ChatPlus
A BepInEx mod for On Together that makes the chat nicer to use: the time of every message, a much longer history that comes back after a lobby change and is saved to a file, and a chat window you can resize.
Features
- Message time in front of every message (and, optionally, of the game's notifications), in the format you like:
14:05,14:05:09,2:05 PM,[14:05]or any .NET time format. Its color and size can be changed. Messages from another day also show the date. - Longer history. The game keeps only 50 lines in the Global tab and 25 in Local; ChatPlus keeps 200 and 100 by default (up to 1000 each).
- History that survives a lobby change. Everything said during the game session is remembered: when you join a lobby (again), the chat shows the earlier messages, marked by an "earlier messages" line. Clicking an earlier message still opens the player's ID card. Players you ignore or muted stay hidden.
- History file. The session's chat is written to
BepInEx/ChatPlus/chat-history.tsv(opens in Excel, LibreOffice or any text editor). On the next game start it is moved tochat-history.previous.tsv, so the history lasts until the game is restarted. Optionally it can be kept across restarts, and readable daily logs (BepInEx/ChatPlus/logs/yyyy-MM-dd.txt) can be written too. - Resizable chat window. Drag the handle at the chat's top-right corner (it shows while the chat is active), or set the width and height in the settings. The frame, the message area and the input field follow; double-click the handle for the game's size. The text size can be changed separately.
- The chat stays where you put it, also after a lobby change or a restart.
- Mention highlight: messages with your name or your keywords are highlighted.
- Up / Down in the empty input field bring back the messages and commands you sent before.
- Right-click a message to copy its text.
- In-game settings window (F3 or
/chatplus); the same settings are in the mod manager's config editor, and edits made there apply while the game is running. - Client-side only: nothing is sent to other players. English and Russian interface (follows the game's language).

The previous game session's chat. |

Readable logs (only with DailyLogs). |
The files are outside BepInEx/config, so they are not included when you export or share a mod manager profile.
Notes
- Very large line limits make the chat slower: every line is a text object in the game's UI. To keep a long chat fast, lines scrolled out of view are not drawn, and the game's rebuild of all chat lines when the chat fades in or out is skipped unless the font outline really changed (it changes only in the desktop overlay modes).
- The size is in % of the game's chat window. The chat is kept on the screen: if a new size would make it stick out, it is moved.
- Works together with ChatSounds, LocalChatRange, CommandAPI / CommandTypeahead and AndrewLin's mods. ChatResizer (jaide) scales the same window; use one of the two.
