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

Is this for 1.6.2?
Awesome Plugin! I can use this instead of chatmanager that comes with pex? Or will I get some issues then?
Thanks, Nightfire
@xGh0sTkiLLEeRx
Ah...my bad :)
@Vivi_Coral
Well, you need to use /prefix get <your name> to receive your prefix :P
If you want to color your name, use only the /color command.
It appears this plugin has an issue with this name for some reason:
xxth3b3astxxify (actually xXTh3B3astXxify)
"Changed xxth3b3astxxify's prefix to Regular in the world world"
"xxth3b3astxxify doesn't have a colored name in the world world"
cat config.yml
All issues, bugs and feature requests will be addressed when I'm back from vacations (1 week)
I installed the plugin but when i set my prefix it just keeps it [world] and i tried changing it to owner it did not work can i please get a quick reply
Thank you
I think this plugin needs an update for 1.6.1 and/or 1.6.2, because I get this error when someone joins my server. http://pastebin.com/44nghb1D
I know there is lots of complaints about Herochat not working with ColorMe, but even after following the guides, reading your comments on tickets, and trying to change pretty much all of my configs around; I am unable to get ColorMe to detect Herochat. It does give the message that soft mode is being used, but it just simply refuses to detect Herochat.
Some further support would be appreciated with the issue, as this is a very useful plugin. Keep up the good work, and thank you for your time.
If a player with a colored name, is on the server and it saves Their color turns back to white, and it still says that they have the color they had, i have to change it to any other color and change it back so the color is shown again. :(
Ok so I fixed it and got everything to work. But now I want to do one more thing. How can I have different groups have different colors for their names? Like what permission is it?
Hi, can you make this plugin compatible with factions 2? The faction tags don't show up anymore. Thanks.
So the everything is pretty much working the way it should cept for prefixes/groups. Im trying to get the colorme prefixes to show up in the chat and the groups to show up in the tabs list. Ive tired multiple setting but no luck. It is possible to do this right? Also im using herochat along side it (softmode enabled).
@xGh0sTkiLLeRx
That still didn't work :/
I gave VIP colorme.autochatcolor.white and colorme.chat but they still have gray chat (I set gray as the global default in the format section of the config)
What do I do?
@noobface37
You need to grant colorme.chat too. Forgot to mention it!
@xGh0sTkiLLeRx
That didn't work. I enabled autoChatColor in the config, and gave my default group colorme.autochatcolor.gray, and the color that they write in was still white! What do I do? Also, even if that were to work, all the other ranks have default set as their inheritance, so if I set default to have gray, VIP for example would also have it.
Sorry for the delay, been busy...
@craftovski
I will see what I can do
@noobface37
You mean the color they write in?
You can use the autoChatColor system.
1. turn autoChatColor to true in the config 2. give the group the permission colorme.autochatcolor.<color> (replace <color> e.g. with red)
@zaino60
Known and will hopefully be fixed.
Are you using it in chat or on signs?
&rainbow doesnt work in my server :P any help?
@TheMuffinMon
No problem!
@craftovski
Sadly that didn't work with permissionsbukkit :/
Anyone have any other ideas? Or is there a permission to give the group to set their color?
