How can i use Config Colors ??

so because no one can soul my problem onhttp://forums.bukkit.org/threads/config-colors.81028/
i gonna ask it different
how can i use Config colors ?

 

this will convert a text with &-colorcodes to a text whit colors

Code:

String yourText = path in config
String convertedText = ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', yourText);

for example:
"&6This is an &lexample" in config will be converted to "This is an example"

If this is not the answer you are looking for; Please describe your problem better (not in only six words).

 

how can i do that with a list
because i hava a command rules like on the site i send on this topic

 

I just realized there was a method for this...... I'd been writing my own methods to do this in the past.... I guess my methods were more flexible permissions-wise, though.

Code:

        for (String s : list){
            String converted = ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', s);
            player.sendMessage(s);
        }

 

no i keep getting null but you don't use converted where do i need that?

 

My bad, converted is the message that should be sent to the player, not the string s. And if you're getting Null, make sure you've renamed everything to what it should be. I doubt you called your List "list", and sending the player a message might not be what you want to do. If you haven't assigned a value to player(e.g. if you're in onCommand), it could be null. Maybe you want to do a sender.sendMessage(converted), or something like that.

 

yeah i have checked everything but when i do the command i get the string rules so with the command there's nothing whrong only when i add a color code like &6 the string i placed after the &6 changed to null like that i think there is something else i do whrong maby something in my main class because without i do the command only if i reload the server the string changes to null

before

Code:

Rules:
- null
- Rule2
- null
- &6rule4
- rule5
- rule6

when i reload the server
Rules:
- null
- Rule2
- null
- null
- rule5
- rule6

 

place strings inside '' &is an spacial toen for YML

 

I have deleted my commandclass and when i reload the server the string in the config still changes to null
so there's nothing with my commandclass
there need to be something with my main class

no still wont work now i get that
and the first line i don't get in game please help

Code:

Example:
  list:
    path:
    - '&6null'
    - Rule2
    - Rule3
    - rule4
    - rule5
    - rule6

When adding to the config list, try this:

Code:

list.add("\u0026" + "6Rule1");

 

no doesn't work

 

Code:

package tk.theguynextdoor.runenextdoor;
 
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;
 
import org.bukkit.Bukkit;
import org.bukkit.ChatColor;
import org.bukkit.command.Command;
import org.bukkit.command.CommandSender;
import org.bukkit.configuration.file.FileConfiguration;
import org.bukkit.plugin.PluginManager;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;
 
public class RuneNextDoor extends JavaPlugin {
    String[] rules = { "one", "&4Derp" };
 
    @Override
    public void onEnable() {
        FileConfiguration config = getConfig();
        config.addDefault("rules", Arrays.asList(rules));
        config.options().copyDefaults(true);
        saveConfig();
    }
 
    @Override
    public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command command, String label, String[] args) {
        if (command.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("rules")) {
            for (String string : getConfig().getStringList("rules")) {
                sender.sendMessage(ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', string));
            }
            return true;
        }
        return false;
    }
 
}

This works as expected. Now for the example from another class.

This is my main class

Code:

package tk.theguynextdoor.runenextdoor;
 
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;
 
import org.bukkit.Bukkit;
import org.bukkit.ChatColor;
import org.bukkit.command.Command;
import org.bukkit.command.CommandSender;
import org.bukkit.configuration.file.FileConfiguration;
import org.bukkit.plugin.PluginManager;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;
 
public class RuneNextDoor extends JavaPlugin {
    String[] rules = { "one", "&4Derp" };
 
    @Override
    public void onEnable() {
        PluginManager pm = getServer().getPluginManager();
        pm.registerEvents(new RuneListener(this), this);
 
        FileConfiguration config = getConfig();
        config.addDefault("rules", Arrays.asList(rules));
        config.options().copyDefaults(true);
        saveConfig();
    }
 
    @Override
    public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command command, String label, String[] args) {
        if (command.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("rules")) {
            for (String string : getConfig().getStringList("rules")) {
                sender.sendMessage(ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', string));
            }
            return true;
        }
        return false;
    }
 
}

This is my listener.

