If you open up the jar, and open up plugin.yml, just remove the word 'who' from the file.

How do I make it so I can use the default or essentials Private Message and commands? I only want mChat to add prefixes and not mess with any other chat.

How do I use my colors from my permissions prefix in the TAB menu without the long prefix? I'd like to have Admin in that but just the admin color in the tab menu

MiracleM4n, liking the suite and really the player list tab customization, good work. I've looked around, maybe not good enough, before coming to ask you if there is a way to change the way a PM displays in chat. As of right now, it stands out because it has something like Me: >

It's not a real big issue, but is there a way to change the coloring on that arrow or to set it up differently at all? Sorry if I missed it somewhere in the settings.

@Smidds

I'm fairly sure that Essentials has an option inside it's configuration file that allows you to specify commands which it will.. Take priority over?. So you could tell it to use /afk and it would stop passing the command to mchat and only Essentials would be sent the command. I may be wrong though.

Is there anyway to let plugins like essentials by-pass the features of this plugin? For example, Essentials has a /afk command, but it conflicts with mChat's /afk because with essentials, you use /afk to get out, but in mChat, you need /back, which is a command for essentials. Also, if I were to disable the mchate features, I am unable to use essemtial's version of /afk, or speak in the console, or use a collection of other features i use other plugins for. Any ideas?

Hi, I was wondering if you could tell me why leave messages have stopped showing?
When a player joins, X has joined the game. But when they leave, nothing...

~~Since (I think) build 102, the dev mChatSuite builds have become incompatible with TownyChat~~ and the /mchatlist shows all variables unparsed (like +group).

Commit: "Deprecation of Player related API settings. Fixed small PM fix. Fixed Variable limitation for listVar. Updated Events. RB coming soon, One worthy of DBO..."

~~Hopefully this does not mean we're forced to pray for the Towny devs to decide to support a brand new API?~~

Scratch all that - TownyChat SHOULD work with mChatSuite. It's very, very picky about it's config file, however. If you are having problems, let the plugin remake the config file and restart the server.

I still have a weird new layout for /list, however. It appears to be using the formatting for chat strings instead of list formatting.

Finally, the /me command seems to be broken.

Are there known problems with Towny? I'm having trouble passing Towny prefixes to mChat. Everything's setup fine, but it's just not working. It's doing it as if Towny were disabled, e.g. {townyprefix} instead of Mayor. I have Towny's "modify chat" disabled. And I've double-checked configs for both mChat and Towny. If anyone has any thoughts on this, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

This does not work with the latest version of Heroes:

(Log is upside-down)

This error occurs on logon, quit, and possibly more [above is on quit]. I even took the "+HC" out of my config file and I still got this error.

@MiracleM4n

Alright, I did this in the format section. tabbedList: '&7[+p&7]&f+dn'

and for the prefixes in the permissions it is as follows Prefix: '&9A'

It is still cutting my name off (Valiantiam) like this [A]Valia

Edit Okay, so I guess the color coding in the format still counts as extra characters too.... I wish there was a way around this so I could still show tags in the tab list :/ well If you have any more ways around what I am trying to do based on what I have posted, please feel free to provide! :) lol....if not, I will just remove the prefixes from the tab list. in the tab. list. Am I missing something still?

Ohh, alright that actually explains a lot. I figured it something to do along those lines, just wouldn't click right in my head.

Ill set up more color coding details in the custom format instead of the prefixes themselves. Thank you again.

This is a Minecraft issue not a mChatSuite issue. The PlayerList can only be 16 characters long (this includes colour codes) this is why I implemented its own format (format.tabbedList) so that you can make it shorter or remove it all together.
