    Permissions 3.0
    Rcjrrcjr has been working quite hard on this upgrade to Permissions. However, it currently still suffers from a number of bugs. The most important of these which directly affects HeroChat is the non-functioning of prefixes and suffixes. There are less-than-pretty workarounds, but I'm refraining from fully supporting an update until Permissions 3.1 is released which should include a number of significant bug fixes. When this does occur, however, I have a build ready for you guys that should work. You can download it here. Again, I highly suggest not using this until Permissions 3.1 is released unless you really don't care about prefixes and such.

    See you when I get back!

    Is your config resetting when you make changes?
    If you make changes to the config while the server is running, you need to use the /ch reload command to make the changes stick. I wish this message wasn't necessary, but people only seem to read things in big, bold, red text (if at all).

    Have a problem? a feature request? Go here.
    HeroChat now has its very own redmine found here. If you have an issue or would like to suggest a new feature, I urge you to file it via redmine. I will be checking this much more often than this thread from here on out.

    Show your thanks! Maintaining plugins like HeroChat is very nearly a full time job. If you enjoy my plugins and appreciate the support I provide, then please consider providing some support of your own. Donating even a tiny amount keeps me motivated and makes me feel loved so go ahead and donate!

    And it appears to be working just fine for the server Admins that know how to configure their files properly after reading all the information available.

    Can someone please help me with world chat channels. I want to have a separate chat channel for each world. So if you are in our creative world, you can only hear and speak to people in the creative world. When you go to the survival world I want it to switch to survival chat. I played around with the force leave and force join commands with no results. Someone please help.

    Rellac

    So I'm not sure if the devs read this, but the only alternative was to sign up to their website and I really don't feel like doing that, but..

    Would it be possible to add a "can't be messaged" permission node? As an admin of a growing server, it's painfully annoying when everyone is constantly messaging me for help and I have to constantly tell everyone the same thing repeatedly. It would be much better if I could just block everyone from sending me messages.

    'Could not connect to MySQL' Can't download the file, :( Was looking forward, think you could fix? Thanks
     
  29. Same here. I've set-up all required permission nodes but my guests aren't auto-joining their channel:

    - herochat.autojoin.guest
    - herochat.force.join.guest
    - herochat.join.guest
    - herochat.speak.guest

    The result: You must join the channel before you can speak.

    When opening a chatter yml i noticed the following:

    activeChannel: Global
    channels:
    - guest
    ignores: []
    muted: false
    autojoin: false

    I simply don't get it...

    edit: I've stopped wasting more hours and removed the plugin.

    The_Only_Zac

    I have a problem with this plugin. It is impossible to download! When I click "Download HeroChat" it brings me to a blank white page with the text "Could not connect to MySQL". The source code on GitHub 404s, and that thing on "Redmine" (I've never heard of it before) the link was bad and it 404s. I need this plugin for my PvP server, so if anyone can offer any help I will appreciate it!
    EDIT
    I searched on Google for "Herochat Bukkit Dev" and downloaded it from the Bukkit Dev page. I no longer need help downloading the plugin.
