just fyi im using towny chat

I think this is caused by Towny's chat module merging the group + player prefix on its own. I don't know how to do this, but you might want to see if you can configure it to only use the player's prefix.

Edit: Unfortunately, it looks like there's no way to do this on Towny's side.

I would see if an option can be added over there first.

I could add yet another chat hack on my side, but I'd rather avoid it. One of these days I'm just going to throw out all this stupid chat code...

when i say [perfix1] [prefix2] [Player] :some text and [perfix1] [perfix1] [prefix2] [Player] :some text

i mean [groupperfix1] [groupprefix2] [Playername] :some text

and [groupperfix1] [groupperfix1] [groupprefix2] [Playername] :some text

have I got the wrong end of the stick with what zperms can do with merging group prefixes ?

@JamieKG: Go

As I said in my edit, Towny is automatically merging the player's primary's group's prefix.

When you use vault-player-prefix-format, that new prefix generated by zPerms is returned as the player's prefix.

There's not really anything I can do on my side.
