    iChat 2.x - Custom Chat Formatting
    Version: 2.4.4
    CraftBukkit: 1337

    Plugin Support:
    PermissionsBukkit
    bPermissions
    Permissions 2.x
    Permissions 3.x

    If you are requesting help, post your entire server log (From the time it opens, until somebody talks), your entire Permission config file (As well as what it's named), and iChat config files. This information is REQUIRED for me to help you.
    http://pastebin.com/ <-- Post configs there when asking for help

    =============
    Description
    =============
    Custom chat formatting.
    Based on the idea of iChat v1.5 by Nijikokun.
    Includes code and concepts from mChat by MiracleM4n <https://github.com/MiracleM4n/mChat/>

    Before downloading: iChat 2.4.x has quite a few changes over the 2.3.x branches. All permissions plugins are handled in one plugin, and they all operate in relatively the same way now. This means you WILL need to redo your configs.
    Download (Direct JAR): http://thedgtl.net/bukkit/iChat.jar
    Source: https://github.com/TheDgtl/iChat

    =============
    Features
    =============
    Supports Permissions (Both 2.0 and 2.1), and SuperPerms handlers (PermissionsBukkit, bPermissions, and PermissionsEx).
    Allows you to specify a prefix/suffix/variable for users and groups on a per-world or global basis.
    A user-specific prefix/suffix/variable will take priority over a group prefix/suffix/variable, a world-based prefix/suffix/variable will take priority over a global prefix/suffix/variable.
    Unlimited amount of custom variables for use in chat format.
    Colors are supported in all parts of the formatting and chat text.
    Usable health bar and health amount in the formatting.
    Support for formatting of /me

    =============
    Formatting
    =============
    Message formatting is defined in the file plugins/iChat/config.yml
    The message formats can contain characters, color codes, and variables.
    To use colors use the standard Minecraft color codes found here: http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Classic_Server_Protocol#Color_Codes

    Available variables:
    +prefix - The prefix for this user, or this users group if they don't have one defined.
    +suffix - The suffix for this user, or this users group if they don't have one defined.
    +name - The users name
    +displayname - The users display name (Set by plugins such as Towny)
    +iname - The iChat formatted player name (Defined by iname-format)
    +group - The users group
    +healthbar - A visual health bar for this user
    +health - The users current health value (Between 0 and 20)
    +message - The message the player typed
    +world - What world the player is currently in
    +time - Timestamp, configurable in config.yml. Uses the format for SimpleDateFormat - http://bit.ly/dscw40

    Example (Default):
    Code:
    iname-format: '[+prefix+group+suffix&f] +displayname'
    message-format: '+iname: +message'
    me-format: '* +name +message'
    date-format: 'HH:mm:ss'
    handle-me: true
    Example date-format (Default):
    date-format: 'HH:mm:ss'

    As of iChat 2.4.0 there have been a few changes in the way variables and groups are handled.

    ==========
    Groups
    ==========
    As of iChat 2.4.3 native groups are supported in Permissions 2.x/3.x, PermissionsBukkit, bPermissions, and PermissionsEx.

    ==========
    Variables
    ==========
    Variables are now defined in variables.yml in the iChat directory. This includes prefixes, suffixes, and custom variables.
    You can define an unlimited number of custom variables for groups and users, if these variables contain the static variables such as +prefix,
    +suffix, +health, etc then those variables will be replaced with their respective values.
    If a variable does not exist then it will be replaced with a blank string.

    As of iChat 2.4.4 you can now specify world-specific variables. To specify a per-world group or user variable (Prefix, suffix, or variable) you just specify it under the world as shown in the 'world' example in the default variables.yml below. Anything specified in the parent 'users' or 'groups' nodes will be considered global for all worlds.

    Default variables.yml:
    ---------------------
    Code:
    # iChat Variable Config
    # This is now the only method for defining variables
    users:
        Drakia:
            prefix: '&e'
    groups:
        Admin:
            prefix: '&c'
            suffix: ''
        Default:
            prefix: ''
            suffix: ''
    world:
      users:
        Drakia:
          prefix: '&a'
    Default config.yml:
    ---------------------
    Code:
    handle-me: true
    date-format: HH:mm:ss
    message-format: '+iname: +message'
    me-format: '* +name +message'
    iname-format: '[+prefix+group+suffix&f] +displayname'
    =============
    Examples
    =============
    To make a group colored:
    variables.yml:
    Code:
    groups:
        Default:
            prefix: '&4'
            suffix: ''
    config.yml:
    Code:
    message-format: '[+prefix+group&f] +name: +message'
    To make a single username colored:
    variables.yml:
    Code:
    users:
        Drakia:
            prefix: ''
            suffix: '&1'
    Config:
    Code:
    message-format: '[+prefix+group&f] +suffix+name&f: +message'
    As you can see, suffixes and prefixes can be used anywhere, in any combination. In this example we use prefix as a method for coloring group names, while suffix is used to color individual users. On our server we have prefixes such as "&f[&2Mod&f] " so that we can have custom tags per group instead of just the groups name. There is no end to the combination of things you can do, please TRY things before you come asking for someone else to do it for you. There are too many combinations of things for me to answer every question about how to color specific things.
    I will not be offering answers to questions such as "How do I color names?" or really anything else to do with specifics of formatting. It's pretty straightforward what you can do, and if you can't take the time to experiment then I'm not going to take the time to answer your questions.

