GlobalChat by ShaneeexD

GlobalChat adds a shared online chat channel to Shadows of Doubt.

Players can talk to each other across saves and sessions through a hosted backend, see who is currently online, use quick in-chat commands, set a shared username color, and locally mute people they do not want to see.

Features

• Global online chat
• Online player list
• Shared username colors

Installation

1. Install the required dependency: Venomaus-SODCommon-2.1.4

3. Launch the game once to generate the config file
4. Check that ApiBaseUrl points to the correct backend if needed
