PEX/Chatmanager not Working Properly with new permission group.

[DeanUK]

Hi.

I'm having some problems with chatmanager and pex. I've setup my permissions and chatmanager to how I want. The prefixes etc work perfectly except for one rank: Addict for which the formatting of chat messes up. Instead of normal colours and prefixes I get the default minecraft chat formatting with yellow mixed in there too.

Server log error (when I talk) http://pastebin.com/GxW6rUW3

ChatManager Config: http://pastebin.com/AuUTBEVe

Permissions File: http://pastebin.com/BBrDvBN2

Thank you for your help :)

I see your mistake; on the permissions for all these groups you added an extra "-". For example; " - -friskstick.use" Should say: "- friskstick.use" That's all I noticed, there could be more errors. I suggest you run this through a YAML Parser. Regards, Nykolas

@rockloudly123 That's permission negation, not a mistake...

@rockloudly123 I thought that @zml2008 was right, but checked to see if it would work. But it didn't, so he was xD :[

I am fairly sure this is some sort of Bukkit bug -- it's due to the chat format string being changed, somebody else reported it as a TownyChat issue. I'll mention it to the Bukkit folks, but for future reference ChatManager is no longer maintained, so you should switch to another chat management plugin.

[zml2008]

Actually, it looks like it's happening because of the %o in your group prefix (after the [) - it's causing an issue with the way Bukkit's chat system works. Try removing that.

@zml2008 Ah! I meant to put &o! Lol, thanks for spotting that :)
