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

Or do you want that some players are able to use it?

Normally suffix and prefix won't show in the tab list. Only in the chat.
If you want to disable them, turn it in the config to false and restart the server.
http://db.tt/m6aRoypu - Try this build instead. Addtionally there is a command called /color reload to reload the entire plugin!

Soon I've got summer holidays and will be able to work on it :)

Since there is no PEX integration (yet), it can't work.
It's planned to support the group prefixes of PEX. I'm still working on it, because I have to implement others like bPermissions or GroupManager, too!
Btw. are you using the ChatManager?

Yes and no. It's a bug in the latest version. You can try the dev version (should run stable) or wait until I release 3.5

Because 3.5 is not released, bold isn't supported that way.
You can use the trick and edit the the file manually.
§l§c[ADMIN]
That should work.
@Emcitement
Well, I can confirm that in 3.5 the color list works like it should be. :)
And this "changing" character is no bug, since Minecraft does support the color (called magic).
@Emcitement
No Towny integration so far. Not sure if I add this...
And what do you mean with "limit"?
@shankomaster
Great!
@FTSxRY4Nx
Planned for the next version - own group system or hook into GroupManager, bPermissions and PEX

Posted May 30, 2012Great plugin. Only complaint is the /colorme list seems to be messed up.
When I go to it, one of the characters on the third line constantly changes to others making all the text shake.

Posted May 26, 2012Can you please add group prefixes/names/suffixes that support PEX. For example i could change the prefix of the whole Admin group to [Admin] instead of changing each individual player.

Electric creepers can occur naturally. Not caused by ColorMe. See http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Creeper#Charged_Creepers
I aware of the missing tab autocomplete function... EDIT: I can't fix it. Only way is to disable TAB list in the config!
@nhoclesnar
I'll update the dev version.

Posted May 23, 2012When I tried the dev version that was up earlier, I was getting electric creepers and the tab autocomplete feature was not functional. everything else worked great though, so looking forward to an update!
