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

Posted Aug 25, 2012Also imo for multi-colored names, you should grab the first letters color and set it for the color name tag over the head if thats possible

nametag means? :P
You can make own colors for the chat, however above the head are only the standard colors available!
(And I can't change this)

Yes, this is an issue I can't solve.
Every color char and the color value (like &5) counts as a character, too.
But I can't break the limit of 16 chars...
I'm sorry about this, but that's Minecraft

Factions seems a bit buggy for me :/
I recommend to use EssentialsChat and the softMode, my tests to make it work with factions weren't successfully...
@dropinnukes
Thanks! :)
@lovre321
You want to disable tabList feature?
Simply turn it off in the config.yml and the name won't be modified in the tab list!

You have to enable, playerTitleWithoutSpout, should even work wit VanishNoPacket.
I'll try to add factions support.
@Tom_Tomerlin
Read the big red part? O_O
@todo94
Are u using any other chat plugins?
If yes and soft mode is present, prefix or suffixes won't work, unless the chat plugin hooks into ColorMe

Posted Aug 17, 2012Love your plugin. I'm currently using Dev11 and it works great. had an issues with prefix+factions prefix but that was actually really easy to solve. the only problem is I cant get the color tags from tagapi to work at all. maybe i'm missing the setting (I'm blind when it comes to finding stuff it seems). or maybe tag api isn't working because vanishnopacket also uses it. not sure.

It works.
Seems like simpleclans is not working with ColorMe anymore.
@shankomaster
Well, the whole TagAPI stuff seems a bit unstable atm...
Thanks for the information anyway!

Posted Aug 16, 2012I tried dev 11, servers been up and good all day with the colors above heads turned off. When I first loaded it up it crashed in under 10 minutes with the colors turned on. I immediately turned them of and its been up since this morning. Not sure if they are the cause of the crashes but its not far fetched :O
