    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!

    Could you perhaps add towny support? I'm sure your plugin would increase activity tenfold if you would add towny support

    We are using HeroChat 5.5 and PermissionsEX 1.19.1 with MC 1.2.4.
    If using /tell or /msg, a yellow message pops up that says: "Insufficient permission".

    But this is not a problem with false permission setup, as players do have the - herochat.pm permission.

    Another problem is, that the - herochat.force.join.<channel> and - herochat.autojoin.<channel> permissions do not work.
    On 1.1 they worked fine with HeroChat 5.5.
    Our Guests now have to join a channel manually before anyone can hear them or talk with them. This is very annoying. :(

  14. lol, the only problem with that is that I do read, its just that none of the links work, not even the one with his buggy update. Every link on the description is broken. You should try the links for yourself before making stupid comments.

    Q: How do I get this to show data from plugin XYZ? A: Every plugin handles chat modifications differently. Many plugins will search a message’s format for a particular string (such as {town} in Towny’s case) and replace it with a piece of data. You will need to refer to each plugin’s documentation to see what it expects in the message format.
    Post the link to bukkit dev clearly in the thread please, It really helps if you were wondering.

    Hey, :D

    Is there a way in this plugin that I can remove myself from the global chat and just talk in a private chat with other people? This is because I want to do a Lets Play on my server and it is a little annoying when there is constant talk in the global chat coming up on the screen.
    Thankyou. :D
