atm it prints [PLAYER] <playername> message for outgoing and incoming messages . In case you write with more then one player this can be confusing. Did I just send the message to player A or B? I don't know anymore.
So I think if its [FROM] <player> message it's clear that it is a direct message from that player.
If it's [TO <playername>] <localPlayer> message it should be clear that it is a direct message from the local player to another specific player. (maybe localPlayer is not relevant here).

For lower resolutions the font becomes really small. And for high resolution the chatbox becomes really big compared to the rest of the ui.

So I would use a bigger font-size for 1280x720 and all lower resolutions.
Then no scaling till 1920x1080.
And for every higher resolution its scaling again.

Also the chatbox height could be lower. atm it shows 8 messages at a time. I think 5-6 is enough.

So this would be like the vanilla chat size, just that it scales for resolutions above 1920x1080 again.

maybe instead of DirectPlayerMessage I can use 2 or more spaces. So the chatlogs from rcon tools don't look weird.
Also think about using Netevents for DirectMessages cuz of privacy. SquadLeaderMessages and AdminMessages will be logged. So there I can't use Netevents.

self.m_CollectedPlayers should remove players when they leave.

.\_"'$:-|[]<>!?
names the contain ' or " causing problems in direct messages.

Can't close the chat if I use the direct message channel and don't choose a player.

This would fix #19 and #20.

target = "spectator"

When joining a server when it's currently in the EOR screen, all chat messages, including the ones you send yourself, will be displayed double, one above the other.

@ .\_"'$:-|[]<>!? doesn't highlight the name for that player.

The new chat implementation is way higher then the old implementation. Could you make the height easily adjustable to not overlap other UI parts from other mods? Not only the amount of pixels but more the amount of messages to be displayed in total.

Using NetEvents broke the mute function of AdvancedRcon and BetterIngameAdmin. will look for a solution.

if playerRelation = "localPlayer" then the name should be white colored.

Hi,

it seems that you are currently not using UTF-8 and therefore german umlauts like ß, Ä, Ö, Ü, ä, ö, ü are not supported. Would be great if you could enhance the chat system :)
