Configuration File is not generating

[DealerJoe]

Hi, it´s DealerJoe again! 

 

Okay guys, got a new problem. I´ve been looking around in other mod´s source for about 2 hours now, but I couldn´t

figure out what I´m doing wrong.

Now my Problem : I want to generate a config file, so I created a method called loadConfiguration, put @PreInit above and added the event. Then I created the variables for the id´s of items and blocks.

 

Here my Source :

 

@PreInit
public void loadConfiguration(FMLPreInitializationEvent evt) {
	Configuration config = new Configuration(new File(evt.getModConfigurationDirectory(),  "FarmersFriends.cfg"));
	config.load();

	blockChopperID = config.getOrCreateIntProperty("blockChopperID", Configuration.CATEGORY_BLOCK, 250).getInt();
	blockToasterID = config.getOrCreateIntProperty("blockToasterID", Configuration.CATEGORY_BLOCK, 251).getInt();

	chopperID = config.getOrCreateIntProperty("itemChopperID", Configuration.CATEGORY_ITEM, 5000).getInt();
	sawmealID = config.getOrCreateIntProperty("sawmealID", Configuration.CATEGORY_ITEM, 5001).getInt();
	scytheID = config.getOrCreateIntProperty("scytheID", Configuration.CATEGORY_ITEM, 5002).getInt();
	scytheBloodyID = config.getOrCreateIntProperty("bloodyScytheID", Configuration.CATEGORY_ITEM, 5003).getInt();
	toasterID = config.getOrCreateIntProperty("itemToasterID", Configuration.CATEGORY_ITEM, 5004).getInt();

	config.save();
}

 

I don´t now whats wrong with it. If you guys miss some parts of the src, I´m gonna post it.

Hope you can help me.

Try using new File(Minecraft.getMinecraftDir(), "config/FarmersFriends.cfg")

Should work, byt don't use @preinit more than once in the mod class.

I cant do that because Minecraft.getMinecraftDir() doesn´t work on servers and this is an SMP mod, so thats not working.

And what do you mean with

 

don't use @preinit more than once in the mod class.

 

This is the only method I´m using this Flag.

 

Any other Idea ?

Step through it, see where it fails, it should attempt to create the file if it doesnt exist.

If it cant do that for some reason it'll exit earily, so, you should look into it.

Okay, I did so.

When I set the breakpoint to the beginning of the loadConfiguration-Method, I noticed, that it´s not even called.

Do you know why or how I can fix it ?

It would have to be in your mod class, and then logs would be needed, need a lot more information then you're giving.

Thanks for your help !

[LexManos]

Well no shit you're getting issues, this is a vary basic issue that you shouldn't of even came here asking about.

You're STATICALLY initalizing your blocks/items, which in of itself is stupid. But beyond that, happens BEFORE your config is loaded, so you can't use your config values -.-

there are different state events for a reason.

[DealerJoe]

Oh Shit, you´re right.

Sorry for waisting your time  :'(, but I just didn´t see that issue. I should have had looked into the code much better.

But there is one more question, why is it stupid to add a static-modifier when initializing the blocks or items ? 

 

But thank you anyway.

 

DealerJoe

[LexManos]

statically declaring it isnt the issue, its the initalization in the static/constructor. Obviously it happens FIRST, which is bad because you can't do things before FIRST.
