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

If no permission system is found, all commands are for OPs only!
If you want to use ECONOMY, please use Vault!

Posted Sep 9, 2012Hey, your plugin used to work great for me, but now the text along with the name has changed color:
I want the default names of people to be gray but I want the text (what they write) to be white. I have Essentials. And also here's my config: http://pastebin.com/PTYW4XG6
How can I make the text white? D:

The 3.5 release buidl?
Turn essentials config.yml "changeDisplayname" to false
@EpicTrance
Do you have the colorme.namtag permission and are u using standard colors?
@krconv
Change the ChatManager config to use displaynames and not names. (%displayname)
@joehot200
Will look into Factions again...

Posted Sep 4, 2012BRILLIANT PLUGIN! i can give prefixes, suffixes, and colours to my players! :):) would it be possible to make it so it does not make the faction prefixes (or other prefix plugins) make any other prefixes looks weird?

@alanthya
3.5 works fine with 1.3.1 and 1.3.2 - all builds.
I don't know where your issue is?
@FTSxRY4N
Example:
Admin: default: false prefix: '&8[&4Admin&8]' permissions: - '*'
Now remember to turn "ownSystem" to false in the ColorMe config!
@TheNoobiestCrafters Thanks! :)
@Swords761
Yeah, PEX is only for Prefix/Suffix. Since it offical doesn't support colors.
Maybe I can do a little trick. I'm trying to optimize this a bit in the next version!
Other idea: Use the global default color - and allow other users to color themselves?

Posted Aug 27, 2012I actually concur with broluigi... is there a way to give a permission or something to a group in PEX so everyone has that color above their head and/or in the tab list? Or is PEX only supported for prefix/suffixes?
In other words, do I have to manually add every user to a group using your system to get the colors?
Basically I'm trying to use Herochat for chat colors, and PEX already takes care of prefixes for me. I just want colors above the player and in the tab list.

Since I just submitted 3.5, I'll add something like that in the next build
(I guess I'm releasing a hotfix - since there will be some errors :))
THX for your continued testing!
