dsTitles

dsTitle


Description
Similar to DeluxeTags, players can set their own title. Titles can be associated with permissions, so you can change available titles per rank or player. Has database and placeholder support.

Features

• Create as many titles as you want. These titles can contain colors, styles etc.
  
  
• Players can set their own prefix and suffix (or reset it).
  
  
• Associate titles with permissions. Players can only set these titles if they if the right permissions. This can be used for rank dependant titles or as rewards.
  
  
• Prefixes and suffixes can be set seperatly, or only one of them Since 1.3.0
  
  
• Nametag support. Show the titles also in the tag above a players head! Since 1.2.0
  
  
• Ingame adding and editing of titles Since 1.4.0
  
  
• Supports YAML, H2, mySQL, Postgre and SQLite storage methods. Since 1.5.0
  
  
• It is possible to set a default prefix and/or suffix for ne players Since 1.5.0
  
  
• Can be used next to another chat plugin. Title can be inserted into existing chatformat (on the position of "[titleprefix]/[titlesuffix]"), this plugin can overwrite the chatformat or titles can simply be inserted before and after the playername. See the installation section for more info
  
  
• Like all my plugins, every single message (confirm messages, error messages etc) is fully configurable. Even the menu! So no longer these annoying pluginname tags or ugly colors.
  
  
• Registers Placeholders into PlaceholderAPI for dsTitle Suffixes/Prefixes. Use these in PlaceholderAPI by using %dsTitle_prefix% for prefix or %dsTitle_suffix% for suffix Since 1.5.3
  
  
• Registers PlaceHolders into mvdwPlaceholderAPI for dsTitle Suffixes/Prefixes. Use these in any mvdw plugin if you have mvdwPlaceholderAPI installed by using {dstitle_prefix} Since 1.5.3
  
  
• Ability to set a default prefix and default suffix (required now) Since 1.5.3
  
  
• Able to set prefix/suffix just by clicking on the prefix/suffix in the titles list (Json style messages) Since 1.5.3
  
  
• Ability to use Hex Colors in chatTag and description of titles. Use them like <#2AA8F2> and <gradient:#2AA8F2:#8BD448> Since 2.0.3
  
  
• Fixed a few bugs, including the invisible players still having their nametags shown when dsTitle is handling nametags Since 1.5.3
  
  
• Works with vault, so every big permission plugin is supported
  
  
• Possibility to automatically check for updates (but no auto update)

The config of these images can be found under 'Config' down below (it is both the 'vip' prefix and the 'vip' suffix).

Installation
Simply put the dsTitle.jar in the plugins folder of your Bukkit server

If you use a chat plugin next to dsTitles, there is a change you may need to change some config files. For some chat plugins, the changes are listed down here. If your plugin is not listed here, check first if it works without editing anything. If titles aren't displayed, try to add [titleprefix] and [titlesuffix] to the chatformat of the chat plugin. If this still doesnt work, try to change general.chat_format_player_tag in plugins/dsTitle/config.yml to the playername tag used in the chat plugin. If after all of this it still doesn't work, pm me. I don't check the comments daily, but if you send a pm i get an email.

No other chat plugin
No changes needed

HeroChat
Works for me without editing anything.

mChat
Two options:

1. Add [titleprefix] and [titlesuffix] to plugins/MChat/locale.yml: format.chat
   
   
2. Change general.chat_format_player_tag in plugins/dsTitle/config.yml to '+dn' or '+n' (depending on MChat config) and dont overwrite the chatformat

ChatManager (PermissionsEx)
Change general.use_deprecated_listener in plugins/dsTitle/config.yml to true Add [titleprefix] and [titlesuffix] to message-format in /plugins/ChatManager/config.yml

Config
There are two config files. config.yml contains the basic config. titleConfig.yml contains the titles a player can set. Permissions and commands can also be found in the plugin.yml. To see more information about these files, click on the links.

Here is an example of titleConfig.yml:

prefixes:
member:
chattag: '&3Member'
permission: 'title.member'
description: 'Title for members'
vip:
chattag: '&4&lVIP'
headtag: '&4&lVIP&r '
permission: 'title.vip'
description: 'Only for VIPs '
suffixes:
vip:
chattag: '&6KING'
headtag: '&8[&6K&8]'
permission: 'title.vip'
description: 'Only for VIPs '
This config creates two prefixes and one suffixes. Players can only set these titles if they have the corresponding permissions.

The result of the vip title can be found under 'Example'.

Known issues

• In the config.yml of plugins of version 1.1.2 or lower is a character (§) which some Linux systems don't accept. You can remove it by editing the jar or by updating to the latest version.
  
  
• It seems titles dont work with some chat plugins without overriding the chat format. Should be fixed in 1.3.0
