About

This mod enables accessing chat and viewing the states of other players in the lobby while in the inventory, blackmarket, preplanning, Crime.net, skills and perk deck selection screens. Phew, what a mouthful. The following preview screenshots will likely do a better job of explaining what this mod does to you than I can ever hope to, so scroll on below to have a look.

Usage

Notes

• The Show Chat button pulses if new messages are received while the chat panel is closed
• The chat panel can be opened and closed using the same key for in-game chat
• With the exception of the Crime.net and preplanning chat panels, all other chat panels added by this mod are not transparent to mouse clicks (i.e. clicking anywhere in the latter chat panels does not cause the GUI behind them to respond to the click)
• All Ready players will have a subtle pulsing glow under their state text
• The local player's slot and empty player slots are dimmed out to avoid drawing unnecessary attention to them
• Player states are also shown in preplanning, with the drawing tools panel moved up slightly to avoid collision
• The available perk points text is moved up by 15 pixels when in a lobby to avoid potential collision with the player state text labels
• This mod also implements two lobby sync states that were unused by OVK, namely Modifying Weapon and Customizing Mask (as opposed to In Inventory being shown for those two screen types)
• Contract information is displayed while in the main menu lobby (new in 0.0.2 / revision 2)
• A job plan icon is added to the main menu lobby's contract box GUI (new in 0.0.2 / revision 2)
  • Will only be visible if the host has set the lobby's preferred tactic to Stealth or Loud
• The chat panel has a 'ghost' mode (new in 0.0.2 / revision 2)
  • If a new message is received while the chat panel is closed, the chat panel will immediately appear in a non-interactive, translucent form so that the message can instantly be read
  • The 'ghost' chat panel fades away again 10 seconds after the most recent message, or immediately upon opening and closing the chat panel
  • The 'ghost' chat panel will be made invisible for as long as the mouse cursor is within its area. This is to prevent chat spam from obscuring the GUI beneath the chat panel
• Player state text labels will be suppressed if the total player limit exceeds 7 players (new in 0.0.2 / revision 2)
• The inventory profile selector is moved up when in a lobby to resolve a collision with the player state text labels (new in 0.0.3 / revision 4)
• The localizations loading code was from TdlQ's excellent Lobby Player Info mod
• The French translations were provided by Mr.PlayYou [BE]
• Testing this thing is a nightmare in itself

  MenuKitRenderer:_set_player_slot() without calling the original function (thanks
  to dive_bomber for providing me with the information I needed to track this
  issue down)
- Added the chat and player state panels to the new crew management node
- Contracts that disallow mutators (such as the safe house raid) will no longer
  have their text misleadingly colorized in purple
- Blocked this mod's chat and player states panels from being added to GUI panels
  when the local player has already spawned into the game (occurs when using the
  large Crime.net screen in Dallas' corner in the upgraded safe house to view
  trophies)
