you could try to add .toml support.
it's indeed possible with the Blocky system MCreator uses.
Since Players use NBTTags/Capabilities to make configs with your plugin this causes way to much issues on Client/Server side modpacks. i really recommend to add this so CurseForge is not Cursed anymore by MCreator mod which doesn't support anything. i'll probably make a post on request forum .. since there a few things which really needs to be changed.
Any potential compatibility with the 1.12.2 generator plugin?
I know many don't like 1.12 mods here but I want to make an addon for the newly released 1.12 port of MineFantasy that uses JSON files to edit recipes
Simply put, I want to use this plugin to make a recipe editing GUI for MineFantasy Reforged
Hey,
I think there's an mistake in File.mkdirs(); method.
File object is a directory and not a file.
As the result of this program creates a folder named file.json instead of file with json expansion xdd.
You can change it to something like:
File file = new File(filePath);
file.getParentFile().mkdirs();
Sorry, my small mistake.
Yes, file variable is file or directory.
But mkdirs() method is only directory so when you want to create file AND new folder hierarchy to it, it creates a folder instead of the file. In that situation it is a mistake, but you just have to add .getParentFile() before .mkdirs() to fix it.
I just read javadoc to be sure >:3.
Could you create one with a read json file? The two examples for writing the file look great, but that assumes the file is already present. There is a [Set Local: configFile to _____] element (purple), but no way to attach the text of the filename. I cannot find any element that can be used to set the file name to read the json file (or check if the file exists) without locking the code and manually updating File file = new File("configfile.json);
Thanks!!
Hello
im only able to create files with File Manager but if i try write things in the files i get a silent error with
https://pastebin.com/reAnj4Hb
If i do it like your example picture in the plugin description it wont work.
if i remove the write part it works.
it wont generate or change the code of the class with the write parts.
Already tested the latest build of file manager and one version lower too and also installed all snapshots of mcreator for 1.16.5 to test it with all versions.
Also builded the file manager with gradle on my own to test if uploaded version is maybe broken but nothing help.
Same error everytime.
What im doing wrong xD
Greetings, I am trying to use it but it gives me this error: https://i.postimg.cc/qRFxM0Mm/0.png, the problem is that it is not referring to the project, the variables are named as local. Can you tell me how I can refer to the project please? I know how to do it manually but I don't want to have to do it manually every time I do a procedure. (Google translator)
