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 Feb 23, 2013Hi there, your plugin is very well created however, I have one minor problem.
I use essentials nicknames so that I can do /nick <playername> <nickname>
This allows me to put &1, &4, etc In the nickname to give a colour/color. However within the essentials config I have the
change-displayname: true
set, this then stops me from using your color me plugin, it says it changes the color but it doesn't. I was wondering is there a way where both can be used, as if I set it to false I can use color me fine, but then I can't changes nicknames. Thanks in advance, if you don't understand what I mean just ask.
Thanks -Stuartie

It's untested so far, so go ahead and try it. You may need to disable softMode

It would't be hard to code, however I would need to "remember" the color I used the last time for each user, resulting in a HashMap which saves the colors of the user.
I believe this won't fit in ColorMe perfectly, since when I need to hold 200-300 players this might start to lagg.
Anyways, I'll make a quick small extra plugin and send you the link :) Edit:
Have fun! https://dl.dropbox.com/u/26476995/RainbowChat.jar

Posted Feb 18, 2013I have a question about the possibility of creating like an almost formulaic color code to replicate rainbow in text. Would it be possible to alter and add a code that would allow a user to have their chat follow the format dark red, red, gold, yellow, light green, dark green, aqua, and dark aqua which would repeat after each cycle? I have never seen it done so I was wondering if it was even possible because I would LOVE it if I could get my chat text to be "rainbow"

Do you have other chat plugins installed?
@Coffeemann
Thanks, I'll add it! :)
@Geoneo97
I will see if this is a valid bug or not, thanks anyway for the report
@Dood76
What do you need to have explained?
It's as simple as it sounds! Press TAB and you see the list of players, these can be colored, too!
@BoBot10 @skyheat
Have you both looked at the FAQ?
Any other chat plugins installed?
