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

Well for example the default color for an Admin name is dark blue on my server but I would like to color my name to dark red, so I type /color me dark_red and it colors all of my name "[Admin] MongooseBoy26" all dark red when I want it to keep the prefix dark blue.. So any suggestions?

@MongooseBoy26
I won't forget you ;)
In 3.5 you will see ColorMe uses GroupManager prefixes for the groups -> won't color something else.
And even now it shouldn't!
@Harry77780
Yes what? Ticket? ChatManager? EssentialsChat?

I can add it as a very EXPERIMENTAL (and not recommend) feature - I can't keep the skins....
Please create a ticket and provide me the essentials and the PEX configs!
Also are you using EssentialsChat / ChatManager?

Posted Jul 11, 2012Do the colored nameplates (name above heads) appear for the people who do not have SpoutCraft client? If it doesn't could you add that feature, I don't care if it breaks peoples skins :D (But if you could make it NOT lose skins that would be even better)

Posted Jul 10, 2012Um, I was just wondering... I installed 3.4.1on my server and was wondering if there was a way I could make it so that when you colored a name it would only specifically color the player's IGN not the Prefix I have set via GroupManager, so please help, and thank you!

Hmm, weird, there was an issue with the world - I guess because of the major lagg.
@iMine101
In 3.4.1 you can set the EssentialsChat config to use names and not displaynames, play a bit around with it
In 3.5 it will hook into groups of GroupManager/PEX/bPermissions, so an extra ChatPlugin shouldn't be needed anymore (and it will conflict then!)

Posted Jul 9, 2012Great plugin! Only complaint I have about it is. . . I have in my essentials chat it setup so that the names of members are colored green . . . however after i installed this the names of the members changed back to white. Is there anyway you can make is so that their color stays green unless i want to change it? Also can you make it so that I can make custom color configurations to the names. . .Great plugin though!

Using the latest dev version or 3.4.1
In 3.4.1 it will ignore the PEX stuff,
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/26476995/ColorMe_dev.jar
Try this build please, it will hook into PEX!

/color list -> shows list of colors.
Then make for example: /prefix me &c[Admin] to make it red.
Will state that clearer in the post with the 1.5 release.

Thx, will tweak /colorme reload to not ignore changes.For now, please add the colors while colorme is disabled.
Updated the build to dev6
Whats new:
Group prefix/suffix from bPermissions, PEX or GroupManager. (disable ownSystem in the config under groups).
