(Broken) No Global Chat - realistic comms only

Description
NOTE: Currently broken
It can't stop messages sent via terminal global chat anymore.
Please vote on the bugreport for them to fix it: https://support.keenswh.com/spaceengineers/pc/topic/1-189-041modapi-messageentered-does-not-detect-messages-sent-by-terminal-global-chat

This mod disables the normal global chat, leaving the realistic antenna-based Comms as the only means of communication.
Useful for realism/hardcore servers.

It won't block commands from other mods and it also won't block chat messages sent from the dedicated server console (if you have the necessary plugins to do that).

No, there's no way to override whatever one wants, keen needs to include the comms thing into the event or add another one for that part in the API.

One alternative is to prevent comms tab from being used entirely by closing the window (I'm not entirely sure we can close it tho, I know we can open, maybe it can swap tabs), which kinda defeats the purpose of the mod anyway xD

But also there's that /f and whatever else chat modes that are being blocked along with everything, because we also don't have any sort of way to tell which channel one is... especially as the event does NOT trigger when someone types /f and such X_X

Is it not possible to make a new override to accommodate the new update?

It is very sad to see so many good ideas being constantly broken ...
VOTED!

The intention for this is to disable global chat, not to force you to use terminal because that's pretty inconvenient for no reason xD

The game now (v189) has chat commands to switch the chat to faction or wisper (see F1 -> Chat) so you don't have to use the terminal... but I dunno if it still requires antennas.

It seems the feedback site topic has confirmed something that I was curious about, but never bothered to look in to; whether this simply disallows the use of the normal 'Enter>Type' chat and forces you to use the terminal, and it seems that it does.
Would it be possible to send any message typed in to the global chatbox through the comms system, to make things more natural to use?

Oh, and do the messages sent through comms show up in the global chatbox? That would be pretty neat if it doesn't already.

Well I also reported the issue, I linked it in the description.

Then there's nothing I can do if they simply ignore the API.

You could use/make a plugin or torch plugin to intercept the messages, there's no site I know of that explains vanilla plugins but I do have a link for torch: https://torchapi.net/
