Inventory Weights Client Configuration

The ItemWeightsConfigClient class is responsible for managing the client-side configuration for the MT Inventory Weight mod. It handles the display settings for the weight HUD, such as its position on the screen and custom offsets.

Configuration Options

The following settings are managed by the inventory_weights_client.json file, which is automatically created and maintained by the mod in the config/inventoryweight directory:

• hudPosition: Determines the HUD's position on the screen. The default position is "BOTTOM_RIGHT".
• xOffset: Specifies the horizontal offset for custom HUD positioning. Default value is 0.5f.
• yOffset: Specifies the vertical offset for custom HUD positioning. Default value is 0.5f.

Config Management

The ItemWeightsConfigClient class provides two main methods to handle loading and saving the configuration:

• loadConfig():

  • This method is responsible for loading the configuration from the inventory_weights_client.json file.
  • If the file exists, it parses the file and sets the hudPosition, xOffset, and yOffset values based on the data found.
  • If the file does not exist, it creates a new directory and file with default values.

• saveConfig():

  • This method writes the current values of hudPosition, xOffset, and yOffset into the inventory_weights_client.json file.
  • It ensures that any changes made to the configuration in-game or programmatically are saved to disk.

File Structure

When the config file is created, it will look something like this:

{
    "hudPosition": "BOTTOM_RIGHT",
    "xOffset": 0.5,
    "yOffset": 0.5
}

HUD Positioning

The hudPosition option can be customized to several predefined positions, or you can set it to "CUSTOM" for manual adjustment. The xOffset and yOffset values are only used when the HUD is set to the "CUSTOM" position, allowing players to place the weight HUD anywhere on their screen.

Error Handling

The mod also includes basic error handling for loading and saving the config file:

• If the configuration file cannot be read (e.g., due to corruption), default values are applied, and the mod attempts to create or overwrite the file.
• If any IOException occurs while reading or writing, the exception is printed to the console for debugging purposes.

Usage Example

If you want to manually adjust the HUD position to the top left of the screen, you would modify the config file as follows:

{     
    "hudPosition": "CUSTOM",
    "xOffset": 0.0,
    "yOffset": 0.0 
}

This flexibility allows players to tailor the HUD to fit their specific screen layout preferences.
