SimpleTabColors

A lightweight that adds permission-based colors to your tab list.

To have a player or group get a special color in the list, simply give them a permission that looks something like simpletabcolors.[color code]. For example, the permission simpletabcolors.4 applied to your admins group would give them a dark red name in the tab list.

This was designed to be a lightweight, permission-based plugin. It's less than 30 lines of code, and will remain working with future Bukkit/Minecraft updates for the foreseeable future with no updates required. Don't be worried if it hasn't been updated for 6 months!

Permissions

• simpletabcolors.[color code]: Gives the player with the permission a name in the tab list that is colored with the given color code.

The * Node Issue/Solution

If you have a permissions plugin that allows you to have a * node permission, this will give you all permissions, including the permissions for all the colors in the tab list. The first permission it finds will be used, which means if you have the star node, you'll usually have black.

When using the * node, you'll want to negate the permissions for all the colors you don't want until you get to the color you want. For example, in bPermissions, you negate permissions by using a minus sign in front of the permission. That might make your permissions look something like this:

- *
- -simpletabcolors.1 # Negate every color you don't want.
- -simpletabcolors.2
- -simpletabcolors.3
- simpletabcolors.4 # This one isn't negated because you want the dark red color (4).

You only have to negate permissions if you have or inherit the * node. The plugin should work fine under all other circumstances.
