I'm trying to set different colors for each prefix and each rank for my server [Eg. Pic 2], but since i redid my essentials they've all been the same [Eg. picture 1]
I'm trying to get owner in dark red (&4) and the name in light red (&c). So far, i've set the owner prefix to &4[OWNER] but only the group name shows up, not the prefix i set it to.
This is my current essentials chat list in my essentials>config.yml
# This section requires the EssentialsChat.jar to work.
chat:
# If EssentialsChat is installed, this will define how far a player's voice travels, in blocks. Set to 0 to make all chat global.
# Note that users with the "essentials.chat.spy" permission will hear everything, regardless of this setting.
# Users with essentials.chat.shout can override this by prefixing text with an exclamation mark (!)
# Users with essentials.chat.question can override this by prefixing text with a question mark (?)
# You can add command costs for shout/question by adding chat-shout and chat-question to the command costs section."
radius: 0
# Chat formatting can be done in two ways, you can either define a standard format for all chat.
# Or you can give a group specific chat format, to give some extra variation.
# For more information of chat formatting, check out the wiki: http://wiki.ess3.net/wiki/Chat_Formatting
# If you are using group formats make sure to remove the '#' to allow the setting to be read.
No, i don't want to install any other mods or plugins to do it. It worked before but now i don't know why it wont work. Is there anything i have to change in the format?
EssentialsChat and Pex use two different types of prefix's even though Pex requires a chat plugin (EssentialsChat). First it's probably just easier to use Pex for prefixes so the input for what you want it to be would be is prefix: '&f[&4Owner&f]&c ' then also go into your essentials config and make sure that you are not using a group-based format. Unless you want colored chat but that is a whole different thing.
