    ColorMe - Add color to player names
    Version: v3.8.1

    <font color="#ff0000">BukkitDev: Click!</font>

    Description

    This plugin aims to modify the chat with colors, prefixes and suffixes.
    You can set the color/prefix/suffix for individual players or create groups and add players to them.
    There are several supported third-party plugins and other supported things like Spout or an economy system.

    It's a rebirth of ColorMe and Prefixer from @Valrix
    I'm happy to hear about your opinion, just leave a comment with a feature request, bug, improvement or just a personal opinion.

    As a reminder I want to say that I worked very long on this and really appreciate a 'thank you' in form of a donation! (See details on the bottom)

    xGhOsTkiLLeRx

    It's supported for Prefixes and Suffixes.
    However, not in the chat message itself.

    You name color can be dark red, too.

    For the next version I will add custom colors, like.

    myColor: &e&c&2

    Which would color the first char yellow, the second one red, the last on dark green. Then it starts at yellow again.

    &lThis message is bold

    Already possible, it seems I have to make it clearer in the OP.

    Use &e for example.
    This would make it yellow.
    For a list of the & values type /color list

    xGhOsTkiLLeRx

    You don't need to write 2 messages. Only here is enough.
    Have you installed any other chat plugin?
    There could be a conflict.
    Otherwise it should work.

    So whenever someone on my server talks, it says the name of the world the person is in [creative]. 2012-05-01_20.45.17.png Can that be removed?

    grant1222

    So wait I'm confused. Can you color your prefix and suffix as well or just your name?
     
  18. Offline

    xGhOsTkiLLeRx

    Yes.
    I will state it clearer in the first post.

    Just use the color chars (&).
    Type /color list to see them.
    And like I said,
    &2[God] would make it to: [God]

    When I give someone's name the colour 'magic' their name becomes a bunch of randomly changing characters, and stays white.

    kdalips
    Normally ColorMe shouldn't do such a thing.
    Make sure you set the global suffix/prefix right.

    Mateusz2737
    What exactly was the problem?
    It could be, because of the player variable.
    Use
    Code:
    display-name-format: '%displayname'
    instead.

    Should work then!

    I am having trouble accesing the command in-game. Is the command /<command> me <rainbow> [world] ?
    I dont understand it at all! Please, I need your help! Please reply
     
  25. Offline

    xGhOsTkiLLeRx

    The help menu, the first page and the slideshow does explain it very well

    /color list - colors
    /color me COLOR [world]
    The [world] argument is optional, leave it out or write
    /color me COLOR nether

    Would color you only in the world called nether.

    Same for prefix/suffix

    Greetings :)

    Can you add an option to color players a random color every login? Not the option to color every letter a random color, but just a new solid color every login. If it's possible?

    something is very odd with this plugin, every 10 minutes, it splurts out a line into the console saying
    21:35:04 [INFO] [Metrics] Server returned HTTP response code: 502 for URL: http://metrics.griefcraft.com/report/ColorMe

    it gets quite annoying!
    Any reason for it?
