Suggested name: ColorfulLinks What I want: I'd like a plugin that when any user pastes a link into chat, it would become a different color. Like if I were to say, "Hey guys, check out www.bukkit.org", www.bukkit.org would be whatever color it is made in the config.yml file, like blue, for example, but the rest of the message would still be white. This would help distinguish it from the rest of chat and more noticeable by players Ideas for commands: No commands needed for this plugin. Ideas for permissions: color.bypass - allow to bypass the color addition Picture example:
I could do this for you if you want to start every link with a certain letter: for example if you would start every link with "*" and at the end of the link "#" *www.bukkit.org# Would this be OK?
I have an suggestion, take it or leave it: Split the message at every spacebar, check every part if it starts with "http://" or "www." then color that part
If you want to make this plugin then do it....I´m currently learning java and this is a bit to complicated for me so far...Thanks for the suggestion.
there you go https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/24414601/ColoredLinks.jar tell me if its ok how it is or if you need some changes. Commands: /coloredlinks set <color name> /coloredlinks reset or short 'cl' Permissions: ColoredLinks.set default: op Default Color is Aqua Color name can be one of the following (not case sensitive): Aqua Black Blue DarkAqua/Dark_Aqua DarkBlue/Dark_Blue DarkGray/Dark_Gray DarkGreen/Dark_Green Purple DarkPurple/Dark_Purple LightPurple/Light_Purple DarkRed/Dark_Red Gray Green Gold Red Yellow White
Wow this is exactly what i was looking for. Only thing that I noticed is that if you don't add the www. or the http:// it won't recognize it as a link. Also, if you just do something like http://hello it will recognize it as a link, and you can't open it, which is more or less minecraft's fault. But when I say bukkit.org or forums.bukkit.org it doesn't recognize it.
Minecraft can recognize links without the "www." or "http://" part, I wonder if theres anyway the developer can use that
yeah its not perfect and i guess i can change the link detection somehow, currently its just checking for "www." or "http://"
Checking such links is impossible, unless you put "http://" for every word that contains an dot, ping that link, then if you get an response then color it and put http:// in front of it so it becomes clickable Will cause loads of lag because of the pinging though
I also noticed another problem. I use MineIRC and currently it's putting "§r" in front of every word in IRC chat. Here's an example, and I'm not sure why this would be happening Code: [15:37] <+EasECraft> IateBarrys: §rFucking §rgiant [15:37] <+EasECraft> Laketri: §rshit [15:37] <+EasECraft> IateBarrys: §rDumby [15:37] <+EasECraft> Laketri: §ri §rkilled §rhim [15:38] <+EasECraft> Laketri: §rwhere §rdid §rhe §rgo [15:38] <+EasECraft> IateBarrys: §rHe §rwas §rkilling §rthe §rvillager [15:38] <+EasECraft> Laketri: §rok [15:39] <+EasECraft> Laketri: §rdont §rstart §rspawning §ret [15:39] <+EasECraft> Laketri: §r2 §rvillagers [15:40] <+EasECraft> Laketri: §r1 §rmore §rthen §rftb
