Version 3.7.7 Change Log:

Hello everyone,

This version just fixes a compatibility issue with the newest version of DeluxeTags. Due to their API change in their most recent update, if you update DeluxeTags, chat manager will throw errors in console and won't work properly. This version fixes that issue, but with a small catch (Read Below).

WARNING
Due to the API change of DeluxeTags, to update to this version of chat manager you are REQUIRED to update DeluxeTags as well, if you don't update DeluxeTags and if you're using chat managers placeholder {deluxetag_tag} to show tags, nothing will show up.

If you're not using DeluxeTags on your server, this update won't effect you.

Thank you!
If anyone has any problems, questions, or concerns please join our Community Discord Server and I'll assist you there.

This is the same update as posted an hour ago, just that one had a bug in it that I fixed in this version. Didn't want to make a new version so keeping it as this one.

Version 3.7.6 Change Log:

Bug Fix:

Version 3.7.5 Change Log:

Hello everyone, this version adds some changes to the way color codes and formats are coded into the plugin. For a while now I've been getting reports of players being able to use color codes in chat even if they don't have permission set. This version has been available in discord for a while, and has been tested by a lot of people. Some people still experience the issue, but a lot more no longer experience this issue with this update. If anyone is having problems with it please join our discord server and report any issues there.

Discord Updates:
Recently I've added some changes to discord that I would like to announce real quick. We recently added a new system where you can chose to add yourself to a specific role or roles (Server Announcements, Plugin Updates, & Community Updates). We are now using this system to tag people on subjects they want to be tagged for. We moved away from tagging everyone and this system is working out nicely so far. If you wish to be apart of it you can join our Discord Server and to go the #roles section and chose which role or roles you'd like to be apart of.

I also decided that everyone in the discord server is going to get early access to most plugin updates. This means any changes I add to Chat Manager will first be released on discord to help with bug hunting and testing of any new features or bug fixes. If you'd like to be apart of this feel free to join our Discord Server for early access to most plugin updates.

Alright, now for the change log...

Added:

• As previously mentioned before I added a new system to color codes and formats for chat. This system adds an option for you to disable the feature all together in the config, as well as set permissions to players to be able to only use specific color codes in chat.

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed a bug where when players use ':' in chat it will no longer trigger anti-advertising.
• Fixed a bug where there won't be as many false positives when players use periods '.' or commas ',' in chat. That's only with Increase_Sensitivity set to false.
• Fixed a bug where the MOTD message could send out twice. Rare bug but is fixed.

Config Changes:
Add this under the command spy section in the config...
New Permissions:
These are all the new permissions for all color codes and formats in chat.

Version 3.7.4 Change Log:

Hello everyone, this version fixes a few bugs that have been reported to me the last couple weeks. If anyone is still having any issues please let me know in Discord and I'll assist you there.

PSA:
Color codes have been fixed in this update, but there are compatibility issues with other plugins that cause players to still be able to use them. One plugin that I am aware of that was brought to my attention last night is Multiverse. Multiverse has the option in the config "prefixchat: true", set that option to false and see if that fixes your issue.

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed the bug where players can use color codes in chat even if they don't have permission.
• Fixed a bug where /chatradius would throw errors on 1.17 servers.
• Fixed a bug where /reply would throw errors on 1.17 servers.

If anyone has any problems, questions, or concerns please join our Community Discord Server and I'll assist you there.

Version 3.7.3 Change Log:

Hello everyone, this update mainly focuses on bug fixes. Please note that there is still a bug I'm trying to fix, just unsure why its happening at this time. For some reason chat colors chose to either work or not work at all on some servers, even with/without permissions. I'm unsure why this is happening at this time but I am working on a fix for it, so please be patient.
If anyone find any other bugs please join our discord server and I'll assist you there. Discord will get you the fastest assistance.

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed a bug where when using % in chat it would cause the chat format to not work and send errors in console.
  
• Fixed a bug where /clearchat wasn't working.
• Fixed a bug where join messages wont work properly.
• Fixed a bug where you couldn't set the message for the command delay.

