This overlay fixes that. It's a simple, modern and free chat system overlay for games. Inspired by the game that currently has the best chat system in the world, Overwatch.\n\n\n![Example](/preview.png)\n\n\n### Most game chat systems currently:   \n- Close on you for no reason   \n- Close when you're on the loading screen and no way to chat while the game is loading   \n- Close when you res-pawn   \n- Have a chat delay bug (I hate you Valorant)   \n\nOverwatch doesn't have these issues, and so doesn't this overlay.\n\n### Cons of using this overlay\n- Some games require you to sign a digital signature to allow full screen overlays (I hate you Valorant). This will require you to play games in borderless full screen mode which can add latency. I don't have the money to buy a signature.   \n- Only probably works on Windows (The superior OS).   \n\n### Features of this overlay\n- Command system\n- No filtering, reporting. You run your own chat server.\n- Custom key-bind to open chat\n- Press up or down to navigate through your messages (Just like a command prompt)\n\n### How to use\n- To open the chat, press the `Shift+Enter` key (Can be rebound).  \n- To send a message, press the `Enter` key.  \n- To close the chat, press the `Escape` or the `Shift+Enter` key.  \n\n### Commands\n- `/help` - Shows this help message.\n- `/version` - Shows the current app version.\n- `/username \u003cusername\u003e` - set username\n- `/color \u003cstring\u003e` - set color of your username\n- `/resetColor` - Reset your color to default.\n- `/setPos` - Set window position.\n- `/setX \u003cnumber\u003e` - Manually set X position\n- `/setY \u003cnumber\u003e` - Manually set Y position\n- `/resetPos` - Reset the X and Y position to default.\n- `/connect \u003cstring\u003e` - Connect to a specific server by the IP Address.\n- `/bindKey` - Bind a key to open the chat.\n- `/reset` - Reset all settings.\n- `/clear` - Clear the chat.\n- `/exit` - Exit the App.\n\n\n### Contribute\nContributing is most welcome 💖 Submit a PR and I will take a look.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fsupertigerdev%2Fbetter-in-game-chat","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fsupertigerdev%2Fbetter-in-game-chat","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fsupertigerdev%2Fbetter-in-game-chat/lists"}
