[INACTIVE][CHAT] AreaChat v1 - Localized Chat, with Shout Command

Looking for the current build number? It has moved to the thread title.

Players can only hear other players within a 200-block-ish radius. The actual shape, for performance, is not actually a sphere, but a cuboid with its diagonals parallel to the world's axes. Generally, if a player is in sight, (s)he will be heard. Players out-of-sight should not be heard.

Shouting/yelling can be accomplished with the /shout command. Shouts are surrounded by red angled brackets, instead of the normal white brackets. I can make this customizable upon request. Aliases for the /shout command are /sh, /yell, and /y--be sure to take that into account if you utilize GroupUsers for permissions, as you will need to treat them as separate commands!

Holding bedrock will enable two features: you will always shout, and you will hear all local chatter, no matter how far away you are.

Just in case someone invents a cool plugin to enable hopping between the normal world and the Nether, the plugin takes the world type into account. Just in case.

If anyone is interested in the source code, let me know, and I'll upload it.

Still awaiting confirmation on iChat status...
Also, now that it's available, is MultiVerse compatible? Will it be soon?

 

Craftbukkit #302

Not working. Or I can't make it working Had it before and after update it is useless

Bump for iChat support

 

This might be a dumb question, but anyway, where can I edit the settings? The plugin doesn't create a file?

 

not work with iChat

 

Bump for update ... I tried to update this but missing something some where

 

I made a unofficial update for my own server, I'll release it for download here:
here
The only problem with my update is the fact that I couldn't be bothered to get the config file to work. Everything is at default options:
shoutprefix = [Shout]
adminsalwaysshot = false
playerscanshout = true
shoutradius = 30

If anybody has problems with this config, I'll be more than happy to compile another .jar for you, because I really cannot be arsed to fix the configuration file as I personally don't use it all.

 

Could you give me a copy with.
adminalwaysshout=false
playerscanshout=true
shoutradius=200


Thank s , =)

 

Here you go:

Thank you so much..
This saved me a lot of time.

 

Please update this for the latest bukkit!

 

After my essentials plugins for local chat stopped working, update of this would be appreciated

 

Might be a bit late with this, but any chance I could get one with this config?;

shoutprefix = [Shout]
adminsalwaysshot = false
playerscanshout = false
shoutradius = 50

 

Anyone is willing to update this to 617 or higher?

 

i think the link was error? please send the jar file to [email protected] please i want it

 

If you are searching for an alternative ChatManager may be an option for you. It includes ranged chat ability. Of course you would have to use PermissionsEx too as it not a standalone plugin merely and addon like ModifyWorld.
