[ { "Author": "JonKazama-Hellion", "Name": "Hellion Chat", "InternalName": "HellionChat", "AssemblyVersion": "0.2.0.0", "Description": "Hellion Chat is built on top of Chat 2 with one removal and a stack\nof privacy controls on top. The /chat2 command, tabs, channel\nfilters, RGB colours, emotes, screenshot mode, IPC integration and\nthe chat replacement window itself work the same. The optional\nwebinterface that Chat 2 ships is intentionally not part of this\nfork because it could not be hardened to the privacy guarantees\nHellion Chat makes by default.\n\nOn top of that, Hellion Chat adds privacy and data-handling controls\ndesigned to align with the modern data protection rules that apply\nacross the EU, the United States and Japan. By default only your own\nconversations are stored; messages from strangers, NPCs and system\nspam stay out of the database. Retention windows are configurable per\nchannel, history can be wiped retroactively, and stored data can be\nexported on demand.\n\nKey additions on top of Chat 2:\n\n- Channel whitelist with a Privacy-First default\n- Per-channel retention with a daily background sweep\n- Retroactive cleanup with a Ctrl+Shift confirm\n- Export to Markdown, JSON or CSV\n- First-run wizard with three preset profiles (Privacy-First, Casual,\n Full History)\n- Bilingual UI (English and German) with live language switching\n- Independent plugin state — own config file and database directory,\n so Hellion Chat does not share state with the upstream plugin\n\nBased on Chat 2 by Infi and Anna, licensed under EUPL-1.2.", "ApplicableVersion": "any", "RepoUrl": "https://github.com/JonKazama-Hellion/HellionChat", "Tags": [ "Social", "UI", "Chat", "Replacement", "Privacy" ], "DalamudApiLevel": 15, "LoadRequiredState": 0, "LoadSync": false, "CanUnloadAsync": false, "LoadPriority": 0, "Punchline": "Chat 2 with privacy controls aligned to EU, US and JP rules", "Changelog": "**Hellion Chat 0.2.0 — Webinterface removed**\n\nFollowing an internal security and consistency audit the upstream\nwebinterface has been removed in its entirety. Hardening it to the\nprivacy guarantees Hellion Chat makes by default would have meant\nrewriting the auth flow (the upstream code uses a five-digit\nnumeric code from System.Random), changing the default bind address\n(currently every interface), reworking cookie handling and adding\nthe privacy filter to the live message stream that the webinterface\nwas broadcasting around it. The cumulative cost did not match the\nniche use case for a fork that wants less network surface, not more.\n\nWhat changed in this release:\n\n- Settings tab \"Webinterface\" is gone, the corresponding\n Configuration fields (WebinterfaceEnabled / AutoStart / Password /\n Port / AuthStore / MaxLinesToSend) are dropped and stale entries\n fall out of the JSON on the next save automatically\n- The whole ChatTwo/Http tree, the bundled Svelte frontend in\n websiteBuild.zip and the WebinterfaceUtil helper are deleted\n- Watson.Lite (the HTTP server) and Newtonsoft.Json (only used by\n the webinterface JSON wire format) are removed from the\n package references\n- DbViewer's \"Chat2 JSON Export\" button is dropped because it\n serialised the database into the webinterface message protocol;\n the Privacy tab's MessageExporter (Markdown, JSON, CSV with\n channel and date filters) covers the same ground without the\n proprietary shape\n- About tab notes the absence so users coming from Chat 2 do not\n look for it\n- Configuration version bumps from 7 to 8 with a one-shot\n notification (EN + DE)\n\nNo changes to the privacy filter, retention sweep, first-run wizard\nor export pipeline. Existing chat history is preserved.\n\nBased on Chat 2 1.35.3 (upstream Infiziert90/ChatTwo, EUPL-1.2).\n\n**Hellion Chat 0.1.2 — About tab rebrand, DBViewer polish**\n\n- About tab now shows Hellion-specific maintainer, license, EU/US/JP\n disclaimer and SQUARE ENIX disclaimer instead of the inherited\n Chat 2 contact info; original ChatTwo translator credits stay\n visible under a clearly labelled upstream tree node\n- Localization clarified: Hellion-specific German strings are\n maintained by the fork maintainer, the Crowdin contributor list\n only covers the inherited upstream strings\n- Cherry-picked DBViewer UI improvements from upstream Chat 2\n (auto-scroll-reset on page change, tooltips on date reset,\n folder export, page arrows, localized export-running messages)\n- README rewritten in the Hellion project style with a tech-stack\n table, architecture tree, database column list, install guide,\n upstream-sync workflow notes and project-status checklist\n\n**Hellion Chat 0.1.1 — Packaging and migration fixes**\n\n- Plugin icon now ships inside the bundle, so the Hellion logo\n renders locally in the Dalamud plugin list once installed (the\n previous release relied only on the remote IconUrl)\n- Plugin icon downsampled from 1024×1024 to 256×256 to match the\n rendered size; loads faster and caches better\n- Migration from upstream Chat 2 is more robust: each file move is\n wrapped individually, a locked SQLite database no longer aborts\n the rest of the migration, and a warning notification fires when\n any file is held open (with a hint to disable Chat 2 and restart\n the game)\n- README ships a step-by-step migration guide (fresh install versus\n coming from Chat 2) and a troubleshooting section with manual\n recovery commands for Linux and Windows\n\n**Hellion Chat 0.1.0 — Initial fork release**\n\nPrivacy\n- Channel whitelist filter in MessageStore.UpsertMessage with a\n Privacy-First default (own conversations only)\n- Per-channel retention with a 24-hour idempotent background sweep\n- Retroactive cleanup with a Ctrl+Shift confirm and VACUUM\n- Export to Markdown / JSON / CSV via Dalamud's file dialog\n\nOnboarding\n- First-run wizard with three profiles: Privacy-First / Casual /\n Full History\n- Configuration migration that seeds defaults on update\n- One-shot migration from upstream Chat 2's pluginConfigs layout\n- Migrate3 idempotency recovery for half-migrated databases\n\nLook & feel\n- Localized UI (English and German) with live language switching\n- Industrial HUD theme with cyan-teal action accents, slate-violet\n tabs, amber active highlights and a window-opacity slider\n\nBased on Chat 2 1.35.3 (upstream Infiziert90/ChatTwo, EUPL-1.2).", "AcceptsFeedback": true, "DownloadLinkInstall": "https://github.com/JonKazama-Hellion/HellionChat/releases/download/v0.2.0/latest.zip", "DownloadLinkUpdate": "https://github.com/JonKazama-Hellion/HellionChat/releases/download/v0.2.0/latest.zip", "DownloadLinkTesting": "https://github.com/JonKazama-Hellion/HellionChat/releases/download/v0.2.0/latest.zip", "TestingAssemblyVersion": "0.2.0.0", "IconUrl": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JonKazama-Hellion/HellionChat/main/ChatTwo/images/icon.png", "ImageUrls": [], "DownloadCount": 0, "IsHide": false, "IsTestingExclusive": false, "CategoryTags": [ "social" ] } ]
