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)

In 3.6 you can turn "chatBrackets" to false,
if you use a 3.7 SNAPSHOT you can define the whole chat formatting and turn legacyFormat to false.
@Fopom1
Give them the "colorme.autochatcolor.YourWantedColor" permission and of course replace YourWantedColor with a valid color from /color list

Posted Dec 29, 2012@xGh0sTkiLLeRx I am having some problems with this plugin, first of all, I would rather the prefix be like [Prefix]&fPlayer&7:&f Text, rather then [Prefix]&f<Player> Text
Here is my example as a picture to show you what I mean. http://i47.tinypic.com/9iagig.png

Posted Dec 27, 2012We installed this as a perk for some people and it works great. The only problem we have is using it with signbank. When trying to enter and amount to deposit/withdrawal the signbank plugin does not recognize the number, I would assume it is picking up the hidden symbols first. Is there a way around this on the colorme end?
Thanks!

Posted Dec 27, 2012Is there a way that the tet colour of my admins appears in gold? Not only their name but the stuff they write. So that when they talk people know that an admin is talking.

Are you editing the files directly? When the server is running -> please try it, when the server is not running.
Linux? Make sure ColorMe can edit/save (in other words -> write permission) the files

Is the color at least saved in the players.yml?
@SShad1ow
Just use TagAPI, give yourself (or a player) the colorme.nametag permission, enable "playerTitleWithoutSpout" and color normal via /color
@rockhead162
If you use a permission system, look how to negate a permission.
If you are using no permission system, please try a 3.7 build from here:

Posted Dec 23, 2012Well I used Colorme and DispNameChanger before on a normal bukkit server and they worked well together. I guess Tekkit just likes to bug things out. Ah well. At least we have custom names. Colorme won't save colors in Tekkit.

FAQ....
See the permission site to set your color to something else.
@VasVadum
Idk if it's Tekkit or not, you may test it with pure craftbukkit and post the result,
then I might look into DispNameChanger and see if there is an issue.
@TheFluffey
A permission to see the color in chat? Tab list? Above head?
@Maroseliss
I'll try to solve this, no promises.
@imVivacity
You can use EssentialsChat or delete it, up to you.
The sign colors and chat colors will work anyways
