dsTitle
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 prefix and suffix (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.
- Prefixes and suffixes can be set seperatly, or only one of them Since 1.3.0
- Nametag support. Show the titles also in the tag above a players head! Since 1.2.0
- Ingame adding and editing of titles Since 1.4.0
- Supports YAML, H2, mySQL, Postgre and SQLite storage methods. Since 1.5.0
- It is possible to set a default prefix and/or suffix for ne players Since 1.5.0
- 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. See the installation section for more info
- 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

Example of a nametag
The config of these images can be found under 'Config' down here (it is both the 'vip' prefix and the 'vip' suffix).
Installation
Simply put the dsTitle.jar in the plugins folder of your Bukkit server
If you use a chat plugin next to dsTitles, there is a change you may need to change some config files. For some chat plugins, the changes are listed down here. If your plugin is not listed here, check first if it works without editing anything. If titles aren't displayed, try to add [titleprefix] and [titlesuffix] to the chatformat of the chat plugin. If this still doesnt work, try to change general.chat_format_player_tag in plugins/dsTitle/config.yml to the playername tag used in the chat plugin. If after all of this it still doesn't work, pm me. I don't check the comments daily, but if you send a pm i get an email.
No other chat plugin
No changes needed
HeroChat

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:
prefixes: member: chattag: '&3Member' permission: 'title.member' description: 'Title for members' vip: chattag: '&4&lVIP' headtag: '&4&lVIP&r ' permission: 'title.vip' description: 'Only for VIPs :P' suffixes: vip: chattag: '&6KING' headtag: '&8[&6K&8]' permission: 'title.vip' description: 'Only for VIPs :P'
This config creates two prefixes and one suffixes. 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
- In the config.yml of plugins of version 1.1.2 or lower is a character (ยง) which some Linux systems don't accept. You can remove it by editing the jar or by updating to the latest version.
It seems titles dont work with some chat plugins without overriding the chat format.Should be fixed in 1.3.0

I fixed the invisibility bug and a few others.
@Carbonyx
Try turning off nametags in the config. It seems like it's messing with teams scoreboards. You'll have to use another plugin to display the nametags above the player's heads, since another plugin you have already uses the scoreboard.
Also, try my updated version on Github :
https://github.com/DrkMatr1984/dsTitles
Check out the release in "releases".
dsTitles now supports PlaceHolderAPI/DeluxeChat placeholders!
It says it set my title, but when I type in chat my title is not there. I have a feeling this has to do with my client since colors are on and my scoreboard team has a chat color that doesn't show. Running MCPro 1.10 bukkit
@GodsDead
We can work on this. There's a miniature library to fix that when players are invisible and a way to do it with manipulating scoreboards. When I get a working PC again I will put this on my github todo list. I believe I added some changes to a custom version I had also that fixed the /titles list command being bugged.
@denniss17
I am using spigot 1.8.3 i just assumed bukkit plugins were meant to be compatible with it, from what i read. But the only thing that doesnt work so far is that command.
@GodsDead
Thanks for the reply,
The main idea of this plugin is that players are able to choose their own title. But as you can see, a default prefix/suffix is already on the todo list. About the invisibility: that is something I have to look at.
@zarakh01
Hey,
Can you explain a little bit more? Which Bukkit are you using for example? Which version? Are there any errors in the console?
The only reasons I can see why it does not work is 1. A non bukkit server 2. Possibly a configuration error?
denniss17
For some reason the /title list command doesnt seem to work for me. it just says /title in chat after i use it, i also added the permission to my rank even though im in op, just to make sure, and still cannot.
Theres 1 vital feature missing from this plugin, that's default prefixes per group, so ignoring players being able to set their own prefixes or whatnot, when players rank up in game, their prefix needs to change above their head to that group/rank.
Secondly I cant see invisibility working, the players head tag still shows.
Hope to add attributes to the title, there will be more fun,i look forward to it
As far as I can tell it works fine in 1.8. I even downloaded the source and recompiled it with no changes against Spigot/CraftBukkit 1.8, and it runs great on my 1.8 server.
Any idea when this will be updated to 1.8?
How i can create mysql base?
@denniss17
gj, 2 months later still no update. (very soon?...)
I get this error when players with titles join the server:
Any idea how I could fix it? Using spigot to run the server
Can I have a prefix when I got a permission? So that I can auto reward a permission to player, then they can have a new title (like uSkyBlock), thank you :)
How do you do the permmisions? I have it set to title.member and I have given that to members, but it doesn't work.
@AikoYui
Found the problem. If you try to grant or ungrant a title which has no permission attached to it, an exception occurs. Will fix it in the next update which will come soon.
@ThisUsernameIsMine
Same here :/
But the /title grant works when i tried to remove GroupManager :/ Tried with other permission plugin but still not work.
So the only way to use /title grant is remove the permission plugin?...
Edit: Try this http:dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/permissions-g/
@denniss17:
When a player a headtag title and he logout from the server and log in again the title is gone, and he has to use the command again, how can i make the title persist even if they logout?... (logout: disconnect from server and connect again)
