Solved ChatColor and formats

I'm pretty sure it includes the formats.
You can read the Javadocs on it if you'd like.

 

I'm just going by the Javadocs but maybe if I could see the code you are using I'd be able to figure it out.

 

It does indeed strip/translate format codes. If it is not working for you show the relevant code.

 

No iea what you said but im just saying
String text = "&cHello There, &rnormal &9blue";
String new = ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes("&", text);

 

Wouldn't it be:

Code (Text):

String new = ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', text);

with single quotes around &..

 

Sorry my power went out <,<
Could you tell me what happens when you try to set the player's name? Does it only set the color or only the format?

 

Well I notice your never passing the nickname to the stripUnallowedCodes method here "setNick(args[0],player);"
Does this code output as expected?

Code (Text):

sender.sendMessage(ChatColor.GREEN + player.getName() + "'s nickname has been changed to "
    + ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', stripUnallowedCodes(args[0],player)));
 

 

Try reversing the order of the codes when you type out the nickname and see if it works.

 

Right, but I was just saying you're never stripping or translating the code from the nick here "setNick(args[0],player);" so that will never show anything other than the original string.

As for the other part I will test.

 

Got it sorry I am pretty tired.

 

Are you importing the correct ChatColor? There is a bungee and a bukkit one, you need to import the bukkit one.
