Patches an issue when storing player info with databases

Introduces support for MySQL and MariaDB.
This can be configured in the config.yml

This is a minor update, introducing a new permission: namecolor.nick.color

All players have this permission by default, however, when this perm is set to false, players will not be able to use colors/styles in their nicknames.

Thanks to Kerm for suggesting this feature.
As always, feel free to reach out to suggest any features or report bugs!

An issue was brought to my attention where names disappear when players re-log after setting name colors. This patch addresses the issue. As always, if you have any concerns or suggestions please feel free to contact me.

[+] Added a new permission, namecolor.set.style. This permission allows setting styles in nicknames, and is given to all players by default

[+] Added a update notifier that posts in console when new updates come out.

[+] Introduced a nickname blacklist, found in "blacklists.yml"

[+] Fixed an issue with blocking duplicate nicknames where color codes interfered with the plugin detecting them properly

[+] Updated the nickname length limiter to ignore HEX color codes, as prior it only ignored Bukkit codes

[+] Introduces a nickname length limit, the default is 16.
[+] Introduces an option to prohibit nicknames that are the same as another player's username.
[+] Introduces /nick reset which allows you to reset nicknames.

Other Updates:
I'm looking into modifying player name tags, and I've done some experimentation with it, though I'm yet to decide the final approach I'll take with it. It's going to be a long-term goal for this plugin, but I'm not prepared to provide any ETA at this time.
Another future goal is adding a GUI for the /namecolor command. This will likely come out before any name tag update.
I've done some more work on this plugin's website, available at https://wiicart.net/namecolor

[+] NameColors can now be customized to use different text styles.

Text styles:

• Bold
  
  
• Underline
  
  
• Italic
  
  
• Magic
  
  
• Strike
  

Any combination of these styles can be used with /namecolor, and to use these, the syntax

is /namecolor <color> <style1> <style2> …..

As before, add a player’s username to the end to change another player’s username.

[+] NameColor now has a /whois command.

Usage:

/whois <nickname>

This can be useful in determining who sent messages for moderation.

Permission: namecolor.whois

[+] Misc


Nickname permissions are now given to default players. This can easily be revoked using a

permissions system.


Some code cleanup was done.


Configuration files now auto-update. If you’re upgrading from any old version, config options

will be added to your config.yml


NameColor now has a website at wiicart.net/namecolor ! A detailed command maker for

both /namecolor and /nick are planned for the future.


Any questions? Contact me at @wiicart on Discord or through forums.

Many future updates are planned! Stay tuned!
