Description: (open) Description: (close)

Allows users to color their chat by using a configurable character (By default, the ampersand "&" and the carat "^") followed by a hexadecimal number (0-F). I recieved a request to post this plugin after someone used it on my server.

Rainbow mode is toggled by a configurable command (by default "/colors" and "/colours"). This can be disabled in the settings.

Admin can use the admin command (by default "/ca") to set and reset players' and groups' prefixes/suffixes. If you don't have permissions installed, the admin command will default to Op, and the two groups that will exist are: "Op" and "Default"

Users can change their own prefixes and suffixes using configurable commands (by default "/prefix" and "/suffix").

A small note about version numbers: x.y.z

• X.Y represents the Minecraft version number that was out when the update was released.
• The Z represents the release number.

So the version 1.7.2 would indicate that it is the second release of the plugin, on minecraft 1.7

Starting with version 2.0.0,
The version number is unrelated to the minecraft version. It goes by major.minor.release

Any questions, comments, suggestions, or plugin breaks (I'm not always on the latest version of CB), please post here.

To color a name, just set a prefix with the last 2 characters be the hex code for the color (using the character set in the properties file).

I'm working on all of those, although the latest beta has support for permissionsbukkit (beta 2.0.4b). I forgot to add the link to the main post, but it's on bukkitdev.

I'm not aware of the player issued command issue, but I'll take a look at it. The console commands issue will be fixed with colors 3.0, which will be the next available version after 2.0.4 is released.

Thanks for your response!

the "<player> issued server command: <command>" seems to be working again, might've be something on my end. but the groups support for permissionsBukkit doesn't seem to do anything (either case sensitive or insensitive) group prefixes (except for Default) don't work.

And if I may ask for a feature. I'm looking for something that allows players to hide chat from other players for them personally. I can't find a plugin that does this, and since this sort of is a chat plugin it might be a nice feature.

 

StabbedBit
I think that feature request would be better served as a separate plugin. My feeling on it is that if someone posts a message to the server/global chat, that chat message should go to everyone.

I did have an idea for a feature that would work well with your feature request that I could make into a separate plugin, but I'm pretty busy currently and I'm having trouble finding the time to update this plugin.

I'll think about it and make it when I have time. Thanks for the suggestion though.

 

I noticed you don't override the /say command, could you look in to overriding it?
I use it from time to time to tell players about certain commands but prefixes and everything don't show when using /say
