thankyou very much!

 

For everyone who is having difficulties please use one of the DEV builds on my Jenkins. Unless stated otherwise all build that have succeeded on there will be stable.

 

Greetings MiracleM4n, this looks like an excellent plugin-in thanks for your work on it!

I have a quick question, is there any way to use this plugin to add colored names per world? For example, if a player is in a world called survival, their name is green, if they are in world_nether their name is red, etc.

I've played around a bit with the variables to try and get this sort of functionality to work, but have been unable to so far - is this even possible?

Thanks again for your time and keep up the great work. Cheers.


ETA: Ok, I got it working by doing this (see below) Thanks again for this killer plugin!

worldnames:
world: '&f'
ark: '&b'
mothership: '&6'
world_nether: '&4'
skyworld: '&7'
anothership: '&5'
survival: '&2'
othership: '&9'

 

its possible to deactivate this 3?

Code:

mchat-join-message: 'has joined the game.'
mchat-kick-message: 'has been kicked from the game.'
mchat-message-format: '+<custVar>+prefix+group+suffix+name&f: +message'

 

Hi,
I am using mChat and PermissionsEx, but I can't get prefixes to work.
I am using the latest Version of mChat an RB 1185
Could you please help me ?

Thx​

 

Maybe I'm weird, but I *liked* the mchat.info file setup, and was using it happily under PermissionsEx until the latest version of mChat (so I kept the older one). Unfortunately, the latest craftbukkit (non-rec build) 1195 breaks 1.7.11.1:

Code:

10:27 AM [SEVERE] Error occurred while enabling mChat v1.7.11.1 (Is it up to date?): tried to access method org.bukkit.craftbukkit.command.ColouredConsoleSender.<init>(Lorg/bukkit/craftbukkit/CraftServer;)V from class net.D3GN.MiracleM4n.mChat.mChat 

[EDIT- UPDATE]: 1.7.12 starts with no errors. Build 1195 also breaks the latest mChat-Dev build too.
Changes in Crafytbukkit I expect.
... I'm gonna migrate to 1.7.12.x, but can I ask for optional support for the superperms-stype .info file under PEx? It wasn't that hard to configure, and it was far more versatile.
Oh, BTW, Love the Plugin. I have tried a few, and mChat is definitely my fave for chat formatting.

 

My server will not autocreate a mChat folder with the config file. In the game, the name format is changed, but when I try using /mchat reload, it just shows me the command list for mChat. Help please.

 

@Tealk turn mchat-API-only to true
@Homegamer Please give more information than this. PEX support is now included so mChat uses PEX's prefix, suffix, info.
@jeexbit Im glad you figured out your problem on your own sorry I was at work and wasnt able to help when you needed help.
@hostiile What CB version and what mChat version and are you using any server wrappers that may not have been updated to the CB version you are using? (MCMYAdmin?)
@Inscrutable I will work on the option to use mChat's prefix, suffix, info support only in the next DEV build. If you could open an Issue on my GitHub it would also help me remember.....
@EveryPeoples (Cant use Everyone as that is actually a users name) If you ever have an issue or request use my GitHub's Issue section as it is easier for me to follow and remember everything people want ( http://github.com/MiracleM4n )

 

McMyAdmin. But anything I put in that part didnt change it either, so I just made that field blank.

 

@hostiile McMyAdmin handles things oddlike so I can help you with that.

 

Hey,
I just threw in mChat in my pluginsfolder. But Prefixes don't show up.
Her's a exampel of my prefixes:

 

@MiracleM4n

same problem here

 

@dunst0 @ShaDooM What Variable are you setting in mchat-WHATEVER-format ? (You need +Gn or +Groupname) for this to work.

 

Thanks for the tip,

to show the variable declared under "Groupnames" you need to use +G (capital G)
if you want to show the groupname stated in the permissions config.yml use +g (lowercase g)

using +Gn will end up in "[Admin]n"



Adding +G to:

Code:

All of these can be used for 		variables:
+suffix,+s, +prefix,+p, 			+group,+g, +world,+w, +time,+t, +name,+n,   +dname,+dn, 			+message,+msg,+m, +healthbar,+hb +location,+loc and  +<custVar>

would be nice for people with the same problem and who doesn't wanna read all the pages ^^

 

Ehrm, color permissions?
Dont want that everybody use colors :/

 

@ShaDooM I will work on this soon.
@staxx6 There is already a permissions node for this mchat.coloredchat

 

its ever so cool but how do i install? its a bunch of weird stuff so im confused :/ please help!

 

I love this plugin a lot, its a lot easier to use than all the other chat plugin's.
i have a suggestion[unless its already in the plugin and i dont know about it] in the next version could you make it so you can change the color of the text of the message in chat?

 

@MrNanoFusion give yourself permisssions for mchat.coloredchat and use any of the &a-f0-9 characters in chat and they will be replaced with their coloured counterpart

 

@MiracleM4n
Can you get a working Jenkins?

 

id like to have bpermissions support for this plugin. (and per-world-channel support, but this can be in mchannel or whatever too). but i like your plugin, great work now

 

As bpermissions supports SuperPerms it should already support mChat.

 

First off the word censor is broken.
Examples:
asdf: fdsa

If someone types "asdf" it works but.
If someone types "AsDf" in any case it will not replace.
If someone types "a s d f" Still wont replace
If someone types "asdfg" I would assume it would replace asdf with fdsa so it would read fdsag but it don't.

Also build 11 .

Edit:
I just notched you have world name set. via setting in info.yml
the +w does not change the world name like I assume it does. Might want to put in the docs how to use it.

Code:

worldnames:
    Main: '[M]'
    Main_nether: '[M_N]'
    Spawn: '[S]'
    FL: '[FL]'

Is what I have but it does not replace the world name.

Also I would like to add every thing after build 11 needs mChannel. You should fix that. I don't like having channels like that as my server is small anyhow.

what am i doing wrong?​

 

I haven't looked at the mChat source, but this error resides inside the mChat code, this means i has nothing to do with bPermissions. Probably MiracleM4n can solve this [/CODE][/LEFT][/quote]

 

Hi there whenever i enable mChat (Latest version!) i get this happening to my console:
http://puu.sh/6af4 (Screenshot)

The latest version did cut the multiple spam in half but still not gone. I tested on a test install with only permissionsex + mchat to verify. As soon as mChat is enabled i have double, tripple or even more multiple responses to console commands.

No errors to report from console and chat formatting works fine, too. I'm at a loss.

 

ok i am really needing help with this i am not getting a prefix im using the bukkit recommended build (1185)and the latest version of this plugin (for 1185) and it wont work im also using the permissions for this needs i deleted essentials chat what do i need to do? here is my info file

Looks like others are having the same problem. I also tried it for the recommended build. Same problem. I am using a up to date version of bPermissions. There is not other permissions or chat plugin installed.
