I have the permission of Dettles to update her tut, for those wondering First off, You may be wondering "whats hero chat"? Hero Chat allows us, the users to create channels. For example, John_Doe, the mayor of TownVille, may want a Channel for the residents. He Could create it, and even Password Protect it if he chooses to. He could even customize the color of the text! Sounds cool right?! Well, it is. you dont have to be a mayor to create channels, though, anyone can make them (until such a time the LA's Deem necessary to restrict it again). This is straight from the plugin developer's Bukkit page: Configurable chat channels Password protected channels Permissions based protections for almost every imaginable action Channel moderation (kicks, bans, mutes, etc.) Quick messaging (messaging another channel without changing your active channel) Private messaging (/msg or /tell) including persistent private conversations Simple integration with most chat tags from other plugins (eg. Towny, Factions) Regex-based message censorship So, you wanna create a channel? type in the chat bar: /ch create <channel_Name> <Nickname(optional)>. That creates the channel with the name and Nick you specified. /ch join <channel> joins the channel, where channel is the name of the channel you want to join. Want a password on said channel? /ch set <channel> password <password-goes_here> sets the password for the channel For Example: /ch set Test password 12345 would set the password for the Test channel to 12345, and unless someone knows the password, they cannot join. command to clear the password is supposed to be /ch set Test none, but that seems to set the PW to none, will look for a way to clear the PW. someone spamming the channel? someone being an UberDickMunch? to /ch kick Test <playername> and it will kick said player What abut a mute? /ch mute Test <playername> (so far only staff have that permission what about a join message to appear when someone joins the channel? /ch set <channel> join event (as of now, its an Lead Admin change) [default is on] /ch set <channel> hidden event (again, another Lead Admin change). In a private channel and want to quickly send a message without leaving channels? the <ch qm <channel> <message> will send it to said channel without leaving another. in a private channel and want to send a quick message to global chat? then /g <message> is the key! Want to add color? Type: /ch set <channel> color<color_1-9/A-F> Full list of colors are here http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Classic_server_protocol#Color_Codes for example: /ch set Test color &2 turns the text into Dark Green /ch set Test color &E turns the text into Yellow want to tell someone something, but dont want to blast in it global? /tell natbyte hey boss would send the server owner a private message with the text 'hey boss' with purple text or /msg natbyte Love the server does the same so no real difference there, but still useful for any amounts of reasons tell can be replied to by using /r and /msg can be replied to by using /reply. not certain but Im sure the /r and /reply would work on either one, and vice-versa /whisper is similar, but just has grey text. useful for when you need to contact someone without making a new thread I have spent a mixture of about 2 hours writing this, as I was switching back and forth between here and various tabs, and MC. those are the commands that I could figure out, and believe me I will constantly keep trying to find more and update as needed. I hoep this helps some people figure out what they need, and as always, need anything message me on here or in game!
/m and /msg can be replied to by doing /reply <msg> as for /tell you can reply to it by doing /r <msg>. Also you can do /tell Natbyte *enter* and you'll make a new conversation with him. It is essentially a private channel that no one else can join and that goes away when you do /ch g, or whatever. Im not sure if it works with /m or /msg, but there are some more commands that arent up there
