CodeM Chat - Modern Themed Chat System for ESX & QBCore Servers

Transform your server's communication with CodeM Chat, a fully redesigned chat interface featuring modern themes, customizable colors, message filtering, and enhanced functionality. This chat system replaces FiveM's default chat with a sleek, user-friendly interface that improves readability and adds powerful features like staff commands, proximity chat integration, message reactions, and department-specific channels. Perfect for roleplay servers needing organized communication between civilians, police, EMS, and staff.

What's Included

CodeM Chat includes multiple pre-designed themes including dark mode, light mode, and custom color schemes that players can choose based on preference. The system features message categorization with different colors for OOC (out of character), /me actions, /do descriptions, announcements, and department communications. Staff features include admin chat channels invisible to regular players, message moderation tools for deleting inappropriate content, and player muting capabilities. The chat supports proximity-based local messages that only nearby players see, department channels for police/EMS/mechanics, and global channels for server-wide announcements. Additional features include clickable player names for quick interactions, message history scrollback, customizable font sizes, and integration with suggestion systems showing available commands.

What Makes It Stand Out

CodeM Chat revolutionizes server communication by replacing the outdated default chat with a modern, feature-rich interface. The message categorization with color coding eliminates confusion between OOC chat, roleplay actions, and department communications, making it immediately clear what type of message you're reading. The proximity-based local chat creates realistic scenarios where private conversations stay private unless someone is nearby, essential for immersive roleplay. Department channels allow police to coordinate without civilians seeing their plans, while EMS can request backup without cluttering global chat. The staff tools including admin chat and message moderation give administrators control over communication without requiring third-party Discord bots. The theme customization lets players choose visual styles matching their preferences, improving accessibility for players who need different color contrasts or font sizes. The command suggestion system reduces player frustration by showing available commands, helping new players learn your server's features.
