zChat

zChat is a very simple chat manager for Bukkit. It was optimized to work with zPermission and requires Vault (other permissions plugins which uses Vault should also work, I only tested the plugin with bPermissions).

List of features:

• color chat
• local chat (optional)
• prefix/suffix support
• Factions support

zChat was originally forked of the bChatManager which was originally forked off the PEX ChatManager. 🙂

Installation

Make sure you have following plugins installed and configured:

• Vault
• Vault-supported permissions system (there is a list on the Vault page)

Put the zChat.jar into the plugins folder and the plugin will generate a config folder.

Config


formats:

    message-format: '[%world] %prefix %player: &f%message'
    local-message-format: '[LOCAL] %prefix %player: &f%message'
toggles:
    ranged-mode: false
    factions-support: false
other:
    chat-range: 100.0

• message-format – Format of a chat message when ranged mode is disabled or a global message format if ranged mode is enabled
• local-message-format – Explains itself 🙂
• ranged-mode – Disable or enable local chat
• factions-support – Disable or enable factions support. Be sure to disable that, if you don't have Factions plugin, otherwise you will get errors
• chat-range – Local chat radius

Available placeholders: %world, %prefix, %suffix, %player, %message, %displayname, %faction

Place "!" before your message to write in to the global chat.
