Tab Deco
TabDeco v1.1.0
I have decided to discontinue this plugin due to some reasons. But many developers requested the source, and as promised, you can find the source here: https:github.com/TheCyberBrick/TabDeco/ This means that everyone is allowed to update the plugin and hopefully you'll find someone else that continues this plugin. If you decide to continue and update the plugin, please send me a PM so I can add a link to it on this post, thanks!
The latest download of the plugin (R: TabDeco v1.1.0 for CB 1.5.2-R0.1 Jun 07, 2013) still works for Minecraft 1.6.x!
This plugin allows you to add various information/decoration to the player list. There are multiple options to decorate your menu. The menu can be edited in the config file of the plugin. TabDeco also offers a really easy to use API! It allows you to add new settings that then can be used in the configuration and new sorting systems. The only thing you have to do is to write a class that contains the sorting method/a method that returns the text for the slot.
Features
- UTF-8 Symbol support
- Ingame updating of text (Could be used for time & date)
- World specific player list
- Sorted player list (by time on server, KDR, world name and much more)
- Detailed player information by adding more than 1 slot per player
How to install the plugin
- Download the plugin
- Drag & Drop the plugin in your plugins folder
- Start your server
- Edit the created config.yml file of the plugin
- Restart your server (Important: Do not just reload)
How to configure the plugin
- Important: Size of the list doesn't matter at all. You can also set it up with only one column!
- Adding a new line starting with "-" adds a new object to the player list.
- Do not use space in front of the "-". Use tab instead
- Use the prefix "&" for color codes
- Use "#" at the start of a line to add a comment to the config
- Add "[@]" after the "-" to mark a line as "to be updated"
- Add "[@]" after "[nextslot]" to mark the following text as "to be updated". "[nextslot]" Can only be used for a custom player layout
- For everything else you need to know: Have a look at the example configurations on this page: http:dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/tab-deco/pages/example-configurations/
The configuration explains all the functions.
- Don't use any words longer than 16, otherwise they will be shortened

Commands
- /td debug - Enables debug mode. Shows useful information in the server log.
Pictures
A little example of what you can do with it. Would be really useful for any PvP Server:
(Remember, it doesn't matter how many slots you have. This plugin works for every number of slots, you just won't have as much space and the configuration might look different)
To-Do-List
- Ping function
- Graphical xp bar
- Different configurations for worlds
Known Bugs
- Possibly conflicts with plugins using the packet "Packet201PlayerInfo"
- Conflicts with plugins using TabAPI
- Currently not compatible with every plugin that uses player.setPlayerListName(name); Will be fixed in the next version

Plugins that use the API
- TabDecoExpansions - A plugin that adds various new settings to TabDeco for other plugins
If you make a plugin that uses my API, feel free to inform me. I'll add it to this list.
API
The API is really easy to use. The only thing you have to do, is to write a function that returns the string for the slot in the tab menu. TabDeco does the rest for you! If you want to learn how to make a plugin using this API, have a look at this. It shows two example plugins which explain everything you need to know to make a plugin using this API. There is a simple one and an advanced one that has a setting with an argument in the configuration (take [rint(x,y)] as an example). The advanced one teaches you how to add a setting which displays the x coordinate of a player that you can add as an argument. In the configuration it looks like this for example: [playerPosX(playername)]. The simple one just shows how you add a setting that shows the player name and the health. The API also allows to write totally custom player list sorters. Here you can find the two example plugins: https://github.com/TheCyberBrick/TabDeco-API-Example
Please read the updated main post for some information concerning the continuation of the plugin.
I would love for this plugin to work, however it kicks all players upon login.

@martin0leung
I think you can't use more than 16 letters in one row. (look at your first row). For me the plugin is working fine with 1.6.2. i am also using nametagedit with this together!

"It's not the configuration, it's something in the code. I tried everything I could to track down that bug but I just couldn't find it which is why I didn't release the new version yet. I decided to rewrite some parts which hopefully fixes it "

@moneyremcoo
/i think its because the config loads wrong :/
I get constantly a error: oversize stringlength 20 > 16 . in the config i have 1 line: - Test, nothing more. i think it give this error by playernames longer as 16 characters. can this be fixed? i like this plugin!
