New Text Chat System
I updated FTF’s legacy text chat system to Roblox’s new TextChatService. This comes with a lot of new changes. I had to finish this update before the end of the month, because of a Roblox deadline. You can read about it here.
Roblox plans on removing older chat systems so I had to update. I didn’t want to miss the April or January deadline. So I decided to migrate FTF’s legacy chat to the new chat system before the end of this month. With a new system like this there were some parts I couldn’t fully test out. So I’ll be looking out for any issues with this new chat system.
- New text chat UI using TextChatService.
- Text chat channels for general, survivors, and whispers.
- PC players can press the alt key to switch text chat channels.
- New survivors only text chat channel for survivors in the game.
- On all text chat channels, players in the facility can not chat with players in the lobby and vice versa.
- Roblox automatically translated text chat messages.
- Emoji support in text chat messages.
- Lowered trading post music volume.
