i believe he said he was developing a separate plugin for that.

 

@tom @Capn_Nay_Beard http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/31710/

 

It says I have insufficient permissions to reload ichat. What permission do i need? Also is there a permission that allows you ALL permissions with superperms, like in permissions?

 

give yourself mchat.reload (Only permissions node for mChat)

 

Dear me, i dont beleive that is the name of the plugin. Back on topic however,


There is no single permissions that gives all permissions. The superperms bridge can accomplish something like that, however. In order to give all permissions with one phrase, such as 'permissions.*' the plugin has to define the term itself.

 

Ok so I thought I would ask before I downloaded, I saw on the spout plugin list that this provides chat bubbles over peoples heads but when I get in I dont see that in the description so I thought I would ask does it?

 

Thank-you.

My bad. He knew what I meant.

 

Can someone see this, this is very weird:

Code:

        Moderator: '&f'
        Admins: '&c'
        Owners: '&c' 

I've tested this, and Every Single one WORKS! except *Architect* and *Owners*, every single rank would show like: [Builder]1born2kill: Hi for example, but it wont work for Owners and Architect... I've done it the same way for each but when I set myself as either of those, it just show the rank before...

For Ex:
- Set myself as Builder, and its [Builder]
- Set myself as AdvBuilder, and rank is [AdvBuilder]
- Set myself as Architect, and rank is [AdvBuilder]

this applies to my "Owners" rank also -.-.. What am I doing wrong lol... please help!

Edit: Also OPs, and Moderator shows [AdvBuilder]

 

@worloga Check the spoiler in the OP labeled Plugins Using API (Get mChatEssentials)

@1born2kill Can I see your permissions config file?

Do u want users also?

 

@1born2kill You have to falsify inherited permissions (Check the Config(SuperPerms) with Explanation Spoiler in the OP for help with this)

 

errr i know i suggest something like that in the past..

why not try the \n above our head?

 

Could you kindly show me a link to it, because idk if SuperPerms is "PermissionsBukkit" or bPermissions" thanks...

Edit: I dont know what u mean by that... Since im Sooo confuse right now, I've tried everything, and still trying for almost 5hrs...

 

Hey MiracleM4n,

I'm having some trouble with my chat. I have it set to show the group name before the name, but it shows up like this
' Sekky: my random message'
it should show up like this:
'[Admin+] Sekky: my random message'

config

info

permissions (PermissionsBukkit + SuperPerms)

Nvm It fixed itself.

 

He did mean the following:

Code:

groups:
    Default:
        permissions:
            <snip>
            mchat.prefix.Default: true
            mchat.suffix.Default: true
            mchat.group.Default: true
    Builder:
        inheritance:
        - Default
        permissions:
            <snip>
            mchat.prefix.Default: false
            mchat.suffix.Default: false
            mchat.group.Default: false
            mchat.prefix.Builder: true
            mchat.suffix.Builder: true
            mchat.group.Builder: true
    AdvBuilder:
        inheritance:
        - Builder
        permissions:
            <snip>
            mywarp.warp.sign.warp: true
            mchat.prefix.Builder: false
            mchat.suffix.Builder: false
            mchat.group.Builder: false
            mchat.prefix.AdvBuilder: true
            mchat.suffix.AdvBuilder: true
            mchat.group.AdvBuilder: true
 

I Hope you do understand it now.

 

yes

I do NOW!!! Ty hopefully it works!

Edit: U saved my ass tyvm

 

Hi where you able to see whats wrong as i have been over it and cant see what is stopping it. (alwasy good to have an extra pair of eyes (like the evil semi-colons))

 

@Rhodri Sorry could you PM me (Again if you have already) I have been busy lately and have forgotten....

 

EDIT: It took me awhile to finally find the permission node for /mchat reload, I was looking in the permission section of the docs, and in that example the admin group doesn't have permission to it, but I finally found it up in the beginning of the OP, just mchat.reload
So its my humble suggestion to add mchat.reload to the admin group permissions in the example.

 

This has a flaw:

i have a setup like this (PermissionsBukkit):

Code:

groups:
  somegroup:
    permissions:
    worlds:
      worlda:
        mchat.suffix.a: true
      worldb:
        mchat.suffix.b: true

Now when a players has spawned on worlda he will have the a suffix, but when he changes to worldb he will still have suffix a. Only reconnecting solves this.

To much caching?

Otherwise pretty nice thing :O

 

@nanashiRei There is no caching in mChat so I find this odd. I will look into it when I get home for lunch.

 

Hi Im having a problem my names are showing in normal colours and it wont show the group.
so like [world][][bloodraptor] <--no colours
-----------------^-------------------
group supposed to be here
Heres my config permissions and info files.

groups:

@Mohammad Its ok, just remember it is always a good idea to put any multi-word strings in single quotes ( 'This is a multi-worded string' )

 

Hi
I'm having difficulty in setting the chat format group based with all of their own colors, how do i do that?

 

I'm not exactly sure what you want. Each group/prefix/suffix can already have it's own color just use the Minecraft Server color code.
If you can post your config here in code tags.

 

I meant i'd like to have every group have their own color in chat.

 

Something like this?

Lathanael: hi
Spl1tz: hello

Change the message format to:

Code:

mchat-message-format: '+g+dn: +message'

and the group to:

Code:

mchat:
    group:
        admin: '&0'
        jadmin: '&1'
        member: '&2'
        sadmin: '&3'

That should do the trick, where the &# is the color you want the group to have. If the group have names:

Code:

mchat:
    group:
        admin: '&0admin'
        jadmin: '&1jadmin'
        member: '&2member'
        sadmin: '&3sadmin'

I hope this does help you.

EDIT: Which permissions are you using?

 

Tyvm! thats actually what i was looking for
And i'm using the built-in bukkit with SuperPerms.

 

Sorry if this is been asked before; Is Permissions 2/3 required to use this plugin?

 

@XRayted If you dont have any installed it defaults to superperms
