herochat vs. essencials chat

I find the whole channel thing very confusing and odd.
We need herochat to separate chat between worlds
however herochat conflicts with essentials chat and this is very annoying.
I have googled for hours and a lot of people say to uninstall one or the other, but i really need both.
How do I use permissionex to make certain user groups have different color chat in herochat?

 

seriously, I think if plugins are not compatible, warn the autors and disable one of them... or try Simple Prefix or another plugins

 

It's not possible to fix this incompatibility, unfortunately. You'll have to find a way to manage with one or the other.

HOWEVER, with your permissionsex question, have you tried using the bundled ChatManager.

 

it is completely impossible to have both work with each other, without very specific hooks, due to herochat outputting its own formats.
