SuckChat is a chat manager for use with PermissionsEx. It integrates in all the features of existing chat plugins that don't suck, and then gets rid of all the features that do suck. In summary, it's a chat plugin that doesn't suck.

There are two ways to ensure that the things you want added to this plugin are added in a timely manner. One: Fill out a ticket with your suggestion or, two: throw money at me in the name of the project. I will not spend my time sorting through the comments or forums for suggestions when I could actually be working on things.

SuckChat has moved to BukkitDev

Note

• Interested in helping me continue development of this plugin? I know that a lot of people don't like usage tracking when installing or using plugins. in order for me to be able to know how my users are using the plugin, I need to see it... kinda simple, right? So if you want to pm me your server IPs, I promise I won't cause too much havoc for your server.
• Only tested and proven versions of suckchat are to be uploaded to bukkitdev. For developmental builds (tested on phantomcraft's own server) you may clone and compile from git at https://github.com/PhantomCraft/SuckChat

Support

• If you are in need of support, you can get it on bukkitdev.
• You can also find me idleing on #cosban at irc.rozznet.net

Nice

Keep in mind that it's literally the first build of it... so some things might be buggy

You mentioned chat colours twice in your features list

I know. It's an important feature.

Lol XD Does HeroChat really suck?

Fair enough

Pretty bold statement to say that all other suck. HeroChat is clearly superior.

@Cosban
1) [1597] OR [1.0.0-R1] are acceptable versions
2) The formatting could do with a bit of work, maybe condense it down so it is easy to read
3) A change log is needed

Maybe

Tag me when that is done.

HeroChat has it's perks, but it also has parts that suck. My goal is to implement features that don't suck, and to revise areas that do. I'm not opposed to people using the plugin, it just doesn't work for me.

Speaking of suckish things, your title tag needs fixing

That doesn't mean your plugin is better than all others. I'd rather use HeroChat, which most definitely doesn't suck.

While my title says that the other chat plugins suck, take it for what it's worth. I will stand by my comment when I say HeroChat has it's downsides, these downsides make it suck. If you want to use HeroChat, then use it and stop wasting your time in this thread. I've made this plugin for people that don't like the other chat plugins, these are people like myself.

Duly noted

HeroChat is quite possibly the second best chat plugin I have come across. We used it very briefly on our server, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good all around chat plugin. However, it was missing a few features that we found to be necessary for our server, and so Cosban made a chat plugin to accommodate us, and we think people will benefit from the fact that it is public.

@md_5
I guess that stuff is done, I guess.

@people that care
New update.

Approved

It would be great if this allowed you to color both your name and your prefix/suffix; or does it already do that?

You should be able to place standard color codes in your prefix and have them color your name also, depending on how you format the text.

This has potential, but I'll stick with HeroChat for now.

Wow.


Just plain awesome.

New build...
Changes

1. Added channel listening (Subscribing) (detail)
2. added muteip (detail)

I stopped using IChat because i upgraded from Perms 3 to PEX some time ago and decided it would be less of a nuisance to use the native Chat Manager that comes with PEX. Only thing I don't like too much about it is that it doesn't have support (that I know of) for Essentials Nicknames to take the place of user names in chat. I haven't been able to find a good plugin that allows this so I'm putting this out there as a suggestion. or if someone knows of a plugin (that's kept up to date) that allows this to let me know.

I could look into adding support for display names instead of regular names. I'd really like to see how many people actually want this feature before I do it though. Basically fill out a ticket there though -> http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/suckchat/create-ticket/

HeroChat is nice but my issues with it are.

On large worlds like ours (200K border) you run into local chat glitches.

1. Sometimes you are standing next to someone and in local chat it still says "Noone can hear you"

2. Certain distances you type in local chat and "everyone" can hear you

3. HeroChat just likes to up and break itself with "npe" events at times

If your chat plugin can do most of what Hero does and without these ridiculous distance bugs I would seriously
consider changing formats.

Our server runs on average of 60 to 100 members daily and it would need to be a plugin that can handle what we call "high tide" moments.

Thank you.

@PunJedi like many other features, I would definitely consider putting in a local chat (distance limiting I guess?) system. I just need to know how much demand for such a feature is out there. Basically fill out a ticket there though -> http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/suckchat/create-ticket/

I'm using mChat for a pretty long time now. What parts about this plugin suck in your opinion? And how is this plugin better? Just curious, perhaps you can convince me to use your plugin?

I used mChat briefly before I began work on SuckChat. Don't get me wrong, it is a good plugin for many kinds of servers. For mine though the plugin was rather bloated. Looking through the tickets of mChat, it seems that others have the same opinion of the issue as it "takes over everything". SuckChat does not do this. It's simply a chat plugin, which only controls aspects of chat while not messing with things that don't need to be messed with.

My chat plugin doesn't suck

*facedesks* You've either not read through all of the posts, or you've missed the point completely.

Ah right, yeah I've noticed that too but its not that big of an issue to me .
