ColorMe - Add color to player names

Version v3.8.1

Old forum link: Click!

Description

This plugin aims to modify the chat with colors, prefixes and suffixes.
You can set the color/prefix/suffix for individual players or create groups and add players to them.
There are several supported third-party plugins and other supported things like Spout or an economy system.

It's a rebirth of ColorMe and Prefixer from @Valrix

Sure. Use the color chars (&) found with /color list.
Example: [God] in red: &c[God]

@nhoclesnar

I could add an extra permission like ColorMe.free
Would that be enough?

I want VIPs to do the commands for free, and normal players do the commands for an amount of money. I don't know how to make a player execute a command as console tho, is there a plugin that can do that? Thank you.

Not enough to make the price 0?
As a workaround: color with /color Player Color - from the console or another player - you won't be charged.

@BoorMachine

I tried it with a modified version and I had no luck so far.
And my code works. Make sure to compile with minecraft_server.jar and craftbukkit.jar, too!

@shankomaster

I'm not sure if I got it right: no lag anymore?

MobDisguise plugin can be used to obtain skins from the minecraft skin database. I think its possible to have not 'lose' your skin. Ive tried your code but it doesnt seem to work, its putting errors on craftplayer and packet29destroyentity stuff.

Any ideas?

I still don't understand. I need my prefix to say [Admin] next to my name with the color red.

There you go. The reply below is a more detailed version.
Tell me if you can solve the skin problem! (i tried to modify the command a bit for colors -> didn't working.
Since the name is not "Name" anymore (skin found for "Name"), it's something like this "§eName" -> Minecraft makes it yellow - but no skin for "§eName" found...

@Ecstasy69

Use the & chaeacter. Type /color list to see them all.
Example: "God" in red: &cGod

Could you send me the plugin javacode about the collored name above head because id like to experiment with it. I think it can be done. The skin might work with certain mobdisguise files since it allows you to also disguise as players.

Is there a way to add default colors and prefixes for group manager user groups?

I added this to the config file but it didn't work.

global_builder: prefix: 'Builder' suffix: '' color: '&5'

Well. Yes and No. I know how to do it - but you would loose your skin. And I can't promise anything how laggy the server could be etc.
I can implement this, but won't give support for it.

@IdealIdeas

No, at the moment not. You mean something like:
color.permcolor.red
As the permission would cause that you write red, permanently?
Well I could implement this, but how is the effect removeable?
I would need to check for a special "thing" to know switch back to this color...
EDIT: I believe this wouldn't fit so much into ColorMe... If you need it really, PM we can do a private plugin

Is there anyway to permanently set the chat color?

People never seem to see what I wrote because it blends in with everyone elses chatter. I want to be able to make it so whatever messages I send are a specific color, without having to do the color codes everytime.
