"False" together with the text about easychat

[Earu]

Hey @asupreme1337 thank you for the report, do you possibly have any other addons that uses the chat installed?

Oh and knowing the gamemode would also help!

[Earu]

So I've found the bug, it's in the gamemode you're using, specifically here: https://github.com/NotMyWing/GarrysModAmongUs/blob/3357ce9ee2ae4b963918d16416a8540ae4fcd80b/src/gamemodes/amongus/gamemode/cl_init.moon#L246

This line is responsible for dictating the color displayed in the chat except well if you're alive it stays a boolean and not a color hence the reason as to why every message you send is prepended by false when you are alive.

No other chat addons were installed.

My server uses a new gamemode - Among Us. I do not argue, perhaps it can create such an error, but why then it is in the general chat and with your addon... In a normal chat, everything is fine. I also looked at the code of this gamemod, but I didn't find any points that could conflict with your chat.

Tested in DarkRP, sandbox & murder. It does seem to be from the gamemode. I'm going to look into it

[asupreme1337]

Oh, that would be great. Thank you. I will wait for the fix.

If you have lua access on your server add this line to run on your clients to fix the problem temporarily:

hook.Remove("OnPlayerChat", "NMW AU DeadSay")

[asupreme1337]

Maybe then it would be better to just edit this code a little to set the color for live players? This game mod is fully present on my server and I can edit it.
I understand that this is not your job (to dig into this code), but if you can suggest a little fix for this, then it will be great. 😄

Unfortunately this gamemode is written in a language that compiles to lua (moonscript), and the source code on github only contains the moonscript files, I have no idea what the compiled code would look like but I have my suspicions that the file should be called the same so look for something called cl_init.lua. In that file look for the hook called NMW AU DeadSay and try replacing this line:

chat.AddText(prefixColor, prefixText, ply:GetPlayerColor():ToColor() or ply:GetColor(), ply:Nick(), Color(255, 255, 255), ": ", ply:IsDead() and Color(220, 220, 220), text)

With this one:

chat.AddText(prefixColor, prefixText, ply:GetPlayerColor():ToColor() or ply:GetColor(), ply:Nick(), Color(255, 255, 255), ": ", ply:IsDead() and Color(220, 220, 220) or Color(255, 255, 255), text)

Hope this help, I'm sorry to say I can't help much more, you could try opening an issue on their repo or leave a comment on their workshop page.

Yes, it really helped me. Thank you very much!
