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.

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!)

Sweet and simple. Thanks .
