Groups

Groups allow you to set different settings for people with certain permission, for example setting different chat format for your VIP players.

How to Use Groups

To create a new group, set Groups.Enabled to true in you settings.ym, and create new groups in the List key there according to the configuration options below.

In game, give your players "chatcontrol.group.{group}" permission (replace {group} with the name of the group) to put them into a certain group. Players may have multiple groups.

If you are an operator, give yourself the negative permission ("-chatcontrol.group.{group}") for yourself, otherwise you may be automatically applied to all groups.

The following example illustrates three groups: guest, vip and staff with various options.

Groups:
  List:    
    guest: 
      Channel_Limit: 1
      Message_Delay: 4
    vip: 
      Message_Delay: 1
    staff: 
      Message_Delay: 0
      Interactive_Format: Staff_Format
