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

Alright, I'll add all the suggestions in the next version.
Actually I don't use the blacklist since I prefix my users on my server - nice to get a response what needs to be added!
Edit: Done, will release 1.6.1/1.7 soon anyway to address some smaller issue

Thank you! The new version allows me to use all the features of the plugin. :D
Would it be possible to make the word blacklist NOT case-sensitive? You can bypass the censor by playing around with capital letters. ('God' can be bypassed by setting the prefix to 'god')
Could you also make the blacklist filter out color-codes? 'God' can be bypassed by setting the prefix to 'G&fod'
Additionally, would it be possible to add a limit to how short a prefix can be? For example, allowing only prefixes that are longer than 3 letters? I'm trying to prevent players from impersonating the ranks of staff members (A for admin, M for moderator). However, I obviously cannot block 'A' as it'll prevent a prefix such as 'Alchemist' from being created. I could block [A], however, that can simply be bypassed using color-codes (&f[&9A&f]).

The space is wanted.
http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/colorme/files/10-v3-6/
Take a look at the new version, there is now a new way of using prefixes in other chat plugins.
I can add a customizable formatting of the chat in the next version
@Blue_Mountain
Thanks! (:

Posted Dec 4, 2012Hi there,
When using PermissionsEx, the prefixes defined in PEX shows up in-game, but it is separated from the player's name by a space. For example, if the prefix is [WEE], and the player's name is 'Hello', then it'll show up as '[WEE] Hello', and not '[WEE]Hello'. I know it seems trivial, but it is really bothering me and I was wondering if I could make the prefix sit cleanly against the player's name.
Furthermore, when using PermissionsEx, adding a prefix using ColorMe will throw the prefix in between PEX's prefix and the player's name. For example, if the prefix defined in PEX is [WEE], and the player's name is 'Hello', and you type /prefixer me [TEST], it'll become '[WEE] [TEST] Hello' instead of '[TEST]Hello' or at least '[TEST][WEE]Hello' (prefixes are supposed to be at the front, after all)
Lastly, ColorMe v3.5 prefixes refuse to work with the latest version of mChatSuite. You can set the prefix using ColorMe v3.5, but it will never show up in the chat. However, in the same scenario but with ColorMe v3.4.1, everything actually works. Any idea how to get the current versions of ColorMe to be prefixer-compatible with mChat like it does in the old versions?

Thanks for the video :D
I've added it, btw, TagAPI is implemented, so you can see the colored name above the head!
(Side note: worked before via SpoutCraft & is still working with SpoutCraft ;))

I need reports, but can imagine what's causing it.
@SICC805
I can add permissions like colorme.chat.color -> would auto color all text to the color.
@alanthya
Will look into DisguiseCraft issue
@amaster85
I'll add an extra installation page
@GavasaurusRex
Great, I'll have a look at it (:
@BlueJayofEvil
I'll link the thread to the custom colors. Thanks for that!
@EpicTrance
Will work on it at the weekend. Probably between Saturday and Sunday night.

Posted Nov 22, 2012I've tested with with Spigot #252 (a slightly modified version of CraftBukkit; latest build) and it works fine.
I've also posted a thread in this page's BukkitDev forum for sharing color.yml color setups. :)
@alanthya
I have that same issue. I get around it by switching to a different color and then back again. Not elegant, but it works for now as a workaround.

Posted Nov 2, 2012I use disguise craft, and when I disguise and undisguise, it changes my name back to white. Then I'll do /colorme <myname> <thecolormynamewas> and it will tell me my name is already <thecolormynamewas> is there a fix for this? Possibly add that to the faq.
Thanks!

Posted Nov 2, 2012Is there anyway for the next version to include permissions to use colored chat?
I want people to be able to have access to color chat, but only if they use in-game currency to be able to do so if that makes sense.
As of right now only OPs are able to use the codes which enable colored chat.
