    So I downloaded this RPGChat plugin and it works, and everythings good but when you Type something In-Character it says [PlayersIn-Game-Name] Which I don't want, I want it to say there Nickname. The Format is below, how do I fix that?

    OOC:
    Message Layout: '[OOC] %prefix &7[%Player]&f '

    @Ranger2415 Why don't you just use EssentialsChat?

    @Ranger2415 But what would be different about it from Essentials? Also, make sure you tag or quote me if you want to be sure I see your post!

    @nverdier because with this its simple and has everything that I need for it. I've never used Essentials Chat and I would rather not learn how to use it. I'm currently using RoleplayChat but its bulky so i'm looking for something better.

    @Ranger2415 With Essentials:
    1) Set format in config.
    2) /nick <player> <nickname>

    @nverdier Where in it? I posted below.

    ############################################################
    # +------------------------------------------------------+ #
    # | EssentialsChat | #
    # +------------------------------------------------------+ #
    ############################################################

    chat:

    # If EssentialsChat is installed, this will define how far a player's voice travels, in blocks. Set to 0 to make all chat global.
    # Note that users with the "essentials.chat.spy" permission will hear everything, regardless of this setting.
    # Users with essentials.chat.shout can override this by prefixing text with an exclamation mark (!)
    # Users with essentials.chat.question can override this by prefixing text with a question mark (?)
    # You can add command costs for shout/question by adding chat-shout and chat-question to the command costs section."
    radius: 0

    # Chat formatting can be done in two ways, you can either define a standard format for all chat.
    # Or you can give a group specific chat format, to give some extra variation.
    # If set to the default chat format which "should" be compatible with ichat.
    # For more information of chat formatting, check out the wiki: http://wiki.ess3.net/wiki/Chat_Formatting

    format: '<{DISPLAYNAME}> {MESSAGE}'
    #format: '&7[{GROUP}]&r {DISPLAYNAME}&7:&r {MESSAGE}'

    group-formats:
    # Default: '{WORLDNAME} {DISPLAYNAME}&7:&r {MESSAGE}'
    # Admins: '{WORLDNAME} &c[{GROUP}]&r {DISPLAYNAME}&7:&c {MESSAGE}'

    # If you are using group formats make sure to remove the '#' to allow the setting to be read.

    @nverdier Just the top part? And put "format: '<{NICK}> {MESSAGE}' like that?

    @Ranger2415 It automatically uses the display name (nickname) if you set that to true towards the top of the config.

    @Ranger2415 Please put your Essentials config.yml in a pastebin.

    Are you using Factions? What version is your server?

    @nverdier I apologize, I was mistaking this problem with another problem I had regarding Factions changing my format, but after looking at the file more closely, I've figured out the source of the problem.

    Do note, though, that @Ranger2415 has just opened another thread today regarding HeroChat, so I don't believe this thread needs to remain open any longer / his other thread needs to be merged here.
