Description: (open) Description: (close)

Allows users to color their chat by using a configurable character (By default, the ampersand "&" and the carat "^") followed by a hexadecimal number (0-F). I recieved a request to post this plugin after someone used it on my server.

Rainbow mode is toggled by a configurable command (by default "/colors" and "/colours"). This can be disabled in the settings.

Admin can use the admin command (by default "/ca") to set and reset players' and groups' prefixes/suffixes. If you don't have permissions installed, the admin command will default to Op, and the two groups that will exist are: "Op" and "Default"

Users can change their own prefixes and suffixes using configurable commands (by default "/prefix" and "/suffix").

A small note about version numbers: x.y.z

• X.Y represents the Minecraft version number that was out when the update was released.
• The Z represents the release number.

So the version 1.7.2 would indicate that it is the second release of the plugin, on minecraft 1.7

Starting with version 2.0.0,
The version number is unrelated to the minecraft version. It goes by major.minor.release

Any questions, comments, suggestions, or plugin breaks (I'm not always on the latest version of CB), please post here.

To color a name, just set a prefix with the last 2 characters be the hex code for the color (using the character set in the properties file).

Ahh nicee..I like where this plugin is going. So I'm guessing specific color locking colors for groups will be in 2.03?

 

You'd be correct, sir.

Found a way to fix the reload problem.

Expect a new beta version tonight.

Someone give dat man a like.

 

Stats have been enabled in 2.0.3b and 2.0.3b2
http://mcstats.org/plugin/Colors

 

Can you also make something that you can replace the entire name (including the username) of some people, but not everyone

 

This plugin is designed to work with other plugins such as http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/dispnamechanger/ if you enable chat formatting.

 

Plz add support for permissions bukkit thx

 

Downloading the dev build instead.

 

Great plugin.... except that I have one problem. People on my server could see my colored prefix, but I cant. So I know its not my config's problem. I'm pretty sure its my texture pack.By any chance, do you have any advice?

 

Never mind, I solved the problem.

 

please, please, please!! dont make us download a .zip file!
i have 7-zip but its just easier to be able to put the file directly in the plugins file. thank u
i love this plugin by the way!

 

Do you have bold on this? If you do please tell me.

 

Hey man, I only have WorldEdit and Colours on my server right now, but it still doesn't work. The colours only work in my console, not the game. Could this be a JS error or something, or just my own stupidity?

 

Sorry for the late responses everyone, I had stopped getting alerts :/

What do you type in, and what do you get out? (screenshot please)

&l<text here>

The link seems up for me.

 

tyzoid I use the colour codes and such, but this is what happens
In Game
In Console

 

It appears to be a client-side problem. If you don't have any mods, try force-reloading Minecraft.

When it starts up, click "options" then click "Force Update!" Log into Minecraft as usual, and it will re-download it.

 

Can you add some sort of "only-color" option? I already have a plugin to format my prefixes and suffixes but this plugin seems to want to overwrite it. When I turn chat formatting off, I can no longer use the color codes in my chat at all.

 

Sure. I can do that.

 

Thanks! Let me know when it's updated? x)

 

http://server.tymcs.tk/plugins/colors/3.0.3b3/Colors.jar

Tell me how that works out for you. I haven't had time to test it, so if there is a problem, don't hesitate to let me know

 

Will do! I'm working at the moment but as soon as I get a spare second I'll give it a run and let you know how it goes. Thanks!

 

Hello, I have a problem with permissions. I am using essentials group manager and your permissions wont work.
I added colors.hex and colors.rainbow for my donator rank, but it seems that everyone can use both color codes and rainbow chat. Is it just me or this is a bug?

 

It didn't seem to work for me, I set chat-formatting to false and only-colors to true and was trying "&a green" and "&c red" and the likes but had no luck. I have all of the proper permissions (as an admin and op)

 

It goes on a deny basis.

You deny the permission to the groups you don't to have it.

With GM, place a minus ("-") sign before colors.hex, colors.prefix, colors.suffix, and colors.rainbow to disallow those permissions to the groups you want.

Hmm....

so, you are saying that the colors themselves aren't working?
Can you post a screenshot of this occurring?

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

 

Can you please do an example cause I am confused right now, all GM permissions has "-" like: - colors.hex and so on.

 

so, to negate a permission, you would

Code:

- -colors.hex

 

Thank you so much!

 

No problem

 

By the way, if I want to change my prefix in game I type /prefix ThePrefix , but would it be possible to make it work with both GM and HeroChat? So you can change your prefix even with those plugins enabled?

 

Why would you use herochat?
