Admin Chat Channel
Admin chat channels is a really easy plugin, It adds 4 diffrent "channels". The 4 diffrent channels support Essentials nick, PermissionEX prefix/suffix, GroupManager prefix/Suffix, Much more that add nicks/prefixes. All the channels can be changed in the config, So if you dont like the prefix/format? Then you can change it! (1.1.8 and higher) :)
Why did I make this plugin? I did make this plugin for I have not seen many plugins that is simple and support nicks/prefixes. Also I have not seen so many plugins that only adds staff channels, but they add like a ton more.
The plugin is meant to be used by server admins to have a private chat to speak in. Atm there is 4 channels, Admin channel, Moderator channel, Helper channel, Staff channel.
Info
There might be bugs in the plugin, if you find any so please report them with a ticket. I will look thru the tickets and fix the bugs when I have time. I will also try to maintain the plugin so much I can!
Version 1.1.6 and lower is really buggy for 1.8! If you want to use this for version 1.8 so use plugin version 1.1.7 or higher!

Ideas?
Do you have a idea that you would like to see in the plugin? You can post ideas here.
A bit curious about this plugin I have been searching for a staff plugin with different chats and where I do not need to toggle it. NeoChat for example you have to toggle it before you can chat with anyone which is pretty annoying if you are not op. What are the customization limits on this plugin? I like that you can change the prefixes but is the options to edit the commands? Say if I wanted /ac to just /a or other variables. Is it a possibility to add different staff channels? Thanks :)
Sorry for no updates, I have been sick. I will also start some new plugins :) Also if you did not know I have another plugin called Shields http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/shieldsplugin/ , It is made for pvp servers. I will keep this updated when new versions comes :) Btw! Thank you all for 800 downloads <3 I really like to see many of you like my work.
I just want to say thank you for 350 downloads <3 I did not know so many would like this plugin.
Fully tested the plugin.
Amazing work, clean and stable, easy to configure!
Awesome plugin, haven't seen any others that wrks perfectly like that.
Recommending everyone to download and use it for a great and private chatting with staff members.
Good job! I'm waiting for your next projects! :)
@xph11 It is uploaded, only thingy I wait for is that Bukkit dev staff approve it. So it is hard to say a eta, I dont think they will take too long.
Edit: It is out :)
@Cp1987
Okay, I'll wait for the update, and I'll test it and tell you how it is!
Btw, any estimated time frame I can have until the release? :)
@xph11
All the channels, Admin/Mod/Helper/Staff.
Edit: When it is out so remember to delete the old config. If you find any problems so will I fix them so fast I can. Normaly if I find any bugs it will be fixed in a short time.
@Cp1987
Thanks! Can't wait for the update!
Also, Will this format be to all channels of the plugin or only for Admin channel at the moment?
Because I mostly need it for the Mod channel :D
Thanks again!
@xph11
You can change prefix and chat color in config. You mean like: PrefixOfChannel: "[testprefix] %name% &8: %message%"?
And ye! Thanks! I wanted to support the prefixes / nicks :) This also works with groupmanager.
Edit: Will get a update out today that adds this:
AdminFormat: "&8[&4&lAdmin-Chat&8] &r%DISNAME%&8: &c%MSG%"
Wo. Just wow! I was searching for an Admin and Mod chats that support pex prefixes ans suffixes and also essentials displaynames for ages!
And you did it! I love you!
BUT: There is one major thing that is missing and will do your plugin THE BEST! It is the option to change the format of each channel in the config to how i want it to look like.
Do that, and you will be THE BEST!
@chaosworlds
I will add it to my todo list :)
Can you add staff chat for all staff to talk in? Also helper(helper rank) chat would be nice too!
