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?

any chance of this being fixed

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

Oh mans Keen~

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/

I've tested it in both a hosted game and a DS with other players on the whole opposite side of the map and saw messages, it's the full global chat feature just hidden behind the menu.

Sounds like the game is bypassing the API.
Are you seeing messages sent by other players or did you only test by yourself in MP?

So overall, the mod still allows global messages to be sent through the Global chat window in the Terminal's Comms menu. I checked your code to see how you handled it Digi, and I don't see an easy solution to that, any thoughts?

The problem is that it will probably disable the integrated chat with the discord.
Unless I had a shortcut (not boring command) to send global msg.
And the laser antenna would be right not to waste as much energy as it is for thousands of miles.

"Hello Teamspeak"

Yes, but only in the terminal menu

is it possible that the admin still can read if someone writes to th global chat and also write to the global chat?

Yeah, it is. I think it is also broadcast by beacons though, which led to a sorta awkward moment where my friends were hearing everything I was saying while I thought I was alone.
I was mostly doing it so they'd hear something when they got back, but it was also fun to just do it.

That was months ago, though, so they might have fixed/changed that.

Mods can't touch that, but I think VOIP is already limited to antennas or at least nearby range, I'm not sure =)

does this affect VOIP aswell?

Lol Thanks Digi!

Oh, it just didn't work for the host player, it worked fine for clients.
Fixed xD

Yes, I had the mod activated. I know how it works lol. I use at least 15 mods everytime I start a game.

Mods need to be added to worlds for them to work, being subscribed doesn't activate them, it only shows them in the mods list to pick for worlds.

@remethep I personally haven't seen the mod actually work. Everytime I play I actually use the "real com" based options. I mean, the last time I used it (only used 2 times idk why I'm still subscribed ) It didn't actually block or delete the chat. This is just my experience so if the mod does actually do it then, well, I haven't seen it do it.

Is this mod working as it should? I'm building a MP world, and would love to have it active.

I haven't seen any servers with this mod for my sadness( maybe one day...?

@Digi: is this still impossible as of right now? if so I really hope future mod API updates will fix that, it'd be amazing to be required to use antennas for your normal chatting needs on hardcore survival servers

can you make this mod rebind "enter" to "o" i know you can do it manualy but this would be perfect if the comms tab opend on enter, id use this then otherwise i just keep pressing enter never learning lol

Not really, I'd have to re-make the entire antenna chat system from the game as a mod because there's no way to interact with the one in the game, and you'd have 2 separate systems.

Sweet mod. Is there a way you could make it to where you can chat through normal global chat but would function like the antenna-based chat?

very nice mod there! :)

btw I have trouble on dedicated server not related to the mod, comms won't work through antenna relay for anyone.. did they breack it?

If you need a fast database you can use: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=551473621

Can you implement a feature/option that admins can use the global chat by using a kind of whisper function? And maybe even between normal players and admin?

Can you have the LCD grab the various chats? Could have some interesting applications.

awesome mod...know any servers that operate using this mod?

Will this mod allow me to disblae the chat in public servers?

What i want is the global chat to be like the Broadcast in Comms, so you dont have to go back and forth though menus to find that messsage and to reply

this is awesome! it makes the game even more realistic, i love seeing mods that make the game more relistic and hard, i would just love to build like, radio stations and outposts. this is awesome

also will it work with modded antennas for further range?

Can u make it so Admins can use global chat? So if i can send a messege out to everyone?

I see. Well that's better then nothing. Do you think you're capable of messing with the git repo to turn this mod into something more?

You'll need to use the GUI as I can't repurpose the global chat for that since there's no API for reading/sending antenna based messages yet xD

Also, antenna based messages are saved and sent when you're in range, it will state the status of the message, if sent or pending or whatever :P

Will this work with the normal chat menu? Can I basically play entirely normally but people out of range just dont see my messages?
or do I need to access the chat though the GUI?

Geeeeniuuus!
Now people will use antennas!

I am certain this will gain lots of traction with the community, honestly I don't understand why it isn't a feature that is toggle-able in the game options when setting up to launch a game/saved game

Well Done indeed!

YES!!! Finaly!!!! TYWM!!!

FanFRAKingTastic!

Great idea. I am always looking for stuff to add more depth!

This will add to the gameplay! cool!
