Question How do I get coloured chat for Groups using PermissionsEX?

So I'm having some trouble getting coloured chat to work - I hosted a localhost server with the same essentials config and same permissions.yml and the coloured chat worked, but when I put it into a public server, it doesn't work.

Here's my Essentials Config.yml:

And here's my Permissions.yml:

I didn't get mine working until I installed PExChat. Maybe there's a more efficient way of doing it but that's the best I came up with. I'm also looking for help with plugins but I'd be glad to help you as much as I can. If you install PExChat and it still doesn't work let me know and I'll try to help you out! =)

 

Do you have EssentialsChat installed on the public server?

 

Find the EssentialsChat thing on your Essentials config, then let's take for example group Owner.
Where it says:
Owners:
After that type something like that:
Owners: &4{DISPLAYNAME} &7&l >> &mc{MESSAGE}
Then I believe you don't have to delete this # sign.

 

Or you can just use the prefix option in PermissionsEx, and EssentialsChat will use that.

 

Yes. I even tried to install 2 different versions of it.

I've already set it as my own format.

 

Please post your latest.log, maybe there were some problems.

And here's my plugins incase you think something may be interfering with EssentialsChat -

 

Line 11: Ambiguous plugin name --> You have two jar files for the same plugin, with different filenames. The server flips a coin randomly each time to determine which file to load, if they are the same version its not a big issue, if its a different version, you end up flipping between some things working vs not.

Line 13: Could not load plugins/mcore.jar ... yet, mcore runs. Not sure how to explain that one, errors are never good to have. Perhaps it is a second file in a subfolder "/plugins/plugins/mcore.jar" ?

Line 325: Unable to load ess GeoIP properly. It may still appear green, but, I bet the plugin commands dont work for it. Version issue. Unless geoip is really important to you to use , its a heavyweight potential for errors and network errors.

Line 475: That blob is from NameTagEdit , something to do with scoreboards. May be a version incompatibility

Line 504: That blob is from essentials xmpp. If you have no actual need for xmpp features (almost no one does) remove the plugin.. this is also the coin-flipping plugin on startup which may be toggling from working and non-working files.

Pastebin your essentials config -- may be a matter of not commenting the right thing int he format, or having a boolean flag not set compatible. Or, your custom format that is ignoring a vriable to simply change.

 

Alright, I removed GeoIP, xmpp and NameTagEdit. I also think I removed the ambiguous plugin.
