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.

Command breakdown:

• [Set/get/remove/reset]
  • Required

  • 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

• (<prefix/suffix>)

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.

Check the Original Post. I added a dev build that hopefully fixes the problem.

I haven't tested this build extensively, so if you find any bugs, don't hesitate to let me know.

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

 

Here is is:

Code:

#
#Tue Feb 07 06:33:14 EST 2012
use-chat-formatting=false
commands=/colors,/colours
chat-formatting=<*prefix**displayname**suffix*&f> *message*
suffix-commands=/suffix
use-admin=true
use-rainbow=true
colorlock-commands=/cl,/color,/colorlock
color-chars=&,^
prefix-commands=/prefix
reload-commands=/creload,/cr
admin-commands=/ca

 

That is odd. I'll contact the Factions dev in the next day or so.

The download link seems to no longer be working for either version. May I recommend simply hosting the .jar file on Github instead?

Also, is this going to be moved over to BukkitDev?

Thanks!

 

Seems to be working fine for me, I'll put it as a wget-friendly link later.

As for bukkitDev, this project exists on bukkitdev, but I never check it.
I find it VERY annoying not to have integrated alerts.

 

It's workin' now, at the time of my post it seemed to be having some downtime though. Oh well!

 

By the way, do you have any issues with the dev build?

 

I didn't encounter any issues... well, except for one, but it might have been a human error on my part. For some reason when I tried to do '/ca set prefix p: Wolfy9247 &4' it put it in the groups file instead. I might have just put g: instead of p:, but that's about the only error that occured.

I was also going to ask what the reload command is? I tried doing /ca reload and that didn't seem to work.

 

/creload

 

News:
2.0.1 is now promoted as stable. I recommend you download this as it contains a few bugfixes.

2.0.2 is in development, expect bPermissions and permissionsEx support within the next few days.

 

how to get a rainbow name? and love this plugin

 

Just set their prefix to &r (or whatever color-char you have set in the config)

I.e.
/ca set prefix p: <player> &r

or, if you are <player>,
/prefix &r

Thanks for the compliment

News:
2.0.2 is going to be r5 ready!

I have the code done, I just need to test it first. Expect a release later today.

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

In-game:
/ca set prefix p: <player> &r

or, if you are <player>,
/prefix &r

I am not planning on making any new plugins, sorry. You should post your idea in the plugin requests forum.

Important information on Next Recommended Build

Hi LetCraft,

We're cleaning up our code to help us better prepare for the release of Minecraft 1.2. As a result, a lot of old, inefficient and buggy code is being removed and plugins will need to be updated.

Please check your plugins, find out if the plugin developers have been keeping everything up to date and kindly let them know that they need to update their plugins to make sure they will be ready for R5.
Well, that's what bukkit told me. Please update this plugin, really love it and use it. And it doesn't work right now because it have to be updated.

/P.E

 

I am aware of this.
The Dev. build is of Colors is compatable with the new API.

BTW, what Permissions plugin are you using?

 

I have not Permissions, but I have Essentials..

 

Ok. Thanks.

 

Will it be working on PermissionsEx later? :/

 

If you have PermissionsEx, I need your help testing the dev build (it's perfectly stable, just hasn't been tested with PermissionsEx in-game).

I have programmed in permissionsEx support, but I haven't tested it yet.

 

So give it to me I can test it on my server, but 2.0.0 wasn't working normal :]

 

If you look up in the OP, there is a "Dev Build:" with a link under it.

That is what you want to download.

 

Tested, and it's working , just need to disable chatmanager on 2.0.2
Thanks.

 

Thanks for the reply. It seems to be working for bPermissions too, so I will promote it to stable.

 

Having some problems on dev version, tested on newest CB using PEX

Config:

Code:

use-chat-formatting=true
commands=/colors,/colours
chat-formatting=*prefix**displayname**suffix*&f *message*
suffix-commands=/csuffix
use-admin=true
use-rainbow=true
colorlock-commands=/colorlock
color-chars=&
prefix-commands=/cprefix
reload-commands=/creload
admin-commands=/ca

Command: /cprefix &r

Before:
[Admin] StuckingFoned <- green tag, yellow name.

After:
2a[Admin]be eeStuckingFonedef1f <- rainbow colours work but actual text glitches

 

Can you post a screenshot of this happening in-game?
