Hi everyone, I’m having a few problems with the chat box. Whenever anyone types a plain text message in the chat box, the following text appears where the message should be: “0: 0,255,0” in bold white letters. Is anyone familiar with this issue and how to fix it?

Sounds like your message isn’t being sent properly. If this is for a resource you’re writing, please post the code here used to send messages.

we are currently running our older files. Plain chat doesnt work but if we use a /command (like /ooc) we have a splitstring error message appear in the box of whoever typed it, but for everyone else the message appears fine. i can send the chat resource files we are currently running if you would like. Here is the media fire link to our chat file under resource/[system]/chat https://www.mediafire.com/folder/a8x03e3z8e12z/chat

Please just don’t use older resources, instead use the chat resource in

and update the str:split function in your old resources.
