Solved Config Problem

I'm trying to make %player% be replaced with player name in the config.

Code:

[17:13:28 ERROR]: [JoinTeleport] Cannot load configuration from jar
org.bukkit.configuration.InvalidConfigurationException: while scanning for the n
ext token

please help me to fix this problem

 

I've had a similar problem in the past. Use <player> instead, and the issue should be fixed.

 

@tkuiyeager1
Just a tip: It's easier for an issue to be solved when you post your code( + config in this case).

 

config line:

Code:

JoinMessage: &b%player% Joiend The Server.

code:
got this from an forum post in the bukkit dev

Code:

String joinmessage = getConfig().getString("JoinMessage").replaceAll("%player", e.getPlayer().getName());

@0ct0berBkkitPlgins its the same problem with: <> and &.

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

@tkuiyeager1
Use .replace instead of .replaceAll. String#replaceAll checks for "regular expressions" while String#replace just replaces plain text. Stuff like %, <> are special characters in replaceAll. Also, try putting the config string in quotes

 

It's still doesnt work, i changed it to replace.
code:

Code:

String joinmessage = getConfig().getString("JoinMessage").replace("<player>", e.getPlayer().getName());

Error:

Edit: I put the correct error and correct code

 

@tkuiyeager1

 

here is the line of the config:

 

As
@megamichiel said I think it is because your config file hasn't got quotes in the JoinMessage bit, try adding them and see what happens

 

@megamichiel thanks it works now.
