Better Chat V2 [Deprecated]

The documentation host won’t allow me to change the theme. Which is actually quite annoying, I’ll probably find a solution later.

As someone that rarely uses modules created by other people, I really found this really useful and handy for future projects. I really appreciate this open-sourced module, and I’m excited to see how I can customize this to make it more personalized :slight_smile:

One thing I wanted to ask: Is there any easy way to change the size of the chatbox without digging through root code? After looking through the settings module, I found that there is no way to customize the sizes of the chatbox.
I found the chatbox to be quite skinny, so I tweaked some code in the UI Initializer module but it still defaulted to the 0.26 X Scale which I presume happens because of the scale module?

Yes, the scale module controls the sizing of most of the UI. The code behind it is horrible though due to my non-experience with scaling. You should be able to increase it by changing the “offsetAmount” variable.

Fantastic. This is what roblox chat should be. Thanks! I will 100% be using this!

Great resource! I really dig the Discord feel to the entire thing. Just see what you can do about chat window customizations eventually, I’d like to be able to change the chat’s transparency. I give this resource an 8.7/10!

Wow. I really like this user interface on this UI and it has fantastic features from the look of it.

I possibly will use this in my games, though I’d have to change it quite a bit to fit nicely.

I would use this over normal chat, though I think EchoChat is better because your GUI is too small . EchoChat also images and has more features (too many).
Some features I would like to see:
Custom Chat Font (in like a settings menu)
Custom Chat Size (in like a settings menu)
Custom GUI Size (I think there is roblox option for this)
Player’s Avatar Headshot in chat

Glad to see you finally posted about this!
It’s like discord, but in your Roblox game. Very cool.

Could you upload the source to GitHub so others could contribute?

The only reason I won’t be using this is because my chat moderation script that I spent like five hours making won’t wok in it. Great UI though! I hope to be seeing this in games soon!

How does your moderation work? I can potentially make a plugin that’ll support it!

I don’t believe I could maintain a GitHub sadly. It’d be a lot of work to do both while pushing out a lot of updates, I’m quite inexperienced with it.

It goes through chat messages and looks for key words that are flagged and enough flagged words are in the message it will not be sent.

Very cool it would be great for games that have its community’s centered in Discord.

Is there currently a way to use Gradient text for the tags such as Owner or whatever, or a way to implement it ourselves in a plugin.

Not currently, but if people want it I’ll add it.
