=============
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

=============
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.

Quick question, I couldn't find it in previous posts: is there a way to do a break/new line? For example, if I have a lot of tags on the user's name then I'd like to start the message on a new line in the chat. Thanks.

 

Does this support factions before I try it?

 

Mainly because I'm asking you politely and I don't like people seeing my config as it is what makes my server unique along with other things.

 

Ooooooh ok, I removed it. I thought you meant to remove MY config. Sorry about that, But I got rid of it.

 

i think im doing something wrong i want m prefix to do this ingame: [Admin] (in &c color)
but instead of that i get this:

ive also provided you guys with my permissions config file; maybe thats the problem, idk :O

pls halp

Code:

# Supports "Default" and "GroupUsers"
plugin:

Would I be able to use this to mute all text on the server entirely? Including things like logins and logouts?

 

Ha lulz

 

+name is showing the display name not the actual user name when using DispNameChanger or Basic name changer. Is this a bug or did I mess something up somehow? Or possibly a conflict with these 2 display name plugins? Any suggestions?

 

Is there anyway to make it see the MultiVerse world alias names instead of the world names for the variable +world (or make a new one called +worldalias). I would like to change the color of the alias's font but MultiVerse does not support color in the configs

 

No, as that would require following yet another plugins changes and i cant be bothered

Also, no it doesn't support factions (never used it), can't mute all text, and who/list aren't my plugin.
As for dispnamechanger, never used it, and no clue how it works.

 

Nice Plugin; Very Easy.. Little Wish.. would you add +ip to show users IP?

 

So I guess the only way to get different results from +name and +displayname is from Towny? Since that's the only one you mention.

 

I should change that, it doesn't actually work with towny either *shrug*

 

Man that's disappointing...the only reason I ask is because I thought it'd be useful to give my users shorter nicknames that they wouldn't see in chat and complain about but would make commands I have to do regarding them shorter for me to type...I'm sure there is another way for me to do this though.

 

Can you give me the codes to only colour names?

 

Considering this has nothing to do with my plugin, stop asking here.

@Sweet_Mafia No.

 

No? There are so many, I dont know which one to put int he config files. So I can set color for the group name and username.

 

@Sweet_Mafia Because obviously you didn't read my post anyways, so why bother helping you?

 

Thanks for helping out your client, I excpected more from a developer. Sorry I didnt make myself clear, I read everything but dont understand it. All I asked was for which one to use, you could even give me the page line. Well since that is too hard, I wont bother you.

 

@Sweet_Mafia Client? You pay me now? Cool.
Unless you're paying me, you're not a "client", you're a "user" of my free software. I don't even HAVE to offer support, almost everything is answered in the first post, INCLUDING the question you asked (Hell, the two examples are coloring username, and coloring group).

Obviously you haven't read very many of my posts, because I'm a dick, especially when people waste MY time with stupid questions answered in the first post.

 

Your a dick? If I waste your time, dont reply. Sorry if I made you mad, like I SAID nothing helped.

Okay bro, sorry for not being detailed and critisizing you. Having a rough day here

Here is the permissions.

Code:

# System is no longer used, but may become used in the future
# Copies is for multiple-world support
#   Put the name of the world you wish for it to be a clone of, otherwise leave it empty.
#   If this file is for your default world (the one in server.properties) then you must
#   leave copies blank.
#  Example: copies: Derp    -  This will clone the permissions of the world Derp
#
# Make sure to rename this file to the name of the world that is in sever.properties under
# level-name.  So if it is level-name: world  then this should be world.yml and in the
# plugins/Permissions directory (ie. plugins/Permissions/world.yml)
#
# NOTE: Do not use tabs while editing this document.  Use only spaces.  A good way to avoid
# doing this is to use Notepad++ and replace the tab with 4 spaces.
plugin:
    permissions:
        system: default
        copies:

##
# AntiBuild is included with this.  To disable a group from being able to build then
# set the build: flag to false (build: false).  If you want a group to be able to build
# then set it to true.
##
# Groups can contain inheritance.
#   To make a group inherit the permissions from another
#   group simply place the groups name in the "inheritance:" like so:
#
#   Example:
#       inheritance:
#           - Default
##
#   All permissions including the asterisks must be placed in single quotes.
#   like so:
#
#       - 'foo.bar'
#
#   Otherwise errors will happen!
##
#   Globalized Permission settings:
#
#       If a permission contains periods (.) you can denote a globalized parameter:
#
#           - 'foo.*'
#
#       This will allow you to use all general commands.
#
##
#   Single Asterisk denotes all commands:
#
#       - '*'
#   If you give a group this permissions, do not have the group inherit any permissions
#   from other groups.  Any users assigned to this group should NOT be given any additional
#   permissions either.
##
#   To exempt a node use the - prefix like so:
#       - '-foo.bar'
##
#   prefix: and suffix: do not do anything on their own.  You need another outside plugin
#   such as iChat or HeroChat in order for these to do anything.

Here is the config

Code:

censor-color: '&f'
date-format: HH:mm:ss
message-format: '[+prefix+group&f] +name: +message'
censor-char: '*'
censor-string-color: '&f'

No, an honest mistake was asking once, which I ignored. Don't spam my topic with the same question unless you want to be bitched at.

 

Hey, I'm having trouble setting up the suffix, any help would be appreciated.

This is for my group permission:
Council:
default: false
info:
prefix: '&6'
suffix: '&a'
build: true
inheritance:
permissions:
- '*'
This is my user permission:

users:
thenadlad:
group: Council
permissions:
info:
prefix: '&6'
suffix: '&a'
permissions:
- 'herp.derp'

My name is just appearing white even though I have it set to another color.
Any idea what's up? Thanks in advance.

 

Hey. I love iChat, can you add an option for Towny users to use +town and get the town name they're a member of? Would be great for town tags.

 

@Zalastri I'm not adding any external plugin support.

 

You need essentials for this plugin to work?

 

@Isaac Rosenzweig I don't offer support for GroupManager.

@radur Wut? Why would you need essentials? I'm pretty sure the word "essentials" is only mentioned in regards to breaking shit...

 

Im having trouble getting the players names set up like this
[Admin] ImJoeNemesis: blah (text being white)
My iChat config is:

censor-list: []
censor-color: '&f'
date-format: HH:mm:ss
message-format: '[+prefix&f] &8+name&f: +message'
censor-char: '*'
censor-string-color: '&f'
censor-colored: false

With the Admin group in permissions set up like this:

Admin:
default: false
info: {prefix: '&6[', suffix: ']&6', build: true}
inheritance: null
permissions: ['*']

And it looks like
[[Admin]] ImJoeNemesis (the black brackets and name being white)
Did i miss something in the iChat config? Or am i just doing it wrong?

 

I am trying to change the color of the names but they stay white
I have it like this:
<+prefix&f>+suffix+name: &f+message
so it should look like this: <Admin>Rebeljah: Hi there!
the suffix for admins is '&4' so shouldn't that make the name red?

EDIT* I noticed that the problem must be that the color of the name cannot be changed from white... I think it got broken when you updated?

 

Your plugin is really messing with my server. I had no problems before. It's really messy as of right now, is this an old version?

I reallty liked this but it is messing up my server.
