CrossTalk
CrossTalk v1.1.0
Description
Connect the chat of multiple Bukkit servers together to form a CrossTalk network. Players can then talk with players from other servers as if they were on the same server.
Commands
All commands are accessible through a tree based menu. This limits the number of conflicts that you'll experience as well helping users navigate their available commands. Every command in the CrossTalk plugin starts with /crosstalk or /ctalk.
Check out the Commands section of the wiki for information on the commands available in CrossTalk.
Permissions
Each command in CrossTalk plugin is controlled by a permission meaning you can control exactly what each user can do.
Check out the Permissions section of the wiki for more help on all the permissions used by CrossTalk.
Configuration
Through the CrossTalk plugins config.yml you can setup and fine tune the way CrossTalk will work on your server. When you first run CrossTalk a config.yml file will be created that you can modify, reloading the server or the plugin will load the new configuration.
For detailed Configuration help check out the Configuration section of the wiki.

This plugin is AMAZING and works with 1.7.9! Thank you!

the top of the page says "abandoned"
Just going to put it out there, because my last comment was deleted, and after a week you still havent released a fix. Theres a bug in this which is a huge security flaw. I'm not going to say how to do it but Ive informed the author and after a week, no new version has been released, even though the author 'has already fixed it, just hasnt released a version yet'.
For the sake of the servers that use your plugin, spend 2 minutes to upload your new version...
Awesome, got it working with herochat (It has some different formatting options, and I want it to appear the same/similar on multiple servers... But that doesn't work if a player has a prefix, custom tag, or I use [] instead of <> for nametags!)
I wrote it very hackily so I won't send any kind of github pull request. But thankyou!
One thing though, can you possibly send the help menu when a player does just /crosstalk? Otherwise, I do /crosstalk, nothing pops up, it took me a while to figure out why I wasn't even getting a command not registered error...
This is exactly what I've been looking for. Just gotta tweak some code for herochat compatibility and such. But thankyou good sir!
Sorry for the wait. A video for getting started has now been added to the setup tutorial page.
Perfect! Worked great.
Now If I can only figure out why some servers have the pex suffix and some do not... All have the same settings.

The reason TownyChat is detecting all chat is it's a 'terrible' design. Every plugin that monitors chat has to listen to TownyChat instead of listening to the server. This is because TownyChat takes over and anything said into a town is, as far as the server is concerned, said to everyone on the server.
When using CrossTalk with Towny you have to add which channels are listened to as by default it won't listen to ANY chat. If you want TownyChat and CrossTalk to work together just add hooked: true to the channels.yml section. E.g.
This will only work with version v1.1.0 of CrossTalk but if you have any issues please let me know! I can't do much about it if another plugin is causing your problems but ask them to add hooks into Towny, it's very easy once you know how. It's just annoying that you have to add hooks at all because of the way they have designed their plugin.
@Rmarmorstein
I would need to add a hook for HeroChat but this would then be possible. I'll get to work on this shortly! :)
is it possible to link only a single herochat channel? and have one global channel (all servers) and the rest are single server?
I would love to hear about towny. There are a lot if people on my network complaining about how you can see admin chat.
Thx! Also you need a donate button!!!
Updated to v1.1.0!
Added support for TownyChat at the request of a user. If you're using Towny chat and need help making this plugin work, let me know and I'll tell you what you need to do!
A video is coming soon as well so fear not, it'll explain how to set this plugin up.
@jeanjaz There is a link to it directly in the box above.. Click the word Commands perhaps? http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/crosstalk/pages/commands/
So where's the Wiki where you say the commands are?
@nhadobas
I was working on an update first. Then we'll work on a video.
Is there ever going to be a video? If you seriously need a recorder I can record it using Skype screen share or teamviewer.
This worked great on a local server. Can you add private chat???
@nhadobas Possibly. The person helping me record it is busy at the moment but they'll be able to assist me soon.
Youtube tutorial coming soon?
@NathanTheDragon
I am thinking of adding a new command (Which I don't like doing) which will let you talk across servers privately to server staff only. I am thinking of using /ctm (For /crosstalkmodchat) and anything said (If you are joined to the CrossTalk and have the permission) will send a message to all people with the same permission.
E.g. /ctm How's it going server admins!
