ColourText

Plugin category: General

Suggested name: ColourText

What I want: I'd like a simple command to change the colour of a players text by using &_. I would like to not have to keep typing &_ at the start of each sentence.

Ideas for commands: /CT &1 /CT &2 /CT &3 etc...

Ideas for permissions: Colour.Use

When I'd like it by: ASAP

 

So you want a command that sets a players custom chat color?

 

Yep

 

I dont want to be offensive - but have you thought of a plugin called "essentials" ?

Go to the essentialschat section and read.
http://ess.khhq.net/cfg/

 

MrMontor esschat allows to configure a format per group, but not a command to force a color before one's format per player.

 

But you have to admit it would not be that hard to create like... 15 groups for 15 different colors right?

He would just have to copy every group specific info to the new color groups.

But what i just realized: the thing is, my solution wont work if there are like 150 people on the server...

Okay forget what i said^^

 

The only reason why I don't use Essentials is because the colour thing on it doesn't actually work, not for my server any way.... I have tried re-downloading too. Is it possible to do it with PEX?

 

il need more info about your error.
startup log will provide the versions, also il need you to say what exactly doesnt work. also make sure PEX chatmanager isnt enabled (overrides esschat)

 

I cant find no error |-(

 

If something doesnt went the way it should be, the server always reates error entries.
There should be something like a huge mass of text somewhere.

Im not sure where you have it in your server directory as i am using nitrado, but im sure it is somewhere.

 

Not sure if this is anything to do with it, but when I do the command /pl it comes up with the plugins then in the list there is ChatManager, but it is red. Is this it?

 

This is not what necrodoom wanted, but it tells you its not working properly.

Check if you have other chat plugins installed first, and uninstall them.
Then check if you changed something in the config wrong like a dot somewhere...
If it still doesn't work, somebody with a server on his pc should tell you how to find the server log.

 

I know where the server log is. I will check the plugin files tomorrow though

 

It does work. I use EssentialsChat and PermissionsEx and it works nicely.

 

btw DONT Copy out your entire permissions group for each color..
if for example the majority of your players are in PLAYER group

then make a empty RED group that Inherits PLAYER group
then repeat for BLUE, WHITE group ETC ETC
this will keep your permissions config MUCH tidier

 

If I included my PEX file into this, can someone have a look at what is going wrong?

Code:

    prefix: '&f[&aOwner&f]&6 '

Will the &6 on the end make text appear coloured?

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

 

I believe it needs to be '&f[&aOwner&f] %displayname%&6', or something similar

 

Typed this in; Comes up with "[Owner] %displayname% Tomrocks99: [Text]". Test is normal colour (white).

 

1) if ur using inheritance the group which inherits doesnt need the nodes from the group which it inherited from. Get rid of all the extra nodes , save u a heap of space
2) for owner if u want him to use all commands just give him : - '*'

 

Go to your ChatManager config and make the message-format and global-message-format this:

message-format: '%prefix %displayname&f: %suffix%message'
global-message-format: '%prefix %displayname&f: %suffix%message'

Save the file and restart your server.

Then, when the server is up, type /pex user <name> suffix <color_code> or /pex group <group> suffix <color_code>

 

Paste ur essentials chat config ( it's in ur essentials config but just copy the chat bit here)