    =============
    Configuration
    =============
    iname-format - The format used for +iname (Default: '[+prefix+group+suffix&f] +displayname')
    message-format - The format used for basic chat (Default: '+iname: +message')
    date-format - The format used for +date (Default: 'HH:mm:ss')
    me-format - The format used for /me commands (Default: '* +name +message')
    handle-me - Whether to handle /me commands (Default: true)

    =============
    Permissions
    =============
    ichat.color - Allow this group/user to use color in their chat messages.
    ichat.reload - Allow this group/user to use "/ichat reload"

    =============
    Commands
    =============
    /ichat reload - Reload the iChat config file

    =============
    F.A.Q.
    =============
    Q) Why is my custom message format not working? I just get the default output. Or output with no variables filled in.
    A) If you're using Permissions 2.1, make sure your Permissions config file is named "{worldname}.yml" where {worldname} is the name of your world. If you're using Permissions 2.0, make sure your Permissions config is named config.yml

    Q) How do I set the brackets color to the same as the group?
    A) Normally you have the brackets in the message-format variable, but you can just as easily move them into prefix/suffix and that way they can be per-group colored!

    Q) Why is my entire string colored? I just put a color code beside +name!
    A) A color code will persists until another color code is encountered, or the end of the line is reached. To change the line back to white use &f after the variable/string you want colored.

    Q) Why are my OPs names red?
    A) Essentials has this functionality built in. Change "ops-name-color" to 'none' in your Essentials config file.

    Q) Why does {PluginX} not work with iChat?
    A) There's a good chance it does, but you need to use +displayname instead of +name.

    Q) Why does Towny not work with iChat?
    A) iChat no longer uses %1$s for the player name, it uses player.getName() and player.getDisplayName(), until such a time that Towny is updated to use the proper method of setting a players name (Set their displayName) it will not work with iChat.

    True, but, it does have plugins such as Essentials, and, CommandBook, that add those commands.

    And it is up to those plugins to interact with iChat, not the other way around.

    rEssentials is essentials but essentials didnt work for me so i used ressentials. Apparently ressentials was the plugin that caused this. Thanks :)

    If you came here because Permissions 3 itself doesn't work with CB1317, you're on the wrong forum thread.

    If not, please provide your Serverlog, ichat configs (variables.yml and config.yml) and permission configuration.

    :( I'm sorry, honestly my server is still using 1240, haven't had the time to update. When I checked Monday some plugins weren't up to date yet so I wanted to give them some time. I guess permission 3 has a different problem and you should check on their forum thread to say if they have an update.

    This isn't working.

    Code:
    handle-me: true
    date-format: HH:mm:ss
    message-format: '+iname: +message'
    me-format: '* +name +message'
    iname-format: '[+group] +displayname'
    
    This is how I have PermissionsEX setup.

    Code:
    groups:
        Member:
            default: true
            permissions:
        Admin:
            inheritance:
            - Member
            permissions:
            - '*'
    users:
        NEREVAR117:
            group:
            - Admin
            permissions:
            - permissions.*
    
    This is the result.

    Can someone PLEASE help me? From what I read in the first post, you have to add group.(whatever): true to your PermissionsBukkit config file. I did this, but it still doesn't work! If no one has helped me because of the large text files I uploaded, then help me with a theoretical situation: How to set this up with PermissionsBukkit? I would really appreciate some help here.

    I have 4 worlds: world, world_2, world_survival and world_nether.

    The world name only shown if a player is in world_survival and world_2.

    I am using cb 1331 and essentials gm 2.6.3

    Just a heads up, I'm working on a Permissions overhaul, it will have built in support for fetching groups via plugin as opposed to using group.{name} nodes (Support for bPermissions, PermissionsBukkit, and PermissionsEx initially, if there are any plugins I missed please post). Will be up tonight.

    Drakia

    Right, it also supports Permissions 2.x/3.x sorry (I still use 2.7.x myself)

    [Version 2.4.3]
    - Permissions overhaul. No longer require group.{name} node unless not using a permissions handler

    As of this release native group names are no used as opposed to group.{name} nodes for Permissions, PermissionsBukkit, bPermissions and PermissionsEx.
