YAML file won't generate correctly

Hello everyone, me again

This time, my problem is that the config.yml is blank after being. generated

Source

Again, this is not all my work, I've only changed a few lines.

 

You're just putting the values into a hashmap but you're not doing anything with them.

You need to do:

PHP:

Configuration config = new Configuration(yml);
config.setproperty("Your.property", "Your_Value");
config.save();

 

I'm new to java so cut me some slack

PHP:

try {
    yml.createNewFile();
    Configuration config = new Configuration(yml);
    config.setProperty("Mode", "Static Amount");
    config.setProperty("Static-amount", "20");
    config.save();

    pconfig.put("Mode", getConfiguration().getString("Mode", "percentage"));
    pconfig.put("Maxamount", getConfiguration().getString("Max-Amount", "25"));
    pconfig.put("Minamount", getConfiguration().getString("Min-Amount", "1"));
    pconfig.put("static", getConfiguration().getString("Static-amount", "5"));
    pconfig.put("MaxP", getConfiguration().getString("Max-Percentage", "25"));
    pconfig.put("MinP", getConfiguration().getString("Min-Percentage", "5"));
    pconfig.put("Percentage", getConfiguration().getString("Percentage", "10"));
    pconfig.put("Dead", getConfiguration().getString("Dead-msg", "You lose %n for being killed by %a"));
    pconfig.put("Attacker", getConfiguration().getString("Attacker-msg", "You earn %n for killing %d"));
    }

This is giving me NullPointers

I also tried this below, still getting NullPointers.

Code:

try {
    yml.createNewFile();
    Configuration config = new Configuration(yml);
    config.setProperty(pconfig.get("Mode"), "Static Amount");
    config.setProperty(pconfig.get("static"), "20");
    config.save();

    pconfig.put("Mode", getConfiguration().getString("Mode", "percentage"));
    pconfig.put("static", getConfiguration().getString("Static-amount", "5"));
    pconfig.put("Maxamount", getConfiguration().getString("Max-Amount", "25"));
    pconfig.put("Minamount", getConfiguration().getString("Min-Amount", "1"));
    pconfig.put("MaxP", getConfiguration().getString("Max-Percentage", "25"));
    pconfig.put("MinP", getConfiguration().getString("Min-Percentage", "5"));
    pconfig.put("Percentage", getConfiguration().getString("Percentage", "10"));
    pconfig.put("Dead", getConfiguration().getString("Dead-msg", "You lose %n for being killed by %a"));
    pconfig.put("Attacker", getConfiguration().getString("Attacker-msg", "You earn %n for killing %d"));
    }

I'm sorry if I'm stupid, I just don't know much java.

 

I wasn't trying to be mean, simply pointing out what was wrong.

So why are you still loading this into a a hashmap?

And please post your error.

 

Lol, No I was just being mean to myself. Damn, tone is hard to read over the interwebs.

That's the way the original dev did it, so I left it. Plus, I have never used one before, so I didn't want to touch it.

And here's some more of the source: Click

 

its because ur not doing config.save() after all the put statements.

 

@cronikkk
@Adamki11s
Ok I redid the configs going by @captainawesome7 's tutorial

iConomyPunga.java
Entitylistener.java

Now I'm getting this error when I'm killed during PvP.

 

This should fix it, i didn't compile it though so there may be some other errors too.
EntityListener.java

Edit: re click the link i changed it again.
