HyChatter - [NEW] Bubblechat feature is out to try in beta version!

[1.0.6]

Added

Join/leave messages
Configurable join and leave messages when players connect or disconnect.

• • Config (HyChatter.json5):
  • joinLeaveMessagesEnabled — enable/disable local join/leave messages (default: true).
  • joinMessageFormat, leaveMessageFormat — local message formats; placeholder {name} (player display name). Supports & color codes and TinyMessage.
  • joinLeaveMessagesForwardedEnabled — enable/disable forwarding join/leave to other servers (cross-server).
  • joinMessageFormatForwarded, leaveMessageFormatForwarded — forwarded formats; placeholders {name}, {server}.
  • When local join/leave is enabled, default in-game messages (e.g. “Player has joined default”) are suppressed so only HyChatter messages show.
  • Cross-server: join/leave can be forwarded to hub/spokes with the configured formats.

     

  • /hc swap command
    Toggle between HyChatter chat and default in-game chat in one command.

    • Usage: /hychatter swap or /hc swap
    • Permission: hychatter.command.swap
    • When in HyChatter mode (GLOBAL, REGION, PARTY, or custom channel), running swap switches to default in-game chat. When in default in-game chat, swap applies your HyChatter default (server + player settings).

Fixed

Outbound join/leave filter
The packet filter that suppresses default in-game join/leave messages now uses ServerMessage (outbound) instead of ChatMessage (inbound-only), and uses PacketFilter instead of PlayerPacketFilter, so join/leave suppression works correctly.

Join/leave toggles
Local join/leave messages and forwarded join/leave messages are now independent: you can enable one without the other (e.g. local only, or forwarded only).

Cross-server join/leave on HUB
When the HUB receives join/leave payloads from spokes, it now verifies peer authentication before routing or displaying them.Cross-server display
When displaying inbound messages to players, sendMessage is now wrapped in a per-player try/catch so one failing send does not prevent others from receiving the message.

Reworked

Join/leave packet handling
Join/leave suppression is implemented via an outbound packet filter that matches server join/leave messages by content/messageId and blocks them when HyChatter join/leave messages are enabled, so only HyChatter-formatted join/leave appear in chat.
