Posted Mar 12, 2012This is rediculously complicated. I'm owner, and I don't have permissions to do anything. When I look at the "permissions" area on this page, it explains nothing. D....Leted!

Is the new group ineriting permissions from an existing group? If so, remember to put: mchat.prefix.Inheritedgroupname: false mchat.prefix.newgroupname: true

How did you fix the first issue? Whenever I create a new group, it keeps using a different group's prefix in chat.

Posted Mar 11, 2012I managed to get the plugin itself working with my server, but I'm not sure how to get prefixes and colors to work anymore. I had it working fine prior to updating. Any help?

Posted Mar 11, 2012I have a couple of issues: First, I'm using oldnodes so I can keep my config and group names. Everything is working perfectly apart from I tried creating a new group, and I cannot get it to work in the chat.
Second, when I press tab, it shows peoples names but only about 10 characters. WIth the groupnames in the prefix this means most of their name is cut off.
Please help!

Posted Mar 10, 2012The people who have those Worlds in their prefixes. Its caused by multiverse.. and mchat together. You can change the alias for the world in the Multiverse config!

Posted Mar 10, 2012I am running McMyAdmin and the newest version of Bukkit / Minecraft. I copied mChatSuite-Dev.jar into my plugins folder, but it still is not changing username colors or added the group prefixes as I have defined in McMyAdmin. What am I missing?

Posted Mar 10, 2012Hello, I have a issue for when i use the /msg command, For example it will state two prefixes instead of stating the desired prefix, '[-Player-Owner-RandomPlayer]: Hi'
Instead of the desired, '[-Owner-RandomPlayer]: Hi'
Anyway can you help me on this? Thanks, Aaron. Edit: Also i cant seem to get my users to be able to use the /afk command even though the correct node is in place?

Posted Mar 8, 2012Hi,
Before the MC1.2 updates, I was able to easily set groups to have a specific prefix and suffix, however, if I wanted different ones for different users in the same group, I could easily set it up to inherit the groups prefix, and then individually set the suffix.
I can no longer do this with the same config.yml and info.yml that I have used all this time.
Config.yml http://dev.bukkit.org/paste/4864/
Info.yml http://dev.bukkit.org/paste/4865/
Does anyone know how I can achieve this?

I use for the groups EssentialsGroupManager and i have Vault My config.yml & locale.yml http://dev.bukkit.org/paste/4859/ http://dev.bukkit.org/paste/4858/

You should set it false and use "useOldNodes" to true only then you can use group prefix

Posted Mar 8, 2012I know you're getting swamped with bugs, but I just wanted to let you know you're doing a great job. This is probably the only decent chat plugin out there that lets you do group-based coloring.

Posted Mar 7, 2012I'm lost, I set up use new into to true and set up the Groups how I like (with prefixes) but it wont show up. Only if I edit it per user will the changes I've made show up. How Do I make it so it just takes from the group and not the user
