BetterChat
A mod that adds server-side formatting capabilities to the chat.
About this mod Author’s original text
What kind of formatting capabilities are you yapping about?
Upon starting the game with this mod and creating a lobby, you will see that any chat messages sent by players will now include the player's player number next to their name in parentheses.
To configure the formatting, you can head to the "BepInEx/config/lammas123.BetterChat.cfg" config file, and from there use the following default formatting options:
- USERNAME -> The player's username.
- PLAYER_NUMBER -> The player's unique number.
- CLIENT_ID -> The player's steam id/client id.
- LIVING -> Whether the player is alive or dead.
You can also change the text shown for the LIVING formatting type whether the player is alive or dead.
Other mods may also add more formats, such as PermissionGroups.
Limitations
Due to limitations, unless the player sending the message also has the mod, their messages won't be formatted on their end.
Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- Most mods rely on the game's mod loader — the usual route is a community mod manager (such as r2modman): pick this game, install, and it handles the loader and dependencies.
- For a manual install, put the mod files into the matching Mod / plugins folder inside the game directory.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; mods with listed dependencies need those installed as well.
Install locations vary a lot between mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
Install these first, or the mod will not work:
