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
I'm happy to hear about your opinion, just leave a comment with a feature request, bug, improvement or just a personal opinion.
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 Jan 6, 2013Is it possible to assign colors to a certain permissions group? So my "Members" group would all have blue names, but my "Guest" group would all have gray names. If it's not possible is it a planned feature? And if neither, could it ever be a feature?

I do, and it still shows ._. "chatTagEnabled": false, "chatTagRelationColored": true, "chatTagReplaceString": "[Test]", "chatTagInsertAfterString": "", "chatTagInsertBeforeString": "", "chatTagInsertIndex": 1, "chatTagPadBefore": false, "chatTagPadAfter": true, "chatTagFormat": "%s§f",
When it's true, it will show the right faction name. When it's false, it will show [FACTION]
The main reason I ask is because the faction tags start spamming my server (it usually has 40+ people on) and with faction names being up to 15 characters and adding prefixes like [RainbowDash], the chat line becomes half filled with just the names and prefixes :3
Also, I'm using GroupManager

Stated in the FAQ
@badda2k
You are the first one who requested that the factions tag is NOT displayed, you should be able to disable.
chatTagEnabled set it to false in your factions config

Provide more information please.
@GiraffeKnee
Read the FAQ.
@GiraffeKnee
Yes, turn signColors to true and then use the & values from /color list
@shankomaster
Try build 30, does it still occur?
@badda2k
I used the Factions API and my test were ok.
You want to display what exactly? Only factions tag? Only prefix?

Posted Jan 3, 2013I think it's not working properly with Factions :S Players have the colorme prefix+Faction Tag. Without this plugin, everything works fine (no faction tags showing). Think you could fix this somehow? Or maybe tell me that it's not a problem with colorme, but a problem with factions? :3

You don't create a .class file, you start working with a .java file and the compiler makes .class file.
The Listener is needed for the events like chatting or joining the game.
I put all the code that modifies and is called very often in my Actions class

What is the Listener and Actions for? Do I have to make a .class file for that too?
