Retired ⚠️

This mod has been retired because it was implemented natively.

The mod adds a text ChatBox over the player's head, allowing them to send messages to each other via keyboard input. ChatBoxes of other players can be configured to display only from your friends (off by default), note that everyone will be able to see your ChatBoxes.

Features

  • Press Y or click the BTKUI button in the Misc section to bring the keyboard to send messages.
  • Heavily customizable via BKTUI settings menu in the Misc section.
  • Modify the notification sounds by replacing the .wav sound files at /UserData/Chatbox/ folder (next to the /Mods folder). Make sure the naming is the same.
  • Add a boolean to your animator of your avatar named ChatBox/Typing or #ChatBox/Typing (if you want it local). It will be set to true when you're writing a message (ChatBox keyboard opened), and false otherwise.
  • View the ChatBox History window via the BTKUI button in the Misc section.
  • Keep the ChatBox History window on the center of the QuickMenu or place it on the right.
  • Press Arrow up/Arrow down (keyboard) to iterate through the sent messages. You can also click Prev if you're in VR.
  • Press TAB (keyboard) or Auto in VR to attempt to auto-complete usernames.
  • Use @username to mention people in messages.
  • Bind a SteamVR controller button to opening the ChatBox keyboard. Requires VRBinding Mod