Removed:

• Removed the command /chatmanager preview.
• Removed the command /clearchat -s

If anyone has any problems, questions, or concerns please send me a private message!

Hello everyone, this version adds more support for 1.17, a new command, and a couple bug fixes. If anyone finds any problems please join or discord server and let me know!

Added:

• Added more stability for 1.17. Title messages now work for First Join, Join and Mention messages.
• Added a new command, /togglementions, permission chatmanager.toggle.mentions.
  
  • This command allows users to toggle the mention notification on or off to silent mention notifications for users that don't want to be bothered with it.

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed a bug where when you disable execute command for signs the command will still be executed.
• Fixed a bug where logging for anti swear chat didn't work properly.

Permission Changes:

• Changed the permission to toggle chat from chatmanager.togglechat to chatmanager.toggle.chat

Version 3.7.1 Change Log:

If you are updating your plugin from any version before 3.7.0 please read the 89th update log. Its EXTREMELY important and you must read it!!!

Hello everyone, with the release of 1.17 there are going to be issues, to limit the amount of reports I have received about 1.17 issues I'm going to release this update that contains temporary fixes for 1.17. Any version that's 1.16.5 or below won't be effected by these temporary fixes.

I would appreciate any other reports that are related to 1.17 so I can work on adding a fix for that version. Thank you.

Temporary Fixes:

• On 1.17 versions chat managers help commands won't send as Hover Messages to limit errors in console as well as allow users to execute all help commands.
• On 1.17 versions title messages won't send to limit errors in console.
• on 1.17 versions hover messages won't work for private messages to limit errors in console.

Added:

• Added an option to add highlight the players name when mentioned. Right now its currently bugged and wont send the format color to the last part of the message, this feature was added to the last version of chat manager by accident and I forgot about it in the final release. It will work properly tho if you add a color code in chat manually.
  
• Added more tab complete options for the anti curse command. Before not everything was added.

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed a bug where /ping doesn't work on 1.17.

Config Changes:
Add this to the mentions section of the config under Tag_Symbol...

Like I said before, this version contains mostly temporary fixes for 1.17 versions, these bugs will be fixed in a later version when I have more time to fix them.

Version 3.7.0 Change Log:

Hello everyone, I'm back! Sorry for the lack of updates in the last 8 months, Chat Manager was pretty steady and contained very minimal amount of bugs and didn't need any major changes. Before I add the change log for this update I have a few announcements to give everyone. Please read it if you can. Thank you.

First off, thank you for 80,000 DOWNLOADS!!! Were not exactly there yet but we are so close. I am shocked for how big this plugin has become in the last year alone! Thank you everyone for using this plugin and giving it so much love, it means so much for me

Okay, so, this version is big, like really big. It adds a lot of new features that have been highly requested over the last year or so, so I hope everyone will enjoy it. If anyone finds any bugs please let me know in discord. There you will get the best and fastest support and bugs will be fixed much faster that way.

I would like to thank everyone in our discord server that has tested this version of Chat Manager. I released FOUR beta versions in discord and received no complaints about anything wrong with it.

1.17 is supported, but not fully. So far the only thing that doesn't work is help commands, that'll be fixed in a later update. Any other 1.17 issues will only be fixed if they are reported, so please report any issues you receive on 1.17 ASAP!

PLEASE READ: Finally, in the coming updates, after bug fixes and what not, I am going to be removing some features from the plugin. I'm releasing this version first so everyone that wants to have all the currently available features can have them in this update. The features that I will be removing are features that I don't really like and rarely give support for anymore. Features like JSON for private messages and Chat Bot. Those two are the features I am planning on removing with the possibility of more.

This version has a lot of file changes that required for you to add to the configuration files. So please read everything and add everything. Sorry for this, auto updating isn't a thing yet, so this is the only way for me to add more features to the plugin.

