@MiracleM4n:

Would it be possible for you to include support for MCSTats3 ? So that the group, a user is in, is displayed there?

thx
Lathanael

 

@Lathanael I will look into this after work
@Rhodori I need to see what nodes you are giving to the players

 

trying it on admins and when i join it says [Admin]Rhodderz
but when i talk it does not appear.
i am using
mchat.prefix.admin

 

Hey,

Is there a way to disallow users writing in colors ? Or disactivating it completely ? It can be a bit of a pain when everyone starts abusing this feature in the chat :/

 

Is mchat causing the green colons at the beginning of every prefix? If so, why? And how can I fix it?

 

@OZ4RK Please paste your mChat config.yml so I can take a look.

@Pr4w I will work on this.
@Rhodri Can I see your Permissions config file?

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

 

Code:

mchat-join-message: is now playing!
mchat-date-format: HH:mm:ss
auto-Changed: 1
mchat-API-only: false
mchat-name-format: +p+dn+s&e
mchat-playerEvent-format: +p+dn+s&e
mchat-kick-message: has been kicked from the game.
mchat-message-format: '+hb+p+dn+s&f: +message'
mchat-leave-message: has left the game.

Tell me if you want my info.yml

 

@OZ4RK Remove +hb from mchat-message-format, Your done.

 

@MiracleM4n
Thanks bro!

 

@OZ4RK No problem

 

Your site is down. I can't download the plugin.

 

@Zach Hinchy Its working for me.

 

Question: I have a person in two groups. The first group has a prefix, the second has a suffix. Is this supported?

Code:

mchat:
    group:
        admin: ''
        sadmin: ''
        mod: ''
        pmoderator: ''
        donator: ''
        m: ''

    prefix:
        admin: '&4[Admin] &4'
        sadmin: '&4[PreAdmin] &4'
        mod: '&a[Mod] &6'
        pmoderator: '&a[PreMod] &a'
        donator: ''
        m: '&2[Builder] &b'
    suffix:
        admin: ''
        sadmin: ''
        mod: ''
        pmoderator: ''
        donator: '&edoner'
        m: ''

 

@ZombieRampage Hmm. Id assume so. I might just have to test it

In the next release (Yes there is going to be a release soon and not just a bug fix) the mchat: group: node in the info.yml will be moved (to groups and will substitute a group name shortener/changer.

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

 

I got it working. And yes, it does work for multiple groups (at least for a two groups)!

 

Well, like I said - PermissionsBukkit has 3 groups (default, player and admin) but mChat will always call each player a 'player', despite being any one of the 3 groups.
If mChat is 'collecting' the groups wrong, then it would obviously show the names wrong, or it could be PermissionsBukkit 'sending' the groups incorrectly (I assume it's this one, since PB is having alot of problems..).

 

Here you go, i only pasted the groups as there is 6434 lines of Users XD
http://pastebin.com/0xCjh23C

 

ok I'm going to try this. ichat didn't work and chat didn't work *sweat drop* lets pray this works

 

Who here thinks I should add groupname aliases and worldname aliases? Also would everyone like it if I add an option to change the static variables? (+prefix +suffix) to anything you like? I can also make it so that you can choose what the variable start character (currently +) is. Please give me your opinion as 1.7.11 is almost ready for release and with it there will hopefully be a TUT video.

as it is case sensitive.

@RBMidknight What OS are you using with this server? It doesnt show up on Windows 7 or CentOS so maybe it is MacOSX Terminal being iffy?

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

 

Nope iirc WindowsServer 2003(Thats what i am using atm, i know i should go get a newer one...) does show them too, would have to test, i mostly ignored those.

 

The server is running CentOS 5.5

 

I do like your the first and last suggestion (groupname aliases and variable start character) but i do not quite get what you mean with adding static variables?

 

It still doesn't work and I'm using spout

 

What I mean by that is server admins having the abilities to change all the variables to anything they want ie +prefix you could change to %PurFex (EXAMPLE).

Are you sure :S. That is odd if so could you PM me so we can talk about this in more detail?

 

Hmm if i got it right you mean something liek this?

Code:

mchat-message-format: '%PurFex +dn&f: %Your_shit_to_say'

If thats what you meant, i would advise against it, as it makes supporting the plugin a little bit harder. One more thing bugs/errors can come from if someone changes it but makes something wrong in the process.

 

@Lathanael That is true. Im just trying to make it so people may be able to more easily understand it if they can change it to something that suites them. (The API doesnt change just the variables as mChat formats the variables itself than sends it to the API already formatted)

 

Does this ahve Global/Local chat?
