Weird Config Formatting Error

So, I was developing a plugin with BarAPI and I got everything working, and I made the bar appear onPlayerJoin. I added config support, but when you format it in the config, it comes out with the attached image. My code is:

Code:java

package io.github.Tudedude100;
 
import me.confuser.barapi.BarAPI;
 
import org.bukkit.Bukkit;
import org.bukkit.command.Command;
import org.bukkit.command.CommandSender;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.event.EventHandler;
import org.bukkit.event.Listener;
import org.bukkit.event.player.PlayerJoinEvent;
import org.bukkit.plugin.PluginDescriptionFile;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;
 
public class AB extends JavaPlugin implements Listener{
 
public void onEnable(){
PluginDescriptionFile p = this.getDescription();
Bukkit.getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(this, this);
getLogger().info("AnnounceBars v" + p.getVersion() + " has been woken up. Goooood morning!");
this.saveDefaultConfig();
saveConfig();
}
public void onDisable(){
getLogger().info("AnnounceBars has gone to sleep. Good night.");
}
public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String label, String[] args){
if(cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("ab")){
PluginDescriptionFile p = this.getDescription();
sender.sendMessage("§6§lAnnounceBars §2v" + p.getVersion()+" §3was developed by §4§lTudedude.\n" +
"§3Current release was last updated at: §21/6/2014 9:30pm §6- §4(-08)\n" +
"§4§lAll plugin functions are automatic. There are no commands.");
return true;
}
return false;
}
@EventHandler
public void onPlayerJoin(PlayerJoinEvent e){
Player p = e.getPlayer();
String abMessage = getConfig().getString("abMessage");
ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', abMessage);
BarAPI.hasBar(p);
BarAPI.setHealth(p, 100);
BarAPI.setMessage(p, abMessage);
}
}

Thank you in advance for any help!

 

What is the abMessage variable created?

 

Have you declared the variable abMessage?

 

Haha, sorry, I believe I grabbed code from in between versions, I will update the code.
The abMessage string is grabbed from the config.yml file.

 

Something:
If you want custom chat colors, why not just do ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', String s);
Actually, that might fix the problem

Thank you for the quick response, but when I tried that it didn't work. It still comes out with this.

Edit: This is using the Faithful 32x32 pack. The normal symbol looks like this: http://forums.bukkit.org/attachments/2014-01-12_12-19-16-png.17321/

 

Remove
.replace("&", "§");

 

I did, I just didn't update the code. I will do that.

 

Bump, still isn't fixed
