RoyalChat
A simple chat manager for your Minecraft server
RoyalChat - v0.0.8
Works with bPerms, PermsBukkit, P2/3, GroupManager, PEX, and more!
RoyalChat 0.2.0pre (rewritten again)
Channels are nicer, the config is cleaner, bugs are fixed. It's better. Grab it from here.
RoyalChat was created by myself (jkcclemens) as a simple way to manage the chat format on my server. We were previously using iChat, but the way it wanted to use permissions was too different and unsupported for me. With this in mind, I set out to create a functional chat plugin that followed in the footsteps of iChat, but uses its own code. Thus, RoyalChat was born.
RoyalChat uses suffixes, prefixes, and groups from your permissions to greatly simplify the amount of work you need to do with ranks. Unlike iChat (which has you edit another file with this information), all the data is pulled from any Vault-compatible permissions plugin. See the Permissions Example page for more information.

PermissionsEx, PermissionsBukkit (no real support), bPermissions, and GroupManager are all confirmed to be working. bPermissions support is only available in rChat v0.0.35 or above.
You can also use variables from Towny in RoyalChat (v0.0.4 or above). See Configuration for more information.
RoyalChat depends on Vault.
Commands
RoyalChat has a few commands (mainly since it's a chat formatter) that you can use.
Command | Description | Permission Node |
---|---|---|
/rchat | Reloads the configuration file and displays the version number | rchat.rchat |
/me [status] | Allows you to emote (e.g. "jkcclemens is hungry.") | rchat.me |
/say [message] | Speaks as the console (configurable) | rchat.say |
/clear | Clears the chat box | rchat.clear |
No Command | Allows the user to use color in their messages | rchat.color |
/ch [channel] (password) | Changes the channel you're in. | rchat.channel |
Permissions
RoyalChat implements Vault for Permissions. Any plugin supported by it is also supported by RoyalChat.
The permissions are listed above with the commands.
Features
I designed RoyalChat to encompass the features that I had wanted. There are just a few, but I'm open to suggestions.
- Caps filter! Make messages with a customizable percentage in caps lowercase! e.g. "I HATE ALL OF YOU!" becomes "i hate all of you!" - There is a bypass permission node as well
- @[user] - Highlights the [user] in aqua to make it clear who you're talking to (not private chat) e.g. "Hi jkcclemens" would highlight "jkcclemens" in aqua with an "@" in front of it
- Spout support for user highlighting. Achievement notifications, and a text counter (bottom-left of screen) are configurable in the config.
- /me can be formatted
- &[hexcode] is fully supported
- You can edit the chat format in the config (see Configuration)
- Auto-capitalize messages (config option)
- URL highlighting
- Towny integration
- % support
Planned
- Unknown

@jkcclemens
I love this plugin, can you possibly add Anti-Caps and Anti-Swear with a flat text list (No formatting on the swear list?)... I love the First-Letter capitalize feature, but Anti-Swear and Caps would be icing on the cake :D
Chat radius?
Wins My server listed :) Cheers Mate
@jkcclemens
Thanks <3.
And is your IRC server still up? The hostname above doesn't work.
Getting this with /me: http://pastie.org/3572047

Tested on newest Dev-Build and Recommend. Both gave that Error, I know that is not nessecary but it´s annoying. Using 1.2.3 Bukkit.
Sorry but i actually Can't use it untill you have chat channels, though i absolutely love the unique features you offer. For those who dislike channels (A Minority) have them perhaps disabled by default, but for large serves such as mine its not possible to have everyone speaking in one chat. You only have a second to see a message.
I love how royal chat works, the only missing link is channels. As currently have Local chat, RolePlay and OutOfCharacter channels. Im watching this space though :)
I have Royal chat in my bookmarks and check it once a week to see how its improving.
Keep up the good work.
no no, I don't want chat channels either it gets way to confusing, more just a way for only people with a permission node (admins) to access a private chat.
With configurable channels it would become too complex for my use. X.X
perhaps an admin-only option such as would be provided with http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/admin-chat/ so that admins can converse privately.
Just a chat radius for roleplay servers would be awesome... waiting you :)
How about channels?
Ok.
The plugin is very good.
Thanks for the plugin and support
Oh, I thought it was a harm error.
How to change [WARNING] to [INFO]?
What does the message in the log
and how to deal with it?
Hey, I get this error if i use variable, {townytown}. Error: http://pastebin.com/8tzZxTeu The error is not shown on startup, only when a player try to chat
id appreciate faction support too :)
@Tauryuu
It does exist
Could you add Factions support, if it exists?
Damn nice chat manager, damn nice. It's got the simplicity of PEX's ChatManager or bPermissions' bChatManager, but a few more very nifty little features.
Keep it this way. <3
