Ok guys, for my 2nd plug in, It tooked me 9 hours and 15 minutes to code the JSON, still not working. I'm getting really angry now. I tried almost everything and it still won't work. So I think the JSON error message is wrong.

oh

Ehh.... i have one



Commander told it. I had too much blanks.

So do i need the json code to be perfectly blankless?
For example, is this right anymore:

"level": 1,
"width": 1,

"power": -4,
"water": -2,
"frames":[{"bmp":"betterbearfirstcommercial_bmp.pmg"}],
"workers":"6",
"building time":"15"
     }
]

maybe this should work?

The error code was for example, "There was an object unterminated (character 139)", then as i delete some of the code the error character just move on, just making all my stuff nonsense.

And i restarted it more that 62 times. Still no success.

Something like "Hello World" is called a string with content Hello World. Your strings have to match the expectations of the plugin loader. For example
"id " won't work as "id" is expected. Also "iD" won't work as strings are interpreted in a case sensitive way. Spaces outside of strings will be ignored and can therefore be used to improve readability (for human).

Problems like "There was an object unterminated (character 139)" are called syntax errors. They have nothing to do with the data but with the structure of your json file. Such errors can also be detected by this website.

Your latest code seems to have valid syntax, however I suspect that your image has not the file ending .pmg but .png instead.

Aldo in the code you posted there should be a coma ( , ) behind build time : 15

really I never putted a , on the last line of code
And it worked fine

Oh no I was talking about the code where there was

Now it said "ErrorIndexOutOfBoundsException" length=0 index=0

That could be from a missing image file. Or an image that does not fit the width and height indicated in the json file.

I got this when it couldn't find the image:
