Vanilla Commands Overwriting ChatControl's Commands ​

Vanilla commands can override plugin commands when they share the same name (e.g. /tell). Fix this by overriding them in commands.yml or using command namespacing (/chatcontrol:msg etc).

Tip

ChatControl commands follow this syntax: /chatcontrol:Command, such as /chatcontrol:msg etc.

If you need help with other command issues, see common-issues with commands.

Step-by-Step Guide ​

Step 1. Find The Commands Namespacing ​

Open settings.yml and look at the command aliases. For example, the Private_Messages section and its command aliases:

yml
  # The tell command aliases.
  # EDIT AS YOU WISH BUT THERE MUST BE AT LEAST ONE ALIAS
  Tell_Aliases: [tell, w, m, t, pm, message, msg, whisper]

Based on these settings, the corresponding namespaced commands:

/chatcontrol:tell
/chatcontrol:w
/chatcontrol:m
/chatcontrol:t
/chatcontrol:pm
/chatcontrol:message
/chatcontrol:msg
/chatcontrol:whisper

Step 2. Open commands.yml File ​

Open commands.yml in your server root directory (same location as server.jar).

Step 3. Add Overrides ​

Add command aliases under aliases using the namespaced commands from Step 1.

Example of commands.yml setup based on the Private_Messages.Tell_Aliases settings in ChatControl:

yml
aliases:
  tell:
  - chatcontrol:tell $1-
  w:
  - chatcontrol:w $1-
  m:
  - chatcontrol:m $1-
  t:
  - chatcontrol:t $1-
  pm:
  - chatcontrol:pm $1-
  message:
  - chatcontrol:message $1-
  msg:
  - chatcontrol:msg $1-
  whisper:
  - chatcontrol:whisper $1-

Step 4. Restart The Server ​

Restart the server for changes to take effect.
