    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!

    I already have. Go read all of what I said rather than the first paragraph.

    Another tip - read and think for yourself.

    You definitely have a penchant for not fully reading what is in front of you. Allow me to elaborate:

    1. There is practically no documentation for the CraftIRC integration. It is a small section which does not show examples of working HeroChat IRC integration configuration settings or configuration changes which need to be done to CraftIRC to even get it to work.

      He does point out this (as a sorry little one-liner):



      This is incorrect. I tried this and it failed using CraftIRC 2.13 and HeroChat v4.10.3. I had to enable these events AND change 'cancelled-chat' to true only after discovering what was going on through looking at CraftIRC debug messages.
    2. It doesn't provide the correct configuration settings - just more one-liners. I read through this thread, found countless people with the same problem (who were equally ignored) and nobody posted their working CraftIRC configurations. The documentation fails to point out if you're supposed to list the IRC channel or related CraftIRC TAG node. It states "channel tag" which is conflicting because he fails to additionally point out if he is referencing an IRC channel name or the channel tag inside CraftIRC's config.yml.
    3. He deviates from the standard use of a reload command. This is also poorly documented. Dear God I don't want to elaborate on this one. What a boatload of fail. And he has the nerve to get angry!

    I have. I even posted my HeroChat config.yml. Did you miss that too? Learn to read and I will gladly stop the ad hominem attacks. Until then I am rightfully pissed off that a broken plugin exists with ill-supporting documentation while the resident fanbois fiercely defend a buggy piece of software with feigned righteousness when someone asks for simple help while providing his HeroChat configuration and relevant CraftIRC settings.

    @nemesis91 Broken? Buggy? Go away.
    There are so many responses to this thread that we can't catch them all, so no we didn't see your config. So back off. At least you figured out what was wrong. Good for you. Now stop spamming the thread with your selfrighteous attitude, and let us help people who actually need it.

    CraftIRC documentation was changed. "Last edited by ochristi, June 07, 2011" - perhaps this did not used to be true? I don't remember having to do that. Again, it has been a while since I updated or reconfigured CraftIRC; however I don't think its fair you get angry because you failed to read and understand CraftIRC's documentation. It is not HeroChat's job to document CraftIRC, and while there is a discrepancy between the two, you would have realized that based on actually reading both. Then you could have politely pointed this out for others, which would have helped the author of this plugin be aware of an outstanding issue and others in the thread to understand a solution to this problem.

    You definitely have a penchant for not fully reading what is in front of you. I don't see how that could be made any clearer.

    I dont' recall the author of this plugin getting angry at anyone (or posting to you). I'm not going to go back 67 pages and look for it, either. This plugin was created before Bukkit has persistence, and saving the config file when the plugin is disabled is used as a method to preserve any channel changes and settings you may have made in-game. This is WELL documented. If you INSIST on editing your config file while your server is running, /ch reload. I'm fairly certain many major plugins have their own reload command so that config changes can be made without /reload-ing the whole server. WordEdit and Essentials come to mind immediately.

    No one had to defend anything until you acted like an ass to try and get attention. Perhaps next time offer some constructive criticism instead of whinning like a baby.

    Because nobody is answering here is my problem again:

    Sounds like you need to post an error log because you have an issue with your config probably.
    You probably have Essentials Chat.

    4am

    It sounds like you are making a change to the config file which isn't valid YAML. When the plugin tries to reload, it doesn't have a config to go by (because it can't be loaded) and it disables itself. Are there any errors in your log when this happens? You should see errors from snakeYAML and then HeroChat will say its disabled. If you could post a spoiler of the snakeYAML error and what you're changing, we can help further.

    Make sure you're not using any other chat plugins like iChat, mChat, EssentialsChat, or two copies of HeroChat by accident.

    Weird, your post didn't show up before but now I see it. Well anyway, yes, correct on both counts.

    Post your config. Sounds odd.
    And make sure you edit your config while the server is offline.

    You have your global channel's nickname set to "DEFAULT-NICK". The 'nickname' field is supposed to be a shortened name for your channel (this is normally set to 'g') so you can do /g <message> and send a message to that channel quickly, without changing your focus when you're in more than one channel.

    The reason you see it is that your default display-format settings are used (because of message-format: '{default}') and default-message-format: '{color}[{nick}] &f{prefix}{player}{suffix}{color}: ' puts the channel nickname the message is coming from before the player's prefix.

    If you prefer, you can edit your default-message-format: to not have {nick} in it, but then you won't know what channel a message came from!

    Change nickname: DEFAULT-NICK to nickname: 'g' and your problem will be solved (HeroChat will operate like normal). What where you trying to do when you changed your setting like that? Perhaps we can suggest a way to accomplish what you wanted?

    If you edit your config file while HeroChat is running, use /ch reload - don't /reload your plugins. When HeroChat is reloaded by the server, it saves over your config file with whatever settings are currently running (this is to preserve your channels in case you made new ones in-game). If you /ch reload, it forces all settings from the config file to be loaded from disk. PLEASE NOTE - if any players have made channels, they'll be deleted if they haven't been saved to the config file previously.
     
  12. Are you using CraftBukkit RB 1000? As I pointed out before, I too had HeroChat and CraftIRC working well together until upgrading to build 1000 from some 1.6.6 build. Several others have reported this problem. IRC-to-game works, game-to-IRC doesn't. Can you confirm - IS there a problem with the v4 code, then?

