ColorMe
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

If you want to use ECONOMY, please use Vault!

@Silent_Hunter
No. Every color does count as a character, too. And the limit is 16. So I have to shorten the name...
@cutsogreen1
Feel free to use the pre version 3.5. Lag is fixed.

Any update on when the next version will be out? Colorme seems to be lagging my server pretty badly, and we use your great plugin to distinguish admins and donators from regular players.
When I use this plugin, this happens to usernames:
http://i609.photobucket.com/albums/tt174/cheery314/2012-05-09_190521.png
It only happens with some of them. As you can see, greatwroth's full name is displayed, but Silent_Hunter and LiquidPlacidity's are not.
Is this a bug?
@xGh0sTkiLLeRx
You're welcome. I'm glad to hear that.
@nhoclesnar
For chat already planned, I can add support for the signs, too!
Thx for the suggestion
Can you add color support for signs please? And does the plugin support coloring in chat?
@Pat1196
Without any information I can't fix anything.
Since you already produced an "error", you could share it.
Thanks
This is having a compatability problem with my Nifty Warp plugin, please fix.
@iSxF
Yep. Lag will be fixed in the next version.
Hello,
Somehow this plugins cause Chat delay I'm not sure why, Do you have any suggestions for me? I Did update the plugin for the latest update, not sure what to do more.
@devoureroflint
Basically if I understood you right, it would be possible.
If a user chats and Prefixer is enabled, the lookup for a prefix works like this:
Prefix in the specific world set? Yes -> Use it. Done.
No?
Default prefix set for the user? Yes -> Use it. Done.
No?
Is the global prefix set? Yes -> use it. Done.
No? -> No prefix...
If it is what you wanted, than you should be able to set it right,
if not I could make an option to display the global prefix all the time, regardless if the user has an own prefix or not.
@levisn1
Just disable eveything other.
Disable Prefixer, Suffixer, and for ColorMe the displayName and playerTitle.
A user can still color the name, but only the Tab list is affected.
Keep in mind that every color code is a letter, too and the max is 16 letters. (Minecraft limit.)
Green, red etc. works at the most time like it should, but with rainbow and random most of the names are shorten...
@Sharpy310
I couldn't reproduce such an error.
ColorMe doesn't check for PEX prefixes/suffixes.
And with ChatManager installed, it seems like ChatManager is overriding ColorMe.
Hey, is there a way I can make the prefix default to a [PrefixHere] no matter what my users type?
I'm willing to edit the source a bit if you can tell me where to look.
how to have only tab colours, but not chat colours? i already use essentials.chat..and i dont want change it.. :( but i would have the tab's colors..how to?
Have you resolved the PEX compatibility?
the one where it turned the entire name to a specific colour, overriding the PEX prefix settings.
Many thanks.
@defkult
Try to set the costs to 115 only. Without the dot zero.
Also make sure that the config is saved right.
Please shut down the server first and then set the costs to 115 and save the file.
Then restart the server.
I just installed it along with Vault. I went in and changed the cost from 5 to 115.0 and regardless of how many times I /reload or restart the server, the players always get charged 5.0 instead of what I set it to. Any idea?
@MonserGaming
Typed out like green or rainbow.
Guess you already solved it ;) ?
in the config on global default, should the color be a color code, or typed out like 'green'?
Never mind
@deleted_6837836
So what is the problem? This message is there, because you are running without Spout. So you haven't got all features. I can change the level of the message to info instead of warning...
The server, while loading, gets "[Warning] No spout" or something like that, and just hangs there. I have no idea why..
