# Better Chat

Complete replacement of the Trackmania in-game chat for [Openplanet](https://openplanet.dev/).

![](.github/screenshot.png)

# Features

Better Chat is better in a lot of ways, with features such as:

* Built-in emotes

* Easier to read names and club tags

* Right-clicking player names for options (spectate, Trackmania.io profile, block, etc.)

* Highlighting on @ mentions

* Custom chat commands

* Autocompletion for mentions, emotes, and commands

* Blocking & filtering

* Streamer mode to censor some bad stuff

# Server controller formatting

When a player with Better Chat connects to a server, the following command is automatically typed into chat:

	/chatformat json

You may choose to ignore this command, or handle it. Additionally, you should handle `/chatformat text` to reset it back to the default formatting.

When you handle the command and the format is set to json, every (chat) message you output to the chat, should be in a Json format prefixed with `CHAT_JSON:`. Below are some example lines.

	CHAT_JSON:{"login":"c5jutptORLinoaIUmVWscA","text":"I'm chatting w/o a nickname!"}

	CHAT_JSON:{"login":"c5jutptORLinoaIUmVWscA","nickname":"Nimz|Miss","text":"I'm chatting with a nickname!"}

	CHAT_JSON:{"text":"This is a system message."}

Additional parameters may be added to Better Chat's display if desired. [Please open an issue](https://github.com/codecat/tm-better-chat/issues/new) if you want Better Chat to display anything from a custom parameter inside of this Json object.

Currently, the following Json object values are handled:

* `login`: The user's login. Only required if this is a chat message from a player. When the login is not provided, it will be displayed as a system message.

* `text`: The text of the message. Required.

* `nickname`: The player's nickname, if set. This is optional.

* `clubtag`: The player's clubtag, if set. This is optional.
