New configurations help...

so I want to change my plugin to use the new configurations, but it does not work how i want it...

here is the code:

Code:java

public class ClosedDoors extends JavaPlugin {
    FileConfiguration config;
 
    public void onEnable() {
        try {
            config = getConfig();
            config.options().header("Change the values to suit you best");
	    config.get("storm.radius", 20);
	    config.get("storm.repeat", 20);
	    config.get("login.show.motd", true);
	    config.get("login.show.rules", true);
	    config.get("login.show.help", true);
	    saveConfig();
        } catch (Exception e1) {
	    e1.printStackTrace();
	}
    }
}

this code creates a file like this:

Code:

# Change the values to suit you best

how do i get the rest of it?

 

Code:

if(!config.contains("storm.radius")){
    config.set("storm.radius", 20);
}

and then if you need it config.getint("storm.radius")

 

I think he means "How do I do this in a way that doesn't require a billion if() statements."

 

Yeah
With the old you just used config.getint("storm.radius", 20); and there it was...
maybe @Dinnerbone knows how?
But it's fine if there is just a few like i had

 

You mean like providing default values?

 

yeah i dont know why this does not work anymore, cause you can still provide default
it is just not written to the config -_-

and btw - i just recognised the adddefault(....) and options().copydefaults(true)
perhaps it works with copydefaults true ?

 

Just tried and if you do config.options().copyDefaults(true); and use addDefault(whatever the arguments are); and then saveConfig(); it will work and only will set if its not there.

 

I figured it out kinda I just do this and it prints it out onto the config in thos order for once.

Code:

    public void configSetup() {

    try {
        config = getConfig();
        config.set("String here", " default here ");

        config.set("String here ", " default here");
        saveConfig();
    }
     catch (Exception ex) {
        ex.printStackTrace();
    }

    }
