dsTitle

Description

Players can set their own title. Titles can be associated with permissions, so you can change available titles per rank or player.

Features

Create as many titles as you want. These titles can contain colors, styles etc.
Players can set their own title (or clear it).
Associate titles with permissions. Players can only set these titles if they if the right permissions. This can be used for rank dependant titles or as rewards.
Titles can contain both a prefix and a suffix, or only one of them
Nametag support. Show the titles also in the tag above a players head! Since 1.2.0
Can be used next to another chat plugin. Title can be inserted into existing chatformat (on the position of "{titleprefix}/{titlesuffix}"), this plugin can overwrite the chatformat or titles can simply be inserted before and after the playername
Like all my plugins, every single message (confirm messages, error messages etc) is fully configurable. Even the menu! So no longer these annoying pluginname tags or ugly colors.
Works with vault, so every big permission plugin is supported
Possibility to automaticly check for updates (but no auto update)

Example

The config of these images can be found under 'Config' down here (it is the 'vip' title).

Commands

/title set <name> - Set your own title to the title with this name
/title list - Show all (or only available) titles
/title clear - Clear your current title
/title grant <name> <title> - Grant a title to somebody (needs Vault installed and ds_title.admin permission)
/title ungrant <name> <title> - Revoke a title from somebody (needs Vault installed and ds_title.admin permission)
/title reload - Reload the configuration (needs ds_title.admin permission)

Permissions

This plugin has only two permissions:

ds_title.player - Permission to use /title set, /title list and /title clear
ds_title.admin - Permission to use all commands

The permissions needed per title (if any) can be configured by yourself

Config

There are two config files. config.yml contains the basic config. titleConfig.yml contains the titles a player can set. To see more information about these files, click on the links.

Here is an example of titleConfig.yml:

titles:
  member: 
    prefix: '&3Member'
    permission: 'title.member'
    description: 'Title for members'
  vip:
    prefix: '&4&lVIP'
    suffix: '&6KING'
    headprefix: '&4&lVIP&r '
    headsuffix: ' &8[&6K&8]'
    permission: 'title.vip'
    description: 'Only for VIPs :P'

This config creates two titles (Member and VIP). Players can only set these titles if they have the corresponding permissions.

The result of the vip title can be found under 'Example'.

Known issues

Not compatible with ChatManager (PermissionsEX). This is due to ChatManager using a deprecated method of Bukkit. There is a special file which is compatible with ChatManager!
In the config.yml of plugins of version 1.1.2 or lower is a character (§) which some Linux systems don't accept. You can remove it by editing the jar or by updating to the latest version.

Are you sure you dont have any other plugin which also does something with nametags/teams? Also its only "/title set vip" , you dont have to put your name in the command.

Hey,

Thanks for the reply! I looked into it and it turned out that ChatManagers last change was about 9 months ago. ChatManager still uses a method of bukkit that has been deprecated (has been declared old, use not encouraged). It is possible to fix this, but this would mean dsTitle would also use this old method and it would mean that the same code is twice in the plugin.

I recommend you to take another chat plugin, which is up to date. If you really want to keep using ChatManager, I can build this edited plugin and send it to you.

1. Copy the following text:
titles: member: prefix: '&3Member' permission: 'title.member' description: 'Title for members' vip: prefix: '&4&mVIP' suffix: '&6KING' permission: 'title.vip' description: 'Only for VIPs :P'
2. Paste it in plugins/dsTitle/titleConfig.yml

3. Save the file

4. Reload by reloading the server or by typing /title reload

Also be carefull to only use spaces, no tabs and keep the indent the same. Yaml doesn't support tabs.

That should work. If that doesn't work contact me again.

That would just mean that i copy the plugin, change some names and it would work :P

On the other hand, now i look back to your suggestion it seems more reasonable. This could be used to use for example the prefix as a rank tag, and the suffix as a special reward title. I'll add it as a maybe to my to do list. Thanks for you suggestion!
