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

As a reminder I want to say that I worked very long on this and really appreciate a 'thank you' in form of a donation! (See details on the bottom)

Posted Dec 21, 2012In Tekkit, it's coloring the entire line of text, not just the name. I'm not sure if it's an issue with Tekkit, or if it's with DispNameChanger.

Any way to make it so that only some players can view other players' colors? Trouble in Mineville does it, so I know it is possible.

Posted Dec 18, 2012I'm kinda new to plugins and server hosting, I have essentialschat and I would like the features if colorized tablist and colored name over someone's head. But everything else in color me seems to be I essentialschat, if I were to get colorme should I keep essentialschat to or delete it? If I do delete it would anything go wrong like I have colored signs on my server would they go normal? Would groups colors go normal colors? Etc.

You can try build #17, I implemented a check again which should prevent it!

Just add a new line and add a word in the bannedWords.txt file
Remember that the 3.7 snapshots contain a better filter system, to use them visit http://ci.dustplanet.de
@Maroseliss
I'll look into it, what't causing it, I have an idea, give your users the "essentials.chat.color" permission and see if it works
@ryanblm
I have no idea, I may look into it, too

Posted Dec 16, 2012Amazing plugin, I love it :)
I have a small issue with it being compatible with "change-displayname: true" in Essentials. Whenever I have this set to "true" (to enable nicknames) it changes all name colors originally changed with ColorMe back to their default colors as shown in permissions. Once I change it back to false in Essentials, the display names show the ColorMe colors again.
ColorMe: Version 3.6
Essentials: Pre2.9.6.1
Spigot: 1.4.5-R0.2
Thanks for any and all help!

You stripped off the most important part...
Anyway, you could try the 3.7 dev builds and see if the error still appears!

Hi, I recently made a suggestion about the blacklist filtering out color-codes. I was hoping you could do that with the minimum-limit that you have considered implementing. You can filter out one letter prefixes such as 'A' by setting the minimum-limit to 3. However, one may be able to bypass this by setting the prefix to "&f&f&f&f&f&fA".
If you were already aware of this possible issue, and have already taken it into account, then my apologies for doubting you. :P

Good point
Maybe I'll add support for it, but only for the third party prefixes from pex/bPerms

Posted Dec 9, 2012It would be really nice if you could add multiple prefix and suffix
Example ; Acces Level = Admin , prefix1 = [A] Acheivement Level = Diamond , prefix2 = Diamond Donator Level = King , prefix3 = King Name = Herobrine Kingdom = Narnia , Suffix1 = of, Suffix2 = Narnia
Result = [A] Diamond King Herobrine of Narnia say: Hi
Since a player can be in multiple group in permission EX then it would be really easy to manage.
Thanks

Just remove yourself the "colorme.autochatcolor.*" permission and you are fine, I'll add it to the FAQ

Posted Dec 7, 2012xGh0sTkiLLeRx, ColorMe is a great plugin! Thank you for it!
But 3.6 was not working for me (I was need to downgrade to 3.5 (that's work perfect), because of when I was trying to text to the chat it has added &0&0&0 at the begin of the chat string.
I've switch off autoChatColor, and then it stops doing that. But the global color was stoped working!
I could create ticket for you, and pastebin my config and so on.

Posted Dec 6, 2012Is there functionality to REMOVE the players name above their had, as I'm using this for an RP server, and would prefer there to be no name above the player's head.
Thanks,
