Looking for a super simple prefix/suffix chat plugin

The plugin I'm looking for should have the following attributes:

• Lightweight
  • No extra nonsense. Just adding prefix and suffix to chat.
• Permissions-based
  • Assign node, get prefix/suffix.
  • Not Vault, or directly hooking a permissions plugin.
• Easy to configure
• Up to date
  • Not abandoned in early 2012 and still using outdated Bukkit API.
• On BukkitDev (provide a link)

There's a billion billion chat plugins, so I thought I'd just ask around and see what you guys already use and like.

 

I use IChat and it works well or PEX & ChatManager are simpler just use the
Set-message format command
/pex group Admins set message-format "&4[admin] &f%player: %message"

Edit: mbaxter

 

If you use Essentials:
EssentialsChat does exactly what you want.

Neither of you has met my full requirements list :/

 

Pex and ChatManager do exactly what you want
Lightweight if you already use PEX for permissions just install chatmanager
Permission node based off your PEX groups.
Very easy to configure just one simple command
No Vault needed
Up to date

and I guess here is he link to fulfill your requirements Here

 

I'm not sure if there is one.
I'll go write one

I asked for a chat plugin, not a permissions plugin. Especially not a bug-filled one.

Writing my own in response to the underwhelming response.

 

mbaxter would you like to work together? Perhaps we can join ideas and make an even better one.

 

codename_B Happy to collaborate, perhaps chat later on IRC?

 

mbaxter sounds like a plan. I'll be on IRC in about 2 hours for a bit

 

Tehe, bax and codename gonna get a room together. <3

Test code shows promising results

Code:

public static void test() {
        /*
         * Basic format
         * {prefix, admin, admin.prefix}
         * {prefix, moderator, moderator.prefix}
         * {prefix, user, user.prefix}
         */
        Set<String> permissions = new HashSet<String>();
        FormatHandler handler = new FormatHandler();
        handler.setFormat("[<prefix>] <name>: <message>");
        // 
        permissions.add("color.chat");
        permissions.add("admin.prefix");
        //
        handler.addFormat(new Format<String>("prefix", "admin", "admin.prefix"));
        handler.addFormat(new Format<String>("prefix", "moderator", "admin.prefix"));
        handler.addFormat(new Format<String>("prefix", "user", "user.prefix"));
        //
        String message = "hello there!";
        //
        Test test = new Test(permissions);
        System.out.println(handler.format(message, "codename_B", test));
    }

prints

Code:

[admin] codename_B: hello there!

codename_B Typical high-quality codename_B code.

crushh87 I can guarantee that mbaxter isn't using PEX.

 

evilmidget38 I swapped the last few lines into a trinary operator, just for fun.

 

codename_B I don't see any conditional assignments, mind updating your code to show what you mean?

codename_B Oh, okay. I only did a brief glance at paste, I was mostly looking at the test code.

 

Well how am I suppose to know that? Every server has permissions, and a lot of them use PEX so maybe his does too.

Mbaxter is the author, although since they finally got around to fixing some of the issues, he seems to hate it less.

 

The plugin I suggested is chatmanger, which is not a permissions plugin. I just said if your are using PEX, chatmanger is not bad. But it seems you don't like PEX so i guess chatmanger is out of question

 

is this a bad joke?
a moderator & bukkit dev staff doesnt know the common Chat plugins?
crushh87 informs him about a Chat plugin that fulfills his "attributes list"
the Moderators answer is: " i asked for a Chat plugin, not a permissions plugin"

 

They are still people, and can say what they want to. To them it doesn't really matter if it comes off right it wrong. To me everything he said seems just fine. Ya there are a lot of common chat plugins but they are either a. Really complicated and are not "simple" or b. Need another plugin to go with it such as essentials or PermissionsEX.

 

1. chatmanager requires PEX to work, thus doesnt fulfill "No extra nonsense"
2. directly hooks to PEX.

assuming you dont know the common chat plugins?

 

Also can be included: Is not lightweight.

I was going to recommend ChatSuite, but that doesn't fit his lightweight needs, even though its specifically a chat management plugin.

 

I think other admins looking for a light-weight chat solution might find this useful. Will you be posting this on dev.bukkit codename_B, mbaxter?

 

I/we will be, at some point yeah. I think what I designed was more than the simplistic solution he was looking for haha. :3
