[1.7.2] armor material in configuration file

[thomassu]

hello, i am working on a configuration file and i want to know if it is possible to make a config for armor material:

i tried this:

 

in main class:

 

public static int PeanutHelmetC;

public static int PeanutBodyC;

public static int PeanutPantsC;

public static int PeanutBootsC;

 

public static ArmorMaterial PEANUT = EnumHelper.addArmorMaterial("PEANUT", 10, new int[] { PeanutlHelmetC, PeanutBodyC, PeanutPantsC, PeanutBootsC }, 12);

 

 

in Configuration class:

 

public class PeanutConfigHandler

{

public static void init(File configFile)

{

Configuration config = new Configuration(configFile);

 

config.load();

 

Peanut.PeanutHelmetC = config.get("armor health", "Peanuthelmet", 2).getInt();

Peanut.PeanutBodyC = config.get("armor health", "Peanutbody", 6).getInt();

Peanut.PeanutPantsC = config.get("armor health", "Peanutpants", 4).getInt();

Peanut.PeanutBootsC = config.get("armor health", "Peanutboots", 1).getInt();

 

config.save();

}

}

 

 

 

 

but  this doesnt work...  ):

anyone knows what i have to do?

Where do you call the init method in your Configuration class?

[thomassu]

the config itself is working very good, it also has it default numbers, but it doesnt work

You need to initialize your armor material after the configuration settings are loaded, if you want them to be applied.

Ok, i've put this:

public static int PeanutHelmetC;

public static int PeanutBodyC;

public static int PeanutPantsC;

public static int PeanutBootsC;

 

public static ArmorMaterial PEANUT = EnumHelper.addArmorMaterial("PEANUT", 10, new int[] { PeanutlHelmetC, PeanutBodyC, PeanutPantsC, PeanutBootsC }, 12);

 

 

at the bottom of the main class but it still doesnt work );

You should learn Java before you start modding...

Just because you put that now at the bottom doesn't mean it gets called after all methods in the class.

Just because you put that now at the bottom doesn't mean it gets called after all methods in the class.

Aside: static initializers actually do get called in the order they appear in the code, according to Java docs: "The runtime system guarantees that static initialization blocks are called in the order that they appear in the source code." While that refers specifically to static blocks, it's true for all static initializations. More info.

 

@OP That doesn't negate the fact that you are doing it incorrectly. Your static PeanutPartC fields are all unitialized when you attempt to use them, which is something you should know as part of fundamental Java basics. As SanAndreasP suggests, I recommend you start there.

 

Your values need to be read from the config, correct? Whereever your config sets those values (i.e. in a method body) is where you need to put your ArmorMaterial initialization.

 

public static ArmorMaterial PEANUT = EnumHelper.OOPS. Config values have not been read here!!!

// declare:
public static ArmorMaterial PEANUT;

@EventHandler
public void preInit(FMLPreInitializationEvent event) {
// Config is read here

// Sweet, now the values should be set, and it is safe to initialize
PEANUT = EnumHelper.SUCCESS!
}

Indeed, you could look at all static initialization stuff in your class as a huge classload-initialization method.

whatever guys it is working the last thing i did wrong was that i put the config in the wrong initilazation event

but now it is working.

thanks!!
