[BUG] Illegal characters in chat

[ZorudaRinku]

When clicking on a players name (with default config) It suggests "/msg player " but you type something and hit send and you get kicked. Backspacing you can see it actually says "/msg player7r7r "

[LOOHP]

Which Minecraft version are you running?

[LOOHP]

Also which plugin is your /msg using?

[ZorudaRinku]

git-paper-224 (1.15.2) https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/chat-manager-1-7-1-15-with-30-features-and-40-commands.52245/

[LOOHP]

I can't seem to recreate the issue, can you send me your config? (despite you said it is the default, it is still worth taking a look.)

[ZorudaRinku]

Sure, I'm assuming at this point its a different plugin causing it like placeholderapi or something because the click command doesn't seem to look off...

Do you use any nicknames? Perhaps there are color codes in the player name placeholder?

[ZorudaRinku]

I do. Looks like thats the issue. If someone doesn't have a nickname it works fine. I'm using nicknamer at the moment. I guess I should replace it with %nicknamer_nickname%.

Ok just did but issue still arises. I guess I should go submit a ticket with them?

[LOOHP]

Perhaps you can check one more thing, try removing the placeholder and just use "/msg", see if there are any color code with that.

[ZorudaRinku]

Looks like when I do just /msg it works fine, so I'm guessing the error is in the nicknames plugin

[LOOHP]

Then you can try /papi parse %player_name% and see what it returns aswell, see if there are any color codes.

[ZorudaRinku]

Just returns all white "Zoruda" which is my nickname, not my playername. BUT this could be because nicknamer can replace player names with nicknames. So I'm worried thats the issue BUT ALSO I've disabled that feature and before and after disabling it they both said "Zoruda"

Here is the nicknamer config (first half of it, the rest is useless) # after the value shows what was enabled before it was disabled. Sorry if this is confusing. I'm trying to give you all the info I can haha

replace:
  chat:
    # Replace names in messages sent by players
    player: false #

    # Replaces names in ALL outgoing messages
    out: false #
    in:
      # Replace real names in incoming commands with the player's nickname
      command: false
      # Replace incoming command nicknames with the player's real name
      # (If multiple players use the same nickname, it will default to the first available player's real name)
      commandReverse: false #

      # Replace real names in general (non-command) incoming messages with the player's nickname
      general: false
      # Replace incoming nicknames with the player's real name
      # (If multiple players use the same nickname, it will default to the first available player's real name)
      generalReverse: false #

[LOOHP]

But since without a placeholderAPI placeholder or with another placeholder, the color codes are not present, then I suppose the color code is inside the player name placeholder provided by placeholderAPI. Perhaps you can try to use a placeholder that will return the player's actual name even if you have nicknames enabled?
