Any news/update on how supporting HeroChat is coming along? :)

@games647

Yeah, so that answers my question then. :P I wasn't sure how it was going to work, if it just checked for available channels and showed them or if it only showed ones that players could be joined into.
I was curious if players were going to see the Staff Channel tab for example, but never see anything appear in that tab. xD

And as far as Beton, if for whatever reason there was an incompatibility (we'd see it for sure), I'll be sure to bring it up. Though I think it'll be fine completely. :)

@games647

With the tabs, do you think it's possible that the Tabs would only show if you had the permissions for that channel to begin with?

Or would it require another permission through TabChannels to prevent those from showing up? :P

EDIT: Also, do you think this would in anyway conflict with another plugin that interacts with click-able chat systems? We also use a plugin called BetonQuest, which allows players to click on a chat option while in a conversation with an NPC. These of course display in order as if they had been typed to the player and don't stick to the bottom of chat. (Which I assume is what TabChannels always does. :P)

@games647

:D I nearly jumped out of my chair for joy upon reading your message.

For some time now we've talked about how nice it would be to be able to "tab" our chat channels and you're going to make that possible for us! THANK YOU <3

@games647

That'd be great <3
I look forward to hearing more. :)

@games647

I hope you add specific support for Herochat especially. :P Since I kind of have to use it now. xD

I think tabs would make chat life a whole lot easier for everyone, including myself. XD And this is so awesome. o.o

@games647

Maybe add support for a few widely used chat plugins?
I specifically use HeroChat myself, and I've seen several other servers that have used it too. I think Towny Chat is still in use sometimes and Essentials Chat sometimes?

@games647

Ah, that's a pity, because your idea of clickable tabs is really cool!

Yet, It would still be interesting to keep the concept of message queues not mixing up in the chat. Players would just have to select the active channel otherwise. For example, by starting a chat line with just a channel name followed by a colon. I would also keep the line with the different channel names and messages queued.

Some ideas for an AltTabChannels fork for MC 1.7.10 servers :-)

@games647

Spigot is included in (K)Cauldron and you can modify its config in the provided spigot.yml file.

For the ideas:

• ability to declare other global channels (through a new command or the config file). For example, to separate different spoken languages (EN, FR, NL, DE, SP, CN...)
• ability to join channels devoted to a PermissionsEx group, or to a list of groups

Before stumbling on your work, I was thinking about developing my own multi channels chat plugin. Now, when I find the time, I think I will try adapting your code to MC 1.7.10 to use this with my LOTR mod server.

Oh if only this was more of an additional "Addon" for existing chat plugins. XD
I love the idea of clickable chat tabs for chat, but I cannot change the chat plugin I use as it is a Dependency for a plugin I use. o.O

Does this have to be the main chat plugin, or is it possible to use with other chat plugins to provide click-able tabs for those plugins channels?

@games647

Hello! Actually, KCauldron is a bundle of Spigot, Minecraft Forge and CraftBukkit, in order to use both mods and plugins on a server, with high performances.

Perhaps the event there's a problem with is specific to 1.8.x Spigot?

Anyway, thanks for your time!

If you are interested, I have some ideas for the plugin development?
