    ColorMe - Add color to player names
    Version: v3.8.1

    <font color="#ff0000">BukkitDev: Click!</font>

    Description

    This plugin aims to modify the chat with colors, prefixes and suffixes.
    You can set the color/prefix/suffix for individual players or create groups and add players to them.
    There are several supported third-party plugins and other supported things like Spout or an economy system.

    It's a rebirth of ColorMe and Prefixer from @Valrix
    I'm happy to hear about your opinion, just leave a comment with a feature request, bug, improvement or just a personal opinion.

    As a reminder I want to say that I worked very long on this and really appreciate a 'thank you' in form of a donation! (See details on the bottom)

    Hey!
    So I've just installed this - no other plugins installed...
    My name changes colour just fine, as the plugin promises! The message itself is black though...
    Is that normal?... I've found it only affects me whilst I'm OP'd
    Cheers.

    Just remove the permission "colorme.autochatcolor.*" from the permissions and grant only a specific permission like colorme.autochatcolor.yellow for example.
    I will tweak this feature a bit in the next version!

    Bugs that I have gotten.

    >Global Chat always turns black I have tried /color global White and other colors, right after it confirms I get black text again; it never changes.
    >When I do /color me &cHumming&eSamurai, I get not allowed or something along those lines
    >Only thing I can change individually with colors are prefixes Ex: [&7Guest&f] HummingSamurai
    >All I have been doing is /color me random to get my name how I kinda want it

    P.S. I really like this it would be awesome if it get's running smoothly again.

    Thanks for your report.
    The /color global does not affect the color in the chat.
    Just remove the permission "colorme.autochatcolor.*" and you write white again!

    Guess you misunderstood, how ColorMe works ;)
    Either /prefix or /suffix me <Prefix/Suffix here>
    Or /color me <color>.
    As seen on /color list
    If you want to add an own color, look at the OP for the FAQ section where it's explained howto add custom colors.
    (To achieve your color it would be: '&c,&c,&c,&c,&c,&c,&c,&e,&e,&e,&e,&e,&e,&e' ---> 7 times the color &c and 7 times the color &e [counted the characters in your name])

    Tl;dr: /color does only color the whole name and doesn't allow changing the name!

    Hey mate, we are using your (EPIC) ColorMe plug-in. We only have one problem! It does not stay permanent, when someone logs off/the server restarts the colors are gone...
    We would love some help with this from you. We have been spending allot of time and money into this 24/7 server but this is something we can not seem to fix.

    Hey, never heard of such an issue before.
    When you do e.g /color me red
    --> Look into the players.yml and see if it changed

    Thanks!

    Ok.. I'm probably going to sound very stupid but... I have spent ages looking for the permissions in my Bukkit server. I have tried installing a permissions plugins (PermissionsEx and a few others, one at a time) and there are never any permissions located anywhere. I have a permissions.YML, but that is empty.. "Just remove the permission "colorme.autochatcolor.*" and you write white again!" Please help someone.. spent so many hours that have proven to be useless.. Thanks.

    xGhOsTkiLLeRx

    I assume that you use a permission system, if not try the 3.7 snapshots, the default was changed to false, so now OPs won't write in black anymore!

    HeyTin

    I have a problem. As I am op, whenever I type anything in chat, it becomes black. If I do &5 in chat, it becomes that specific color. I don't feel like typing & every time I want to say something. How can I remove this option?

    Thanks :)

    xGhOsTkiLLeRx

    If you want to disable the feature completly, just turn autoChatColor to false in the config.yml
    or remove (or negate) the colorme.autochatcolor.* permission.

    Cheers

    I don't know if someone asked it already but can you color the name above the player? I mean the name thats not in the chat? Kill me if someone asked it already :D

    Edit:
    Without mods i mean :D

    xGhOsTkiLLeRx

    Yes you can!
    Either use Spout and Spoutcraft.
    Or the more common way via TagAPI!
    Remember, you need to enable this in the config (nameAboveTheHead) and to give the colorme.nametag permission.

    Cheers

    There is no way to do that without change the client? Right?

    xGhOsTkiLLeRx

    Nope, possible without a client modification!
    Use TagAPI for this!

    Well i think i am a dumbass... Every Player can see the name without doing anything? And the Skin is normal? Sorry for the questions... GESUNDHEIT!

    It will mess with the player's skin, unless TagAPI does some weird stuff with packets to fix that.
     
  18. Offline

    xGhOsTkiLLeRx

    As long as the name is the same, the skin is kept, if the name is changed, e.g. because of the length limit, the skin will be lost

    B
    But the name isn't the same name when you color it? Exept you use TagAPI, right?

    xGhOsTkiLLeRx

    The color before the name is changed and Minecraft ignores the color.
    My username for example:
    (§f -> White, §c -> red)
    §fxGhOsTkiLLeRx

    After coloring with /color me red (and TagAPI installed) my name looks like this
    §cxGhOsTkiLLeRx

    Skin is still the same :)

    But it is colored? Because you only wrote the farbcode xD sorry for a ton of questions :p
     
  22. Offline

    xGhOsTkiLLeRx

    Yes it would be colored because minecraft tranlates the color to red.
    So as I said, the skin will be kept and there is no client mod needed.
    Just another plugin, TagAPI and the colorme.nametag permission

    If you are still active I got a lot of problem. I want to configure it to set player DisplayName and TabList name automaticly with permissionsEX. I don't have any clue where to start and since it's an old plugin I don't know if I will find any help :X. I would really need a hand here.
