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

Commands & Permissions
Only the bukkit permissions are supported! I highly recommend that you use a plugin for permissions like bPermissions!
If no permission system is found, all commands are for OPs only!
If you want to use ECONOMY, please use Vault!

Posted Jan 20, 2013This isn't right, my name has 13 characters, and including the &4 for the red, should only be 15. Why is it still limiting it? http://i.imgur.com/P1QBFFh.png

If you don't see the config option for min and max values, please delete your config once.
Since 3.7 you can control the minimum and maximum length ;)

You can change the chat message!
Either do it manual with the & values (player needs the colorme.chat permission) or use autoChatColor (player needs the colorme.autochatcolor.<color> permission)

Your name would be too long, the limitation (which I can't break) is 16 characters and for coloring I need 2 characters.
This is why the name is shortened.
@FaithlessGod
Not known, is the file changed at least?
Try 3.7 (waiting for approval right now), too please!

Posted Jan 12, 2013Whenever my server gets restarted, it resets the name colors to default. If I then use the command /color me red, to set it as it was it sets it says "You already have got this color in the world default". Is this a known bug? I run it along with Towny/Townychat.

There is a section in the config.yml of Essentials where you can modify the chat format, just put the ColorMe values in there.
Also does the FAQ states that you should look up the Usage in other chat plugins ;)
@lyrow
I can't understand what you want to say.
Read the FAQ first and please reply in full sentences, thanks!

Posted Jan 11, 2013Reading the FAQ didn't help me much...
My previous question: "I can't set prefixes and suffixes for some odd reason. I've made it so EssentialsChat supposedly doesn't interfere with any other chat plugin. So what am I doing wrong?"
Response: See the FAQ for "use in other chat plugins"
My question now: How do I apply it to EssentialsChat? Do I just throw it in it's config, or do I place it in a specific spot? My configuration broke when I tried.

Works just fine, updated the version anyway.
This plugin will also work on 1.4.7, 1.4.8 and should even work on 1.5 fine!
@jakester185
The "problem/bug" is mentioned in the FAQ
@xMinecraft

Depending on your permissions system you can set the colors/prefix/suffix for each group :)
As seen here: http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/colorme/pages/examples/
@badda2k
Ah I see, ColorMe detects Factions and auto-inserts the [FACTIONS] tag then, I'll see what I can do for the next release
