punchline: Chat replacement with privacy controls aligned to EU, US and JP rules — based on Chat 2 (EUPL-1.2)
|
||
description: |-
|
||
Hellion Chat is a privacy-focused chat replacement for FINAL FANTASY XIV
|
||
based on the Chat 2 codebase (EUPL-1.2). One feature is intentionally
|
||
removed (the optional webinterface) and a stack of privacy controls is
|
||
added on top. Tabs, channel filters, RGB colours, emotes, screenshot
|
||
mode, IPC integration and the chat replacement window itself work the
|
||
same. The webinterface is intentionally not part of Hellion Chat because
|
||
it serves a different use case from the smaller default footprint this
|
||
plugin is built around.
|
||
|
||
On top of that, Hellion Chat adds privacy and data-handling controls
|
||
designed to align with the modern data protection rules that apply
|
||
across the EU, the United States and Japan. By default only your own
|
||
conversations are stored; messages from strangers, NPCs and system
|
||
spam stay out of the database. Retention windows are configurable per
|
||
channel, history can be wiped retroactively, and stored data can be
|
||
exported on demand.
|
||
|
||
Key privacy and data-handling features:
|
||
|
||
- Channel whitelist with a Privacy-First default
|
||
- Per-channel retention with a daily background sweep
|
||
- Retroactive cleanup with a Ctrl+Shift confirm
|
||
- Export to Markdown, JSON or CSV
|
||
- First-run wizard with three preset profiles (Privacy-First, Casual,
|
||
Full History)
|
||
- Bilingual UI (English and German) with live language switching
|
||
- Independent plugin state — own config file and database directory,
|
||
so Hellion Chat does not share state with upstream Chat 2
|
||
|
||
v1.4.2 — ChatLog Frame-Hot-Path. Three per-frame allocation
|
||
patterns gone from the chat-log render path: card-mode borders
|
||
hoist invariants out of the per-message loop, auto-tell tab
|
||
tint and icon get a per-tab cache, and the status bar gates
|
||
its tab aggregation behind the same one-second cache it uses
|
||
for the format strings.
|
||
|
||
v1.4.3 — Plugin-Load Async-Init plus Repo-Cutover. Plugin
|
||
migrated to Dalamud's IAsyncDalamudPlugin so the heavy work
|
||
(migrations, service allocations, window construction, hook
|
||
subscription) runs in LoadAsync without blocking Dalamud's
|
||
UI. Schema-gate replaces the v9 → v16 migration chain;
|
||
configs on schema v16+ load directly. Custom-repo URL moves
|
||
to gitea.hellion-forge.cloud, the GitHub repo stays as a
|
||
frozen v1.4.2 snapshot.
|
||
|
||
Based on Chat 2 by Infi and Anna, licensed under EUPL-1.2.

changelog: |-
|
||
**Hellion Chat 1.4.3 — Plugin-Load Async-Init + Repo-Cutover (2026-05-08)**
|
||
|
||
Plugin lifecycle migrated to Dalamud's `IAsyncDalamudPlugin`
|
||
API. The constructor now does only the bootstrap-essentials
|
||
(config load, language init, conflict detection); migrations,
|
||
service allocations, window construction and hook subscription
|
||
move to LoadAsync. Dalamud can keep its UI responsive while the
|
||
heavy work runs.
|
||
|
||
- IAsyncDalamudPlugin two-phase load with per-line CaptureFailure
|
||
in DisposeAsync (mirrors LightlessSync's pattern); idempotency
|
||
guard protects against reload races
|
||
- Schema-gate replaces the v9 → v16 migration chain. Configs
|
||
on schema v16+ load directly; older configs trigger an
|
||
"install v1.4.2 first" error so the historic migration
|
||
path stays intact
|
||
- AutoTranslate.PreloadCache moved off the load path. First
|
||
use may have a sub-second hitch instead of every-load; the
|
||
upstream chose differently, we accept first-use latency
|
||
- FontManager.BuildFonts is called sync at the start of
|
||
LoadAsync; Dalamud rebuilds the font atlas on its own
|
||
pipeline so the custom Hellion-Exo2 font appears with a
|
||
brief font-pop after load (matches ChatTwo's behaviour)
|
||
- Custom-repo URL moved to gitea.hellion-forge.cloud/
|
||
JonKazama-Hellion/HellionChat. GitHub repo stays as a
|
||
frozen v1.4.2 snapshot; new releases ship from Gitea.
|
||
Existing testers need to update the custom-repo URL once
|
||
- Plugin-load time in this release sits at ~3.7 s median
|
||
(5 reloads), comparable to v1.4.2. Async migration is
|
||
foundational for v1.4.4 Lazy-Init optimisations rather
|
||
than an immediate user-perceived win

|

|
||
**Hellion Chat 1.4.2 — ChatLog Frame-Hot-Path**
|
||
|
||
Third sub-patch of the v1.4.x Polish Sweep series. Per-frame
|
||
allocations from the chat-log render path eliminated.
|
||
|
||
- DrawMessages card-mode hoists theme/drawList/winLeft/winRight/
|
||
borderColorAbgr out of the per-message loop. About 500
|
||
redundant calls per frame at 100 visible messages, multiplied
|
||
by every pop-out window
|
||
- Auto-tell tab tint and icon use a per-tab cache. Hash
|
||
computation and string allocation only happen when the tell
|
||
target name or world drifts. AutoTellTabTint stays a pure
|
||
hash helper; cache lives in a thin TabTintCache wrapper
|
||
- Status bar gates its tab aggregation behind the same
|
||
one-second cache it already used for the format strings.
|
||
LINQ Sum and Count replaced with a single foreach pass
|
||
that runs on roughly 1% of frames
|
||
|
||
Realistic frame-time recovery: 2-5% in typical scenes, more
|
||
on pop-out-heavy setups because the card-border hoist scales
|
||
per window.

|
||
|
||
**Hellion Chat 1.4.1 — Theme Engine Performance**
|
||
|
||
Second sub-patch of the v1.4.x Polish Sweep series. Heap
|
||
pressure from the theme engine's per-frame render path
|
||
removed, plus a tenth built-in theme and hardening for
|
||
the custom-theme hot-reload.
|
||
|
||
- Theme records carry a pre-computed ABGR-packed cache
|
||
for every color slot; cache is filled when the theme
|
||
is registered and refreshed defensively on every
|
||
Switch()
|
||
- HellionStyle.PushGlobal reads ABGR values from the
|
||
cache instead of calling ColourUtil.RgbaToAbgr per
|
||
slot per frame; ~13 % render-time recovery measured
|
||
in typical scenes (plan estimate was 2–6 %, real
|
||
~10–15 %)
|
||
- ThemeRegistry custom-theme reload distinguishes a
|
||
recoverable file lock (editor mid-save) from a
|
||
permanent IO failure; locked themes keep their
|
||
last-known-good snapshot and retry on the next
|
||
lookup instead of dropping out of the picker
|
||
- New built-in: Synthwave Sunset — Hot Magenta + Cyan
|
||
on midnight violet, 80s neon-grid vibes; tenth theme
|
||
in the picker
|
||
- Author credits refreshed: brand themes are credited
|
||
as "Hellion Forge"; Mint Grove and Forge Merchantman
|
||
now credited to Carla Beleandis as a community thanks
|
||
|
||
No schema bump, no user-visible behaviour change other
|
||
than smoother frames on GC-sensitive setups and one
|
||
additional colour option.
