Until now I only've seen configs that are injective (Mod asks for value in category and gets it from file).

 

What I want is more of a reader. Mod starts up, goes to Config and reads infinite list of lists of lists... and puts them into memory.

 

Races:
  Human:
    Shortdesc: String
    Longdesc: String
    SomeValue: int
    SomeValue2: int
  Avatar:
    Shortdesc: String
    Longdesc: String
    SomeValue: int
    SomeValue2: int
  Poop:
    ...
    ...
  ...
Stories:
  Orphan:
    ...
  ...
...

 

Does forge allow reading like this? How would I get list of sub-items in category (eg. all races in "Races") and then all values in each race.

 

Any tuts?

I think NBTTagCompound is the file you are looking for.

You can store values under strings.

If not, can you explain better what you want?

Yeah, but I have to KNOW the category name, So I would have to store all names in some registry string ay?

String: race_list: name,name,name.

 

My exact question would be - can you iterate through list of categories (does forge config have length support?) without caching them first (register like said above)?
