Connor. 205 Posted February 26, 2019 (edited) I have wanted to make some additions to the chat for a long time now, but always had things to do so it ended up on the back burner.

El' Rabito 164 Posted March 16, 2021 First: Great script, looks, feels and works fantastic 👍 Second: We monitor chat via RCON for insults etc. Is it normal that it won't show up on RCON with A3ExtendedChat ? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RCON should work the same. This addon is basically a new front end for the chat system, it shouldn't change any underlying features (such as what is sent to RCON). Is that something you're experiencing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes i don't get messages via RCON (from server to RCON tool) on my local test server. RCON to Arma works as intended. Gonna test it later on a dedicated machine.
