Renders images, audio players, and video players directly inside the chat message area. - **Inline emojis**: Uses `` syntax (e.g. ``) and a mapping from `owo.json` to display square emoji images. - **Flexible upload modes**: - **Auto mode (default)**: If the server supports media uploads, files go directly to the server.

Other clients fetch the bytes via server packets and render them. - **Rich command system**: Upload from folder, picker, or clipboard; adjust volumes, limits, manual reveal toggles, and plugin management (FFmpeg, APNG). - **High‑definition rendering**: Uses supersampling and proper texture scaling to keep previews sharp at any GUI scale or window size. - **ChatImage compatibility mode**: Can send images using the `]` format for compatibility with ChatImage. #### Commands (Client‑side, `/chatupgrade …`) - `send`, `sendaudio`, `sendvideo` – Send a URL as a media payload. - `upload folder|pick|paste` – Upload and send image from local path/file picker/clipboard. - `uploadaudio`, `uploadvideo` – Same for audio or video files. - `config …` – Change upload mode, manual reveal, volumes, size limits, smooth scroll, etc. - `plugin status|load|download` – Manage FFmpeg and APNG plugins (auto‑downloaded on first use). #### Configuration File: `config/chat-upgrade/chat-upgrade.json` Options include: `ciCompatibility`, `manualImageReveal`, `audioVolumePercent`, `maxReceiveBytes`, `uploadMode`, and more.