Code:

package tk.theguynextdoor.runenextdoor;
 
import org.bukkit.ChatColor;
import org.bukkit.block.Sign;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.event.EventHandler;
import org.bukkit.event.EventPriority;
import org.bukkit.event.Listener;
import org.bukkit.event.block.SignChangeEvent;
import org.bukkit.event.player.PlayerJoinEvent;
 
public class RuneListener implements Listener {
    public RuneNextDoor plugin;
 
    public RuneListener(RuneNextDoor instance) {
        plugin = instance;
    }
   
    @EventHandler
    public void join(PlayerJoinEvent e){
        for(String string : plugin.getConfig().getStringList("rules")){
            e.getPlayer().sendMessage(ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', string));
        }
    }
}

And if you have a command executor from another class (this also includes adding to the list)

main class:

Code:

package tk.theguynextdoor.runenextdoor;
 
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;
 
import org.bukkit.Bukkit;
import org.bukkit.ChatColor;
import org.bukkit.command.Command;
import org.bukkit.command.CommandSender;
import org.bukkit.configuration.file.FileConfiguration;
import org.bukkit.plugin.PluginManager;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;
 
public class RuneNextDoor extends JavaPlugin {
 
    String[] rules = { "one", "&4Derp" };
 
    @Override
    public void onEnable() {
        PluginManager pm = getServer().getPluginManager();
        pm.registerEvents(new RuneListener(this), this);
 
        FileConfiguration config = getConfig();
 
        config.addDefault("rules", Arrays.asList(rules));
        config.options().copyDefaults(true);
        saveConfig();
 
        getCommand("rules").setExecutor(new RulesCommand(this));
    }
}

and my RulesCommand class looks like this:

Code:

package tk.theguynextdoor.runenextdoor;
 
import java.util.List;
 
import org.bukkit.ChatColor;
import org.bukkit.command.Command;
import org.bukkit.command.CommandExecutor;
import org.bukkit.command.CommandSender;
 
public class RulesCommand implements CommandExecutor {
    RuneNextDoor plugin;
 
    public RulesCommand(RuneNextDoor instance) {
        plugin = instance;
    }
 
    @Override
    public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String label, String[] args) {
        if (args.length == 0) {
            for (String s : plugin.getConfig().getStringList("rules")) {
                sender.sendMessage(ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', s));
            }
            return true;
        }
        else if (args.length == 2) {
            if (args[0].equalsIgnoreCase("add")) {
                List<String> cRules = plugin.getConfig().getStringList("rules");
                cRules.add(args[1]);
 
                plugin.getConfig().set("rules", cRules);
                return true;
            }
        }
        return false;
    }
 
}

If i have misunderstood the question, or you have other questions please say

 

WOW thanks a lot man so the only thing i do whrong was the ' in front and afther the string?

 

Where do you mean?

 

in the config the only problem i got when i do /rules nothing shows up only if i send a message before for (.....

 

I tested all the code i sent you before i sent it. If you were to copy and paste it all (and put a valid plugin.yml (with the command in it if you are using that)) then it should work without any troubles.

If that still fails. Paste all of your code here so i can look at it, along with plugin.yml

 

i got it to work thanks a lot man
but now i need to place everything in my config between ' ' ?

 

Can you show me your plugin.yml, the config this creates, and the result of using it?
Because it mainly looks to be fine

 

yeah i got it to work but something more

when i use

PHP:

        config.options().header("go to our wiki to get the color codes on http://dracinis.wikia.com/wiki/Colors_Codes" +
                "Here you can place your own rules change Rule 1 to a rule" +
                "Everything MUST be between the '    ' ");

how can i get it in the config under eachother because now everything is on one line

 

Not needed to do this myself, but try and input the new line character where you want a new line

the new line character is \n

 

thanks a lot man

you're good in configs so i have a other question
is it possible that players can do like onPlayerJoin that the can set something like playerName and that the code gets the displayname?
