Solved Question regarding Essentials plugin

Hello.

I was just wondering on how to change the main color of essentials. What I mean with this is for example
MinniPvP is now AFK. What I want is to change the 'is now AFK' to the color I like. Annother example is a shop sign. I want the ability to change the 'Buy'/'Sold' to a different color. So basically I want to change the color

Thank you

Best Regards

The easiest way to do this is to first install WinRAR, right-click your Essentials.jar, and then click "Open with WinRAR". After that, open the file called messages_en.properties and edit away! These are the strings that are displayed in-game. Also, make sure to always restart your server, not reload.

 

Ok, thank you very much. I just have one last question. Do you have a link or a guide on how to use the color codes. Or what they are called. What I mean with color codes is for example this: \u00a73 or something similar. Thank you once again @oceantheskatr

 

@MinniPvP, Not sure what you mean, what are they put out like in the file?

 

After that I did what @oceantheskatr told me, then this was written (just a part of the config, all I want to know is how to change the colors. Whitch I belive is the numbers that have a \[some numbers]) I just want to know where I can see what the different color codes is

action=\u00a75* {0} \u00a75{1}

\u00a74

The 4 in that is the colour code. You can change the 4 to something between 0-9 or a-f for colours, and then the ones for formating (l, m, n, o)

 

So you mean that the last number is the colorcode, using this colorcodes that you can find here: https://www.google.no/search?q=mine...xtojOr5TM:&usg=__ANtw9gh7NRUm4Zwq--uZEiuwbSA= ?

 

@MinniPvP Yes, thats what he means

 

Yeah

 

Thank you very much @oceantheskatr and @Binner_Done for your excellent help
