Wow, I feel like a noob, I cant seem to get the custom world names working, and none of the pages seem to be helping. I tried putting: survival_nether: 'Survival Nether' and it doesent work. Is there some perm or something I'm missing?

Ohh and i the default message config I use '+w'.

sorry :S

How do I set this up so that all of my groups and players from my PermissionsBukkit get automatically transferred over without me having to shut down my server and copy and paste every time I want to change someone's rank?

Hi, I got the group to display but I can't get the prefix to work. Which I use for coloring the group names. I am using PermissionsEx and I have tried to even use the info option/node option but none of them work. Please help me.

        worlds:

Please either open a ticket or pastebin your config files. It is not very nice looking for everyone to spam almost the exact same thing. The tickets are there to make it easier for people having similar issues to find results. (It is now also the only way I will answer support questions)

Hi, for me is almost the same ... except for the admin prefix ... it shows the admins correctly ... but it also shows me as an admin ... but i have a higher group than admins, the 'Owner' group ... Since I am an owner of the server it should show me in this group ... but it doesnt :(

groupnames:
       Owner: '[Owner]'
       Admin: '[Admin]'
       Supermod: '[Supermod]'
       Moderator: '[Moderator]'
       VIP: '[VIP]'
       Member: '[Member]'
       Verwarnt: '[Verwarnt]'
       Gast: '[Gast]'
       default: '[default]'
mchat:
    custVar:
        Owner: ''
        Admin: ''
        Supermod: ''
        Moderator: ''
        VIP: ''
        Member: ''
        Verwarnt: ''
        Gast: ''
        default: ''
    prefix:
        Owner: '&f[&6Owner&f]'
        Admin: '&f[&4Admin&f]'
        Supermod: '&f[&2Supermod&f]'
        Moderator: '&f[&aModerator&f]'
        VIP: '&f[&1VIP&f]'
        Member: '&f[&3Member&f]'
        Verwarnt: '&f[&dVerwarnt&f]'
        Gast: '&f[&7Gast&f]'
        default: '&f[&7Gast&f]'
    suffix:
        Owner: ''
        Admin: ''
        Supermod: ''
        Moderator: ''
        VIP: ''
        Member: ''
        Verwarnt: ''
        Gast: ''
        default: ''
worldnames:
    world: '[W]'
    world_nether: '[N]'

I also played around with the bukkitpermissions config like this:

Owner:
        permissions:
            mchat.whatever.INHERITEDNODE: false
            mchat.prefix.Owner: true

no effect :(

anyone any idea ?

I have the same problem like moose517. I even didn't even change anything in the config yet. My Prefixes are saved in the permissions.yml by PermissionsEx.

Any Idea how to get Prefixes work ?

Having a problem with prefix's nothing is showing. Unless i'm reading your page on info.yml wrong i thought this was correct.

Here is my config.yml

mchat-join-message: has joined the game.
mchat-date-format: HH:mm:ss
auto-Changed: 1
mchat-API-only: false
mchat-name-format: +p+dn+s&e
mchat-playerEvent-format: +p+dn+s&e
mchat-kick-message: has been kicked from the game.
mchat-message-format: '+hb+p+dn+s&f: +message'
mchat-leave-message: has left the game.
mchat-info-only: true
mchat-format-events: true
mchat-chat-distance: -1.0

and info.yml

mchat:
    custVar:
        Admins: ''
        Mod: ''
        AdvBuilder: ''
        Builder: ''
        default: ''
    group:
        Admins: ''
        Mod: ''
        AdvBuilder: ''
        Builder: ''
        default: ''

@Pymous

@WIbigdog

Please open a ticket for new feaure requests.

Pymous: I will include this in the next DEV build.

WIbigdog: I will once again look at newline characters for input. As newline characters do not actually make the messages go onto a new line for players (Only in console) It will be hacky at best.
