# Better In-Game Chat Overlay

Game chat systems suck. 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.

![Example](/preview.png)

### Most game chat systems currently:   

- Close on you for no reason   

- Close when you're on the loading screen and no way to chat while the game is loading   

- Close when you res-pawn   

- Have a chat delay bug (I hate you Valorant)   

Overwatch doesn't have these issues, and so doesn't this overlay.

### Cons of using this overlay

- 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.   

- Only probably works on Windows (The superior OS).   

### Features of this overlay

- Command system

- No filtering, reporting. You run your own chat server.

- Custom key-bind to open chat

- Press up or down to navigate through your messages (Just like a command prompt)

### How to use

- To open the chat, press the `Shift+Enter` key (Can be rebound).  

- To send a message, press the `Enter` key.  

- To close the chat, press the `Escape` or the `Shift+Enter` key.  

### Commands

- `/help` - Shows this help message.

- `/version` - Shows the current app version.

- `/username ` - set username

- `/color ` - set color of your username

- `/resetColor` - Reset your color to default.

- `/setPos` - Set window position.

- `/setX ` - Manually set X position

- `/setY ` - Manually set Y position

- `/resetPos` - Reset the X and Y position to default.

- `/connect ` - Connect to a specific server by the IP Address.

- `/bindKey` - Bind a key to open the chat.

- `/reset` - Reset all settings.

- `/clear` - Clear the chat.
