Use text files not Yaml files.

My plugin uses a config.yml file with this in it:

Code:YAML

MOTD: Someshit
Use Permissions: true

but i want the MOTD: to be in a MOTD.txt file how can i do this easy?

 

This is done with the java language, not bukkit.

Try checking out this:
http://www.javapractices.com/topic/TopicAction.do?Id=42

And to help,

plugin.getDataFolder()

gives you the directory where the config is stored (you can store your MOTD.txt there)

 

mayby something like:

Code:

		ArrayList<String> motd = new ArrayList<String>();
		RandomAccessFile file = null;
		try
		{
			file = new RandomAccessFile(new File("motd.txt"), "r");
			try
			{
				String line;
				while ((line = file.readLine()) != null)
				{
					motd.add(line);
				}
			}
			catch (EOFException discard)
			{
			}
		}
		catch (IOException ex)
		{
			motd.add("Unable to read the motd.txt, thats why you see this motd.");
			log.log(Level.SEVERE, "Error", ex);
		}
		finally
		{
			if (file != null)
			{
				try
				{
					file.close();
				}
				catch (IOException ex)
				{
					log.log(Level.SEVERE, "Error", ex);
				}
			}
		}

 

Didn't work and if i need atleast that much code I'll wait sometime before i release that

 

Easily done by BufferedReader, FileWriter, PrintWriter and an ArrayList and obviously your main File variablewhich is the motd.txt. I'm on a mobile device, but if you need help. Add me on skype or msn..

the file motd.txt was't existing at the server root?

 

Yes, you don't actually need PrintWriter or FileWriter, I was on the move in the car with a mobile device and was hard to think lol
