I'm having issues with this too. I think it may be broken. I placed the files in my server files and this is my simple-chatcolors.cfg;
Code:

// How to edit this file:
// "admin_colors" <-- Leave this alone
// { <-- Add all groups/steamids after first bracket (Leave this alone)
//
// "STEAM_0:1:1234567" <-- Here is a steamid example with a tag (don't duplicate steamids)
// {
// "namecolor" "{T}" <-- This is the color for the name
// "textcolor" "{N}" <-- This is the color of the text
// }
//
// "groupname" <-- This can either be a steamid for a specific player, or a group name
// { <-- Open the group
// "flag" "z" <-- This is the flag(s) assoicated with the group. This field doesn't matter if the group name is a steamid
// "tag" "[admin]" <-- This is the text for the tag
// "tagcolor" "{G}" <-- This is the color for the tag
// "namecolor" "{G}" <-- This is the color for the name
// "textcolor" "{N}" <-- This is the color of the text
// } <-- Close the group
// } <-- Add all groups/steamids before last bracket (Leave this alone)
//
// NOTE:
// If you don't enter a steamid then the group name does not matter, it's just for your reference.
//
// For a better understanding of what these colors mean, how they work, and on what games, see this link:

// Thanks to everyone working on the smlib for the great .inc files!
//
// --------ORDER OF OPERATIONS--------
//
// The order in which you place items in the config file matters. Here is what determins what color they get:
// 1. SteamID
// If there is a steamid present, it will always override everything. If you put a steamid in twice
// then the first entry (top to bottom) will be used. (I think, just don't do it!)
// 2. Groups
// The plugin will search (top to bottom) for a postitive match for the flag string. The player' flags
// will be compared with the group flag string, and if the player has all the flags, it will stop there.
// For example. Admins with the "ad" flags and donators with the "a" flag. If you place the "a" flag group
// above the "d" group then the admin will get the "a" colors. Order matters.
// You can use more than 1 flag for the group. You could have made the admin group with the "ad" flag,
// but it will always take the first match.
//
// ---------DO NOT EDIT ABOVE THIS LINE---------
"admin_colors"
{
"STEAM_0:1:26190795"
{
"tag" "[Owner]"
"tagcolor" "{R}"
"namecolor" "{G}"
}
"Admins"
{
"flag" "z"
"tag" "[A]"
"tagcolor" "{R}"
"namecolor" "{G}"
}
"VIP"
{
"flag" "a"
"tag" "[VIP]"
"tagcolor" "{B}"
"namecolor" "{T}"
"textcolor" "{OG}"
}
}
That IS my Steam ID (I quadruple checked) - and I still get no tag at all, no colors, etc. Same for VIPs and admins.
Any idea?
Edit: Fixed, didn't realise I needed to install the simple chat processor plugin too.
