LongChat

LongChat lets V Rising players send longer chat messages without the game cutting them off at the normal chat box limit.

When a message is too long for V Rising to send normally, LongChat quietly sends it in safe pieces and reconstructs it for other LongChat users. The goal is simple: longer messages should appear as one readable chat message, not as chopped-up fragments.

Features

• Send longer messages in Global, Local/Region, and Clan chat.
• Reconstruct long messages into a single chat row for other LongChat users.
• Show reconstructed overhead speech bubbles for local chat.
• Preserve Unicode text, including accented characters, CJK text, Cyrillic text, and emoji.
• Avoid splitting slash-style commands, so commands keep their normal behavior.
• Leave normal system messages, colored messages, whispers, and short chat messages on the game's native path.

Requirements

• V Rising
• BepInExPack V Rising 1.733.2
• LongChat installed by both the sender and receiver for reconstructed long messages

Players without LongChat can still see the message pieces, but they will appear as readable [[LC1|...]] transport fragments instead of one reconstructed message.

Installation

Thunderstore / Mod Manager

Install LongChat with the Thunderstore App or a compatible mod manager. The required BepInEx dependency will be installed automatically.

Manual

1. Install BepInExPack V Rising.
2. Copy LongChat.dll into:

<V Rising>/BepInEx/plugins/

1. Launch the game once to generate the config file.

Configuration

The config file is created at:

BepInEx/config/com.yssena.longchat.cfg

Useful settings:

• MaxInputCharacters: maximum characters accepted in the chat box.
• SendDelayMilliseconds: delay between transport pieces.
• EnableGlobal, EnableLocal, EnableClan: enable or disable supported channels.
• EnableOverheadReconstruction: show reconstructed overhead bubbles for local chat.
• EnableOverheadWrapping: wrap reconstructed overhead bubbles across multiple lines.
• MaxOverheadCharacters: cap the overhead bubble text length while keeping the full message in chat.
• DisableSplittingForCommands: keep oversized commands from being split.

Compatibility Notes

• LongChat is client-side.
• Both players need LongChat to see long messages reconstructed into one chat row.
• Whispers are not currently split.
• Short messages use the normal V Rising chat behavior.
• If LongChat cannot reconstruct a message, it will fail visibly rather than silently hiding chat content.

Support

If something looks wrong, enable these settings, reproduce the issue, and share the relevant BepInEx/LogOutput.log lines:

[Debug]
LogTransportDiagnostics = true
LogIncomingRawMessages = true
LogPatchDiscovery = true

Disable raw logging after testing, because it can include private chat text.
