[config] submenu's and disabling buttons

[DarkEyeDragon]

Hello,

 

How would you create a submenu in 1.12.2 using the config annotations?

 

I currently have
 

@Config(modid = ScreenshotMain.MODID)
@Config.LangKey("main.config.title")
public class ModConfig{


    @Config.Name("Override")
    @Config.Comment("Override the default screenshotkey, This will cause images to save and upload. ")
    public static boolean Override = false;

    @Config.Name("CopyToClipboard")
    @Config.Comment("Set to true if you want to copy the link to your clipboard")
    public static boolean SaveScreenshots = true;

    @Config.Name("Use Custom Server")
    @Config.Comment("Set to true if you wan to use your own webserver")
    public static boolean CustomServer = false;

    @Config.Name("Link")
    @Config.Comment("Set the link to your image server")
    public static String server = "";
}

 

Screenshot: http://prntscr.com/j0upq2

 

this all works, but how would i make a submenu under a button "settings" and place more options under that?
and additionally, make that button unclickable/disabled if "Use Custom Server" is set to false.

 

Also i noticed that Use Custom Server is always at the top even though its set last in the code? Any idea why that is?

To make a subsection in-game you'll need to make a subclass ModConfig.Category and annotate it with @Config(modid="<Your modid>", category="Category Name").

If you do this I would recommend adding [name="modid/category"] to all of your config classes. You can see how I did it here.

 

@Config in the Forge docs.

Additional note: I believe the order is based on the variables rather than their @Config.Name, as CustomServer starts with C and there is no A or B variables it is bumped to the top.

Okay so i managed to do that.

 

However, now i get 2 config files. Not really a big deal on its own. But to keep things clean it put them in a sub directory.

 

What would be the best way to get/load/edit those config files?

 

@Mod.EventHandler
public void preInit(FMLPreInitializationEvent event){
  File configDir = event.getModConfigurationDirectory();
  //What do i do now?
  
  
  //Do i still need this?
  ConfigManager.sync(MODID, Config.Type.INSTANCE);
}

@SubscribeEvent
    public static void OnConfigChanged(ConfigChangedEvent.OnConfigChangedEvent event) {
        if (event.getModID().equals(MOD_ID)) {
          ConfigManager.sync(MOD_ID, Config.Type.INSTANCE);
        }
}

is what you're looking for

It never seems to trigger(I just added it to my main class). Also my config files are located in

config/ScreenshotUploader

 

Are you sure this is how to do it?

[DaemonUmbra]

Remember you'll need to register it to the event bus for it to fire.

 

 

aaaaand I'm dumb, that fires when the in-game config editor gets closed, you'll need to call sync in preInit as well, sorry.

@Mod.EventHandler
    public void preInit(FMLPreInitializationEvent event){
        ConfigManager.sync(MODID, Config.Type.INSTANCE);
    }

@Mod.EventHandler
    public void init(FMLInitializationEvent event)
    {
        MinecraftForge.EVENT_BUS.register(new KeyPressEvent());
        MinecraftForge.EVENT_BUS.register(new CustomScreenshotEvent());
        MinecraftForge.EVENT_BUS.register(new ModConfig());
        MinecraftForge.EVENT_BUS.register(new ConfigChanged());

        keybinds.RegisterKeybinds();
    }

public class ConfigChanged{
    @SubscribeEvent
    public static void OnConfigChanged(ConfigChangedEvent.OnConfigChangedEvent event) {
        if (event.getModID().equals(ScreenshotMain.MODID)) {
            ConfigManager.sync(ScreenshotMain.MODID, Config.Type.INSTANCE);
            System.out.println("Triggered Configchange");
        }
    }
}

Thats what i'm doing right now.

 

However i noticed this not working before (used a workaround). Could this be somemthing with Forge?

[DaemonUmbra]

Seems I was wrong about calling it in preInit, from forge inline docs: 

Note, that this method is being called by the {@link FMLModContaier}, so the mod needn't call it in init().

Oh well, live and learn
