    Announcements:
    Beta 2.0.3b4 needs more extensive testing. It works fine on bPermissions/bPermissions nano
    Description: (open)

    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.

    The Admin Command: (open)

    Syntax
    /<colorsadmin> [set/get/remove/reset] [prefix/suffix] [p:/g:] <name> (<prefix/suffix>)

    Command breakdown:
    • [Set/get/remove/reset]
      • Required
      • Remove and reset are alises
      • Remove and reset removes the prefix/suffix
      • Set sets a prefix/suffix
      • Get tells the admin what the current prefix/suffix is
    • [prefix/suffix]
      • Required
      • Self explanatory
    • [p:/g:]
      • Required
      • p: tells the plugin you are setting the player's prefix/suffix
      • g: tells the plugin you are setting the group's prefix/suffix
    • <name>
      • Required
      • Fill it in with either the group, or player name, depending on what you put for [p:/g:]
    • (<prefix/suffix>)
      • Required in certain contexts
      • Only use if you are setting a username [set]
      • Just type in the prefix/suffix you want to set 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).

    Example:
    /ca set prefix p: tyzoid &cAdmin &a
    When tyzoid (me) talks, it will look like this:
    <Admin Tyzoid> Hello.
    Permissions nodes: (open)

    • colors.rainbow
      • This is the node that allows people to use (or not use) rainbow mode. (Use with care - can create an eyesore)

    I am hopefully implementing something of the like in the next release. You cannot currently use groups without Permissions 2.x/3.x.
    And thank you for the compliment :) made my day.

    @zaczac
    That will be implemented in the next release.

    Edit: I've implemented @zaczac 's request. I just need to test it, and add persistence.

    Hey tyzoid. You've been a great help with this.
    Re-installing essentials did not fix the problem.
    This sounds like it will be a great plugin but I just cant get it to work! :mad:

    I can't give you the essentials folder.. I can't upload folders, only txt documents.
    This is an awesome plugin, it looks like you put a lot of work into it. You're one of the cooler plugin designers out there :)

    Thanks for the compliments :)

    Just zip your folder. It should allow you to upload the compressed version.

    Just unzip the plugin and put it into your plugins folder. It will automatically generate all files necessary when you start the server.

    You can set the permissions nodes (outlined in the OP under permissions nodes) in the permissions plugin of your choice.
    You can also change the configuration, but the default configs should work just fine.

    @Luneth2
    Do you have a permissions plugin? If not, you don't need to set anything.

    Although, I am not sure what your problem is. Do you have any other plugins?

    Try disabling Essentials temporarily and see if that helps.

    I don't know what causes the bug, but I am going to remove the offending code in the next update.

    If you have permissions,
    /ca set prefix g: <Groupname> <prefix/color_code>

    If not, I will be working on a new update to use bPermissions and PermissionsEx

    Why is it when I type the command with everything right, the after the prefix, it says null. It's so annoying.

    tyzoid

    Is the player's name itself null?

    If so, this is an issue that has been confirmed, but I haven't had much time recently to code.

    Hopefully there will be a fix soon.
