Save and Read Dictionary To/From Config

Heyy.

So how would you save a dictionary to a config? (eg Dictionary<BasePlayer, int>)
And how would you read from it? As in, get the values from the config and add them to a Dictionary.

Thanks, PsychoTea.

 

Read Oxide API page.

 

Code:

public Dictionary<BasePlayer, int> something = new Dictionary<BasePlayer, int>();
something.Add(target, 1);
somtehing.Add(player, 2);
Config["Lala", "Lalaaa"] = something;

?

Not sure about the below .. but you can test.

Code:

[ChatCommand("read")]
void cmdTest(BasePlayer player, string cmd, string[] args)
{
foreach(KeyValuePair<BasePlayer, int> pair in something)
{
//
}
}

or

Code:

[ChatCommand("read")]
void cmdTest(BasePlayer player, string cmd, string[] args)
{
foreach(var dunno in Config)
{
Puts($"{dunno.Key} and {dunno.Value}");
}
}

 

That's no help as it doesn't explain how to save a dictionary.

Okay thanks.

 

I added one more example to the post that you replied by the way ;x

 

Actually it does:

Code:

protected override void LoadDefaultConfig()
{
   PrintWarning("Creating a new configuration file.");
   Config.Clear();
   Config["ShowJoinMessage"] = true;
   Config["ShowLeaveMessage"] = true;
   Config["JoinMessage"] = "Welcome to this server";
   Config["LeaveMessage"] = "Goodbye";
   SaveConfig();
}[ChatCommand("Test")]
private void Test(BasePlayer player, string command, string[] args)
{
   if ((bool) Config["ShowJoinMessage"])
   Config["ShowJoinMessage"] = false;
   else
   Config["ShowJoinMessage"] = true;
   SaveConfig();
}

 

Hm, this is what I have for saving the dict(s)

Code:

void Unloaded()
        {
            foreach (KeyValuePair<BasePlayer, int> kvp in kills)
            {
                Config["Kills", kvp.Key.ToString()] = kvp.Value.ToString();
            }            foreach (KeyValuePair<BasePlayer, int> kvp in deaths)
            {
                Config["Deaths", kvp.Key.ToString()] = kvp.Value.ToString();
            }
        }

but I'm getting the error

Code:

Any ideas?

 

Try the second example that i gave u

 

This seems to work, for reading.

Code:

void Loaded()
        {
            Config["Kills"] = kills;
            Config["Deaths"] = deaths;
        }

 

I'm trying to save the config. The 2nd one you posted was for reading it.

 

SaveConfig(); ?

 

I mean save the dictionary to the config

 

I cant get you... you cant "save" a dictionary. You can simply save the config.

 

I want to write the KeyValuePairs from the dictionaries to the config file.

For example (not working-code):

Code:

void Unloaded()
        {
            foreach (KeyValuePair<BasePlayer, int> kvp in kills)
            {
                Config["Kills", (String)kvp.Key.ToString()] = (String)kvp.Value.ToString();
            }            foreach (KeyValuePair<BasePlayer, int> kvp in deaths)
            {
                Config["Deaths", (String)kvp.Key.ToString()] = (String)kvp.Value.ToString();
            }            SaveConfig();
        }

With this code I'm getting the error

Code:

[Oxide] 2:50 PM [Error] Failed to call hook 'Unloaded' on plugin 'KillStats v1.0.0' (InvalidCastException: Cannot cast from source type to destination type.)

  at Oxide.Core.Plugins.Plugin.CallHook (System.String hookname, System.Object[] args) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0

 

Code:

public Dictionary<BasePlayer, int> something =[URL='http://www.google.com/search?q=new+msdn.microsoft.com']new[/URL] Dictionary<BasePlayer, int>();
something.Add(target, 1);
somtehing.Add(player, 2);
Config["Lala", "Lalaaa"]= something;
SaveConfig();

Thats what i gave you.. simply add values to the dictionary then add the dictionary to the config

 

Ah okay, I misunderstood what you'd said in the first place :3

Anyway,
I'm using Int32.Parse(key.Value) for reading the config, and getting this error

Code:

[Oxide] 3:12 PM [Error] KillStats.cs(42,74): error CS1503: Argument `#1' cannot convert `object' expression to type `string'

 

key.Value.ToString();

 

Now I'm getting this error :/

Code:

[Oxide] 3:18 PM [Error] Failed to initialize plugin 'KillStats v1.0.0' (FormatException: Input string was not in the correct format)

could you show me your current state? At least your Config and Loaded method

 

Config:

Code:

{
  "Deaths": {},
  "Kills": {}
}

Loaded method:

Code:

void Loaded()
        {
            foreach (var kill in Config)
            {
                if (kill.Value == null) return;
                kills.Add(BasePlayer.Find(kill.Key), Int32.Parse(kill.Value.ToString()));
            }            foreach (var death in Config)
            {
                if (death.Value == null) return;
                deaths.Add(BasePlayer.Find(death.Key), Int32.Parse(death.Value.ToString()));
            }
        }
