Features of Rust Chat

Custom Chat Commands:

• Enable server owners to define and utilize custom commands within the in-game chat.
• Examples include:
  • /pop: Display server population, including the number of players online and in queue.
  • /help: Provide assistance information or direct players to external resources.
• Customizable responses can be configured through the plugin’s settings.

Group Prefix System:

• Assign group-based prefixes such as [Staff] or [VIP] with customizable colors and display priorities.
• Prefixes distinguish different user groups in chat, making it easy for players to identify user roles.
• Players can toggle their prefixes on or off using dedicated chat commands for flexibility.

Tag Handling and Caching:

• Players can enable or disable tags (e.g., group prefixes) using chat commands like /tag.
• Caches player tag status for optimized performance and quick retrieval.
• Configurable caching option allows server administrators to toggle this feature.

Mute Management:

• Administrators can mute players using the /mute command with a specified duration and reason.
• Example usage: /mute Skippy 10m Spam to mute a player for 10 minutes.
• Mutes are time-bound and automatically expire or can be manually removed with the /unmute command.
• Muted players are informed about their mute duration and reason through chat notifications.
• Persistent storage of mute data ensures that mutes are retained across server restarts.
  Data Management and Persistence:
  • Player tag preferences and mute data are stored persistently using the Oxide Data File System.
  • Data is automatically loaded upon initialization and saved whenever changes occur.
  • Ensures continuity and data accuracy across server restarts.

  Configurable Options:

  • Customizable default values, including display name colors, local chat range, and group prefix settings.
  • Enable or disable specific features, such as tag caching, through simple configuration edits.
  • Customizable messages for chat responses and notifications.

  Player Notifications:

  • Notify players about important chat events, such as when they are muted or unmuted.
  • Inform players of enabled and disabled tags using chat commands.
  • Broadcast chat messages with group prefixes for better clarity and role identification.

  Localization Support:

  • Customizable language messages allow server owners to tailor the plugin’s output based on server language preferences.
  • Messages can be easily localized for different languages.

  Chat Logging:

  • Logs all chat messages, including player details, channel, content, and timestamp.