Added:

• 1.17 Support
• Added rule pages. Give you access to do /rules [1,2,3 etc etc to infinity].
• Added the permission chatmanager.mention. This permission will allow players to send mention notifications to other players.
• Added the feature to mention everyone. Mention tag is Tag Symbol + everyone. Permission: Chatmanager.mention.everyone.
  
• You can make the boss bar in the auto broadcast time be permanent my making the bar time -1. The bar will stay and the message will change at its normal interval.
• Updated chat radius to add override symbols for local and world chat. This way you can use those symbols to talk in local and world chat.
• Added an option to block the message that's sent in chat if it contains a swear word, so if its set to false the message will still be sent in chat and everything else will work the same.
• I recoded the anti advertising feature a bit, make the code more organized and added more checks for dot and d0t.
• Added group worlds for per world chat. A highly requested feature. This feature allows users to group world chats together so players can talk to other players that are in the same group of worlds.
• Added an option so you can send multiple commands while punishing players for swearing/advertising/unicode/banned commands.
  • How to use: By default it looks like this...
    
  • Executed_Command: kick {player} Please do not swear
    
  • You can still use that format if you want, but if you want to format it to use multiple commands format it like this...
    Executed_Command:
    - smite {player}
    - bc {player} do not swear in chat
    - etc
    - etc to infinity
• Added new PlaceholderAPI placeholders to chat manager.
  • %chatmanager_toggle_pm%
    
  • %chatmanager_toggle_chat%
    
  • %chatmanager_command_spy%
    
  • %chatmanager_social_spy%
    
  • %chatmanager_mute_chat%
    
  • %chatmanager_staff_chat%
    
  • %chatmanager_ping%
    
  • Everything but ping returns "Enabled" or "Disabled"
• Added per group Welcome, Join, Actionbar, and Title messages, as well as per group leave messages.
  • Added an option to add sounds when players join/leave the server.
  • Added an option where you can change the time that the title message stays up for

Removed:

• Removed the rules.yml file and added the rules to the config.yml.
• Remove a couple sections from the clear chat section of the config.

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed actionbar messages not being sent on 1.16 versions.
• Fixed a small issue with anti unicode where only lowercase words were being checked by the whitelist

Configuration Changes:
Please update your files to the following, or make a backup of them and delete them and have them regenerate with everything new.

To make sure you have everything, do /cm debug all in console, that'll tell you if you are missing anything in your files.

Remove this from the clear chat section of the config.

Replace the Chat Radius section in the config to this...

Add this section to the config.yml under the server_name section...

Add this to the Anti Swear section of the config.

Replace the per world chat section in the config to this...

And finally replace the Messages section in the config to this...

EDIT: This feature is bugged and I forgot about it so I didn't add it to the change log.
Add this under tag symbol in the mentions section of the config.
This feature is bugged because the chat color wont change back to the color it was before in chat. So I would recommend keeping it blank till its fixed. Thank you

Thank you very much for reading this change log. I'm sorry if its a lot but it is worth it. If anyone is having any issues please join our discord server here. Finally, I would really appreciate a five star rating for this amazing update.

Version 3.6.6 Change Log:

Added 1.16 support, read what has been changed down below.

This version does not have support for Hex Code YET!

To add support for 1.16 I had to remove all action bar messages on servers that run 1.16 (older versions wont be effected). Hover Messages for help commands and private message will now work just fine (previously wouldn't). This version has been in beta for a couple weeks in our discord server, and so far I had no complaints about any bugs on 1.16 servers, any previous bugs has been fixed.

Thank you everyone for being patient for this update, I will work on adding everything back that is currently disabled, but for now please let me know of any other bugs that may be occurring in this version of chat manager. Feel free to DM me any problems, but for the best support please feel free to join our discord server! We're always ready to help you there!

Version 3.6.5 Change Log:

Hello everyone, thank you being patient for this update, I know I haven't been updating this plugin as much as I would like to but please understand that I am busy in my personal life and don't have much time to code.

