I am currently only using Herochat as the default chat plugins but i am having trouble getting user groups default chat colors to show. The two groups i would like to give the ability to chat in red are Moderators, and Admins. I have done everything i can possibly think of but it just isn't working, any suggestions? I can pastbin some configs if needed.
The best plugin to manage chat is BChatManager. You can find it at BukkitDev. I use it and I'm kinda noob but I didn't have any trouble with it because it's simple and it always works. I hope this help you.
I prefer chat channels with a local channel feature as it greatly reduces spammed global chat, and this must have something to do with my essentials config.yml but i have no clue what i switched around in there. I'll probably just end up regenerating it.
