A complete overhaul to SocialChat v1! This resource was created and is currently maintained by @Cosmental.

Introduction 💡

Welcome to your next innovation! Social Chat aims to maximize interactivity by replacing Roblox's default Chat System in exchange for added features, extension support, developer usage, and more!

Or... alternatively, you may install SocialChat here!

Features ✨

👀 Here are a few notable features:

• Extension Support for developers to innovate their own contributions!
• A custom Control Panel for users to customize their experience in your games!
• Consistent performance with an average of <~0.001% script usage! (results may vary based on user-devices)

...and more!

FAQ ❔

Q: Where is the Emoji support?

A: Social Chat v1 previously integrated Emoji support by default. However, this is not longer the case and developers are expected to install Emojipedia in order to regain access to this feature! This is solely done to keep Social-Chat as general as possible.

Q: I have a bug report! How can I reach you?

A: You can report bug reports here or you may join our support server! Please note that you must be 13+ to join our Discord Community. This is a rule with NO EXCEPTIONS.

Q: Where can I find documentation?

A: Currently (as of 4/12/2023), there is no official documentation of this resource. However, you can find useful material on the official DevForum post!

Developer Notes 📜

I once again appreciate all the support that Social Chat has recieved! I would love to see what creations you innovate with Social Chat! (tag me on Twitter if you do!) If you have any additional feature requests or bug reports, feel free to reach me on discord at Cos#5658 or create a new issue here (issues are more likely to be seen than direct messages)

Crediting is prefered but not required! However, you are not allowed to sell this resource as your own OR remove the SocialChat branding found within the system itself. This is my only method of growing my brand and doing so will harm my goals which prevents me from creating more FREE content on Roblox.

social-chat-v2's Issues

Mobile TextBox support (not currently supported due to RichText issues)

SocialChat v2 Overhaul TODO

Content Rebuilding:

• Bubble Chat
• RichText ChatFrame
• "/e {emote}" support
• Role Colors, Names, & Icons

General Updates:

• "Servers are experiencing delays" message
• ChatBubble overhead when typing a new message
• SocialChat Default UX (notification sound when a new PRIVATE message appears, chat visibility with button & fading when idle, etc.)
• SocialChat Configurations (eg. Chat Size, TextSize, etc.)
• Extension Builder (must include: Permissions handler to cancel out/change anything in SocialChat, Integration logic to prevent errors, and ensure stability with error feedback)

General Improvements:

• RichText multi-layer support
• Offset Sizing -> Scale Sizing to support screen size changes
• Build support for custom UI changes to SocialChat (this includes a custom debugger)

Extensions:

• Emojipedia: An extension that independently inserts Twemoji into your SocialChat build! You may add your own Emojis along with support for gif emojis!
• Rocord: An extension that simulates Discord with SocialChat! Rocord adds new markdown syntaxing for spoilers and username mentions! You can also add reactions to messages, get user details (who they are, icons, etc.), check what time messages were created, and adds additional API integration objects for SocialChat! (these include: MessageObjects, InteractionObjects, and AnimationObjects!)
• Autofiller: An extension that provides autofill simulation into SocialChat! (this is useful for good admin command UX)

API:

• ChatService.ProcessMessage = function(messageObject : metaTable) (allows developers to dynamically accept/reject message requests from clients) [SERVER ONLY]
• Markup Developer tools for unique richText markdowns! (based on module configs) [eg. the word ex gets highlighted in rgb(255,40,95)]

a bug in the chat input field

There is a bug in the chat input field. If it is on the PC, I cannot see what I have inputted or what I have inputted. After inputting something, I need to hold down the mouse and select the entire box (similar to selecting content before copying text) to display it normally

Bugs

• Channel Bug where messages overflow into one line due to channel history trying to keep up (create multiple scrolling frames instead)
• Channels would not subscribe/unsubscribe everyone in the server
• Private Messages deemed unfunctional when PM-Channels setting is enabled

Use something else than developer products for donations

Currently Social Chat V2 uses developer products for donations. MarketplaceService:PromptProductPurchase

Developer products are only available for the current game. Meaning you can't donate from games outside of the game.
