    Hello brothers.

    Every time I fuckin edit a plugin (in the config folder) its dont fuckin save.

    Its a magic rollback that goes to the "initial" configuration.

    In the case: its with BetterChat.

    I edit to delete the titles (to just show the color names in chat, no [Admin][VIP] etc) and its come to the initial configuration! I saved the file, replaced, and nothing works.

    Ex:

    {
    "admin": {
    "ConsoleFormatting": "{Title} {Name}: {Message}",
    "Formatting": "{Title} {Name}<color={TextColor}>:</color> {Message}",
    "NameColor": "#DCFF66",
    "Permission": "admin",
    "Rank": 3,
    "TextColor": "white",
    "Title": "[Admin]",
    "TitleColor": "red"

    Now with what I want:

    {
    "admin": {
    "ConsoleFormatting": "{Name}: {Message}",
    "Formatting": "{Name}<color={TextColor}>:</color> {Message}",
    "NameColor": "#DCFF66",
    "Permission": "admin",
    "Rank": 3,
    "TextColor": "white",
    "Title": "",
    "TitleColor": "red"


    Help please.

    The a plugin's config resets, it means that the config was generally not edited correctly, as in formatting was somehow invalid with the changes. JSON files can be pretty sensitive, but the main thing to look for is quotations inside other quotations that aren't escaped with \, and missing trailing commas at the end of lines excluding parent nodes and the last line in a section.

    I need to edit just the config file or the lang file too?

    The Lang file is only for messages, so that's up to you if you'd like to customize them. The config resetting isn't related to the lang file though.

    If I just edit "Title": "", in config file, its also seems to work?

    Its a dedicated server. It can tell something like backup files?

    If you backup the files before editing, you'll have backups. You should validate your changes with a site such as jsonlint.com before saving them as well.
