Why isn't afk kicking working? It was working fine until I updated both Bukkit and mChat a few days ago. I'm using Bukkit b1871 and mChat b114. Thanks!

@Spiritwo13 I don't think mChat has a /nick command. I give people the Essentials permission 'essentials.nick.color' for special nicks. :)

Will there be any kind of mChannel built in or support added again? :/ Not having it does annoy me terribly :P

Why am I unable to give anyone a nickname properly?

Normal nickname (ex: Cody) given to someone whose name is (cocoa1324) who has a asterisk prefix gives error: Error: special characters are not allowed. (can give myself (op) this nickname)

Trying to give myself a fancier nickname (ex: [Spirit]) gives error: Error: Nicknames must be alphanumeric.

Why can't we use these characters :(

@ribenafanta

For your first issue: Look in config.yml near the top for a line that reads:

tabbedList: Change that to +n or +dn

How do i easily turn commands like /me, /who, /msg, /m, /afk back on for the users of my server?

Do i really have to make a permissionsfile within mchat? Or is there a easy way to give permissions through configs, or my existing permissionsplugin (pex)?

Maybe there is a way to turn off the commands so they don't overwrite essentials?

Getting an error with the b114 "[SEVERE] Could not pass event org.bukkit.event.player.PlayerChatEvent to mChatSuite org.bukkit.event.EventException" full error can be found here: http://pastebin.com/5vJZnyKh

This error only shows up when two of certain ranks try and chat around the same time. For example I have a group that displays "Moderator" and "Support Admin" and I will recieve this error if I have more then one of the given rank trying to talk at the same time.

When I have this plugin installed, If players hold down tab, instead of seeing a persons full name all you see is their prefix. I have tried wthout the plugin, and it works fine. But no luck in getting the names back. Although when in chat you can see people's names fine, It is just on the tab player view. Also is there a way to disable the /afk? It is conflicting with essentials.

@KillahKiwi

Make your 'another question' a ticket. Then I can officially take a look at it and recommend it to MiracleM4n. :)

Is it possible to put players into groups based on them having a specific permission? I know with the old config style this was possible for prefixes only? Is it possible now at all?

Like having the permission mchat.group.user would put them into the group "user" and give them the group's prefix, list their group in /mlist, etc.

I'm asking because I use PermissionsBukkit and I do not want to have a seperate group listing for mChat.

Edit: Nevermind, I used the old nodes and it is working as I want it.

Another question: is there a +variable that contains the name of the killer for the custom death messages? And could deaths caused by players be separated from deaths caused by critters? Because the difference between "was killed by notch" and "was killed by a spider". In my native language it sounds even weirder to let out the preposition in the latter case.

Is it possible that the mchat.afk permission-node is broken? For me it only works if a player has '*' permission, with 'macht.afk' he always gets the message that he isn't allowed to use mchatafk I'm using CB 1.1-R3, mChat b114 and PEX 1.18, do you have any idea? Has anybody else this problem?

Latest build only seems to read user specific prefixes, while the older builds seem to be able to read group prefixes, which is what I've been using (to define a colour for each group corresponding to their rank). As it is right now, that would require me to add a colour for hundreds of users, and that just wouldn't work.

Now, what I'd like added.

Chat channels (like Herochat), as I love the way you can control the chat formatting with mChat, but I love the way you can create chat channels in Herochat. I just can't use two chat plugins together
More control over join/leave messages, because right now I'm not able to completly change colours (e.g. remove the yellow colour with let's say green), as it's defaulted to the standard, yellow colour. Either that, or make other plugins override the mChat set up for this (via an option in the config).
The ability to colourize the tabbed player list without affecting the connectivity bars (as if I add &f at the end now, it puts a paragraph letter at the end of my name in the tabbed player list)

Your right it was more then 2 colors. I forgot I use &f to count as white. But here is a screenshot. http://mcdominion.net/images/2012-02-02_14.25.51.png Check out my name how it cuts off it should be Nipper4369 It doesnt support names that are 2 long. I noticed people with longer names get cut off as well.
