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

This is caused by your chat plugin.
I decided to remove the white "ending" from the displayname.
If you aren't using any other chat plugins, ColorMe will change the format to a "working" on.
What chat plugin are u using?
@DuckzDS
Should be added in the next version :)

It is!
Turn "changeDisplayname" to false in the essentials config.
I'll add that to the FAQ

As in the actual text you chat =) I love the idea of this plugin, but currently we have 2 separate plugins, on for prefixes, one for chat, and they don't like each other much ._. So I would be incredibly grateful if you could implement a coloured chat feature please =D

The last '>' behind the name also changes color. I'm pretty sure that shouldn't happen, any idea on what could cause/fix this?

Do you mean in chat or the name? :P
Maybe I can implement an autocolor feature.

Does this support coloured chat for certain people you specify? So like an OP can set the colour of Player1 to red, and Player2 to blue, but they themselves cannot edit it unless they have OP?

If you use an other chat plugin, but the white color between the name and the message ('&f' or maybe '§f').
@EpicTrance
Same here, look above ;)
@emfjop
What? I only understood half of the message. If you turn the global prefix to display all the time - it will be displayed regardless if the player has other prefixes or not.
@krconv
That's weird. If you experience lag, try to delete your players.yml (or manually remove the entries without any real information).
In my tests it worked good with ChatManager. Turned softMode to true?

I do have ChatManager and PermissionsEx using %displayname. We had colored names just fine using the dev version, but were getting huge lag issues from it and decided to switch to the RB, and now it won't color names.

Posted Sep 11, 2012Hi, i habe 2 doubts; if i put a player in a group and set the global prefix, the player in the group has the global perfil and his group perfil. Is there any way yo remove the global perfil fron groups? And the other: is there any way to have a permisión Per. Group? For example: in PEX i set a player the vip group with his perm and he Gets the yellow color and the red red prefix, and when i remove him from PEX he Gets Out of the group and restores the global prefix, it would be agreat feature( it os on simpleprefix) thanks
