Posted November 4, 201411 yr I have an odd problem that I feel should be easy. I am using Forge's configuration system, and I want to be able to change a value outside of the configuration itself. Let's say I have a boolean in my configuration file that I want to set false outside of the config screen. If I set it to false, it works until the configuration is synced (obviously). When the configuration is synced, it replaces the value with whatever is saved to the .cfg file. Do I have to force write my own value to the .cfg file for it to be preserved? Thanks.
November 4, 201411 yr Yes. Write the value to the file when it is modified. And yes, you can do that. Property cw = config.get("General","myconfig", true); /*do something to it*/ cw.set(new_value); The best part is, you can save your config file reference as a static property (gasp!) and access it from anywhere at any time (shock!) or if absolutely needed, you can use the FileIO classes directly (awe!) Apparently I'm a complete and utter jerk and come to this forum just like to make fun of people, be confrontational, and make your personal life miserable. If you think this is the case, JUST REPORT ME. Otherwise you're just going to get reported when you reply to my posts and point it out, because odds are, I was trying to be nice. Exception: If you do not understand Java, I WILL NOT HELP YOU and your thread will get locked. DO NOT PM ME WITH PROBLEMS. No help will be given.

Sweet and simple. Thanks .
