Problem with making a configuration file!

[sartharis]

So I made a config file using a few tutorials, but it doesn't seem to work. It appears and everything, but when I change the numbers, nothing changes.

 

Here are the two files:

 

mod_Goblins (Only the important part shown):

 

 static
   {
   GOBLINmodHelper.initProps();
}

  //Blocks---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   //public static final Block fireplace = new GOBLINBlockFireplace(200, 0).setHardness(1F).setResistance(1F).setBlockName("fireplace");
   public static final Block MobGSpawner = new GOBLINBlockMobGSpawner(GOBLINmodHelper.MobGSpawnerBlockID, 0, GOBLINmodHelper.SpawnerRandSpawnrate1).setHardness(4F).setResistance(1F).setBlockName("BlockMobGSpawner");
   public static final Block MobGRSpawner = new GOBLINBlockMobGRSpawner(GOBLINmodHelper.MobGRSpawnerBlockID, 0,GOBLINmodHelper.SpawnerRandSpawnrate2).setHardness(4F).setResistance(1F).setBlockName("BlockMobGRSpawner");
   public static final Block MobGMSpawner = new GOBLINBlockMobGMSpawner(GOBLINmodHelper.MobGMSpawnerBlockID, 0, GOBLINmodHelper.SpawnerRandSpawnrate3).setHardness(4F).setResistance(1F).setBlockName("BlockMobGMSpawner");      
   public static final Block VillageSpawn = new GOBLINBlockVillageSpawn (GOBLINmodHelper.VillageSpawnBlockID,1).setHardness(0.1F).setResistance(1F).setBlockName("VillageSpawn").setLightValue(0.65F);
   public static final Block ETNT = new GOBLINBlockETNT (GOBLINmodHelper.ETNTBlockID,2).setHardness(0.0F).setBlockName("ETNT").setLightValue(0.65F);
   public static final Block MTNT = new GOBLINBlockMTNT (GOBLINmodHelper.MTNTBlockID,5).setHardness(0.0F).setBlockName("MTNT").setLightValue(0.8F);
   public static final Block totemR = new GOBLINBlockTotemR (GOBLINmodHelper.totemRBlockID,.setHardness(3.5F).setResistance(20F).setBlockName("totemR").setLightValue(0.65F);
   public static final Block totemB = new GOBLINBlockTotemB (GOBLINmodHelper.totemBBlockID,10).setHardness(3.5F).setResistance(20F).setBlockName("totemB").setLightValue(0.5F);
   public static final Block totemG = new GOBLINBlockTotemG (GOBLINmodHelper.totemGBlockID,12).setHardness(3.5F).setResistance(20F).setBlockName("totemG").setLightValue(0.5F);
   public static final Block totemY = new GOBLINBlockTotemY (GOBLINmodHelper.totemYBlockID,14).setHardness(3.5F).setResistance(20F).setBlockName("totemY").setLightValue(0.65F);
   public static final Block gobDrum = new GOBLINBlockGobDrum (GOBLINmodHelper.gobDrumBlockID).setHardness(0.8F).setBlockName("gobDrum").setRequiresSelfNotify();
   public static final Block gobStone = new GOBLINBlockGobStone(GOBLINmodHelper.gobStoneBlockID,16).setHardness(1.5F).setResistance(10F).setBlockName("gobStone");
   //public static final Block gobSlabStone = new BlockGobSlabStone(213, 0).setHardness(2.0F).setResistance(10F).setBlockName("gobSlabStone");
   public static final Block gobSlabWood = new GOBLINBlockGobSlabWood(GOBLINmodHelper.gobSlabWoodBlockID, 17).setHardness(2.0F).setResistance(10F).setBlockName("gobSlabWood");
    

 

And GOBLINmodHelper:

        try
        {
            newFile.createNewFile();
            System.out.println("Successfully created/read Integer.parseInt(configuration file");
        }
        catch (IOException e)

Not only is your variable naming horrible, your code placement is horrible.

Anyways Why are you initalizing everything in the static initalizer?

Move it to load or modsloaded like a good boy.

[sartharis]

You didn't have to reply. You could ignore my post and someone else would solve my problem. Instead, you chose not to solve my problem, but to write un-constructive critiscism about my code. And to top that off, you didn't solve the problem either. When I posted my problem on the minecraft forum, I got an immediate fix (I asked here first, because I thought people who go on this forum all use and know how to use Forge). I assume you just wanted to offend me for no reason.

 

I don't understand what inclined you to post this. Is it that I put my question in a wrong section, and you wanted to insult me because of that? Or are you a dick to everyone who has a problem? Now, if you wrote some constructive critiscism ("like, your variable naming is bad because x", instead of "it sucks because I said so"), I wouldn't care that much, because I would learn something new.

 

Also, why did you write : "Move it to load or modsloaded like a good boy." Just because you wrote some API, doesn't mean you are better than the people who have problems here.

 

Don't get me wrong, I don't want to start a flame war (I'm deleting my account after this, because I sure I won't get any support here). I just want you to realize that you are a dick.

I'm sincerely sorry that you got a bad first impression of this forum.

Someone doesn't have a thick skin.

 

His reply did tell you EXACTLY how to fix it - you were initialising the blocks before the ID's had even had chance to be read. He did solve your problem, you just chose to ignore that part just because you felt his tongue in cheek reply was insulting you.

Exactly, never initialize statically, always initialize in the loaded callback.

And this ladies and gentlemen is how you get banned!

Quit being a insufferable twat, as they said I DID help you and give you the answer.
