[1.8] get assets file path for FileIO

[Failender]

Hey guys,

I am triing to save data in text files and read them at runtime.

My problem right now is that I want this to work in dev environment and "playing" environment without changing code.

So what I tried is

 

ResourceLocation loc = new ResourceLocation("minigames:maps");		
File file = new File(loc.getResourcePath());
System.out.println(file.getAbsolutePath());

 

But this throws me inside the eclipse folder, which I tried to NOT do.

Which is the thing I need to use here?

Hi

 

Where do you want the data to be saved?  in the saved game folder?

 

If so-

CommonProxy::
  /**
   * Obtains the folder that world save backups should be stored in.
   * For Integrated Server, this is the saves folder
   * For Dedicated Server, a new 'backupsaves' folder is created in the same folder that contains the world save directory
   * @return the folder where backup saves should be created
   */
  public abstract Path getOrCreateSaveBackupsFolder() throws IOException;

ClientProxy::
  @Override
  public Path getOrCreateSaveBackupsFolder() throws IOException {
    return new File(Minecraft.getMinecraft().mcDataDir, "saves").toPath();
  }

DedicatedServerProxy::
  @Override
  public Path getOrCreateSaveBackupsFolder() throws IOException {
    Path universeFolder = FMLServerHandler.instance().getSavesDirectory().toPath();
    Path backupsFolder = universeFolder.resolve(SpeedyToolsOptions.nameForSavesBackupFolder());
    if (!Files.exists(backupsFolder)) {
      Files.createDirectory(backupsFolder);
    }
    return backupsFolder;
  }

I want to get the path of the assets folder for read only tasks.

I am storing data there and want to read that on server initializing to store the data in arrays.

So I want what in eclipse is assets.minigames.maps

Hi

 

You could use the resource manager to open your file as a stream, you don't need to worry about absolute paths at all then, just give it your domain

 

eg from SoundHandler:

            final SoundList.SoundEntry soundentry = (SoundList.SoundEntry)iterator.next();
            String s = soundentry.getSoundEntryName();
            ResourceLocation resourcelocation1 = new ResourceLocation(s);
            final String s1 = s.contains(":") ? resourcelocation1.getResourceDomain() : p_147693_1_.getResourceDomain();
            Object object;

            switch (SoundHandler.SwitchType.field_148765_a[soundentry.getSoundEntryType().ordinal()])
            {
                case 1:
                    ResourceLocation resourcelocation2 = new ResourceLocation(s1, "sounds/" + resourcelocation1.getResourcePath() + ".ogg");
                    InputStream inputstream = null;

                    try
                    {
                        inputstream = this.mcResourceManager.getResource(resourcelocation2).getInputStream();
                    }
                    catch (FileNotFoundException filenotfoundexception)
                    {
                        logger.warn("File {} does not exist, cannot add it to event {}", new Object[] {resourcelocation2, p_147693_1_});
                        continue;
                    }
                    catch (IOException ioexception)
                    {
                        logger.warn("Could not load sound file " + resourcelocation2 + ", cannot add it to event " + p_147693_1_, ioexception);
                        continue;
                    }
                    finally
                    {
                        IOUtils.closeQuietly(inputstream);
                    }

I feel like I dont understood the ResourceLocation 100% right now.

It is not taking me to the assets folder, but to total nonsense. I am using this right now, the method is called with the arg "archer" (which is the name of the "map" to look for)

 

[13:05:43] [Client thread/INFO] [sTDERR]: [java.lang.Throwable$WrappedPrintStream:println:-1]: java.io.FileNotFoundException: minigames:maps/archer.fail

 

private static int[][][] readFile(String key)
{
	ResourceLocation loc = new ResourceLocation("minigames:maps/"+key+".fail");
	try {
		InputStream stream = Minecraft.getMinecraft().getResourceManager().getResource(new ResourceLocation("minigames" ,"maps/"+key+".fail")).getInputStream();
			ObjectInputStream in = new ObjectInputStream(stream);
		int[][][] ret = (int[][][]) in.readObject();
		in.close();
		return ret;
	} catch (Exception e) {
		e.printStackTrace();
		throw new RuntimeException("Critical error loading File");
	}


}
