Create a ModuleScript, add it to the Addons > Server with this code:
local teamService = game:GetService("Teams")
local players = game:GetService("Players")
local channelName = "Magical Channel" -- The channel's name
local whitelistedTeams = { -- A list of teams you want whitelisted for the specified channel
teamService.Alive
}
return function(api)
local channelModule = api.channel
local speakerModule = api.speaker
local channel = channelModule.new(channelName,false)
local processSpeaker = function(speaker)
if speaker.isPlayer then
local playerObject = speaker.player
local lastTeam;
local update = function()
if lastTeam ~= playerObject.Team then
if table.find(whitelistedTeams,playerObject.Team) then
speaker:addToChannel(channelName)
else
speaker:removeFromChannel(channelName)
end
lastTeam = playerObject.Team
end
end
local connection = playerObject:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Team"):Connect(update)
update()
playerObject.AncestryChanged:Once(function()
connection:Disconnect()
end)
end
end
speakerModule.speakerAdded:Connect(processSpeaker)
for _,speaker in pairs(speakerModule:getSpeakers()) do
task.spawn(processSpeaker,speaker)
end
end
Modify the channel name variable to your liking, and add the teams you want to have access to the channel, and now automatically it will add them to the channel if they’re in the specified team and remove them if they’re not.
Go to the source code,
client > modules > core > elements > chatbar
And scroll down to the very bottom at around line 461, and paste this:
userInput.InputBegan:Connect(function(input,gameProcessed)
if not gameProcessed and input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Return then
task.wait()
focusChatbar(true)
end
end)
However, to change the text for the chatbar, you will need to mess with Localization, which is in
client > modules > core > lists > localizationTable
between lines 249-267
It will look like this, but these are still the default values.
{
Key = "GameChat_ChatMain_ChatBarText",
Values = {
es = "Para chatear, haz clic aquí o pulsa la tecla \"/\".",
ja = "チャットするにはここをクリックするか 「 / 」 キーを押します。",
fr = "Pour discuter, cliquez ici ou sur la touche « / »",

["zh-cjv"] = "若要聊天，请点按此处或按下“/”键",
["zh-tw"] = "若要聊天，請按下此處或「/」鍵",
ru = "Чтобы общаться в чате, нажмите здесь или на клавишу «/»",
["zh-cn"] = "若要聊天，请点按此处或按下“/”键",

ko = "여기를 클릭하거나 \"/\" 키를 누른 후 채팅을 시작하세요",
["pt-br"] = "Para escrever clique aqui ou aperte a tecla \"/\"",

it = "Per chattare, clicca qui o premi il tasto \"/\""
}
},
Drag and drop this script into your game, and then save it as a local plugin by right clicking it. I would upload it to Roblox and allow you to install it there, but once again it has been flagged so it has to be done this way.
It has three options:
Toggle Auto-Update: When you open your game in studio, if it finds better chat, it’ll automatically replace the code and place it where it was before if you moved it to a different location after you forked it
Install: Installs the chat system, but it will not disable the default chat, you will need to follow forum instructions for that. Plugins do not have the capability of doing that.
Overwrite: This will just overwrite any currently existing code with the most up-to-date version.
hi, I have a modded version of your chat. Do you have a github repo that we can follow commits and do the same to our versions? We would like to include those bug fixes to our versions without: inspecting all files or opening a different repo
hey, can you update it so you can actually change font with the config? roblox is removing the gotham font and all of your code uses the gotham font, and roblox auto replaces the font with a different font called “Monsterrat”. I checked your code and changing the fonts in the config doesnt really do anything, so I have to manually search each module script in the mainmodule and change the font because it doesnt get the font from the config, its just sets the font to gotham ssm.
i was thinking that maybe the background colors of the chat could be configurable
like you can see in robloxs normal chat the chatbar is black and the background thats a little transparent is darker than betterchats. also yes monsterrat is deprecated because its something to do with the new “Builder” font, they deprecated it but you can still use it in ui like text labels and stuff, while you cant use gotham. heres a post you can look into to see that they are replacing gotham with builder: Introducing Builder Font + Deprecating Gotham and Arial because of this when i try to use betterchat all the fonts are monsterrat
It should be if you have it installed in your game already, it will search for the TopbarPlusReference value in ReplicatedStorage, so I would likely recommend making sure you have a PlayerScript that will instantly load it so it won’t try to load the V2 mod that it has. If it does not work, let me know and I can make an update for you.
