It’s a pretty well-known fact that BetterChat is in dire need of a rewrite to be brought into the modern age. Having to use 16 plugins to achieve fairly basic functionality is absolutely absurd and comes at quite a performance hit. It’s truly a shame so many are forced to use an outdated/abandoned plugin for something so essential/important.

Rewriting Better Chat itself doesn't really seem necessary but I get what you mean with needing 5-6 different plugins just for things like chat muting, voice muting, tags, etc. I have been planning something like a 'Better Chat Suite' plugin that combines all those utility features into one lightweight package
 
Lightweight and BetterChat are like antonyms, lol. Seems like there’s quite a bit of errors with BetterChat based on a quick glance at the uMod page. I don’t use it myself since it’s a mess.
 
But then what would we name it if I end up making it? I can't think of anything better than the existing name Better Chat 😆

Better Better Chat 😶
 
AdvancedChat. basically what it will be if you ask me.
Or. You go all in: ScrapChat 😂
And please i am all for this.

Chat commands start with a /, while console commands can be entered directly in the F1 console or server console. Use find <keyword> in console to search for available commands related to the plugin. Parameters in < > are required, while [ ] are optional.
This plugin uses Oxide's permission system. Grant or revoke permissions using oxide.grant and oxide.revoke. You can assign them to individual players or groups using their Steam id or group name.
Settings are stored in the config file found under the config/ directory. You can edit this file manually, then reload the plugin to apply your changes.
Persistent data is saved in the data/ directory. This includes things like saved settings, usage stats, or player progress depending on the plugin. Deleting a data file will reset stored progress or customizations.
Language files are located in the lang/ folder. To translate messages, copy the en.json file into your target language folder (e.g. fr, de) and edit the values. Reload the plugin after changes to apply new messages.
This section lists public methods exposed by the plugin for use in other plugins. You can call these via the CallHook method. Ensure the plugin is loaded before calling its API to avoid null reference errors.
These are custom hooks that other plugins can listen for. Simply define a method with the same name and expected parameters in your plugin to handle the event. Hooks are triggered at key moments and are useful for extending or reacting to plugin behavior.
These hooks are injected into the game's code using Harmony. They let the plugin run code at key points in the game's internal logic. You can return values to block or modify behavior. Use with caution — these are powerful and can affect core mechanics.