I would like to add before anything that the chat radius feature is in BETA. I am aware that it isn't perfect, I don't need everyone telling me the small issue with it where the '!' doesn't make the prefix global right away. Please be patient with this feature as it does work, but may have some issues players may not like.

Thank you for almost 50,000 DOWNLOADS!!!

Added:

• Added an option in the config for global override symbol. This configured symbol will allow players to talk in global chat without typing any commands and stay in global chat after using the symbol. Permission: chatmanager.chatradius.global.override
  
• Added an option in the config for them mention symbol where you can change how the mentioning works by either adding a symbol like @(player} or nothing at all and players will still be mentioned.
• Added whitelisted commands for the anti advertising command feature. These commands won't be blocked if someone advertises in them.
• Added a whitelisted words section in the bannedwords.yml file. Let me explain this... This feature only works if Increase Sensitivity is enabled for the anti swear checks (Chat, Commands, & Signs). If you see a false positive that happens often for a word that isn't a banned word, but the anti swear detects it due to the increase sensitivity, you can add that word in the whitelisted section and that word will no longer trigger the anti swear causing a false positive.
• Added ways for the chat bot to detect just one word in a message to be triggered. Example: I add the word crates as a trigger word and any message that contains crates will activate the chat bot.
  
• Added a bypass permission so players can send private messages to players that are AFK. chatmanager.bypass.afk
  
• Added placeholders for ASkyBlock (Untested since I don't have a skyblock server)
  • {askyblock_island_name} - Shows the islands name.
  • {askyblock_island_level} - Shows the islands level.
  • {askyblock_island_count} - Shows how many players are a member on the island.

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed a bug where the JSON private message was not working on v1.8.8.
• Fixed a bug where private messages won’t work on 1.7.10.
• Fixed a bug where players with the correct permission couldn't message players that were vanished.

Configuration Changes:

Add this to the end of your bannedwords.yml file...

Add this under the AntiAdvertising.Commands section in your config.yml

Add this under the ChatRadius.Global_Chat_Prefix in your config.yml

Add this in the mentions section of the config.yml

If you join our discord server support is 100X faster thanks to my wonderful staff team! as well as everyone else that helps anyone that requests it! You can join join our discord server here.

Version 3.6.1 Change Log:

I temporary fixed the bug with the commands /list and /staff are not being able to be used in console or else it will send errors. I fixed this by not letting the command be executed via console. This is a TEMPORARY fix!!! I did this cause of all the reports of it and I don't have the time right now to fully fix it. If I have time tonight I'll worry about it, but till I have time this is the best you get.

Version 3.6.0 Change Log:

Hello everyone! I know I haven't updated Chat Manager in a long time, I am sorry about that. I've just been very busy in my personal life and haven't been worrying about coding for a while. I recently just got a new full time job, so my schedule is kinda full now for the entire week. I'm not going to promise any updates, for now on I'm going to be just sending updates with bug fixes, and additional smaller features here and there, larger features will take me a bit longer to complete so there won't be many updates with those for the time being. I am sorry about this but I'm just trying to get my life in shape right now. So for right now please enjoy this update, I've been coding it for a while so there maybe some stuff I missed in the change log, but I hope y'all enjoy it!

Replace the ENTIRE chat radius section in the config.yml with this…

Add this to the messages.yml file on line 110, under banned command messages and above clear chat messages…

Remove these in the mute chat section…

In the messages.yml file replace the autobroadcast section with this...

Happy Easter everyone!

I fixed a small bug where error messages would be sent in console when players do something to enable the notify staff message.
I am also aware that the I messed up the last update and didn't change the version in the plugin.yml (yet I swear I did) which caused the update checker to send messages to you when you joined the server, and the wrong version would be sent in some commands, that will no longer happen with this version.

Version 3.3.1 Change Log:

Sorry I haven't posted an update in a while again, I haven't forgotten about this plugin, I've just been working on other projects with my free time, as well as working on a huge update for chat manager that will add a ton more features, but there isn't an ETA on when that will be done, so please be patient.

