Hello Everyone, In this thread I will be teaching How to setup HeroChat. If you have any questions, suggestions, or confusion, feel free to send me a message or post on this thread! Chapters: Getting the plugins we need Installing the plugin Setting up Channels Setting permissions Chapter 1, Getting the plugins we need You need the following plugins for HeroChat HeroChat: http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/herochat/ Vault: http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/vault/ You have to be running of PermissionsEX, bPerms, GroupManager, PermissionsBukkit, zPermissions, or SimplyPerms for your permissions. Chapter 2, Installing the plugin Once you have downloaded Vault & HeroChat, just drag them into your plugins folder and reload your server. Chapter 3, Setting up Channels Go onto your server and type "/ch create <channel>" For example "/ch create Staff". Once you have done that it will automatically set the default settings for creating a new channel. Now all you have to do is go into your Plugins Folder --> HeroChat --> Channels --> Staff.yml or <channelname>.yml. Once you are inside one of the configs, you can customize the channel how you want. You can change the color, if you want a password ( which will not be needed if you use permissions for the channel(s) ), what you want the display message to be… Chapter 4, Setting Permissions Here are a list of permissions for HeroChat from the Official HeroChat Dev Bukkit Page.

Micro5 - Vault/Herochat support much more than just PEX, in fact a server can use any permission system they want with Herochat just fine, including the built-in bukkit permissions (if configured through the permissions.yml).
you don't say how to do this, but I think the next biggest thing people ask about is prefixes/suffixes etc. For them to work people need a compatible plugin with Chat Node support (PEX, bPerms, iChat, mChatSuite, etc), and to setup prefixes/suffixes/color nodes inside of that plugin too.
