BUY IT! Purchase Chat from BigDaddyScripts.com¶ INSTALLATION
Open the downloaded ZIP product file and drop the folder in it somewhere in your resources folder. Add your product key (get it here) to the settings.ini file and add start BigDaddy-Chat to your server.cfg.
DO NOT RENAME THE FOLDER.
If you change the name of the folder it will not function correctly so leave the name as it is.
You must follow this precisely or it will not work. There are two folders in the downloaded archive, BigDaddy-Chat and chat.
- Backup your current chat folder (usually found in the [gameplay] folder in resources) AND DELETE IT COMPLETELY.
IF YOU CANNOT FIND THE CHAT FOLDER
CFX has starting something new recently where they don't have the chat resource on the drive anymore and use a setting in the server.cfg. If you cannot find the chat folder, look in the server.cfg and if you see this:set resources_useSystemChat truethen set it to false and follow the next steps to install the custom version of chat.
- Copy the chat that comes with this archive into the same place as the old one or if you didn't have a chat folder put it in the [gameplay] folder. Be sure to save the original if there was one in case you want to go back.
- Copy the BigDaddy-Chat folder somewhere into your resources folder, add your product key to the settings.ini and add start BigDaddy-Chat to the server.cfg.
Yes, you are replacing the in game base chat with a different version. There are TWO scripts here that have to be installed separately.
