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 no permission system is found, all commands are for OPs only!
If you want to use ECONOMY, please use Vault!

@xGh0sTkiLLeRx
Ok, i'll keep an eye on you(r plugin)! :)
Would it be possible to add an option to remove the brackets (<playername> to playername)?
Having coloured names make the brackets useless and I don't want to rely on a second plugin for just this.
By the way thanks a lot for updating this.
@phaed420
Sorry, for breaking the API.
But even if I left the method in the same class, you won't be able to use it anymore, because of multi-world.
Maybe I'll make an extra page for API usage of ColorMe in the near future.
@GamesJoel152
/color help will always work.
If you need more help, please create a ticket.
It helps us both - keeping the comments clean & you can fill out a form and I get the necessary information!
Thx in advance!
When i do any command, there will be this " /color help - to see help" Even when i do /color help command it appears... This is annoying so help please!
Compatibility with other plugins is broken. You no longer have the getColor(Player) method.
@shankomaster
@shankomaster
Nope. You have to include me as a "target".
Use /prefix me <prefix>. 2 characters aren't so much.
&random is wanted to use the magic color code, too.
I can add a second random without the magic color in the next version.
And no, I wont remove the multi-world support.
Your players should learn to read. The help says that [] are OPTIONAL!
It's too much work to disable the whole multi-world stuff.
Also &random has spinny letters (I hate the magic one btw)
please clean fix that
edit: also an option to remove the whole [world] fiasco thing! Sorry my players are so easily confused by change its annoying! lol
great job on updating this, 1 request
allow the use of /color <color>
or /prefix <prefix>
to prefix/color/suffix yourself
@Hangar
It's planned to make a video as a real "demo"
I thought the demo video would show the actual result of using the plugin :p
@ThisUsernameIsMine
I tried to expand it once again, even if I increase it +1 -> too long. Color codes are counting, too...
Version 3.5 should support custom color patterns and maybe group colors.
@TRGWII
Oh, got it. Will look what I can do for the next update! :)
Maybe colored join and leave messages, too...
This plugin looks promising but i'm waiting until it supports colored groups.
Also, did you manage to increase the length of colored names @ TAB? (in response to http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/colorme/#c38 )
Thanks ;)
@xGh0sTkiLLeRx
I was talking about when using the native command to display your name in 3rd person, for instance:
"/me is talking" Will display:
"* TRGWII is talking" But the username displayed there won't be colored...
@TRGWII
There is no such command.
/color get me [world] - Displays your color.
But thx for the feedback :)
When i'm using /me the colored name doesn't appear, i hope this bug will be fixed in the future, just letting you know...
Awesome plugin btw, the easiest and the best!
@coolo1
@Shico75
Yeah, will be supported in the next version (release should be today)
Called magic.
@imaxorz
Can you 1.) pls create a ticket, if you think it's a bug
2.) explain it more?
Hmmm, when I use /color list there is a random character thing, but I have no idea what I should type to get that. Also, is it possible to have multiple colors in one name?
Hi! great plugin :D im not sure of what name it is but when you do /color list there will be one that is always scrambling and doing like !#J!GJ like that, i wasnt sure what color that is but its a super cool feature :D
Hello,
Until I updated to the latest version, this plugin would only color names of players that I specified, and for everyone else they had the color specified in their bpermissions prefix. Now with the new version it completely ignores all the prefixes and everyone's names are white.
Do they now ALL have to be set manually, or am I missing something? I don't see anything in the config about it.
@xGh0sTkiLLeRx
I'm aware of that and thanks, can't wait :)
EDIT: Though this is strange:
The name cannot be longer than 16 characters, but {@link ChatColor} is supported. Colors do not count towards the length limitation.
