Hello again,

 

I have been searching and attempting multiple methods on creating configuration files but I have not succeeded at all. My mod has a version checker and I would like to add a config option to disable it.

 

Does anyone know how to create one?

Try around with this.

      This will create a Configfile if needed (must be in the PreInit of the loading Section.)

        File configFile = new File(Loader.instance().getConfigDir(), "yourConfig.cfg");
        config = new Configuration(configFile);
        config.load();
        Property yourtempvalue = config.get("test", "test value", 100);
        yourValue = yourtempvalue.getInt();
        if(config.hasChanged()){
            config.save();
        }

 

This will load your Value you want. Play around to get Strings and booleans

 

 

I tested it and the File looks like this

# Configuration file

test {
    I:"test value"=100
}

Thank you for the reply, I have some questions.

 

    @EventHandler
    public static void preInit(FMLPreInitializationEvent event)
    {
        File configFile = new File(Loader.instance().getConfigDir(), "keymod.cfg");
        Configuration config = new Configuration(configFile);

        config.load();
        Property update = config.get("Update Checker", "Whether or not the Update Checker runs.", 50);
        if(config.hasChanged())
            config.save();

        proxy.registerKeyBindings();
    }

 

First, does everything go under preInit?

Second, the variables config and update had some errors so I guessed the class for them, are they supposed to be something else?

When I ran the game, under mod options, the config didn't load so I don't know if I did this wrong or not. 

Hey, I truly am thankful for your help, but sadly it isn't working for me, just a reminder, I'm running 1.8.9 so I don't know if things are different or if you are also testing in that version.

This is what I have now,

 

    @EventHandler
    public static void preInit(FMLPreInitializationEvent event) {
        File configFile = new File(Loader.instance().getConfigDir(), "keymod.cfg");
        Configuration config = new Configuration(configFile);
        config.load();
        Property isOn = config.get("test", "test value", 100);
        int update = isOn.getInt();
        if (config.hasChanged()) {
            config.save();

            proxy.registerKeyBindings();
        }
    }

 

I had to make an assumption that the update variable was an int. 
Sadly, once again when loading the game, under mod options, the config button is grayed out.

Ah you want to create ingame..  that works for a File which is placed in your minecraft folder. Sry you should wait for other then me.

, thanks for your help! I really do appreciate it. I guess its time for waiting.

Could you provide logs?
