I miss onChatMessageReceived()... We have a ClientChatReceivedEvent, can we get one server-side?

Injected a hook myself to get my mod fully updated, but I still think we need this event added.

FML has one for ml compact. Check a recent fml

Hi there, I've been trying to find some what tohandle chat as well. Would you be willing to explain how you injected your own handler? Nothing that I've tried has come close to working.

 

Thanks for your time!

It's quite simple actually. Create a class that implements IChatListener.

 

public class ChatHandler implements IChatListener 
{
public Packet3Chat serverChat(NetHandler handler, Packet3Chat message) 
{
	//handle server chat
}

public Packet3Chat clientChat(NetHandler handler, Packet3Chat message) 
{
	//handle client chat
}
}

 

Register it like this in your Init method:

NetworkRegistry.instance().registerChatListener(new ChatHandler());

 

That's a chat listener, not a handler. So, I can modify the result of all chat (i.e., change all bad words to !@#$%^&) but I can't handle who receives the chat message. The chat message goes to everyone. Packet3Chat can't be cancelled either, so the listener must return something. I'm looking for a handler hook, so that I can have complete control over how a chat message is actually delivered.

 

I hope that helps make the destinction...

If you return an empty packet on clientside, it will not show the chat.
