config.yml keeps resetting?

I've been working with some config files lately and every time I edit the config and reload the server, it seems to reset it back the the one I had.

 

Are they config files for plugins, your server, or your own plugin you are making? If it's the first one, we can't help with that on the Bukkit forums.

 

It's for my personal plugin that I am making.

Code:java

String tag = getConfig().getString("tag");
                        player.sendMessage(tag);

That's how I grab the config.
This is how I get my config loaded.

Code:java

public void onEnable()
  {
    PluginDescriptionFile p = getDescription();
    this.logger.info(p.getName() + " v" + p.getVersion() + " was turned on.");
    getConfig().options().copyDefaults(true);
    saveConfig();
  }
 
public void onDisable()
  {
    PluginDescriptionFile p = getDescription();
    this.logger.info(p.getName() + " v" + p.getVersion() + " was shut off.");
    getConfig().options().copyDefaults(true);
    saveConfig();
  }

 

you should check to see if the file exists before copying defaults

 

It does, because the string still gets the info. When I use the command, I get a response back.

 

I mean on the onEnable
something like this:

Code:java

if (!new File(getDataFolder(), "config.yml").exists()) {
              saveDefaultConfig();
        }

 

Still does not work. It's whenever I changed line in the config, it'll say the config has been changed and needs to reload back to the original.

 

try this?

Code:

    public void onEnable()
    {
    PluginDescriptionFile p = getDescription();
    this.logger.info(p.getName() + " v" + p.getVersion() + " was turned on.");
    if(!new File(getDataFolder(), "config.yml").exists()) {
        saveDefaultConfig();
    }
    }
   
    public void onDisable()
    {
    PluginDescriptionFile p = getDescription();
    this.logger.info(p.getName() + " v" + p.getVersion() + " was shut off.");
    }

 

Ahh, thankyou. It works now.
