Solved Error in copying defaults from config.yml. Can't seem to find the error.

Okay, So I just made a /freeze plugin which also has a config.yml. I was planning on uploading it to BukkitDev, But, I was surprised by this console log error:

Code:

    }

And so I can't seem to find out what's happening. If you need to look at some of the code, Please tell below. The plugin works fine. It's just you have to manually enter config strings as such. Thank you for your help, And time. Regards.

 

The issue is a YML syntax error. Can you show us your configuration file?

 

@mine-care Sure, This is the config. It's very simple but anyways:

Code:

freezeprefix: '&9[&7MinkFreeze&9] '
frozenmessage: '&cYou have been frozen! Join TeamSpeak within 3 minuted, Log out and you will be banned!'

 

@Mindlessmink You need to escape the character, change it to, '&cYou''ve been fr... '

 

@bwfcwalshy what do you mean by "escape the character"? It looks the same to me what you suggested :/

 

@Mindlessmink For every apostrophe that isn't starting or ending the string you need to do 2. '' not '

 

Oh
