ColoredTexts
Hello Minecrafters! This is my second plugin on Bukkit and it allows for colored groups in chat and in tab, colored chat, and colored signs!
To use colored text, simply use "&" and then a color code. The color codes available in Minecraft are
The following codes are also available for effects:
Code Common Name
&k Magic
&l Bold
&m Strikethrough
&n Underlined
&o Italics
&r Reset
Each of these can be enabled or disabled by giving or taking any of the coloredTexts.colors or coloredTexts.effects permissions. A player can see the color and effects available to them by using the /showcolors command. Each of these permissions also allows a player to use those colors and effects on signs as well, if it is enabled in the config.
A player can set their default chat color using the /setcolor command and then a letter or number of the color codes (basically, the color code without the & symbol). A player can also use a word instead of the letter or number. For exmaple "/setcolor red" will set my color to red(c). To set the color to one of the dark colors, simply use "/setcolor darkred" or "/setcolor dark_red". The syntax for the command is /setcolor <color code>.
Groups can be assigned colors, as well, by giving them one of the coloredTexts.groups permissions. It is important to only give each group one of these permissions. This color will show up in both when the player talks in chat as well as in the tab menu, if both sections are enabled. Both chat and tab menus will also show the player's nicknames, if they have one. These group colors will also be used in the joining and leaving messages, if they are enabled.
The plugin is fully customizable, and all or some of its features can be disabled. Each feature of the plugin has a enable or disable area located in the config file.

This plugin was made originally for http:olympus-gaming.net/ (Server IP: minecraft.tk).
Please Note: This plugin will require a permissions plugin to be used effectively.

Can you provide a screenshot? I don't have much experience with GroupManager, but I would like you to be able to use this plugin. Chances are that it has to do with the order that the plugins are called.
@tortise333
Added to the to do list.
@Crysillion
The plugin is made to mainly stand on its own. What permissions plugin are you using? The coloredTexts.group.<color> permissions have worked perfectly every time I have tested the plugin.
@hassanm70
It is. In Vanish No Packet's config, change %p to %d and then match the join and leave messages between the plugins.
If I use this plugin with GroupManager, my prefix isn't colored. Is that a bug?
You should make it so you can have multiple effects at once. Like bold and italicized
Which chat plugin is this compatible with? None of the coloredTexts.group.<color> nodes seem to actually do anything. Everyone is always white text no matter what.
I tried both with HeroChat and mChat. What's compatible?
I wish this was compatable with vanishnopacket.

1.4 is waiting for mod approval.
@Daykunz
I had been kind of waiting for a new recommended build to Bukkit before I update the plugin, but it seems I've been waiting for several months. If they don't update before Friday, I'll put up the latest version using the current beta.
Update?
@Derekd98
To use bold do &l <insert message here>. The server you directed me to did not have this plugin on it.
@eyalabadi98
Are colors enabled in your config?
Also how do i bold it and stuff?? I only know how to color it
Whenever someone get colored chat the names in the TAB list is messed up.. It Only show like half of their rank not their name. Wanna see it? creedcraftmc.sytes.net Server it is doing it on
same, permission are not working for me, i gave them full permission coloredTexts.* and they cant still use the colors! :/
@JackBond1234
The plugin recognizes the & symbol as the § symbol, as it is impractical to type that symbol to use colors. I redid the permissions page on Bukkit so that it is easier to use, but the basic permissions that you will need to use for anything is coloredTexts.* . I hope this helps.
So for one thing, it's not the & symbol used to change the color, it's the § symbol, which is CRAZY hard to reproduce in Minecraft. For another thing, I can't use any of the commands, because I don't have permission. Nothing works in permissions.yml, and I installed PermissionsBukkit, and it still wouldn't work. I can't understand the node syntax as it is. This needs more detailed instructions on the permissions settings.

O.o % should be used, not /
