Steam Workshop Version: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=921637415 This mod allows you to instantly send a chat message in just a press of a button. Press 'Ctrl + Shift + F6' to toggle the mod on or off. Edit your chat binds via the 'chatbinds.lua' file of this mod. The file is located in the '...\mods\workshop-921637415' folder. How to make your own chat binds: Go to your Don't Starve Together game directory. It will usually be at '...\Steam\SteamApps\common\Don't Starve Together'. If you have gotten the game during Closed Beta or Early-Access, then your game directory will be '...\Steam\SteamApps\common\Don't Starve Together Beta'. Next, go to the 'mods' folder. Then to the 'workshop-921637415' folder. Then open the 'chatbinds.lua' file. The file will have placeholder chat binds at first, but you can change, remove, and add your own chat binds. You can go ahead and remove all the placeholder chat binds, but you can keep them if you want. Now, onto making your own chat bind. Here's a template: { K, "This is an example of a sentence" ,"print", }, What this this does is make you send the message 'This is an example of a sentence' whenever you press the 'K' key on your keyboard. Now, let's add a second chat bind: { K, "This is an example of a sentence" ,"print", }, { V, "My hunger is <hunger> over <maxhunger>" ,"print","whisper","shift" }, What this does is include your current hunger and max hunger in the message. So if you have 90 current hunger and 150 max hunger, then the chat message you will send is 'My hunger is 90 over 150'. Also, notice that there are two more tags, "whisper" and "shift". The "whisper" tag means that your chat message is only whispered to nearby players instead of everyone on the server. The "shift" tag means that hotkey to send the message becomes 'Shift + V' instead of just 'V'. If you add a "ctrl" tag too, then the hotkey becomes 'Ctrl + Shift + V'. Now, let's add a third chat bind: { K, "This is an example of a sentence" ,"print", }, { V, "My hunger is <hunger> over <maxhunger>" ,"print","whisper","shift" }, { F8, {"I've got heads", "I've got tails", } ,"print", }, What this does is randomly choose which one of the messages will be sent. Upon pressing the 'F8' key, you have a 50% chance to say 'I've got heads' and a 50% chance to say 'I've got tails'. You can put as much messages as you like and they will all have an equal chance of being picked. Now, 'chatbinds.lua' should look like this: Hopefully, those examples are good enough of an explanation for how to make your own chat binds. It's very easy as long as you understand what goes where. A list of available keys is located in the '...\mods\workshop-921637415\keys.lua' file. There are more you can do with this mod though.
