[CHAT] XcraftChat v0.2 - Chat formatting w/o permissions plugin dependencies [1000-1317]

XcraftChat - Version: v0.2.2

Just another chat formatting plugin, trying to get rid of permission plugin dependencies.

Still permissions are used to determine some settings, but you don't have to use it for "groups". So this also works with SuperPerms.

Supports SuperPerms and any permissions plugin providing a Permissions 2.x compatible interface.

Commands:

• /xchat - reloads the XcraftChat config

Permissions
XcraftChat.reload - permission to use /xchat


Downloads:
XcraftChat.jar (wget friendly)


Installation:
Put the XcraftChat.jar into your plugins folder and reload/restart your server. A default config will be created automatically.


Source Code:
github (Licence: GPLv3)


Configuration:

The config.yml is splitted into 3 sections.

a) The config section

Example (open) Example (close)

Code:

config:
    chatformat: [$group$] $playername$: $message$
    timeformat: HH:mm:ii

The chatformat config describes the format of your chatlines. Tags are enclosed by $. You can use any tagname you like. Unknown tags will be replaced with "".

The timeformat config describes the apperance of the time tag. This can be any String recognised by SimpleDateFormat

Predefined tags are playername, message, health (The player's health in the range of 0-20), world and time.

Predefined tags can be overwritten in the permissions section.

b) The permissions section

In the permissions section you define or overwrite tags specific to the users having a certain permission.

Example (open) Example (close)

Code:

permissions:
    some.permission.node:
        group: SomeGroup
    some.bad.permission.node:
        group: BadUser
        message: I'm stupid!

You can use permission nodes provided by other plugins or create your own ones.

The first permission that matches wins. To use the example above, if a user has "some.permission.node" AND "some.bad.permission.node" the first one would be used.

c) The users section

In the users section you define or overwrite tags specific to single users.

Example (open) Example (close)

Code:

users:
    Engelier:
        group: Developer
        playername: Son of Notch

Tags are parsed in the following order: Global predefined tags => permission tags => user tags.

Given I had the permission "some.bad.permission.node" and NOT "some.permission.node" and all the examples above in the config.yml my chatlines would look like this:

[Developer] Son of Notch: I'm stupid!

You can use ColorCodes in your chatformat and tags. ColorCodes are defined by a & followed by it's hexadecimal number found here.


Donations:

Note: For sure donating is purely optional! XcraftChat is released under the terms of GPLv3, so you have (and will always have) the freedom to use, study, share and improve it as you like!

how do i add other users to the config.yml file?

If i do it my way, al the other text turned red.

help me please;D

Grtz

 

It would help if you'd post your config.yml.

 

Code:

users:
    Ixbitz:
        tag: '&aAdmin&f'
permissions:
    some.permission.node:
        tag: '&aAdmin&f'
config:
    chatformat: '[$tag$] $playername$: $message$'
    timeformat: HH:mm:ss

 

I can see no error there. But there also is only one user.
Please show me your config.yml when you get the error.

 

It's just fixed, a friend helped.

but thx anyway

 

This is one of the few plugins that does not collide with some other plugins that use prefixes It shows both the prefixed set here and set in the other plugin.
One question though, is it possible to set message color for players individually?

So 2 minutes after I posted I suddenly thought of something else to try and it worked

Code:

users:
    NiliusJulius:
        tag: '&4[&cAdmin&4]&f'
        messagecolor: '&6'
    Engelier:
        tag: '&cX&9craft&aDev&f'
permissions:
    some.permission.node:
        tag: '&cX&9craft&aChat&f'
config:
    timeformat: HH:mm:ss
    chatformat: '$tag$ $playername$: $messagecolor$$message$'

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

 

Finally, exactly what I need. And it works for 1337