    Edit: Perhaps this bug (if it is a bug) is the source of confusion regarding the quality of the documentation.

    my sever will not be taking advantage of the whole multichannel thing. I only want 1 channel. the only reason i have herochat is to color my users names via the GlobalGroups.yml from Permissions 3.1.6. So your telling me there is no way to completely get rid of it?

    Get rid of the nick name? Easy, like this.
    Code:
        default-message-format: '&f{prefix}{player}{suffix}{color}: '

    No, you certainly can get rid of it and have one channel. Do the following:
    1. Under the Channels: section of your config, remove everything except the Global: subsection (you might want to keep Staff and AlertSystem so you and your mods have a private channel - this is up to you though).
    2. In your globals: section (at the top, not the Channel: named Global), change default-message-format: and remove "{color}[{nick}]" from the beginning of it; this is telling HeroChat you want to insert the channel's color: and then the nickname: from the channel's config section. Remove this and HeroChat will start with '&f{prefix}{player}{suffix}{color}:'
    3. Optionally, if you want your channels to default to white text, remove {color} from the end of the string as well, and move the color indicator before {player} and before the colon, so you have default-message-format: '{prefix}&f{player}{suffix}&f:'. This says to HeroChat "show the prefix (including any color settings), then change to white text and show the player's name, then show the suffix (including any color settings), then change to white, then a colon'. The player's message is automatically appended to the end of this.
    4. Under your Channels: for Global: in the options: secton, change forced: true and make sure auto-join: is also true. This makes your players join the Global channel and ensures they cannot leave it for any reason.
    5. In your permissions, make sure that only Admins (or mods or whatever) have access to any of the HeroChat commands; otherwise users might be able to change/create channels.
    It looks like a lot of work because I explained the reasons for doing everything, but this should probably take you less than 5 minutes to do. be sure you shut down your server before you edit your config (it's the safest way - once you are done you shouldn't need to edit this again). Let me know if you have any issues!

    I appreciate all the help, but i have no clue what you said. I feel like an idiot lol. I managed to do everything but i got stuck at 2 &3. it removed the nick, but now the colors (set by the Prefix in Permissions) isnt there. can you edit this for me?

    Code:
    globals:
        separate-chat-log: false
        incoming-tell-format: '&8From {player}: &d'
        censors:
        - \bu+\W*m+a+d+(\W*br(a|o)+)?
        - some_other_word;replacement
        plugin-tag: '§e[HeroChat] '
        craftIRC-prefix: '#'
        outgoing-tell-format: '&8To {receiver}: &d'
        default-channel: Global
        default-message-format: '{color} &f{prefix}{player}{suffix}{color}: '
        craftIRC-message-format: '[{nick}] {player}: '
    channels:
        Global:
            color: WHITE
            nickname: g
            permissions:

    The {color} at the start of the default-message-format: is unecessary (the &f immediately changes whatever the color is into white), so you can get rid of that and the &f, just to be sure those are not the issue (they shouldn't be).

    Based on what you told me, your default-message-format should be:
    Code:
    default-message-format: '{prefix}&f{player}{suffix}&f: '
    This forces the {player} and everything from the colon (':') to the end of the message to be white; and should allow for custom colors included in the prefix and suffix fields.

    The only reason {prefix} wouldn't have the right color is if the color wasn't set/applied correctly in Permissions; make sure you're specifying the colors correctly, and there aren't any per-world or per-user prefixes set that will override the global-group prefix. HeroChat posts the prefix unmodified as it is returned from Permissions (I even checked the source code), so focus on Permissions config for the answer for now.

    recently started using this :D and like it.
    1 major problem, when joining a channel you have to type the /prefix for each message. :(

    i got a channel named "nordic" so people join nordic and chat there.
    but have to type /nordic infront of each message is annoying.. cant we be chatting in the last channel we used
    so i stay in nordic until i maybe switch back to /g etc ?
    Cant find any info in the wiki on this subject.

    After you join a channel, I thought it was the primary focus (my server is set up with a Local and a Global and they're both forced, so I don't join/part chat channels much). If not, /ch focus <channel|nickname> will set your focus on the channel of your choosing, and regular chat will just go there without using commands. A user's focus is preserved across /reloads and server restarts in the users.yml file (don't edit this file unless you know what you're doing!)

    While in multiple channels, you will see messages from both. using the /<nickname> shortcus command is only for sending quick one-off messages to a channel without changing focus (admins can use the AlertMe channel with /a for example) without having to switch, chat, and then switch back.

    tx, for some reason my channel is set to "local" but only me. that sux.
    tryed leaving/rejoing global didnt work.

    I udated to CB1000 with HeroChat 4.10.3 recently, and for some reason the focus on channels doesn't seem to work anymore. I also use CraftIRC 2.13

    If I do /staff <text>, my message show up in staff channel. No problem here.
    But if I do, /ch staff - plugin return "Set Focus on Staff" However, my next text shows up in Global.

    Also, the [g] doesn't appear before text as it use to do when we talk in Global. But it does for other channels. Here's my config file.

    Code:
    globals:
        separate-chat-log: false

    I've removed couple of channels because I have more then 10. But they're all exactly like AT.

    Any clues?
