TitanChat

Overview

TitanChat is a chat management and formatting plugin, its high flexibility is what makes it special. Instead of having a large bulk of hardcoded supports for other plugins, an addon system was implemented so that addons, custom channels and external commands can be coded to support other plugins and add new features. The built in commands in TitanChat help make your chat management task easier. Channels can also be disabled to have your old global Minecraft chat, but giving you more control over chat.

Announcements

11.12.13

Currently busy with school, but v5.0.0 is still being worked on.

12.08.13

TitanChat v4.1.0 will be the latest until the rewrite is completed to release v5.0.0. This rewrite is started due to the messiness of adding new features and functions, even though v4.0 should have improved it a lot. This should not be an impact to users since this is not a usage change, although the command system will be overhauled to become easier to understand. Sorry in advance for the lack of releases for the time being, and thank you in advance for your understanding.

Hello, I have a question: For what exatcly is this option?:

server: enable: true format: '<&4Server> %message'

If I use /say <message> the Server is using his own Chat color and format, so which command I have to use that this format is used on the server broadcast?

Other thing is, if I set global to true then all other Channels can hear this channel too or?

Another thing :D, is there maybe a permission note I can give to for example admins, so that they can hear all Channels togheter?

TitanChat v3.4 will really allow you to use TitanChat prefix nodes and suffixes nodes with permission plugins other than PEx. All you need to do is list them out under "permissions" in the config, Spaces are allowed, but you need to quote the entire permission node in the list and in the config of the permission plugin. Won't be long until it's out. ;)

Thanks for telling me, I had no idea that the JAR on DBO was broken. You can download from the description instead of waiting for it to be approved. :)

The link didnt work :/

Hi there, i downloaded TitanChat, thinking, this seems as close as i can get on a 1.2.5-R1.0 server to HeroChat(stopped updateing) but i found that it doesnt load:

[SEVERE] Could not load 'plugins\TitanChat.jar' in folder 'plugins' org.bukkit.plugin.InvalidDescriptionException: Invalid plugin.yml at org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPluginLoader.getPluginDescription(JavaPluginLoader.java:201) at org.bukkit.plugin.SimplePluginManager.loadPlugins(SimplePluginManager.java:132) at org.bukkit.craftbukkit.CraftServer.loadPlugins(CraftServer.java:207) at org.bukkit.craftbukkit.CraftServer.<init>(CraftServer.java:183) at net.minecraft.server.ServerConfigurationManager.<init>(ServerConfigurationManager.java:53) at net.minecraft.server.MinecraftServer.init(MinecraftServer.java:156) at net.minecraft.server.MinecraftServer.run(MinecraftServer.java:422) at net.minecraft.server.ThreadServerApplication.run(SourceFile:492) Caused by: java.util.zip.ZipException: error in opening zip file at java.util.zip.ZipFile.open(Native Method) at java.util.zip.ZipFile.<init>(Unknown Source) at java.util.zip.ZipFile.<init>(Unknown Source) at java.util.jar.JarFile.<init>(Unknown Source) at java.util.jar.JarFile.<init>(Unknown Source) at org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPluginLoader.getPluginDescription(JavaPluginLoader.java:189) ... 7 more

This bugs me ever so much for it really seemed like a good plugin. I read on something about support other plugins but i cant script or programme so this is a waste.

Please help!!!!

This Chat Plugin is really nice, but maybe you could add I don't know more pictures and a better design on your main thread here to get more Users to this Plugin, because it's really nice. But I think a lot of people don't know about it, because of a bit difficult format of the text on this page to see with 1 look, this Plugin is easy to configure, to understand and to use! Don't understand me wrong I only want to help you that more people use this :D And I know my english is not the best :p

I hope you guys go on with development and that more people use this Plugin :)

Kind of hard to test out this plugin when, on startup I get:

[SEVERE] java.io.FileNotFoundException: http://www.nodinchan.com/NC-LoaderLib.jar

EDIT: And there it managed to get it downloaded. Had to try several times though..

Going to release v3.3 soon along with several more addons. Including Factions, Towny and SimpleClans, and probably some others when I get the time.

Note that Bukkit changes all permission nodes to lower case, hence TitanChat reads the prefix nodes and suffix nodes as lower case, this will persue until Bukkit changes their code for permissions.
