Are you adding the permissions in manually? I don't suggest you do what with PEX because it could corrupt the file. Add the permissions via the pex command so you know that they are not going to corrupt the file.

 

adding all the perms in manually that are in the file will be a pain as i have lots of perms to do

plus im trying to keep my server online and running untill i switch to PEX i have 250 ppl online right now and cant shut the server down to manually do these perms so i am wanting to create the file drop it in and restart the server

 

winsdor2252
Well you don't need to shut the server down, in fact that won't work. It will probably be an inconvenience to them. However, if you do have 250 people on and you want to add them manually, look for issues that you may have created while creating them manually:

• Extra Spaces
• Not enough spaces
• Tabs instead of spaces

If that doesn't work please paste the error in console so I can see what exactly is the problem and we can pinpoint it.

Post the full error Here

 

did read the post above

 

Yeah I noticed =P You ninja'd me.

 

heck i dont even have op perms lol im having to do any permissions from console when i tried it last night

 

winsdor2252
Yeah, probably the easiest way to go about this is adding permissions in-game through the PEX command.

 

ok i found the issue with the orginal file it is loaded and working now. I had a permissions section mis spaced

but now the prefixes are not showing up in chat i am using essentials chat

they were showing and working with group manager now that i switched to PEX they are not showing but they are in the config

 

https://forums.bukkit.org/threads/essentials-chat-pex-prefixes.97013/ Look at the last post by pilotdan. He is using pexchat and even has his config posted so you could copy it exactly.

 

yea i dont want pex chat

maybe i should make this clearer

i switched from usng group manager permissions to

Permissions EX today and the groups wont show

 

I was suggesting you change essentials chat out for pexchat and see if that made your prefixes show.

And by groups you mean prefixes? I'm a little tired so maybe I'm reading this wrong but if you're trying to get prefixes to show and essentialschat isn't working for you then why not to pexchat to see if that would make them show?

 

ok prefixes are now showing but not in color how do i resolve this issue
