My mod works flawlessly until I try to implement a config file, upon which time, the client crashes upon running, claiming slot 0 is already occupied by another one of my blocks, regardless of how I had intended to set them in the config, and the generated config is blank. Is there some change in 1.5 that I didn't know about that makes this happen?

 

In my @PreInit:

 

Configuration config = new Configuration(event.getSuggestedConfigurationFile());

config.load();

	 //blocks
	 IDRef.ABS_BLOCK_ID = config.getBlock("AbsBlock", IDRef.ABS_BLOCK_IDD).getInt();
	 IDRef.DARK_BLOCK_ID = config.getBlock("DarkBlock", IDRef.DARK_BLOCK_IDD).getInt();
	 IDRef.LIGHT_BLOCK_ID = config.getBlock("LightBlock", IDRef.LIGHT_BLOCK_IDD).getInt();
	 IDRef.HARVESTER_ID = config.getBlock("Harvester", IDRef.HARVESTER_IDD).getInt();
	 IDRef.ABS_COMP_ID = config.getBlock("AbsComp", IDRef.ABS_COMP_IDD).getInt();

	 //items
	 IDRef.ABS_INGOT_ID = config.getItem("AbsIngot", IDRef.ABS_INGOT_IDD).getInt();
	 IDRef.ABS_ROD_ID = config.getItem("AbsRod", IDRef.ABS_ROD_IDD).getInt();
	 IDRef.DARK_BALL_ID = config.getItem("DarkBall", IDRef.DARK_BALL_IDD).getInt();
	 IDRef.DARK_INGOT_ID = config.getItem("DarkIngot", IDRef.DARK_INGOT_IDD).getInt();
	 IDRef.LIGHT_BALL_ID = config.getItem("LightBall", IDRef.LIGHT_BALL_IDD).getInt();
	 IDRef.LIGHT_INGOT_ID = config.getItem("LightIngot", IDRef.LIGHT_INGOT_IDD).getInt();
	 IDRef.UNSTABLE_ABS_ID = config.getItem("UnstableAbs", IDRef.UNSTABLE_ABS_IDD).getInt();

config.save();

 

EDIT: All the "SOMETHING_ID" fields are empty global variables, and "SOMETHING_IDD" are global variables with default ID values.

If this is being called after your blocks are registered? Then it's no wonder; the block's ID is already set to 0.

It was. I just figured it out, and felt REALLY stupid. Sometimes I just need to think things through before I start asking for help all willy nilly. lol

Eh, we all need a poke in the right direction sometimes. Or in any direction, really, because sometimes you'll get an unhelpful answer that still gives you the idea to find out what's wrong.

I have noticed that, as well. And you have been particularly helpful to me, in pretty much every thread I'm involved in, so thanks for that!
