    iChat 2.x - Custom Chat Formatting
    Version: 2.4.4
    CraftBukkit: 1337

    Plugin Support:
    PermissionsBukkit
    bPermissions
    Permissions 2.x
    Permissions 3.x

    If you are requesting help, post your entire server log (From the time it opens, until somebody talks), your entire Permission config file (As well as what it's named), and iChat config files. This information is REQUIRED for me to help you.
    http://pastebin.com/ <-- Post configs there when asking for help

    =============
    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
    Source: https://github.com/TheDgtl/iChat

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

    Did you setup the variables.yml? 2.4.x works differently and needs to be reconfigured. Please look at the first post.

    I am sry, please accept my apologize.
    I was angry at the fact two of the base plugins I use can't work together anymore.
    Sorry for my rage, you don't deserve that atetude.

    Anyway - deleted your plugin. I stick to PEX + it's chat manager. It color's user's name but doest have [GROUP] before it.

    Anyway I wont to asure you that even assholes like me approciate your work and are really thankful.

    He doesn't support PermissionsEX, as he has said many times. And I believe others have said it just does not work in general for it.

    What, do you want a gold star or something? Good for you.

    Please read the topic for your chosen permissions handler in regards to how to set permissions.

    i only put the prefix once in the permissions prefix but when i log on it doubles the prefix! for example: i wrote in the prefix box: [Owner] but when i login and talk it comes up as [Owner][Owner]. Please help!!!!

    ZachBora

    That`s probably because in your ichat format string you placed +group. You should remove that one.

    Group:

    Permissions:
    group.default: true

    I got a problem, I had Ichat before 1240 update and I had the bukkit version before 1240 (11850) and it would put user groups as prefixes. Now it will not. How do I change this?

    Ok dude, im honestly about to kill myself. Put the FULL file up. NOT THE JAR. The full file. I have been searching every single site in teh world for it. No-one has it. So can you put it up?

    ZachBora

    What does this even mean? A jar is a file. When you start your server the first time it creates the default configuration files. What more would you want?

    There is even a link for the source code.

    I don't get it. Are you sure it's not another plugin doing that? What's "rEssentials" I couldn't find it. Disable iChat and see if it still shows owner twice.
