F.A.Q.

Q) Why is the timestamp wrong when people chat?
A) Please make sure you have no defined the "time-offset' line in your config file if you want to use your servers time. If you are using an offset, be aware that the offset is from GMT, and not from your servers current time.

Q) Why is my custom message format not working? I just get the default output. Or output with no variables filled in.
A) If you're using Permissions 2.1, make sure your Permissions config file is named "{worldname}.yml" where {worldname} is the name of your world. If you're using Permissions 2.0, make sure your Permissions config is named config.yml

Q) How do I set the brackets color to the same as the group?
A) Normally you have the brackets in the message-format variable, but you can just as easily move them into prefix/suffix and that way they can be per-group colored!

Q) Why is my entire string colored? I just put a color code beside +name!
A) A color code will persists until another color code is encountered, or the end of the line is reached. To change the line back to white use &f after the variable/string you want colored.

Q) Why are my OPs names red?
A) Essentials has this functionality built in. Change "ops-name-color" to 'none' in your Essentials config file.

Q) Why does {PluginX} not work with iChat?
A) There's a good chance it does, but you need to use +displayname instead of +name.

Q) Why does Towny not work with iChat?
A) iChat no longer uses %1$s for the player name, it uses player.getName() and player.getDisplayName(), until such a time that Towny is updated to use the proper method of setting a players name (Set their displayName) it will not work with iChat.

Q) iChat is not reading my prefix/suffix from my Permissions handler, why not?
A) iChat uses its own Variable Handler to deal with prefixes/suffixes/variables, this allows it far more flexibility than could be offered from any Permission handler, and allows you to completely change Permission handlers without needing to redo your entire variable setup.
