Hiya!
I immediately went to work on a way to have the feel of the old chat on the somewhat new TextChatService whenever news came out that the old Legacy Chat was getting removed.
Features
- Works with the old way of making System Messages, Chat Tags, Name Colours and Chat Colours
- i think that’s the whole reason why i made it anyway
Things to work on
- Make scripts more tidy
- Make it into more ModuleScripts
Working on right now
- Whispers should show with the prefix "To "
- Make user continue to type in same channel
when using /c without the Channel Tabs
Please tell me if you find any bugs, or want anything to get added.
It might take me a while to respond.
If I take too long, I recommend you to try out this lad’s resource instead.
He made something very similar to what I did, scripted better, but with less features, at the same time as I was making this!
Installation
the roblox model got deleted, a new version will be released soon!
You can use the Packer plugin to unpack it, or do it manually.
If you have one, you can replace the default ChatSettings module with your own.
You can add client and server command you might have had in the Legacy Chat in their folders:
Note that not everything is supported yet. If you get an error with anything, it’s probably not supported.
Only channels you have added with the ChatService module will work with this.
This does not use the default channels created by Roblox.
In fact, you should uncheck these two properties in TextChatService or else Roblox might sometimes override the All channel with RBXGeneral and it will not work.
It should work with custom TextChatCommand as it is sending with TextChatService.
