Posted Dec 22, 2013I have a few IRC bots in the same channel coming from different servers - is there currently a way (without going to each bot and muting all the other bots) to have the plugin ignore other PurpleIRC bots?

Posted Dec 14, 2013I am using Towny's chat system (TownyChat) on my server and I was wondering if there is a way to hide the internal town communication from the IRC. Global, staff and town/nation chat all seem to be going through the game-chat.

Stop your server. Copy your bot yml file to http://yamllint.com/ and verify that the syntax is correct. Fix the file and start the server.
Do the same thing for your config.yml.

What version of HeroChat and Bukkit are you running? It looks like HeroChat is cancelling the chat message. Do you have any other chat plugins installed?
Edit: Actually HeroChat has a separate listener. Can I see the startup log?
Edit 2: Do you have "hero-chat" listed under enabled-messages?
