Work in progress of the original request found here
This project was started on July 23, 2011. (And coded at a very slow pace. Busy Man I am)

Channel Chat v0.0​

Lightweight, Simple(?), Chat Channels​

Has found a new home @:

http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/channel-chat/

 

What an awesome idea >_>
Thanks Feildmaster, my savior once again.
Move your ass and lets get this into Submissions <3

 

AdvancedPail has a bit more priority over this... =P

 

I was totally confused as to why I was tagged in this I know now though; there was really no need but thank you

 

@EdTheLoon : No problem. On a side note... (Anything to get more views/replies)

 

Interestingly enough my chat channel plugin used /cc then changed to /chat lol

 

@captainawesome7 : Interestingly enough, I had 80% of my code/commands made 2 weeks ago. =P

 

Now that I have AdvancedPail out for testing, I'll be working on this and try and get a release out, adding a few channel features.

 

Is it possible to make it so only certain groups or people would be allowed in certain chats? Or is there already something I could use for that. I like this though because it seems simple enough

 

@Minnich : You will be able to password protect channels if you "really" want to, at a later date. (It will also hide it from the list of channels)
Inviting(adding) people into the channel bypasses the password, and anyone can invite into a channel once they are in it.

EDIT: I guess I should call it "add," instead.

 

Okay thanks for the answer. Will be looking for this when you are done.

 

Hows it coming along, sir?

 

This is awesome good sir; surely you will release this at 1.8? Most all servers will want this plugin.

 

I will try to get a very light demo out by tomorrow, if not tomorrow, then next week.

 

I'd like to take a poll, at this point, after making a private channel it goes away on reload.

What would you like to happen for private channels?

1- Save them​

2- Keep it how it is​

3- Other (explain)​

 

Keep it how it is.

Also, regarding private channels, how will they function?
Will they act like HeroChat's did, where you would do "/tell <name>"?
If so, they definitely should be reset on reload, or once you leave the channel.

 

Private channels will be any player using :
/cc create <channel>
(should that be renamed? maybe... "cc new"?)

Then using the channel name/invite command, can have as many people inside it as they want.

There will probably be a command to make a private channel a global channel in game... So you don't have to make them over the YAML, or console. (Will require a permission)

 

So "/cc <channel>" makes a permanent/ global channel, and "/cc new <channel>" makes a temporary private channel
Is that correct? If so, the private channel syntax really should be condensed, maybe something like "/cc temp <name>" or "/cc private <name>", and the channel should be removed once the owner deletes/leaves it.

 

No. "/cc <channel>" is the same as "/cc create <channel>" (just shorter.)

If you make a channel through the console though, it makes it global.

created/private channels delete when they have no members in them. (or when the server is reloaded/restarted)

 

Well, in that case, I think you need two different channel creation commands, for two different types of channels.
One command that makes a permanent channel, which remains after a reload, restart, or owner leaving the channel. Then you should have a temporary channel, which, like i said above, is removed upon the owner leaving the channel.
Hope this helps/ is implemented.

Edit: Scratch all of that, I didn't read/comprehend your entire post before responding. The global channels through console sound good, but I still would suggest the channel is removed if the channel founder leaves or deletes it.
Also, Were you planning on adding permissions? If you did, then a global channel creation command, in game,along with channel administration abilities would be nice.
Regardless, I'm definitely using this Plugin when it's released.

 

@Retricide : yes I intend to add permissions (SuperPerms).
Channel admin in game will be a feature. I'll also be making "Pail" support.

For channel removed if founder leaves, I don't think I'll do that.. BUT the founder can delete it.

 

Sounds good. Any idea when a test/dev. build will be released? I'd love to help test.

 

@Retricide : Either by sunday of this week... or later.

I keep getting bored/busy with other plugins.

(And I just threw together a basic Local Chat Plugin, in a few minutes)

 

Speaking of which...
Will a local chat channel be integrated into this plugin?

 

@Retricide : It may, or may not be. I'm not worrying about the extra features that much at the moment.

For anyone wanting to get ChannelChat, I have released v0.1 beta.
