A simple chat manager for your Minecraft server

RoyalChat - v0.0.8

Works with bPerms, PermsBukkit, P2/3, GroupManager, PEX, and more!

RoyalChat 0.2.0pre (rewritten again)

Channels are nicer, the config is cleaner, bugs are fixed. It's better. Grab it from here.

RoyalChat was created by myself (jkcclemens) as a simple way to manage the chat format on my server. We were previously using iChat, but the way it wanted to use permissions was too different and unsupported for me. With this in mind, I set out to create a functional chat plugin that followed in the footsteps of iChat, but uses its own code. Thus, RoyalChat was born.

RoyalChat uses suffixes, prefixes, and groups from your permissions to greatly simplify the amount of work you need to do with ranks. Unlike iChat (which has you edit another file with this information), all the data is pulled from any Vault-compatible permissions plugin. See the Permissions Example page for more information.

PermissionsEx, PermissionsBukkit (no real support), bPermissions, and GroupManager are all confirmed to be working. bPermissions support is only available in rChat v0.0.35 or above.

You can also use variables from Towny in RoyalChat (v0.0.4 or above). See Configuration for more information.

RoyalChat depends on Vault.

Commands

RoyalChat has a few commands (mainly since it's a chat formatter) that you can use.

Command Description Permission Node
/rchat Reloads the configuration file and displays the version number rchat.rchat
/me [status] Allows you to emote (e.g. "jkcclemens is hungry.") rchat.me
/say [message] Speaks as the console (configurable) rchat.say
/clear Clears the chat box rchat.clear
No Command Allows the user to use color in their messages rchat.color
/ch [channel] (password) Changes the channel you're in. rchat.channel

Permissions

RoyalChat implements Vault for Permissions. Any plugin supported by it is also supported by RoyalChat.

The permissions are listed above with the commands.

Features

I designed RoyalChat to encompass the features that I had wanted. There are just a few, but I'm open to suggestions.

  • Caps filter! Make messages with a customizable percentage in caps lowercase! e.g. "I HATE ALL OF YOU!" becomes "i hate all of you!" - There is a bypass permission node as well
  • @[user] - Highlights the [user] in aqua to make it clear who you're talking to (not private chat) e.g. "Hi jkcclemens" would highlight "jkcclemens" in aqua with an "@" in front of it
  • Spout support for user highlighting. Achievement notifications, and a text counter (bottom-left of screen) are configurable in the config.
  • /me can be formatted
  • &[hexcode] is fully supported
  • You can edit the chat format in the config (see Configuration)
  • Auto-capitalize messages (config option)
  • URL highlighting
  • Towny integration
  • % support
