Strange issue with betterchat

What color did you want it to turn into? It looks normal from the vid you shared. With the exception of the double ::

Theres no update needed i think. I didn´t have this problem. At first server/oxide update installed today?

Than check if there is an error in your data file.

If not try unloading other plugins that work with BetterChat.

Post your BetterChat Groups data json, (have you ran it through a validator ?)

No and I haven't touched the BetterChat data file for months, and everything was fine before the Dec forcewipe update. But here is the data file:

Take a look at the bottom. Brandiz switch to <color=#... for a short time.

Take a look at the bottom. Brandiz switch to <color=#... for a short time.

My bad , must be getting old, i missed it, i checked the file and it validates, so maybe another plugin ?

This is happening to me as well and peoples names above their heads are huge long betterchat titles.

This is happening to me as well and peoples names above their heads are huge long betterchat titles.

I solved it by downloading BetterChat and just replacing the BetterChat.cs :)

Yes I too am having this issue.  Except mine isnt just in the whos in the group list. Its also in the chat. I cant get it to stop showing the color codes and other titles in brackets. The only way to stop it is to hide the titles. Which defeats the purpose. Ive also notice the instructions on the main page are very wrong.

The documentation is really weird. It first tells you to set priority of admin to 0, then further down it says to set it to 1?

I cant get JUST player to show without showing PLAYER and ADMIN. No matter what it wont work for me, then it ends up showing the color as well (color codes)

This is from the page with documentation on it..
//////////

The lower the number, the higher the actual priority, meaning 0 > 1. As admin is currently our highest priority group, set it to 0, if there is a moderator group too, it'd most likely be set it to 1 there: chat group set admin priority 0

Now as the group was created you can add yourself to it. Some games as for example Rust which have admins and moderator levels already, automatically apply you to the "admin" or "moderator" group if you have that admin or moderator level.

To manually add yourself to the group, use: chat user add <name or ID> admin

Now as you are in the group, you can give yourself a nice looking title: chat group set admin title [Admin]

You can also change the color of the title, for example to red: chat group set admin titlecolor red

It's a nice red [Admin] now. The colors can be any HEX color code or a common color spelling.

The same with your name: chat group set admin namecolor red

To finish it, you should change the priority of the default group which was automatically generated before, to 1 to be a lower priority than admin: chat group set default priority 1
"

First says 0 is priort over 1, but then tells you down at the end to change it to 1.

//////////

The second issue is this command here 'chat group set admin namecolor red'

It doesnt work. After pulling my hair out and finally digging into the source code, its usernamecolor
'chat group set admin usernamecolor red'

Aparently somewhere it was updated but never documented.

Why is it showing either no tags if i hide one if not primary, or it shows both. but with the color code.



Merged post

I did find a half azzed way of getting it to go. But the one thing I want to see is if we can cut the time down to just standard 24 hour time, and add a 12 hour time too for those that dont get it. I have had some players who are younger and dont get 2220 is 10:20 pm. It would be a nice touch and shorten the length for time to be 2230  for 10:30pm, and the standard 10:30pm instead of a long time like currently is there.. Other than that this plugin is amazing and a wonderful addition.

I have been using BetterChat for 7+ years and have had hardly any problems, This is a copy of my config (which i have been told many many times is wrong as per priority numbers) and it works fine for me.

I do the editing manually in the data file with the plugin unloaded, then saved then reloaded.

Same, I do it in the data file by editing the plugin. Still have this bug with the player names above the head being long <color> codes and etc.
