message.contentEquals("SLDisable")){
			SLMain.Enabled.set(false);
			EntityPlayer player = (EntityPlayer) event.player;
			player.addChatMessage("Shed Light has been disabled.");
			event.setCanceled(true);
		}
	}
}
}

 

 

Why is the Enabled property not changing in the configuration file? By the way, disregard the fact that the

MinecraftForge.EVENT_BUS.register(new SLChatHandler());

was in the postInit instead of the load. I did that in an attempt to troubleshoot something earlier.

Thanks, Clarinetncleats3

Configuration config = new Configuration(some_file_reference);//you'll have to figure this out for yourself

config.get(Configuration.CATEGORY_GENERAL, "Enable this mod?", true).set(false);

Is this what you meant?

 

package comaolevbelcher.ShedLight;

import cpw.mods.fml.common.event.FMLPreInitializationEvent;
import net.minecraft.entity.player.EntityPlayer;
import net.minecraftforge.common.Configuration;
import net.minecraftforge.event.ForgeSubscribe;
import net.minecraftforge.event.ServerChatEvent;

public class SLChatHandler {

@ForgeSubscribe
public void onChat(ServerChatEvent event){
	if (event.player instanceof EntityPlayer){
		if (event.message.contentEquals("SLEnable")){
			SLMain.config.get(Configuration.CATEGORY_GENERAL, "Enable this mod?", false).set(true);
			EntityPlayer player = (EntityPlayer) event.player;
			player.addChatMessage("Shed Light has been enabled.");
			event.setCanceled(true);
		}
		if (event.message.contentEquals("SLDisable")){
			SLMain.config.get(Configuration.CATEGORY_GENERAL, "Enable this mod?", true).set(false);
			EntityPlayer player = (EntityPlayer) event.player;
			player.addChatMessage("Shed Light has been disabled.");
			event.setCanceled(true);
		}
	}
}
}

 

 

... Because it doesn't work.

I don't know, not into Entities.

Uhhh... did you comment on the wrong post? Because your post makes no sense in this context.

Here's some working code that I use

 

Property cw = config.get("WorldGen","dimensionWhitelistList", new int[] {0});
		Property cb = config.get("WorldGen","dimensionBlacklistList", new int[] {-1,1});
		int[] white = cw.getIntList();
		int[] black = cb.getIntList();

		Arrays.sort(white);
		Arrays.sort(black);

		String a=Arrays.toString(white);
		String whitestring[]=a.substring(1,a.length()-1).split(", ");
		String b=Arrays.toString(black);
		String blackstring[]=b.substring(1,b.length()-1).split(", ");

		cw.set(whitestring);
		cb.set(blackstring);

 

It sorts two lists of dimensions so that they're in numerical order.
