Tab Deco
TabDeco v1.1.0
I have decided to discontinue this plugin due to some reasons. But many developers requested the source, and as promised, you can find the source here: https:github.com/TheCyberBrick/TabDeco/ This means that everyone is allowed to update the plugin and hopefully you'll find someone else that continues this plugin. If you decide to continue and update the plugin, please send me a PM so I can add a link to it on this post, thanks!
The latest download of the plugin (R: TabDeco v1.1.0 for CB 1.5.2-R0.1 Jun 07, 2013) still works for Minecraft 1.6.x!
This plugin allows you to add various information/decoration to the player list. There are multiple options to decorate your menu. The menu can be edited in the config file of the plugin. TabDeco also offers a really easy to use API! It allows you to add new settings that then can be used in the configuration and new sorting systems. The only thing you have to do is to write a class that contains the sorting method/a method that returns the text for the slot.
Features
- UTF-8 Symbol support
- Ingame updating of text (Could be used for time & date)
- World specific player list
- Sorted player list (by time on server, KDR, world name and much more)
- Detailed player information by adding more than 1 slot per player
How to install the plugin
- Download the plugin
- Drag & Drop the plugin in your plugins folder
- Start your server
- Edit the created config.yml file of the plugin
- Restart your server (Important: Do not just reload)
How to configure the plugin
- Important: Size of the list doesn't matter at all. You can also set it up with only one column!
- Adding a new line starting with "-" adds a new object to the player list.
- Do not use space in front of the "-". Use tab instead
- Use the prefix "&" for color codes
- Use "#" at the start of a line to add a comment to the config
- Add "[@]" after the "-" to mark a line as "to be updated"
- Add "[@]" after "[nextslot]" to mark the following text as "to be updated". "[nextslot]" Can only be used for a custom player layout
- For everything else you need to know: Have a look at the example configurations on this page: http:dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/tab-deco/pages/example-configurations/
The configuration explains all the functions.
- Don't use any words longer than 16, otherwise they will be shortened

Commands
- /td debug - Enables debug mode. Shows useful information in the server log.
Pictures
A little example of what you can do with it. Would be really useful for any PvP Server:
(Remember, it doesn't matter how many slots you have. This plugin works for every number of slots, you just won't have as much space and the configuration might look different)
To-Do-List
- Ping function
- Graphical xp bar
- Different configurations for worlds
Known Bugs
- Possibly conflicts with plugins using the packet "Packet201PlayerInfo"
- Conflicts with plugins using TabAPI
- Currently not compatible with every plugin that uses player.setPlayerListName(name); Will be fixed in the next version

Plugins that use the API
- TabDecoExpansions - A plugin that adds various new settings to TabDeco for other plugins
If you make a plugin that uses my API, feel free to inform me. I'll add it to this list.
API
The API is really easy to use. The only thing you have to do, is to write a function that returns the string for the slot in the tab menu. TabDeco does the rest for you! If you want to learn how to make a plugin using this API, have a look at this. It shows two example plugins which explain everything you need to know to make a plugin using this API. There is a simple one and an advanced one that has a setting with an argument in the configuration (take [rint(x,y)] as an example). The advanced one teaches you how to add a setting which displays the x coordinate of a player that you can add as an argument. In the configuration it looks like this for example: [playerPosX(playername)]. The simple one just shows how you add a setting that shows the player name and the health. The API also allows to write totally custom player list sorters. Here you can find the two example plugins: https://github.com/TheCyberBrick/TabDeco-API-Example
I get the "Unsupported major.minor version 51.0" error, with Java 1.6.0_24 How can I fix this?
@dotapurex1
Could you post that next time on the expansions thread? ;)
I didn't have that bug when I was testing, maybe something changed. I'll see what I can do and I'll add those two things
Can you do some changes to the tab deco extension?
Fix the bug for [factionadmin] it includes the prefix of the player tag like [owner] [member] etc.
I'd like to also see you add
- Power for the individual player - Faction moderator
@dotapurex1
No, it uses the exact same configuration, just with additional settings
Is Tab Deco Expansions Suppose to create a config folder?
@mormaii2
I don't want to give any dates, because I don't always have the same amount of time to work on this. But it shouldn't take much longer, most things are fixed/added
@dotapurex1
Nope, it's under known bugs: Conflicts with plugins using TabAPI
:P
Does this plugin require tabapi?
any eta, when you are releasing the new version?
@mormaii2
You can display words up to 16 characters, but the color codes also count as two characters. That means, if you have 1. a plugin that colors the name and then also TabDeco that colors the name a second time you can only display words up to 12 characters. Otherwise it should be possible to show names up to 16 characters
@MoPlants
Is it possible to show names in the list with more than 10 characters?
@mormaii2
I'll add a adjustable buffer that contains the old data of the player list, this will help the plugin to remove all the text from the player list since lag could be the cause of this bug
@sniddunc
Sure, there will also be the option to let the kills save in a file so they are not lost after a server restart
Will you add a tag for Mobkills? I am making a DayZ server and I'd like to be able to show players their own global mob kills, instead of just their player kills.
Will you add this?
@MoPlants
It was that! Oh glad you'll be able to fix it :3 Thank you for this great plugin! Also waiting anxiously for the color name on tab support :D
@mormaii2
Probably the same bug as in this ticked. I think that should be fixed in the next version

You have to decide between this plugin or TabAPI. Anyways, why did you install TabAPI if you don't have any plugin that uses TabAPI? ;)
@MoPlants
Can't work with spigot 1.5.1R0.2, with only 3 plugins installed : Protocallib,TabAPI, and Tab Deco.Hope there's some way to fix this :(
Other players see the tab right but mine looks like this: http://i.imgur.com/eKixmK5.jpg
Why would I have the problem and the rest don't?
@jessefjxm
Must be your bukkit build or maybe another plugin that affects the player list, or at least there should be errors coming up
It's really strange that there aren't any contents in the Tab list when I installed it,even for the default config - -
@Stiggybird
That should work, what is wrong with it?