For now on till the next big update is done I'll only be posting bug fixes to chat manager.
Thank you for 8k and now 9k downloads! We are so close to that 10k milestone and I didn't expect to see this plugin get so many downloads so soon and I am very grateful for that! Thank you for your support!

This is just a small update to fix a bug where if you have any other factions plugins on your server besides MassiveCore Factions the console will send out errors when players said anything in chat. This version has only been tested with FactionsUUID, I know this can happen with FactionsOne but it is untested but it should work since the problem was fixed with FactionsUUID.

Version 3.3.0 Change Log:

Hello everyone, I took another small break from coding since I got a new job and I haven't had much time to code lately.

I know its very late but thank you all for 7,000 downloads (Now 7.5k downloads)! I'm going to be working this much till around New Years so please don't expect a lot of updates till 2019! Till then the only updates I'll be posting will be bug fixes, so if anyone finds a bug feel free to let me know.

Added:

• Added an option to clear players chat upon joining the server.
• Added a new placeholder for chat format, {radius}, if chat radius is enabled, and if you use this placeholder, it can show if players are in local or global chat. The local and global chat prefixes can be customized in the config.

Version 3.2.1 Change Log:

Added:

• I added more support for v1.8 minecraft servers.
  
• Lately I've been getting reports of errors in console due to the JSON format in the help commands, so if your minecraft server is v1.8 and do any of the help commands, they will now send in normal format, and not the JSON format. This will stop errors in console.
• Players with a v1.8 minecraft server will automatically have join titles and actionbar messages disabled to prevent errors in console, and the command /chatmanager preview cannot be executed.
• If your server is v1.8.8 and up these changes wont effect you.
• Added an Increase_Sensitivity option to the banned commands feature. If enabled the feature will be more sensitive. Example: If you block the command /gamemode players wont be able to type/ execute the commands /gamemode survival, /gamemode creative, etc.

Config Changes:
Add this to line 248 in the config.yml, right under Enable: in the Banned_Commands section...

Version 3.2.0 Change Log:

This update has no new features added, this update has a lot of changes in the code. I recoded a lot of the commands and changed a lot with how the commands run. I tested this update a lot and found no problems, but if anyone finds any bugs, or receives any errors in console please let me know asap! Thank you very much for 6,000 downloads, it means a lot to me, more updates coming soon!!

Added:
I added some small things to the code to prevent errors in console, and to help new people that are adding the plugin to their server. As of now, if you don't have vault on your server there will no longer be errors in your console, upon startup chat manager will send this message in console...
"[ChatManager] Vault is required to use chat manager... disabling plugin."
Chat manager will be disabled if you don't have vault on your server.

Removed:
I removed the PlaceholderAPI dependency, as of now you do not need PlaceholderAPI on your server to use chat manager. PlaceholderAPI can still be used the same way as it was before this update, but as of right now you wont receive any errors in console if you don't have PlaceholderAPI on your server.

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed a bug where /announcement and /warning not working correctly.

Version 3.1.1 Change Log:

Hello everyone, I took a small break from coding since v3.1.0 was a pretty stable version with close to no bugs. I'm going to try and start posting updates about once a week unless there is a bug that needs to be fixed right away.

Added:

• /ToggleChat command, Permission: chatmanager.togglechat
• When this command is executed, the person that executes the command wont receive any chat messages sent by other players.
• The player that executes the command can send messages in chat, and will be able to see his/ her own messages, but wont be able to see anyone else's sent in chat.

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed a small typo in my code which caused first join title messages to not be sent, which caused some errors in console.
• There could be other bug fixes I addressed, but forgot which bugs they were since I worked on the plugin a few weeks ago and I completely forgot what I changed.

I also cleaned up a lot of the code with the /message and /reply commands, if there are any bugs with those commands please let me know.

File Changes:
Please add this to line 170 in your messages.yml file, under staff chat messages...

