Server Owners

ℹ️ This is aimed towards ServUO
Hey there server owner, if you are interested in utilizing the Global Chat tab of the journal without breaking your current global chat system I would like to introduce you to the chat packet, it's a very easy modification of your current global chat system( usually used with [c ).

Most chat systems today use a simple mobile.SendMessage(FormattedMessageString), but that can be swapped out for some iteration of this:

foreach (Server.Network.NetState ns in Server.Network.NetState.Instances)
    if (ns.Mobile != null)
    {
        ns.Mobile.Send(new Server.Engines.Chat.ChatMessagePacket(e.Mobile, 57, "0" + e.Mobile.Name, "THIS IS A TEST.")); //The 0 is a color code that's non functional but required
    }

This will send the client a chat packet, which by default shows in the system chat the same as mobile.SendMessage does, but it also allows the client to process it as a chat message including CUO utilizing the Chat Message Hue, and for TazUO utilizing the separate journal tab:

It's also simple to change the formatting, the default , chat command sends the name portion of that packet as <serial>PlayerName, but using the above packet method I showed you can omit the serial if that is not desired.
