Description: (open) Description: (close)

Allows users to color their chat by using a configurable character (By default, the ampersand "&" and the carat "^") followed by a hexadecimal number (0-F). I recieved a request to post this plugin after someone used it on my server.

Rainbow mode is toggled by a configurable command (by default "/colors" and "/colours"). This can be disabled in the settings.

Admin can use the admin command (by default "/ca") to set and reset players' and groups' prefixes/suffixes. If you don't have permissions installed, the admin command will default to Op, and the two groups that will exist are: "Op" and "Default"

Users can change their own prefixes and suffixes using configurable commands (by default "/prefix" and "/suffix").

A small note about version numbers: x.y.z

• X.Y represents the Minecraft version number that was out when the update was released.
• The Z represents the release number.

So the version 1.7.2 would indicate that it is the second release of the plugin, on minecraft 1.7

Starting with version 2.0.0,
The version number is unrelated to the minecraft version. It goes by major.minor.release

Any questions, comments, suggestions, or plugin breaks (I'm not always on the latest version of CB), please post here.

To color a name, just set a prefix with the last 2 characters be the hex code for the color (using the character set in the properties file).

When tyzoid (me) talks, it will look like this:

not work =/

 

@Krazy
The prefix?

The prefix is set using the in-game command. Not the info -> prefix.

 

Hi. I'm having problems getting any Name coloring (suffix/prefix renaming, or else) plugin working with a chat plugin (that shows prefix suffix name)... Anyone get anything working where certain permissions groups can have a node that allows them to change the color of their own name only?

(getting ready to paste a bunch of pastebins with my settings... feel free to message me on skype: [email protected] or here).... (making pastebins)

color not working
my VIP players msg &5 BLA BLA BLA
and message in chat is &5 BLA BLA BLA not
BLA BLA BLA

 

@odielag
iChat should be able to do this on its own.
Once the new update comes out, that will cover pretty much everything that iChat does. (except a few chat formatting options).

@Krazy
It looks like you are not giving them the correct permissions.
Please paste your ENTIRE permissions.yml file (on pastebin, of course).

 

All files in permissions folder.

 

@Krazy
In your groups.yml, scroll down to the last line.

Code:

    VIP:
        permissions:
        inheritance:

Change that to this:

Code:

    VIP:
        permissions:
        inheritance:
        - vipmcbr

 

not work =/

 

@Krazy
Did you try moving the everything in the global groups file into the relevant world-specific files? There were bugs with global groups.

And make sure the default group gets colors.hex

 

this plugin no have incompatibility with another?
i try to use another colors chat and same error =/

 

@Krazy
What is the error you are getting?

Is the only problem that normal users can't use the hex feature?

 

yeah, this is error ^^, my players can't use colors in chat

 

Group Manager Support?

 

@Krazy
It should be working.

@mrjoeman1200 Not right now. Use the permissions bridge (or a superperms compatable permissions plugin)

 

well, this is a good plugin. BUT, the player prefixes work, group prefixes don't >.<

if i set a group prefix it just doesnt show up on me...
but when i set my own player prefix on the other hand i'll see the darned thing just fine

currently using Craftbukkit [1331] (gonna switch to 1340 in a moment)

 

@Gotomtom95
What permissions plugin are you using?
Group prefixes are working on my server...

Could you give a more descriptive explanation of what is wrong? What version you are using? What CB build? Other useful details... Etc.

 

Sorry for the late response. These are default groups, sure, but how do I use my own?
I'm using SuperpermsBridge which should look like Permissions 3.x to your plugin...

 

What's The Color Coads?

 

Here's the color codes.

@Draconicus
Yes. While Superperms pretends to be permissions 3.x, It still doesn't support groups.
This is because the built in permissions manager within bukkit doesn't support groups.

Unfortunately, there are multiple permissions systems I'd have to support in order to get groups working, and there is no official way to interface with these plugins to get the group. For now you'll just have to use the default groups.

I will put custom groups on my to-do list for groups separate from a permissions plugin.

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

is this superms

 

This is not a permssions manager. It supports permissions given through superperms by plugins such as bPermissions, PermissionsEx, and permissionsbukkit...

Remember that Colors can't read groups from the aforementioned plugins.

 

But... uh... I have custom groups working fine for other BukkitPerms plugins. >..>

 

Yea. That's because the plugin directly interfaces with BukkitPerms, not through the permissions manager.

I have yet to figure out how to do this. In the meantime, Problem one (Compatibility with your name-changing plugin) will be solved by an update this weekend. I almost posted it last weekend, but minecraft was down preventing me from testing the code.

 

how can i make my prefix rainbow
this is what i want (Owner)voodoo

 

i'm using permissionsbukkit 1.1 and CB 1363

and sorry for my late reply

[edit]
nevermind, i know why the group prefixes ain't working, you don't support permissionsbukkit (yet)
[/edit]

 

@voodoomike
you can't as of yet, however it is on my mental to do list.
@Gotomtom95
It's ok. I haven't been on since last Saturday anyway.

@everyoneusingcolors
This current update is taking longer than I expected, mainly due to me not having time to do almost anything (Calc and Physics...), and also because I have just gotten carpal tunnel.

Anyway, I will hopefully be getting the update out this weekend.

 

@voodoomike
Will be available in this next update.

However, you will need to enable chat formatting to utilize it in names.

 

any chance of you supporting PermissionsBukkit any time soon?

 

@Gotomtom95
Yea, but not in this update. Probably in the one after this one.

 

Does this work with HeroChat?
