Reading data from config

[DarkEyeDragon]

How would i get data from the config?

This is what i tried. It only seems to get the default values though.

public static void syncConfig() {
        ConfigManager.sync(MODID, Config.Type.INSTANCE);
        overrideDefaultScreenshotKey = config.getBoolean(Configuration.CATEGORY_GENERAL, "Override", false, "");
        saveScreenshot = config.getBoolean(Configuration.CATEGORY_GENERAL, "Save", true, "Set to true if you want your screenshots to save locally and upload to Imgur. Only has effect if Override is set to true");
        System.out.println(overrideDefaultScreenshotKey+":"+saveScreenshot);
    }

# Configuration file

general {
    # Override the default screenshotkey
    B:Override=true

    # Set to true if you want your screenshots to save locally and upload to Imgur. Only has effect if Override is set to true
    B:Save=true
}

I believe the problem is that you passing the Category first, and the value you want as 2nd parameter. Isn't it the other way around?

 

ConfigValues.showLog = configuration.getBoolean("showLog", CATEGORY_GENERAL, ConfigValues.showLog, "Shows info logs");

Wow i feel so stupid now
Changing it also didnt work though.

 

public static void syncConfig() {
        ConfigManager.sync(MODID, Config.Type.INSTANCE);
        overrideDefaultScreenshotKey = config.getBoolean("B:Override", Configuration.CATEGORY_GENERAL, false, "Override the default screenshotkey");
        saveScreenshot = config.getBoolean("B:Save", Configuration.CATEGORY_GENERAL, true, "Set to true if you want your screenshots to save locally and upload to Imgur. Only has effect if Override is set to true");
        System.out.println(overrideDefaultScreenshotKey+":"+saveScreenshot);
    }

I tried with and without the B:
also tried the .sync before and after. No luck so far.

Try all lowercase?

Can you also post the whole class, and where it's been called? Thanks.
