• Can be visible in tooltips!
• Chat Tags are now interactive within the game UI, have descriptions and show tooltip on hover.
• Self-assignable tags can be configured - special type of tags - these can be self-assign by your server players (i.e. pronouns etc).

Requirements

As any module of NidToolbox set, it requires nid-core version 1.0.3+ module, available in the main forum thread: here

Installation

1. Unpack .zip archive
2. Copy nid-chattags.dll to Mods\NidToolbox\Modules
3. Configuration files will be created after first run and are located in \Configs\Mods\NidToolbox

Settings

Config files are located at:

1. Configs\Mods\NidToolbox\ChatTags.json - contains module settings.

Configuration

Chat tags are created and configured via usage of in game commands. While there is a settings file available as well, I strongly discourage from editing it by hand.

There are currently two tag types:

• Manual - this is simplest chat tag, can be created, deleted, renamed, formatted at any time and assigned freely.
• EMGroup - this chat tag is created automatically, based on existing Elixir Framework permission groups and protected from deletion or renaming. Its colour, priority and visibility can be assigned freely, however membership is read directly form the EM Groups created by server admins. See below for some example integrations with EM permission groups. Some of the system tags as Admin and Default are also defined as this type of tag.
• (upcoming) Demographic - it is an upcoming chat tag type, that will be assigned automatically to the members of the specified demographic. Its visibility, priority and colour will also be freely editable.

Adding new tag is as simple as issuing /tag-add and specifying the details. Only tag name and color are required, priority of 1 and visibility enabled are assumed if not given by the issuer.
