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

Strange - I've got an idea - that the TagAPI is causing it.
Would you mind trying dev 11 (already updated), with the value "playerTitleWithoutSpout" true and false?
Would help me to see if the TagAPI is a bit resource hungry!

If you are using the dev version, take a look at the color.yml -> it contains an example!

colorme.self.mixed
Ooops! Changed the dev document! Also forgot to mention that I had to change the custom color system a little bit
Please insert a comma after each of the color value. example: '&e,&a'
My mistakes!
Edit: dev10 released

Good to hear!
@shankomaster
Even with the TagAPI I can't change/keep the skin(But yes, TagAPI is planned) This is a limitation I can't break :(
I hope the API in 1.4 changes this!
Wait 1.3 changed it :O
Possible in 3.5 dev 8 (integration of TagAPI, too!)

Posted Aug 6, 2012Yeah it was an issue with the skin servers, but the names seem to disappear a lot as players teleport around and such. Either way at least you got the feature there :P Maybe you can think about implemented it with TagAPI?

Yeah, it's not mentioned yet.
This feature breaks the skin - I can't change anything about it...
