punchline: A Hellion Forge plugin — privacy-focused chat replacement for FFXIV, built for EU, US and JP data rules.
|
|
description: |-
|
|
Chat replacement for FINAL FANTASY XIV with privacy controls built around
|
|
EU, US and JP data-protection rules.
|
|
|
|
By default only your own conversations are stored. Public chat, NPC
|
|
dialogue and system messages stay out of the database unless you opt in.
|
|
Retention windows are configurable per channel, history can be wiped
|
|
retroactively, and everything can be exported on demand.
|
|
|
|
Features:
|
|
- Channel whitelist with a Privacy-First default
|
|
- Per-channel retention with a daily background sweep
|
|
- Retroactive cleanup (Ctrl+Shift confirm)
|
|
- Export to Markdown, JSON or CSV
|
|
- First-run wizard with four preset profiles
|
|
- Multi-language UI (24 locales) with live language switching
|
|
- Own config and database — no shared state with other plugins
|
|
|
|
Based on Chat 2 by Infi and Anna (EUPL-1.2).

**v1.5.6 — Upstream-Sync Filter-Notification-Polish (2026-05-22)**
|
|
|
|
A backlog-sync cycle: filter and notification items plus polish.
|
|
Half two of a two-part backlog cleanup pass.
|
|
|
|
User-visible:
|
|
|
|
- Tabs can carry an optional regular-expression filter applied on
|
|
top of the channel filter, so a tab can collect only messages
|
|
that contain a given keyword. Set it in the tab settings.
|
|
- Before sending a message that contains plugin-only symbols
|
|
(which other players may see as empty boxes), HellionChat now
|
|
shows a warning; press Enter again to send anyway. Toggle in
|
|
Settings -> Chat.
|
|
- Sender names can be reformatted in the chat log: choose when the
|
|
home world is appended and whether the full name, first name
|
|
only, or initials are shown. Settings -> Chat.
|
|
- The main chat window now has a separate opacity value for when
|
|
it is not focused, so it can fade back while you play.
|
|
- The three bundled custom notification sounds gained a volume
|
|
slider in Settings -> General.
|
|
|
|
Schema bumped to v19 (additive fields only, no data migration).
|
|
|
|
Based on Chat 2 1.35.3 (upstream Infiziert90/ChatTwo, EUPL-1.2).

**v1.5.5 — Upstream-Sync Tab-Features (2026-05-21)**
|
|
|
|
A backlog-sync cycle: inherited tab-feature items plus a new fox
|
|
banner image and custom notification sounds.
|
|
|
|
User-visible:
|
|
|
|
- Failed tells now raise a warning toast when a message you sent
|
|
could not be delivered (recipient offline, in an instance, or
|
|
blocking you). Toggle in Settings, Chat tab.
|
|
- Per-tab notification sound: each tab can play a sound when a
|
|
message arrives while you are looking at a different tab. Pick
|
|
one of the 16 game chat sounds or one of three bundled Hellion
|
|
sounds, with a preview button to hear it. Off by default,
|
|
respects the global sound toggle.
|
|
- The tab rename field in the right-click menu now focuses
|
|
itself when the menu opens and accepts up to 512 characters,
|
|
matching the settings-tab rename.
|
|
- A jump-to-latest button appears in the chat log header while
|
|
you are scrolled up from the live end.
|
|
- Map flags and item links can be inserted into the chat input
|
|
from its right-click menu.
|
|
- The Hellion Forge fox banner in the first-run wizard and the
|
|
Information tab is now a real image instead of ASCII art.
|
|
|
|
Schema bumped to v18 (additive fields only, no data migration).
|
|
|
|
Based on Chat 2 1.35.3 (upstream Infiziert90/ChatTwo, EUPL-1.2).

