Typing Modes

As you probably noticed when you're typing in the main tab ("Global") there is a few buttons next to the text input. The left button displays and allows you to choose what chat mode you are going to be using.

There are 4 default modes for EasyChat by default:

• "Say" mode, is the basic mode it allows you to talk with other players like with the default chat.
• "Team" mode, the basic team chat mode, functionality will differ depending on what the gamemode you're playing is.
• "Local" mode, allows you to talk to nearby players, you can change the distance at which players will be able to see your messages with easychat_local_msg_distance console command.
• "Console" mode, allows you type in your console from the chat.

Chat Tags

EasyChat comes in with "chat tags" these allow you to modify how your text looks like!

For example if you wanted rainbow text you could use the following text: <hsv=t()*300>Rainbow Text!. Typically chat tags are formatted like this: <tag_name=value1, value2, ...>. Some tags like the hsv tag can take "math expressions" as input, for a full list of the mathematical functions that can be used you can check this.

The list of all chat tags available in EasyChat can be found in settings -> chathud -> show help & examples. Alternatively you can also type easychat_hud_examples in your console.
