    Hello,

    Now before you reply to this thread saying "essentials" "permissions" "ColorMe" and all the other plugins that are suppose to do this. I have now spent over 24 hours on my PC trying to get all those to work ONE at a time. NOTHING NONE of it works.

    Although, bpermissions does color my name on the chat menu but not above my head and on the TAB list.

    I need the name above my head colored along with the name on chat and in the TAB menu list. I'm requesting someone help me with this however they can. If someone could please make something simple to use that can do all this... I know for a fact I would not be the only one to be grateful.

    If you search the Internet there are a lot of people that are looking for a plugin that does this. I'm not the only one.

    So if anyone can make it or AT LEAST point me in the right direction to finding a good plugin that does all that, it would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Why are you using bPermissions if ColorMe isnt working with it?

    If you want color above your head it will remove your skin, and people would just see default.

    What? You lost me. bpermissions IS WORKING FINE. But it doesn't color both my name above my head or in the TAB list...

    That's what I'm looking for...

    So what your saying is there is NO possible way to change your name color without it changing your skin? Because I have seen youtube videos of people using some kind of plugin. I mean, ColorMe and a few other plugins are suppose to work but are not for me and a lot of other people.

    So it would mean a great deal to me if someone would be willing to spend sometime trying to help me figure this out. I am so stressed right now. I promise that I have been working on trying to change my name color for over a full 24 hours of sitting at my desk. I can't find ANYTHING but I know it's possible. I've seen it on other peoples servers and i've seen in many times on youtube.

    Very true. I have never been a great reader or writer. I was born German and learned English at a older age then most. So I'm sloppy here and there.

    This has to be possible, becouse MineZ uses this ;)

    Well that explains it, sorry for being rude.

    It is possible, but like I said it will remove your skin in place of your default.

    I've seen people in MineZ with their skins and gold nameplates.

    No you haven't ;D

    It will be your texturepacks default, so it may not look like steve but they are the default.

    It's called TAGAPI, and you need to code a plugin that uses it.

    Also look on that, there is no skin feature, as it is client side. The second you put a color on a name it will turn the skin to default.

    Right off the bat from my experience using essentials can give you colored names in Chat and in the tab list. Keep note that using any coloring plugin that changes someones name will result in a tab completion bug. Basically you can't press tab to complete their names. But because of 1.3 most plugins don't let you do that any ways.

    But looking at the comments found a plugin i might even used. http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/nametags/ So using essentials for in-game and tab colors then you the plugin o posted to get colors above ppls names.

    I didn't know the tab colours were even changable? but why do you want that lol sounds like a waste of time to do that, you can do suffix and prefix (custom colour/tag) with PEX have you tried that?

    Yes. Didn't change my above name.

    Where can I find a tutorial for this? I can't understand the directions from the download page :(

    Give yourself the: nametags.color.<color> permission and you'll get that color.
    You'll also have to install TagAPI.

    Do you have permissions set up on your server? Cause if you do then here are the permission nodes just give who ever you want to have which ever colored name the permission like if you want defaults with blue give them nametags.color.blue
    Here are list of Permissions:
    nametags.color.black
    nametags.color.dark_blue
    nametags.color.dark_green
    nametags.color.dark_aqua
    nametags.color.dark_red
    nametags.color.dark_purple
    nametags.color.gold
    nametags.color.gray
    nametags.color.dark_gray
    nametags.color.blue
    nametags.color.green
    nametags.color.aqua
    nametags.color.red
    nametags.color.light_purple
    nametags.color.yellow
    nametags.format.magic
    nametags.format.bold
    nametags.format.strikethrough
    nametags.format.underline
    nametags.format.italic
    (Italics Is italic Magic is §k or &k the one where it just goes random bold is like REALLYBOLD strike through is a line through your name and finally underline is just plain underline)

    You don't need essentials, just use your bPermissions and follow some guide somewhere to know how to use, or ask someone up there ^ to help you with bPermissions.

    They are both plugins. TagAPI and NameTags. Just install both like any other plugin. Once you have them installed and restarted your Server to have all the stuff start its self. Add the name tag color node to the group you want.
