(NEW) Logging System Recalling a previous staff conversation can be extremely useful. That's why staff chat messages can now be logged in ChatWithStaff's new staff chat log file, a server's log file, and a server's console - seamlessly. (NEW) staff_chat_log.txt By default, all staff chat messages will be logged to ChatWithStaff's staff_chat_log.txt file. (NEW) Console Log All staff chat messages by default are logged to console and a server's log file. (NEW) {date_and_time} Inserting the {date_and_time} placeholder into one of ChatWithStaff's config.yml values will return the current date and time on your server's system. You can see the appearance of this placeholder in the Notepad screenshot 2 pictures above. (UPDATE) config.yml ChatWithStaff's config.yml file has been reworked by removing the "Format" option and adding in 5 new options. Code (Text): # How staff chat messages appear in chat. Format_For_Chat: '{prefix} {display_name}: &b{message}' Code (Text): # How staff chat messages appear in console. Format_For_Console: '{player_name}: {message}' Code (Text): # How staff chat messages appear in the staff_chat_log.txt file. Format_For_File: '{date_and_time} {player_name}: {message}' Code (Text): # Can staff chat messages be logged to console and a server's log? Log_To_Console: true Code (Text): # Can staff chat messages be logged to staff_chat_log.txt file? Log_To_File: true This update was inspired by a fantastic ChatWithStaff user: @night_triumph! -The Jessible Team

(FIX) /staffchatlist · {staff} placeholder no longer shows when there are no staff members online upon executing the "/staffchatlist" command. The word "None" will replace the placeholder if there is no staff online. (Issue #1) (FIX) messages.yml · A blank/white space no longer shows in Prefix when it is set to be empty. (Issue #2) Always improving ChatWithStaff! -Jesse

(NEW) Source Release ChatWithStaff is now open-sourced under the GNU General Public License v3.0. You may now contribute to ChatWithStaff and watch its development on GitHub. Great stuff happening! -The Jessible Team

(UPDATE) messages.yml The old Conjunction and Verb messages have been removed and replaced by Verb-1 and Verb-2. Also, List's {conjunction|verb} placeholder has been changed to {verb}; although the old placeholder will still work. Code (Text): Verb-1: is Code (Text): Verb-2: are Code (Text): - '&fThere {verb} &b{amount} &fstaff member{s} viewing staff chat:' Just a quick grammar fix; good thing ChatWithStaff changed its version numbering system! -The Jessible Team

(NEW) /staffchatlist · Shortcut(s): /scl · Permission: chatwithstaff.staffchatlist · Console-supported: Yes To see all staff members viewing staff chat, execute the "/staffchatlist" command. The staff chat list is very dynamic upon each execution. Not only does the showed amount and names of online staff update, but the verb, "is," changes to the conjunction, "are," to make a proper sentence when 2 or more staff members are online (also changes when there are 0 staff members online). (UPDATE) Version Numbering System ChatWithStaff adapted to a new version numbering system. Instead of its old vx.x.x, it now uses vx.x.x.x in order to take into account bug fix updates. · First x - Major update · Second x - Accumulation of minor updates · Third x - Minor updates · Fourth x - Bug fix updates (UPDATE) /chatwithstaff The link in /chatwithstaff changed from Jessible's profile page to ChatWithStaff's resource page. A shortcut has been added, as well: /cws (UPDATE) /chatwithstaff reload · A shortcut has been added: /cws reload (UPDATE) /chatwithstaff help · A shortcut has been added: /cws help (UPDATE) /staffchat <message> · One inefficiency was spotted when searching through ChatWithStaff's code. The inefficiency has been removed and replaced with a more efficient method. (UPDATE) Color Changes ChatWithStaff's prefix has been changed from light blue to light green to match with its new modern look. Because of the change, messages that had words colored in light green has been changed to light blue to keep the prefix color exclusive. (UPDATE) messages.yml With three new messages added, ChatWithStaff just got even more configurable. Code (Text): # Conjunction to use in List. Conjunction: are Code (Text): # Verb to use in List. Verb: is Code (Text): # Shows amount of staff members viewing staff chat and their names. # {conjunction|verb} - Uses either Conjunction or Verb defined earlier to avoid an improper sentence. List: - '&fThere {conjunction|verb} &b{amount} &fstaff member{s} viewing staff chat:' - '&b{staff}' There is also a new message added to Help: Code (Text): - '&b/staffchatlist &f- Shows all staff members viewing staff chat.' Notes If you have been using ChatWithStaff v1.0.0, you will not get the newly added message to Help or receive the new color changes. But you will get the Conjunction, Verb, and List messages. That's all for ChatWithStaff v1.0.1.0! -The Jessible Team
