Text Chat

Text Chat

There is no text chat in Baldur's Gate 3. Which is weird. There should be. So I implemented it!

Version 2. 0 merges in a big round of RP-focused features and quality-of-life improvements from FonWasH's fork of this mod.

Features

Patch 8 compatible!

- Moveable!

- Resizeable!

- Compatible with Party Limit Begone and Adjustable Party Limit mods! (16 player multiplayer anyone?)

- Settings save on your local machine (so unique for each user and is persistent through different saves)!

- Semi-transparent (So you can still see the game when you're not actively using it)!

- Passes clicks through it so you're not always accidentally clicking the chat box!

- Emote support (`does a thing`), shown in its own color (note: Does not currently ACTUALLY make your character emote, but if any developers are willing to contribute to this, the help would be greatly appreciated!)

- Edit your last message (up-arrow, or a dedicated Edit button)

- Consecutive messages from the same character don't repeat the name

- 4 selectable chat display styles: Classic, Modern, Discord-like, and Roleplay-like

- Multi-line input (Ctrl+Enter for a line break), growing as needed

- Typing indicator ("X is typing...")

- Auto-hide after inactivity, fully configurable

- Rebindable "open chat" key with a simple "press any key" capture

- A proper in-game settings panel, docked left/right next to the chat window, depending on the position
