This is a preview of my chat mod. Around 10 000 lines of code, a complete rewriting of the PZ chat with many feature. Any feedback about this feature?

holy shitt that's smooth

Damn bro
I've a few questions
Do you choose the avatar that pops up near your text?
sour elk
was about to ask exactly that
dawn fable
Gamer instinct 😂
woven steeple
the server owner can upload it in a directory, as username.png (or jpg)
it will be sent to every player through the network
dawn fable
So any image is possible? And it will be showcased to everyone else
dawn fable
It could look better a bit smaller imo
sour elk
the server owner can upload it in a directory, as `username.png` (or jpg)
can the players import avatars themselves?
dawn fable
can the players import avatars themselves?
They have to send it to the server owner ig
woven steeple
I plan of adding two more options for portraits: steam avatars and in character face
the admin will be able to choose between no portrait, steam avatar, custom portrait (like in the video) or 3D face
the user can choose to disable it entirely
dawn fable
Indirectly it could be moderated atleast
woven steeple
can the players import avatars themselves?
no, I think most RP servers would like to avoid that

That's a lot of work lol
dawn fable
no, I think most RP servers would like to avoid that
Better to leave it to the server admins
dawn fable
So how does it work
I've never used chat in zomboid, never played MP actually
So do you type in some text box like say in Minecraft and then it displays like that?
woven steeple
Yes, exactly
You can type in different channels : /say /low /whisper /yell /general /pm (private message) /safehouse /faction
My mod allows the admin to disable any channel
woven steeple
You get a random pitch depending on your gender but you can change it with /pitch
dawn fable
Cool

Vanilla portrait done

It's so pixelized
But that's the best we can get for Steam avatar, that's a PZ issue

Reminds me a bit of a TTS system we did on another game, great work
woven steeple
It took me ages to record those voices, there are 22 phonemes and I reprocessed them multiple times to improve the result.
I might add other type of voices eventually (not just pitch) but I need the motivation for that

It's fine

Let it get onto the store first
Let's see what feedback people have without being prompted to give feedback about any specific features
Then you decide what to do
woven steeple
Right now I'm doing a lot of testing
sour elk
Vanilla portrait done
this and the steam profile rocks hard
oh yeah, how would text rp action and whisper looks like in a chat bubble?

This mod looks pretty impressive. I wonder, does it work with long range communication? like, if I speak into a HAM radio or walkie talkie, will it replicate the effect when it throws my voice?
also, how does yelling factor in? do player shouts use the same effect as default speech or is it modified?

Oooh that's such a cool idea!
neat little thing if possible, could be GREAT for RP servers, you could see exactly who's talking through to you in rp when the text box appears over radio with their little icon xD

maybe weather interference could also hide the voice sounds
lethal yoke
Vanilla portrait done
this is sick
woven steeple
I reimplemented the entire radio system. So the voices are working as well, with a slightly different bubble style.
Right now you can't see the portrait of people talking through the radio. I did not think it would make sense since you are not supposed to know them.
The interference is the only thing I did not reimplement. Is it useful?
dawn fable
I don't think interference would be needed