Code (Text):

#=================================================================================================#
# ToggleChat Messages
#=================================================================================================#
Toggle_Chat:
  Enabled: "{Prefix} &aToggle chat has been enabled, you will no longer receive chat messages."
  Disabled: "{Prefix} &cToggle chat has been disabled, you will start receiving chat messages."

I have added support for the latest 1.13 build. 1.13 pre-7 is no longer supported!

Added:

• I have added a chat bot feature, when a player asks something in chat, the chat bot can respond with an answer.
  • ChatBot can execute commands upon answering a question.
  • ChatBot can be activated with a specific permission, if the player doesn't have the correct permission the bot will respond with its set "No_Permission" message.
  • ChatBot has a custom prefix.
  • A sound can be played when the bot responds to a player.
• Added a new file called ChatBot.yml where you can setup the chatbot feature easily.
• Added an advertising increase sensitivity boolean in the config, if enabled the checker for the advertising feature will be stronger, but can cause false positives.
• Added a blacklist for commands that won’t be logged in the Commands.txt file.

This file will generate by itself once you restart your server.

Fixed:

• Fixed a bug where if you set the chat cooldown and/ or command cooldown to ‘0’, nothing will be blocked like swearing, advertising, etc, it will tell the players not to swear in chat and notify staff, but their message will be sent in chat.
• Fixed up the anti advertising checker.
• Fixed up the anti-bot feature.
• Fixed up some performance issues:
  • When players swear in chat two or more times in a row they won’t get sent the three messages “Do not swear in chat”, “Do not repeat the same message” & “Please wait {time} before sending another message”. As of now it will only send one message which is “Do not swear in chat”
  • When a player is spamming a repetitive message they will no longer get the two messages “Do not repeat the same message” & “Please wait {time} before sending another message” at the same time.
  • The same thing has been done with AntiAdvertising, AntiBot, BannedCommands, and Mute Chat.

Config Changes:

Add this to line 32 in the config.yml (In Anti-Advertising under Enable)

Add this to line 262 in the config.yml (Right under the Log_Commands: boolean)

Hello everyone, I have changed up the config and replaced everything that had %player_name% to {Player}. A lot of people have been wondering why placeholders weren't working on their server, so people don't get confused, I replaced all the PlaceHolderAPI placeholders in the config to the plugins current placeholders. PlaceHolderAPI is still supported and you can still use it, so you do not need to edit the config at all!

Fixed:
Fixed a little problem where when you disable staff chat nothing happens, and staff chat can still be used. I have made it so when a player does /staffchat or /staffchat <message> they get the message "Staff chat is currently disabled and cannot be used at this time!"

I have fixed some typos in the config.yml, as well as added/ removed some comments in the config. I have also changed the default format for the MOTD.

The updated version of the config.yml and motd.yml will be on the resource page!

You do not have to delete the config.yml for this update to work, you wont have any problems if you don't delete the config.yml!

The reason is because some players didn't download the expansion "Player" from PlaceHolderAPI, making the chatformat not work.
I changed the default "Name: %player_name%" in the config to "Name: {player}" so this wont happen to other players, you do not need to edit it, you can if you want, or you can do "/papi ecloud download Player" and then you wont get the error anymore.

Improved the code

Added the current version of Papi to the build path.

Made it so you cant PM yourself
Add this to line 125 in the config.yml
If anyone has any suggestions please PM me!

You can now do /staffchat <Message>
Meaning you don't have to enable staff chat to send a message
Cleaned up some code

Small bug fixes
Fixed a small typo
Cleaned up code

Bug Fix:
Fixed grammar check so it auto corrects in a capital letter and a period

Added:
Added a lot of support for Staff Chat where if you didn't give your staff members bypass permissions they can...
Swear in Staff Chat
Repeat the same messages in staff chat
and no grammar correction in staff chat

I did this cause in staff chat you can swear in it, and it will send, and you will get the msg please don't swear in chat, i figured it would be nicer to just bypass it in staff chat then get spammed the msg.

added an new aliases to /commandspy (/cmdspy)
added an new aliases to /staffchat (/schat)
Improved code
