PermissionsEx suffix/prefix

Hello, I have a suffix and prefix added with &e (yellow text) meaning the message the player sends should be yellow.

prefix: '&e[Citizen]'
suffix: '&e:'

The message sends as white but with the prefix and suffix working. I am using EssentialsChat (I have tried it with ChatManager so it must be a pex thing). I would like the message sent to be yellow (&e).



Thanks in advance!

 

Get iChat, Run the server, go into the iChat folder, go into config, and where it says "message-format: '+iname:+message' " and change it to: message-format: '+iname:&e +message'
That should do the trick

 

But I don't want all the ranks to have &e (yellow) messages but only the citizen rank. And the problem is also with other ranks and I want to set it so Admin is &c (red).

 

Alright... I'll need your essentials config .... pastebin or pastie it

 

could set a group-format for citizen in essentials config and set color there.

 

Configuration:

chat:

# If EssentialsChat is installed, this will define how far a player's voice travels, in blocks. Set to 0 to make all chat global.
# Note that users with the "essentials.chat.spy" permission will hear everything, regardless of this setting.
# Users with essentials.chat.shout can override this by prefixing text with an exclamation mark (!)
# Users with essentials.chat.question can override this by prefixing text with a question mark (?)
# You can add command costs for shout/question by adding chat-shout and chat-question to the command costs section."
radius: 0

# Chat formatting can be done in two ways, you can either define a standard format for all chat
# Or you can give a group specific chat format, to give some extra variation.
# If set to the default chat format which "should" be compatible with ichat.
# For more information of chat formatting, check out the wiki: http://wiki.ess3.net/wiki/Chat_Formatting

format: '{DISPLAYNAME} {MESSAGE}'
#format: '&7[{GROUP}]&r {DISPLAYNAME}&7:&r {MESSAGE}'

group-formats:
# Default: '{WORLDNAME} {DISPLAYNAME}&7:&r {MESSAGE}'
# Admins: '{WORLDNAME} &c[{GROUP}]&r {DISPLAYNAME}&7:&c {MESSAGE}'

# If you are using group formats make sure to remove the '#' to allow the setting to be read.

 

format: '{DISPLAYNAME} {MESSAGE}'
to
format: '{DISPLAYNAME} &e{MESSAGE}'

try this

 

Yes but as I said before I have more than the one rank and I want the other ranks to have a different message colour. Example: Citizen has yellow message, VIP has red message, Administrator has purple message etc... Permissions should do this by adding &e or &c after the rank.

 

Then use the group format

Code:

group-formats:
# Default: '{WORLDNAME} {DISPLAYNAME}&7:&r {MESSAGE}'
# Admins: '{WORLDNAME} &c[{GROUP}]&r {DISPLAYNAME}&7:&c {MESSAGE}'
