New Chatbox Features and Guide

Seeing as it's almost done, I'll go ahead and make a quick guide so you peeps can get used to it.

Features:

• Draggable and Resizable - Yes, you can move the chatbox wherever you want to, and resize it.
  
• Colored Chat - Different chat channels have different colors. for example, a say and a yell will be colored differently.
  
• Chat Filters - You can filter chat to only display certain channels. This is like having filtered tab.
  
• Resizable Font - Yep.
  
• Clientside Chatlogger - Any chat you see in your chatbox will be saved in your garrysmod/garrysmod/data/CakeScript folder by the name of log_<month>_<date>_<year>.txt
  
• Custom Chat Colors - Yes, you can change dem colors.
  
• Quick PMing - If you see someone you want to pm in chat, click on their message to get a /pm <player's name> ready.
  
• Auto-saved Settings - They save automatically via a repeating timer, or when you disconnect.

Now, in order to work some of these, you will have to go into the settings tab. But first, the basics.

Dragging the Chatbox - Select the top of the chatbox and you can drag it around.
Resizing the Chatbox - Select the bottom right corner and you can resize the chatbox. Careful not to make it too small.
Using different Filters - You'll notice a box that expands to give you multiple choices. Each of those choices is a separate filter. As soon as you select one, the chat will refresh and re-adjust itself to display only that filter. (note: you may have to select it again if it doesn't work the first time).

Now, for the Settings tab. When you select it, you'll notice it's a little more complicated.

Font Resizer - The moment you choose a font size, a new font size will be set. There will be an example available to you.
Channel Selector - This chooses a channel to edit. Once you've picked it, the Color Mixer will be reset to its settings, and the example line will be set accordingly. When you have chosen a color you like, hit apply, and the channel's settings will be edited.

If you'd like to restore default settings, or manually edit your settings, they are all saved to the file garrysmod/garrysmod/data/CakeScript/settings.txt. Delete it to restore defaults, or go in and manually edit it if you'd prefer that method. The contents are pretty straightforward.



I hope this will help you all understand the soon-to-be uploaded chatframe.

Wait, are you changing the color of your character's text, or the text in general?

text in general, of a specific category of chat.