**v1.5.4 — Polish and Motion (2026-05-20)**
|
|
|
|
A polish cycle: smoother theme switching, faster theme and tab
|
|
access, and subtle hover motion. Three P3 items plus an
|
|
accessibility toggle.
|
|
|
|
User-visible:
|
|
|
|
- Theme switches now crossfade smoothly over ~300 ms across every
|
|
Hellion-rendered surface — sidebar, title, buttons, tabs,
|
|
scrollbar, separators. The window background snaps deliberately
|
|
so the per-window opacity override from Dalamud's pinning menu
|
|
stays untouched.
|
|
- New header quick-picker: a palette button left of the cog opens
|
|
a compact popup with two sections — every built-in and custom
|
|
theme, and every tab. The active entry carries a check glyph;
|
|
clicking another switches without closing the popup.
|
|
- Sidebar icons ease their opacity on hover, and card-mode message
|
|
borders highlight per tab while the cursor is over their rows.
|
|
Framerate-independent, so a stalled Wine frame cannot overshoot
|
|
the animation.
|
|
- New "Reduce motion" toggle in Theme & Layout disables the
|
|
crossfade, the hover animations and the unread-tab pulse for
|
|
users who prefer a static UI.
|
|
|
|
Under the hood:
|
|
|
|
- Two pure-helper lerp paths (ThemeAbgrCacheLerp, FrameLerp) with
|
|
xUnit coverage in the Build Suite, plus a ColourUtil.ApplyAlpha
|
|
alpha modulator. Two new /xlperf self-test steps pin the
|
|
crossfade and quick-picker contracts.
|
|
|
|
No schema bump, no migration. Migration v17 stays.
|
|
|
|
Based on Chat 2 1.35.3 (upstream Infiziert90/ChatTwo, EUPL-1.2).

**v1.5.3 — Localisation Wave + Bundled-Font Overhaul (2026-05-19)**
|
|
|
|
Multi-language pass plus a long-standing first-frame HITCH lands
|
|
as a side effect of a font-stack rewrite.
|
|
|
|
User-visible:
|
|
|
|
- 24 selectable UI languages (was 2). Catalan, Czech, Danish,
|
|
Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hungarian,
|
|
Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norsk bokmål, Polish, Portuguese
|
|
(BR + PT), Romanian, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish,
|
|
Ukrainian, Simplified + Traditional Chinese. Sorted by endonym,
|
|
"None" pinned first. Non-native locales are AI-assisted and
|
|
flagged for native-speaker review via the Forge Discord.
|
|
- Bundled Inter Light replaces Exo 2 (SIL OFL 1.1, 343 KB). The
|
|
Inter font ships Latin Extended-A/B, Greek polytonic and
|
|
Cyrillic Supplement coverage; NotoSansCjkRegular joins as a
|
|
third merge layer for Hangul and Simplified-Han glyphs the
|
|
FFXIV Japanese game font does not ship.
|
|
- First-frame HITCH dropped from ~74 ms (v1.5.2 baseline that
|
|
held since v1.4.x) to a median of ~20 ms (5-reload sample
|
|
17.9-23.6 ms, Linux/Wine). The bundled-font path silently
|
|
fell back to the FFXIV Axis font for the entire v1.5.x series
|
|
because of an early-return in the draw loop. The fix that
|
|
routes RegularFont through draw also lands the defer-pattern
|
|
win the v1.5.1 cycle was reaching for.
|
|
- ExtraGlyphRanges auto-activates on language change. Korean,
|
|
ChineseFull and the two new flags (LatinExtended, Greek) toggle
|
|
on without a manual visit to Fonts and Colours.
|
|
- New WarningText under the language dropdown notes FFXIV's
|
|
chat input only fully supports EN/DE/FR/JA character sets.
|
|
Other languages render in HellionChat but may garble when
|
|
typed into in-game chat.
|
|
|
|
Under the hood:
|
|
|
|
- Three-layer font stack: Inter Light primary, FFXIV
|
|
JapaneseFont merge 1 for kana/kanji style, NotoSansCjkRegular
|
|
merge 2 for everything else CJK.
|
|
- LanguageOverride enum gains ten locales plus three previously
|
|
commented out (Italian, Korean, Norwegian as `nb`). New
|
|
values append to the enum so existing config integers stay
|
|
stable across update.
|
|
- Crowdin gap closed: four post-sync ChatTwo keys backfilled
|
|
into 13 legacy locales with per-key AI markers.
|
|
- Plugin.LoadAsync runs a one-shot migration that ORs in the
|
|
matching ExtraGlyphRanges flag for users already on a
|
|
non-default language. Settings.Apply auto-activates on
|
|
change going forward.
|
|
- Em-dash sweep across the EN source and 18 translations to the
|
|
house style. Russian and Ukrainian keep the typographic norm.
|
|
|
|
Migration v17 stays. UseHellionFont users transition from Exo 2
|
|
to Inter Light transparently on first reload.
|
|
|
|
Based on Chat 2 1.35.3 (upstream Infiziert90/ChatTwo, EUPL-1.2).
