Lang channel (International server)

Hey,

I've been looking for a plugin which adds some channels to the game, but each one I found sucks so I'm making a request here.
The goal is that you can speak in normal chat so everyone can see it.
But if you just join a channel set by the admin you can still see the global chat, but you can talk in the channel too. You see both channels messages (From the people speaking your language) and from the people who are talking to you in global chat.

Here's an example :
I come from Blabla country so I join the blabla channel. I can speak to my Blabla friends using blabla language simply doing something like "²Blabla bal sbla !" or "*Blabla bal sbla !" or any suffix you want. (You could also use a "/" but it's less cool). And oh I'm running in the forest and I see someone but I want to talk to him ! So I simply say "Hello !" using the global channel language because if you noticed, there's no suffix, so I'm talking in global channel.

It has to be compatible with Essentials Chat (for my self, you can make it for each other if you want) and voila.


Note: If this already exists please show me I couldn't find anything cool and easy to use.

 

Code:

public class ChatChannel extends JavaPlugin{
    HashMap<Player, String> channelList = new HashMap<Player, String>();
    @Override
    public YamlConfiguration getConfig(){
        File f = new File(this.getDataFolder() + "/config.yml");
        return YamlConfiguration.loadConfiguration(f);
    }
    public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String label, String[] args){
        String[] channels = getConfig().getStringList("channels").toArray();
        for(int a = 0; a <= channels.length - 1; a++){
              if(cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase(channels[a]){
                  channelList.put((Player)sender, channels[a]);
                  sender.sendMessage(ChatColor.AQUA + "[Chat] " + ChatColor.RED + "Joined channel: " + channels[a]);
                return true;
              }
        }
        return false;
    }
    @EventHandler
    public void onLogin(PlayerJoinEvent evt){
        channelList.put(evt.getPlayer(), "main");
    }
    @EventHandler
    public void onChat(AsyncPlayerChatEvent event){
          if(channelList.get(event.getPlayer()) == null || channelList.get(event.getPlayer()) == "main"){
              return;
          } else {
                String message = event.getFormat();
                event.setCancelled(true);
                Player[] online = Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers();
                for(int a = 0; a <= online.length - 1; a++){
                    if(channelList.get(online[a] == channelList.get(event.getPlayer()){
                        online[a].sendMessage("*" + message);
                    }
                }
          }
    }
}

Plugin.yml would be:

Code:

name: ChatChannel
main: <main package>.ChatChannel
version: 1.0
commands:
    <command>:
        permission: channel.<command>
permissions:
    channel.<command>:
        default: true

replace <main package> with the jar package of course
Config.yml would be:

Code:

#Example channel for French people
# channels:
# - french
channels:
- main

All you need is someone to write this up, import all the needed stuff, and export it to a .jar Hope this helps and let me know if there are any problems

If you want to add an about page for each channel let me know and I can add some stuff to the above code

 

The fact is I can make it but I have no time to...
Thanks anyway, I will make this later

 

I can type this up Friday if nobody has by then

 

Would be really cool, thank you

 

I beleive this request has been filled.

 

Oh really ? Where can I find that plugin then ?

 

It was posted by CopyableCougar4 underneath the OP.

 

Just in case nobody posted this and you still need it - LINK

One problem: config still is only editable in jar file

Note: /c-new should create channels, if it doesn't, let me know and I can add them straight to the file

Commands:

• /c <channel name> joins a channel
• /c-new <channel name> creates a channel should work

 

Oh great, thank you very much !
But if I join a channel everyone can see what I say, am I missing a command or something ?

 

Try ChAdmin?

 

Yeah thank you, it is a great plugin, but not easy to use for players to switch channels :s
The best would be like this :
"Hey I'm talking to everyone or people who are close to me !"
"!Hey guys I'm talking in the lang channel "

 

Okay I updated the file to do what Erall wanted LINK

How to use:
Messages would start with:
! for spanish
? for french
@ for dutch
otherwise they would just be in the main channel.

However, if you guys want to do /c <channel name> you still should, in order to receive messages (I may change that soon)

 

CopyableCougar4 can you post source code somewhere?

 

Yup

        if(cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("c-new")){
            this.getConfig().getStringList("channels").add(args[0].toString());
            sender.sendMessage(ChatColor.AQUA + "[Chat] " + ChatColor.RED + "Created channel: " + args[0].toString());

    public void useChannel(Player p, String format, String channel){
        if(channel == "main"){
            Bukkit.broadcastMessage(format);
        } else {
              Player[] online = Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers();
              for(int a = 0; a <= online.length - 1; a++){
                  if(channelList.get(online[a]) == channel){
                      online[a].sendMessage("*" + format);
                  }
              }
        }
    }
 
    @EventHandler
    public void onChat(AsyncPlayerChatEvent event){
        event.setCancelled(true);
        String channel = event.getMessage().substring(0, 1);
        String userChannel = "";
        switch(channel){
        case "!": userChannel = "spanish";
        case "?": userChannel = "french";
        case "@": userChannel = "dutch";
        case "$": userChannel = "spanish";
        default: userChannel = "main";     
        }
        useChannel(event.getPlayer(), event.getFormat(), userChannel);
    }
}

Ignore the getConfig() method, as I used to use that but it doesn't work for me anymore

 

Thank you very much, it saves me good time

 

CopyableCougar4 What is this part used for?

Code:java

 public void useChannel(Player p, String format, String channel){
if(channel == "main"){
Bukkit.broadcastMessage(format);
} else {
Player[] online = Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers();
for(int a = 0; a <= online.length - 1; a++){
if(channelList.get(online[a]) == channel){
online[a].sendMessage("*" + format);
}

and I can't see where you've defined what "format" is...

Thanks for answering

 

This part of the code sends all users with the same channel toggled whatever the user was going to send. The 'String format' is just event.getFormat() sent from onChat.
