Hello everyone,
Firstly, my apologies for the delayed responses to all your questions recently! It has been an extremely busy time for me finishing my university studies. However; I now have some more time, and I have updated the plugin to fix the issue that prevented it from working with Minecraft 1.14 (as far as I can tell).
This update also includes some other features I was working on before hand!
- Nickname max length configurable in spigot config (allows better compatibility with Minecraft 1.7 where there is a limit on display name length)
- Plugin messaging channels renamed to be 1.7 compatible
- Fixed an issue which prevented display names being fetched when not using Vault
- Plugin now works with Minecraft 1.14 API
- Server name for the %SERVER% placeholder must now be specified in the spigotconfig.yml. This is because 1.14 has removed the server-name option from the properties file!
- Added bstats metrics
So the long and short of this update is, MultiChat should now be compatible all the way from 1.7-1.14!
It is best to let MultiChat re-generate a new spgiotconfig.yml file to get all the new options. But otherwise you need to add the "server_name" field to configure this aspect of the plugin. The other new options in the spigotconfig.yml are "nickname_length_limit" (The maximum length for nicknames) which defaults to 20, and "nickname_length_limit_formatting" (Should formatting codes such as "&3" be counted in the length of the nickname?) which defaults to false.
I will update the wiki accordingly ASAP.
If you have any questions please let me know and I will get back to you ASAP. And if you have any issues with the plugin and have already reported them please know I will get to those too! I have been busy but am doing my best to catch up now!
As always thanks for using MultiChat!
