THIS WILL WORK WITH BIGDADDY-CHAT v1.13 AND ABOVE

as of v1.13 BigDaddy-Chat has a setting called supressLocalCommands and if you set that to true it will use this chat for those commands instead. This change must be made to the BigDaddy-Chat or it will override the 3D commands. BigDaddy-Chat IS NOT REQUIRED to run this resource.
