As most of us know, the original chat in vcmp only supports English letters. So, I have created this custom chat system in order to use Turkish letters. It is also possible to bring support for different languages by changing the font file.

You need add fonts folder to store.
(https://forum.vc-mp.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Ffiles.thijn.ovh%2Fimg%2Fb118f16c04bdc4d9ea107b82e7a166ea%2Ffonts.zip&hash=f5ae3012e7a02d51c2961b8b2db6607d7bbc0292) (http://files.thijn.ovh/download/b118f16c04bdc4d9ea107b82e7a166ea/fonts.zip)
New Chat Key Is -> "Y"

Good luck...
You didn't tell in your post which key to press so chatbox come. I had to look at the codes = It is 'Y' key.
Now where to place the fonts folder? Inside store/scripts?
I managed to take two screenshots.

As you can see (i don't know if it is because i placed fonts folder rightly or not) the letters are too small.
Again, i 'copy' a chinese character from google and paste into this chatbox, will it work? Or do i need chinese keyboard?
Thanks
It seems you did not place the Font folder correctly thats why the letters are small. True location is store folder. It should have been "store/fonts". Also you can find "floor( 17 * GUI.GetScreenSize( ).Y / 1080 );" this code in 2 places of code. You can change "17" with any other value in order to change your font size.
I haven't tested it with Chinese characters, but it is necessary to add a Chinese font, and change "TR Tahoma Bold" with the font which contains Chinese letters. Each key contains a keycode. If the keycodes supported by vcmp are limited, we can support those keys which are not supported with manually configuring the fonts by changing keycodes.
I had pasted it in wrong folder store/scripts/fonts
I am busy with something. I will certainly look into this.
Is it the same with the one from your server? :o
I remember it was a perfect alternative. Too bad we cannot actually force stop the default chat to open.
EDIT: Here is a video recorded when were testing it :D back in 2021-01-04-1256

Hey sonmez, how you have disabled the old chat box? i mean there wasn't showing any text of old box

Hi Sebastian, it's been a long time I hope you're fine, and yes this chatbox is almost the same but unfortunately I lost my old files, and I had to reproduced them.

There is no method to prevent the default chat to open but you can add
return false; in
onPlayerChat() in order to disable this function.
good
good job
