Feature requests
List your feature requests here and I'll add them if they fit and are doable :)

Features that will be implemented (in no particular order):
- Cross-ARK Tribe/Ally and whispers.
- Bad word filtering.
- Tabbed chat. (may have to be limited to Global, Tribe, Ally and Local) with the option to keep it untabbed like it is.
- Ability to change chat background color and opacity.
- INI settings with override toggle in UI. (partially implemented)
- Optional message sound notification, possibly selectable for all messages, when name is mentioned or a list of words.

implemented:
- Timestamps. (optional)
- Fetch last 10 or so messages when logging on a server (nice for conversations when switching maps or dc/crash) (next version will have ini config GetOldMessagesNum=10 if set to 0 it will disable it)
- Periodically check for missed messages due to lagspike/death etc.
- INI settings for old/missed messages.

I've been looking for a mod that would enable some kind of "chat notification" sound or blip, as I tend to miss chat. I run a private server for my family and friends, and I would love a feature like that which could be enabled/disabled at will. Is this mod something that could implement an idea like that?

Great work here. Truly!

I added it to the list and will see when I have time to get back to modding (soon I hope).
Currently in the middle of a big rewrite of the mod to make it work better (working chat while dead etc.)

Thx for the suggestion and kind words!

Hey Steven, great Mod! Would not host a cluster without it!
I've got a small feature request:

Is it possible to make the 10 last global messages loaded upon serverconnect a variable?
So Admins can set them in GuS.ini between 0-10? Would be a charm and very much appreciated!

Second request is just a cosmetic one: why dont you add the very cool chat-evolved gfx as an icon for the ingame-buff? Alway wondered why there is an empty buff-background ingame and honestly your icon in the steam community description is very cool :)

Thank you in advance.
Sincerely

Hey, thx :)
I'll make a ini setting for it ^^
The buff "icon" we thought were from another mod, I don't see it in devkit so will re-make the buff and see if that fixes it.

Can very much be possible! Just read that Crosschat needs to be a buff to work properly, so my frist tought was that this "empty buff icon" i got on my servers were from your Mod. So ill do some actual testing and reach back to you.

I already rebuilt the buff as I had other changes I wanted to do with it, but we'll see when I update.The update should also hopefully be more reliable with sending messages cross-ark. ^^

Well, that was a quick reply!
I quickly tested it local on a win 10 machine and this empty buff icon indeed is from Chat Evolved! Also getting an error upon start: "Json error: Invalid Json Token. Line:1 Ch: 1"
Tested it on single player mode. Just added Chat Evolved to the used-Mods list, no ini-config was made. (But that same "empty buff icon" appears on my Linux server-cluster as well)

Screenshot here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2592909046
Json err msg is a non-ingame windows error message

The icon should hopefully be gone next update :)
The json error can happen if it receives invalid json from the webdis backend.
I did fix an issue with doublequotes in this next versjon, but if a discord bot for example sends invalid json there's not much I can do about that in the mod.

Hey there! Love the mod, and super looking forward to tabbed chat one day. It's something Ark's needed since day one. Keep on being amazing!
