    Permissions 3.0
    Rcjrrcjr has been working quite hard on this upgrade to Permissions. However, it currently still suffers from a number of bugs. The most important of these which directly affects HeroChat is the non-functioning of prefixes and suffixes. There are less-than-pretty workarounds, but I'm refraining from fully supporting an update until Permissions 3.1 is released which should include a number of significant bug fixes. When this does occur, however, I have a build ready for you guys that should work. You can download it here. Again, I highly suggest not using this until Permissions 3.1 is released unless you really don't care about prefixes and such.

    See you when I get back!

    Is your config resetting when you make changes?
    If you make changes to the config while the server is running, you need to use the /ch reload command to make the changes stick. I wish this message wasn't necessary, but people only seem to read things in big, bold, red text (if at all).

    Have a problem? a feature request? Go here.
    HeroChat now has its very own redmine found here. If you have an issue or would like to suggest a new feature, I urge you to file it via redmine. I will be checking this much more often than this thread from here on out.

    Show your thanks! Maintaining plugins like HeroChat is very nearly a full time job. If you enjoy my plugins and appreciate the support I provide, then please consider providing some support of your own. Donating even a tiny amount keeps me motivated and makes me feel loved so go ahead and donate!

    @DThielke
    Im looking to switch to bpermissions/PEX - bukkit permissions, very soon as opposed to permissions 3.1.6
    Wondering if this plugin works with it? Sorry If I missed it on the first page.

    They will not. PermissionsBukkit and Permissions use totally different APIs. Even with SuperpermBridge, they won't likely add support because it makes plugins depend on the old way of doing things. Configuration and permission are seperate things now, like they should be.
    It will not require a massive recode, and is likely to be how the feature is implemented. This is the proper way to do prefixes based on Superperms, anyway.

    Read the Instalation and Configuration Wiki about formatting. You need to use Permissonions 3 or PEX to get prefixes working, at the moment using PermissionsBukkit with SuperpermBridge doesn't support prefixes (asking SuperpermBridge for a prefix just returns nothing because Superperms doesn't do options like prefixes).

    Check your config.yml file; it sounds like HeroChat couldn't load it. Do you get any errors on startup or any other time? Please post the full error inside a spoiler or pastebin, and also your config file. Also, do you run on a hosting service or on your own machine? Did you recently change anything (that you know of)? Was the server running the whole time this happened or was it restarted? All these questions need to be answered for us to get an idea of what might be wrong.

    I get no errors at startup, it says something like
    [INFO] [HeroChat] 4.10 enabled
    [INFO] [HeroChat] Found permissions!

    And then it opens the other plugins, I host my server on my own machine. I didn't change anything in the config file, but i change so many other plugins tho. And I can't remember if the server was running or no, but suddenly this happened. :(

    Well.. that blows I have all the chat configured using mChat... Cause I use PermissionsBukkit and SuperPermBridge.. so for now I can't do it? :/

    4am

    If you are using mChat why are you also using HeroChat? Did you mean you wanted to switch to HeroChat?

    HeroChat currently doesn't support prefixes and suffixes using SuperPerms, no. This is because the latest version of HeroChat released came out before SuperPerms was build into Bukkit.

    The new version is likely to have support, but we'll have to wait until that comes out.

    If you use using SuperPerms, PEX has support for both SuperPerms for Permissions 3.x plugins (so I'm told - I'd go check it out), so if you use PEX to manage your permissions instead of PermissionBukkit you'll get all the features. I'm going to look into this at some point myself; it may be a worthwhile change while we wait for a HeroChat 5.0

    Is there anything in your config.yml file at all? I'm not entirely sure how HeroChat would react, but perhaps the config file is blank? Also, did you modify any permissions?

    I've got a few questions...
    Is this like EssentialsChat where it kills other chat plugins?
    Is HeroChat compatible with another chat plugin that supplies prefixes? (jChat/mChat)
    Is this compatible with bPermissions?
    Is this worth having on a server if i ONLY want Channels and censorship? (There are "younger" players on my serv)
    Are the prefixes in this plugin able to do this without any other chat plugins for color?

    My their very nature, Chat plugins are not compatible with each other, especially full-on solutions like mChat or HeroChat. You should only ever really use one plugin that affects chat, unless the plugins where specifically designed to work with each other.

    HeroChat supports prefixes and suffixes (including color), but it uses the old Permissions 3.x system because it has not yet been updated for Superperms. A solution to this (I am told) is to run PEX, which provides both a Permissions 3 interface with working prefixes and suffixes, but also it sets nodes through Bukkit's Superperms so plugins which have already converted to the new system will work as well.

    Is it possible to have support for permissionsbukkit included here so the plugin can see groups properly?
    Also, two "Unsupported operation"s everytime anyone says anything in chat..

    Channel name is done by the {nick} field, so remove that from the message format for the default channel.
