morizuki: I will have a fix for the perms version tonight.
IncendiaDrakon: I will also fix the /mchat pm thing tonight. the /me command uses the formatting from the mchat-name-format so If you dont want healthbars in that dont include them there (the name-format is used for all Contrib features as well).

Ok. I have reformatted the OP and fixed the non-dev mChat. If you would like to use the PM features you will have to look under the spoiler "sample plugins using API with explanations" in the OP. This spoiler will include any other plugins I decide to make that use mChat's API.

*DEV builds now in OP* (Please check these out and reply here to them)

hmm.. this isn't a but.. and the PM is working now.. XD

I'm gonna report is.. the AFK command is cool and nice, but they abuse it.. like AFKing then killing a mobs.. it's more like a god mode although u can't move XD.. I'm suggesting if u can, that, they can't hit the mobs while afking?

 

I've just updated to the latest dev build (noPerm) and seem to get this error on plugins reload:

Code:

what are the fixes? is this fixed what I was reporting?

 

Yes everything reported was fixed.

 

they can still attack the mobs

 

Gah! Factions and mChat are still conflicting and I don't know how to fix it! Basically the faction tags (from the Factions plugin) and players names get all screwed up and the colors still don't appear. My files look like this:

On plugin reload?

 

aye

EDIT: my bad its late, I posted it in wrong thread haha.

 

Lanuk: in the Factions conf.json change "chatTagInsertIndex": 1, to "chatTagInsertIndex": 0,
morizuki: Fixed in the latest DEV build.

*DEV Builds Updated* (AFK fix.....Thats all...Spent all night trying to fix Factions thing than found out it could be fixed with a Faction config option...../me Cries...Its 5AM Now...I work in under 2 hours )

Ill work at a better way of dealing with the NPE if it persists (Try the latest DEV build tell me if the slight code alteration fixed it)

*DEV Builds Updated* (Added surfire AFK backup.)

I just want to let you know that mChat owns!

 

Is there any chance you can implement the option to define a custom name for each world? As in "Earth" or "Overworld" or "&b" instead of "world"? I'd like something like this to color people's names according to the world they're in

Edit: I guess I could just rename the world, but what about the nether? That's why I posted this.

 

I wish if this had channels or a chat range

 

Do i need BukkitContrib ClientMod for the HealthBar to display above the head?

 

the healthbar option spams msgs on the corner "like achievments lava picture and a healthbar" using bukkit 1000 and mchat 1.7.8 no errors in log

 

does the bukkitcontrib part require clientside?

 

Yes, if you dosen't have the client mod installed, nothing will be change !

Yes, you need that .

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

Just got off work....Long day today.
morizuki: The latest DEV build is currently 1.7.2_1 Try the DEV link in the OP again.
Leraios: This would be difficult to implement. What would you like the nether world to be like? Say its Test_nether would you like me to reformat it to look like Test Nether?
embty: When I have pushed the DEV builds to official releases I will work on making more plugins that tie into mChat's API.
Lathanael: Yes anything to do with Title formatting and Achievement Window test is handled by the clientside BukkitContrib mod.
embty: You can turn off the health notification in the config. (mchat-notifyHealth-enabled: 'false')
Poe: Yes all clientside features require the BukkitContrib client mod.
Xemnias: Thanks for helping with all the questions while I was at work.

EVERYONE: Request features please

 

Yeah I turned off but I kind of like it and would love to see it work in the future + the chat channels or chat radius
Great plugin thanks alot

 

embty: If you find a chat plugin that does what you want (Channels, Chat radius) I can take a look at the source and make a version that is mChatted

 

Well essentials chat has radius and !to global chat and herochat has channels

 

Probably it would work fine, but it'd be better if you could make it customizable. If so, I'd set &b for world and &4 for world_nether, and place it right before the player's name, so it is colored depending on their location.
If it's too much, no problem.
It might be even more of a hassle to allow it to set colors... xD

 

Hmm, I did what you said, and now there are no brackets at all. Just the faction name and the player name after a space. This isn't really all too bad, but I would prefer brackets if possible. Anyways, that doesn't really matter. My colors still don't seem to appear. This is probably my fault (And sorry for putting you through all that work for factions) but if you could help I would greatly appreciate it :3

None of the ranks colors work for me. Thanks again for all your hard work!

 

First thing I see is that all your users are in the default rank which in turn uses mchat.prefix.Member which resolves to &f (No Formatting)

Due to outstanding complexity and personal frustration with the amount of work I need to put into 2 different versions of the same plugin I have decided to drop the Permisssions 2/3 versions of this plugin.

DAMN, BC just breaks too many ClientSide mods thus i can't use it like i would like to. And i do not like to make two jars, one for offline and one for online. Well I'll live with what i get so far, maybe it gets better in the future. We will see.
Thx so far for this great plugin!
