ChatSuite
Notice! I am currently very busy with both work and school. Please refrain from feature requests and only post bug reports, as I am unable to do extra work at this time.
ChatSuite provides an advanced Chat Management interface for servers, with channel and multi-world support. IRC support is planned for the future. A comprehensive command structure is provided, which you can access by typing /chatsuite ? or /cs help.

Commands
The following is a very brief overview of the commands available via this plugin, many of which can be changed.
note: CommandBook's CraftScripts registers the command /cs, which will supercede this plugin's /cs (which is only an alias).
note 2: ChatSuite v2.0 (currently in progress) will have a completely redesigned command system. /cs will be used minimally, in favor of more relevant command names (/join, /part, etc) for the plugin.
- /chat ? (chatsuite.help)

Posted Oct 17, 2012@toffose: none of what you said is applicable to this plugin. Set your username as the owner of the channel and you will be allowed to join it. public: false sets the channel as private. There is no permission to join a private channel.
Regarding your question about Multiverse, I don't understand it. Are you saying that the channel associated with the world is not auto-joined when you log out and back in on that world (instead, it puts you in the default channel)? If so, you will need to set the channel in question (the multiverse world) to permanent, so that it is created in your channels.yml.
@Talaysen: I have not tested this plugin with Towny. If Towny adheres to the proper methods for injecting changes to the chat format, it should work with this plugin. If, however, it does not, I will have to work on some way of changing ChatSuite to include the Towny tag (probably a new variable).
@Cryptite: That should be fixed in the latest versions of the plugin (which can be found on my CI).
@ray0911: That should be fixed in the latest versions of the plugin (which can be found on my CI).

Posted Oct 17, 2012BUG!?
Seems that we can't setup permissions correctly. As I understand, we should be able to put
in our PermissionsBukkit permissions file, correct?
Well, if I do that and then do
in the channels.yml file for ChatSuite, I just get denied entry to the channel. I should be able to join that channel when I have the permissions node, correct? Doesn't work right now.
Next BUG!?
Using Multiverse on our server, using
in channels.yml for ChatSuite, but still when you relog you're not entering CHANNELNAME, but the default channel instead, if you logged out in the world associated with CHANNELNAME. (say a world is named CHANNELNAME and configured in the channels.yml file like above)

Posted Sep 6, 2012Setting permanent channels via the in-game commands doesn't seem to work; they all appear to get wiped on a server restart.

Posted Aug 22, 2012How would I go about adding these chat channels; A global one, where anyone in any world can hear me. A world one, where only people in that world can hear me. A local one, where only people a set amount of blocks away from me can hear me. A staff chat with a password. How would I go about with those if possible?

Posted Aug 10, 2012chatsuite.groups.ownerorgroup.ownerwill both work.selfservice0: I have no intention of ever adding any kind of PEX support to this plugin. This plugin already provides prefixes. There are plenty of plugins that do it with PEX if you want to use them.

Posted Jul 29, 2012Hendric: Multiverse is injecting the world into the chat format. Set prefixchat: false in Multiverse's config.yml
For the /nick thing; chatsuite.nick.other is the node that allows you to SET other peoples' nicknames. chatsuite.nick allows you to set your own nickname. So if you want users to be able to use /nick (but not set other nicknames), chatsuite.nick is all they need.
Make sure that you personally (as op) have chatsuite.nick.other. The command syntax is pretty simple:
/nick [user] [new nick]Additionally, you need to change the chat format variable from %n (name) to %dn (display name).

Posted Jul 29, 2012Okay about the nick others thing:
I'm using Permissionsbukkit and the default group has node: chatsuite.nick.other: true Also I have installed commandbook (and many other plugins, but no essentials). My bukkit is Minecraft Bukkit ( v1.2.5-R5.0 #2262 )
And my second question is about removing the [world] tag from players name. There shouldn't be one, and I don't see a way to remove it. The default's messaging looks like this: format: message: '%p %n&F: %m'

Posted Jul 20, 2012Veinlockx: I'll have to talk to the developers of Multiverse about this "child/parent" relationship, because that did not exist when I was still contributing to the project.
About the channels, there's no way to restrict based on world right now, but I will add that in my next builds and it should be available in my next (major) release.

Posted Jul 20, 2012I want to create a set up like this:
I have 4 worlds. Sonata, Eternia, Aeria, and Nexus.
Aeria is a child of Eternia in child/parent relation through multiverse. Nexus is my spawn world, and Sonata is a freebuild world.
I want 3 channels. A channel in the Nexus, Eternia/Aeria, and Sonata so that players from only those worlds can see each other chat. Like Eternia chat cannot be seen in Sonata.
How would I configure that? And also, is there a way to configure it to change and restrict the other channels upon joining a specific world?

Posted Jul 16, 2012Hendric: Without seeing your permissions setup or a stack trace/error report indicating where the problem is, I cannot say. The nick feature works perfectly well on my development and production servers.
Which version of Bukkit, which permissions plugin, and are you certain that the node (chatsuite.nick.other) is set to true? If so, what error do you get when you try to set their nickname? Is another plugin (such as essentials) hijacking the /nick command? Try using /nickname or /chat nick.
