Color chats are assigned to a "group" in the rank system and each rank is a specific group and therefore a specific type of permissions. One of those permissions is your chat color.

 

So... are the permissions locked when that specific group was originally established? When I said "in depth", I also meant some of the literal code itself, a mistake on my part.
Anyway, thanks for answering.

 

I mean an entire group can be edited
I think a specific persons perms can be changed to an extent
No one is going to show you the code involved lol

 

An example would be to look into the Essentials Chat Plugin. This is where group color codes are assigned:

Code:

############################################################
# +------------------------------------------------------+ #
# |    EssentialsChat    | #
# +------------------------------------------------------+ #
############################################################

chat:

group-formats:
Ultimate: '&f {DISPLAYNAME}: &7{MESSAGE}'
Moderator: '&e[M]&f {DISPLAYNAME}: &7{MESSAGE}'
Admin: '&4[A]&f {DISPLAYNAME}: &7{MESSAGE}'
Owner: '&6[O]&f {DISPLAYNAME}: &7{MESSAGE}'

Each group, such as the Moderator group, has preset configurations for chat outputs. Players are usually manually placed into groups, which we typically call ranks. For example when a Ult becomes staff they move from their Ult rank to Helper rank, which changes their chat settings. In order for you to have a unique setting you would need to make a unique group. This is why two Ults groups would be required to allow Ults to change from orange to a 2nd color. So if a player wanted to switch, an admin with access to Essentials would need to manually move a players file to a new group/rank.

 

Unless you guys can find a better color than orange, that's NOT white (which is cit color and people like to be different) that's easy to see, that's not staff color, it can't be done.

I love how we are having a ridiculous argument on one chat color.

 

would it not make sense to let ults go back to a previous color if thats what they wanted
I've always mostly argued that they be let able to use purple or white instead of orange

 

Why is that a reason to -1

 

This has been a war for a long time which recurs every few months. In one camp, you always have the people who like the color orange, and want to keep their color. On the other side, you have all the people who just blatantly hate orange, and would like to dump it in an active volcano to get a different color.

 

its been denied because its simply not needed, you dont pay 320 dollars to have the ability to change your chat colors, its just extra hastle for techs and just isn't absolutely necessary

 

Please dawn can you show me which ranked perks are absolutely necessary? Using "it's not necessary" as an argument would mean going back to the vanilla gamemode. None of the commands are necessary but people will pay money for them, the idea is to add benefits that increase donation incentives. Would the ability to change chat colors not be a donation incentive?

 

Dumping things in volcanoes makes them turn orange! You're so Clueless, Clueless.

 

Yes, if the "donation" was not a 160 dollars upgrade from Supreme, I would gladly pay to change my chat color... for whatever reason.

I think there are way more important matters to focus techs' work on than the chat color of a rank.

Sure, that's a stupid argument for the suggestion to be denied. What's the alternative, though? If they accept it, it will sit in Trello for months if not years.

For a suggestion that only a handful people care about it's not worth the time.
No one is going to donate if you change ults color.

 

^ This is all I was trying to get across. I personally like orange and don't really care about the ability to change, nor do I think it's practical since you need to edit Essentials. I just wanted to show that "this isn't necessary" isnt a logical reason to deny a ranked perk suggestion.

 

i wasnt denying it i just really dont think this one is absolutely needed. Orange is fine as is right now, i see that some people dont like it, but i dont think theres really a need to change it @Deljikho

 

I don't see why not.

Groups:
Ult_Orange
Ult_Blue
Ult_Green
etc etc etc

All with same perks.

Defaults to Ult_Orange. Ult command: "/chatcolor blue" changes group to Ult_Blue. Simple, easy, organized.

Is it worth implementing? Not sure. Is it easily possible? I don't see why not, unless I am totally missing something (probably am).

 

Well of course you should be able to change chat colours for 320$ BECAUSE ITS 320 DOLLARS
That's a lot of money to be spending on a Minecraft server for what, fly ? And that's all we get




You have no valid argument

I mean, I dont think most of the people will be mad, I mean how many ultimates really play on the server?

this is probably going to be the best option for those people @Dockson

Yes its worth implementing

Running my server, it would probably take me an hour to locate a way on Pex, or maybe just ask on the bukkit forums and get some helpful advice. After that it would only take a few long pex commands

Or hire an experienced dev for 1 hour for minimum wage and get them to figure it out, I mean im pretty sure $10 is pretty cheap to get a few thousand dollars in donations (or y'know atleast $160 from me)

 

Hell Id pay $10 to change the chat color. Easy.
