      Tired of writing to the team chat?
      Can't type that fast?
      Here is the solution of your problems! (or not)
      Better chat!
      2c8c9c10-cab0-4bdc-9fd4-8e2bc46ee2df-image.png

      Create your own phrases to quickly send them to the chat with only a few clicks!

      You can also make levels of tree to separate specific phases:

      Every new game mod creates tree with player names:

      Question mark will help you understand the functionality of mod

      Attention:

      • this mod does not replace your keybinds it uses its own ones
      • however it blocks input so you wont be able to give orders to units based on keybinds, so, you will have to close window
      • please report about any bugs, its important

      In the end:
      I hope community will help with promotion of the mod and its improvement, enjoy playing!

      Also, here is the list of upcoming features:

      • map ping with phrase - done
      • better system of blocking input - done
      • integrated emojis - ...

                    hi, pretty cool

                    little idea, in key bindings you can add shortcut to show better chat window, but the shortcut doesnt close it

                    I know ESC does it , but it would be better if the shortcut did

                    and when I start new game, the mod creates new three level called "player" on its own, have to delete every time, bit annyoing

                      @ikit kappa its a feature to easily address a player.
                      When you press keybind it doesn't close window because it was meanted so

                          Currently working on refactoring code and shadow mode: after some time window goes into shadow mode like chat does. Also options window coming.

                            Can you make the chat unclickable unless Enter was hit?

                              That is a nice feature 🙂 - chat is unclickable unless some message is visible (or you hit enter to chat yourself).

                              A work of art is never finished, merely abandoned
