I can see me in it.
This is nice.

[Nicepoint]

Cool

Does this load automatically when you join a server? If not, then you should probably make it so.

But nevertheless, this is fantastic!

...it's a client addon?

[Paperwork]

the chat font and size resets every time a server is joined or the options menu is opened until 'save' is pressed again.
the escape accelerator for the chat settings GUI isn't working for some reason.
there should be an option to remove <bitmap> tags.

tested on a clean installation with the same results.
please fix.

[77x5ghost2]

every settings except color resets when joining another server

other than that it's really amazing

[TheBlackParrot]

i have no idea what you guys are running into when it's resetting, but i'll try this out on a clean installation later

will add the <bitmap> removal option at some point

Yep, worth a download.

I do have some suggestions.

A hotkey to quickly toggle between showing the custom chat effects and showing the default chat would be nice.

If you havent already, add mod/moderator tags if it's possible from the client side. Most moderator add-ons I've seen use isMod or isModerator.

Also a separate chat box for deaths would be nice. Perhaps let players pick what position the chat boxes are, at the bottom left above the paint can stuff, at the top left, or at the top right next to the inventory.

What I'm going for is using the default chat location for death messages only and put chat above the paint can to try to replicate garry's mod or other source engine games/mods

Looks real cool though, gonna be downloading this and checking it out. How compatable is this when servers screw with the chat system in their own way?

is there a use case for this? if not i'll just add it when i feel like it

server addons would need to send data to clients over clientCmds or etc., it can't be done only on the client side

i don't know how possible this would be or if it'd be worth my time to code a whole extra chatbox from scratch

most servers just use messageClient if they're doing heavy modding of chat, it works fine. logging is the only thing that really takes a hit (unable to log BL_IDs).

looking into the reset issue now

EDIT: pretty sure it has to do with me only modifying BlockChatTextSize1Profile and not the other 9. it should be forced to 1 though and i'm guessing for ~**~whatever special reason~**~ the game is switching it back to something other than 1.
sigh

EDIT 2:

   function newChatText::setProfile(%this, %profile) {
      if(strstr(%profile.getName(), "BlockChatTextSize") != -1) {
         %profile = BlockChatTextSize1Profile;
      }

      parent::setProfile(%this, %profile);
   }

adding this to CustomChatPackage in client.cs will fix it. i hate doing it this way but i want to avoid any potential issue blockland will cause. (this only applies to the BlockChatTextSize profiles)

will be present in the next update
