iTags
iTags
Player tags, Hashtags, and more for Minecraft!
Use this plugin to tag players quickly, and easily. Just do @playername to get their attention. You can even use shortened versions of a player's name and the plugin will automatically display their full name. The tags are a perfect way to get a player's attention in chat.
This plugin is also great for server admins/mods who deal with larger servers that require an easy way to get a member's attention. By typing @loth, you can quickly and easy tell lothlirial that he should stop spamming the chat. :P

- Tag players in chat
- Tag players in signs
- Use colored hashtags
- Notify tagged players with a sound effect of your choosing!
- Send player a notification displaying the contents of the sign in which they were tagged (Can be disabled)
- BONUS: Clean up Dot Slashes (./) When people type ./ it will change to / for a cleaner way to explain commands.
- Automatically checks for updates /itags update

Maybe simpler output is creating permissions group excluded from using colored nick name.
And also HashTags haven't good color parser and output &f.

I like this idea. I'll mess with it and see if it's possible, but I think it will have to be the nickname no matter what

Thanks you for update. Now all is good.
I have some suggestion for you. Can you upgrade "useDisplayNameColors" option? I mean by add @ with yellow (or definied) color and if player haven't changed nickname - when use default PlayerTag color on nick (e.g. &e@&eWiedzmin137).

Line 25 of your config is chatColor: '&e' which means the color of chat will be YELLOW after a tag. This feature was added for people who use chat colors other than WHITE.
You can just change it to chatColor: '&f' to fix it :P
EDIT: I just went on your server and tested it. There is a bug: The chatColor isn't being parsed by the plugin. I've fixed this and uploaded version 2.1.1!

I don't know much about how HeroChat works but I don't see anything about it even having the /g command. I tried setting it up on a server to do that. But when global chat was default, the tags worked fine while 'twitter-style-private-messages: false'

Can you just make it look for it at all in chat? I am pretty sure it would work if you got it to work for /msg. or /t.

Hmm. Without creating specific hooks for HeroChat or possibly only by editing the actual HeroChat plugin, I don't think I can control this since it is inside of that command /g

Posted Jan 12, 2014I am currently using herochat as my chat manager. We don't want players to focus global as it would create spam, so they have to do "/g [msg]" in order to talk across the entire server. Is there any way you can add it so that "/g @jacklink01 Hello!" If they use the /g before the message it won't do the @ thing. Is there an easy fix?
Same with the "#". I can't do "/g Hello! #Yolo". It doesn't change it.

Yeah I know. I didn't want to make it change the whole chat color because this isn't supposed to be a chat formatting plugin and I didn't want to break other plugins. So if you set your color to be green in your chat plugin, you can set it here too for consistency.
Is there a reason you'd prefer that it set the chat color for the whole message?

Posted Jan 11, 2014The chat color only adds an &f (or whatever you put in there after it..)
it just adds it to the end of the hashtags/notification.

Lol. I can add a pitch and volume option. That's easy enough. v2.2 though :P
I have some plans for hashtags to make them more useful and less inviting of spam.

There really should be to be a config option to set the max characters on hashtags... my players are making hashtags, almost 2 lines long...

You should allow us to configure the volume and pitch of the sounds we use, i have been expirimenting and i found that
"/playsound mob.ghast.affectionate_scream @a ~ ~ ~ 2 2 1"
Sounds absolutely hilarious!

I just took the time to decompile the code and i found the actual permission node.
if you want players to use that chattags thing, use permission "itags.playertag"
i found this one too:
"itags.links"
edit: Wow, fast response time lol. Thanks.

Posted Jan 10, 2014I am having an issue with the "itags.chattag" permission. Only ops are able to use the chattag... no one else can use it, even if they have the permission. Everything else works fine though.
