Version: v3.8.1

<font color="#ff0000">BukkitDev: Click!</font>

Description

This plugin aims to modify the chat with colors, prefixes and suffixes.
You can set the color/prefix/suffix for individual players or create groups and add players to them.
There are several supported third-party plugins and other supported things like Spout or an economy system.

It's a rebirth of ColorMe and Prefixer from @Valrix
I'm happy to hear about your opinion, just leave a comment with a feature request, bug, improvement or just a personal opinion.

As a reminder I want to say that I worked very long on this and really appreciate a 'thank you' in form of a donation! (See details on the bottom)

Config

See the config (fully commented) here: Click

Commands & Permissions

Only the bukkit permissions are supported! I highly recommend that you use a plugin for permissions like bPermissions!
If no permission system is found, all commands are for OPs only!
If you want to use ECONOMY, please use Vault!

I KNOW I have many questions :I

If its possible can u add ChatColors e.g.

&4LOL and its dark-red lol?

or send a link to a plugin with it + bold,italic,strikethrought and underline colors?

 

It's supported for Prefixes and Suffixes.
However, not in the chat message itself.

You name color can be dark red, too.

For the next version I will add custom colors, like.

myColor: &e&c&2

Which would color the first char yellow, the second one red, the last on dark green. Then it starts at yellow again.

 

I know the codes =) But do you know any plugins where I can use Bold,italic,underline and strikethrought in chat? Like

&lThis message is bold
???

 

Do you want to color the chat message?
I can do it for you. 2 min

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/26476995/ColoredMessages.jar
If you write in your chat &2 it will color it green. (etc.)
Enjoy,

 

This is a great plugin. Can we also get the option to change our names as well in a future update?

 

God damn it! Thnx bro! =D

Its the best week evaaaar

 

bro i BEG you to let us make the prefix a color too!!!!! Please i was looking for this for a LONG time so ca u please make a command where you can make the prefix a color too??? THNX SOO MUCH

 

Already possible, it seems I have to make it clearer in the OP.

Use &e for example.
This would make it yellow.
For a list of the & values type /color list

 

I just got CraftBukkit 1.2.5 and now when it sez i have changed the color it only show the clor of my name when i do /tell but other thatn that it shows it in white

 

You don't need to write 2 messages. Only here is enough.
Have you installed any other chat plugin?
There could be a conflict.
Otherwise it should work.

 

wait so i can make the prefix [God] in red?

wait i got it now but the [ part is red aswell how do u make it white and only God red

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

 

First. Please don't do double posts, use the edit function instead.

Use the white color again.

[&cGod&f]
Would be what you wanted

 

Is the update ready (The one with more colors in names)

 

well, I got bChatManager when i got immenentfates craftbukkit installer but when I try deleting it it just comes back!

 

So whenever someone on my server talks, it says the name of the world the person is in [creative]. Can that be removed?

 

So wait I'm confused. Can you color your prefix and suffix as well or just your name?

 

Yes.
I will state it clearer in the first post.

Just use the color chars (&).
Type /color list to see them.
And like I said,
&2[God] would make it to: [God]

 

When I give someone's name the colour 'magic' their name becomes a bunch of randomly changing characters, and stays white.

 

Hey i got same problem as booyman he got it fixed but i need help im using Chat Manager and this is my the config
formats:
display-name-format: '%player'
message-format: '%prefix %player: &f%message'
local-message-format: '[LOCAL] %prefix %player: &f%message'
personal-message-format: '[FROM] %prefix %player ---> &f%message'
alert-format: '&c[ALERT] &f%message'
me-format: '* %player %message'
toggles:
control-me: true
ranged-mode: false
other:
chat-range: 100.0

 

kdalips
Normally ColorMe shouldn't do such a thing.
Make sure you set the global suffix/prefix right.

Mateusz2737
What exactly was the problem?
It could be, because of the player variable.
Use

Code:

display-name-format: '%displayname'

instead.

Should work then!

 

I try. Doesnt works

 

Mateusz2737

Okay, I'll test it again.
What is the output? And what should it be?
(Somehow I was never able to reproduce the bug!)

 

I am having trouble accesing the command in-game. Is the command /<command> me <rainbow> [world] ?
I dont understand it at all! Please, I need your help! Please reply

 

The help menu, the first page and the slideshow does explain it very well

/color list - colors
/color me COLOR [world]
The [world] argument is optional, leave it out or write
/color me COLOR nether

Would color you only in the world called nether.

Same for prefix/suffix

Greetings

 

Can you add an option to color players a random color every login? Not the option to color every letter a random color, but just a new solid color every login. If it's possible?

 

something is very odd with this plugin, every 10 minutes, it splurts out a line into the console saying
21:35:04 [INFO] [Metrics] Server returned HTTP response code: 502 for URL: http://metrics.griefcraft.com/report/ColorMe

it gets quite annoying!
Any reason for it?

 

Rywern

Yes, this is behause the stats server is down. I can't do anything about it, you have to wait until the problem is fixed...

 

Done for the next version.
If you want to test it before, feel free to use the dev version of 3.5!
(Much improvements and changes )
