Privacy
Enable privacy filter
When enabled, only messages from whitelisted channels are persisted to the database. Disabling restores upstream ChatTwo behavior (everything except battle messages is stored).
The filter only controls what is written to the local database. The chat log itself keeps showing every message live — disallowed channels just stop being saved. Use the channel hide options in your in-game chat tabs if you want to remove channels from the visible chat.
Pick which channels are stored in the local database. Privacy-First default: only your own conversations. Use the buttons below to apply a preset.
Privacy-First (recommended)
Clear all
Select all
Direct Messages
Party & Alliance
Free Company
Linkshells
Cross-World Linkshells
ExtraChat (Encrypted)
Public Chat (third-party data)
System & Game Logs
Persist unknown channel types
Failsafe for ChatTypes added by future FFXIV patches that this plugin does not yet know about. Default OFF (Privacy-First). Turn ON if you want a complete log including future channels.
Apply filter to existing database
The privacy filter only applies to new messages. Use the cleanup below to retroactively remove already-stored messages that don't match your saved whitelist.
Cleanup uses your SAVED whitelist (Plugin.Config), not unsaved edits above. Click Save first if you want to apply your current edits.

Message retention
Auto-delete messages after a per-channel retention window
When enabled, messages older than the configured window are deleted on every plugin start (at most once per 24 hours). Off by default — the plugin never deletes history without your explicit consent.
Default retention (days, 0 = never)
Applies to channels without an explicit override below.

Hellion Chat
Privacy filter activated by default. Settings → Privacy to adjust.
Hellion Chat 0.2.0
The webinterface has been removed in this version because it could not be hardened to the privacy guarantees Hellion Chat makes by default. If you used it, please consult the README for context.
Hellion Chat — Welcome
Pick a starting profile. You can change anything later under Settings → Privacy.
Privacy-First (recommended)
Only your own conversations are stored: Tells, Party, FC, Linkshells, Cross-World Linkshells, Alliance and ExtraChat. Public chat, NPC dialogue and system spam are dropped at the storage layer. Retention follows the spec defaults (Tells 365 days, own-conversation channels 90 days).
Use Privacy-First
Casual
Privacy-First plus a 24-hour window for public chat (Say, Shout, Yell, both emote types, Novice Network). For RP players who want to look up the last scene without keeping public chat forever.
Use Casual
Full History
Disables the privacy filter entirely. Stores everything except battle logs, just like upstream Chat 2. Retention is OFF, history grows forever.
GDPR notice: storing third-party messages (Say/Shout/Yell of strangers, NPC dialogue with player names, etc.) for an unlimited time may exceed the personal/household exemption (Art. 2(2)(c)). Use this profile only if you have a clear reason to keep the full archive.

Appearance
Use the Hellion theme across all plugin windows
Industrial HUD palette with cyan-teal action accents, slate-violet tabs and amber active highlights, applied globally to chat log, settings, viewers and the wizard. Disable to fall back to the default Dalamud look.
Window opacity
How opaque the plugin panes are. Lower values let the game shine through; form fields and dialogs stay opaque on top so they remain readable.
Use the bundled Hellion font (Exo 2)
Renders chat and UI in Exo 2 (SIL Open Font License 1.1) which ships with the plugin. Disable to fall back to whatever font you picked under Settings → Fonts.
