Config file with tips

Hi, i'm developing MoreThanFish, but i'm having a little insiginficant problem for me, but it can help the users of it.
I want to create a config file like this:

Code:

#Configuration of MoreThanFish Plugin created by mig4ng
 
#General Options
options:
#If you want a different number of rarecatches be sure you change this for whatever is the number of rarecatches you want.
  rarecatches: 3
 
#Each rare drop options
#This plugin uses the following ids: http://jd.bukkit.org/apidocs/org/bukkit/Material.html
#You can use decimals in percentage like '2.5' or '1.3'...
'1':
  percentage: 2.5
  itemid: DIAMOND
  message: '&eYou''ve caught a &bdiamond&e, Lucky You!'
'2':
  percentage: 2.5
  itemid: EMERALD
  message: '&eYou''ve caught a &aEmerald&e!'
'3':
  percentage: 12.3
  itemid: LEATHER_BOOTS
  message: '&eBah... You''ve caught some old &cBoots&e, probably it was from a fisherman.'
#'4';
#  percentage: 12.3
#  itemid: TNT
#  message: '&eThis water is so polluted that you caught a &cTNT.'

But when i put the plugin on plugins folder it creates a config.yml file like this:

Code:

#
#  percentage: 12.3
#  itemid: TNT
#  message: '&eThis water is so polluted that you caught a &cTNT.'
 
options:
  rarecatches: 3
'1':
  percentage: 2.5
  itemid: DIAMOND
  message: '&eYou''ve caught a &bdiamond&e, Lucky You!'
'2':
  percentage: 2.5
  itemid: EMERALD
  message: '&eYou''ve caught a &aEmerald&e!'
'3':
  percentage: 12.3
  itemid: LEATHER_BOOTS
  message: '&eBah... You''ve caught some old &cBoots&e, probably it was from a fisherman.'

I'm using this to create the file:

Code:

    @Override
    public void onDisable() {
        PluginDescriptionFile pdfFile = this.getDescription();
        this.logger.info("[" + pdfFile.getName() + "] " + " Plugin disabled.");
        saveConfig();
    }
   
    @Override
    public void onEnable() {
        PluginDescriptionFile pdfFile = this.getDescription();
        this.logger.info("[" + pdfFile.getName() + "] " + "Plugin Enabled. " + " Version " + pdfFile.getVersion());
        PluginManager pm = getServer().getPluginManager();
        pm.registerEvents(this.pl, this);
        getConfig().options().copyDefaults(true);
        saveConfig();
    }

Also i wanna know why the file can't be modificated while server is oppened, it needs to be off, save and then start the server, so this way i can't use reload for changes.

 

partial answer to the first: reading the actual config and what you want, try a ' ' after the # (without ')

question about the second: where is the config.yml you want to edit located? (just asking)

 

MoreThanFish/config.yml
