GUI/ChatHud
From TDN
[edit]
Implementation
For implementation of chat GUI, see the sample.fps/client/ui/chatHud.gui and sample.fps/client/scripts/chatHud.cs.
Chat is driven by the function onServerMessage() or onChatMessage(), which contains chat data received from the server. This is in turn called by the functions clientCmdChatMessage() and clientCmdServerMessage() in common/client/message.cs.
The data is stored in the "message vector" class; the function of the chat GUI is to display that vector.

How to Remove Chat
Ok this is the first time that im contributing so i might have a few mistakes.
to get rid of the GUI Chatbox, i just simply changed the source .gui file chatHud.gui by copying a new file and replacing the old chathud file
note: it might be easier to just cut out the lines that are commented out
note: or, even better, remove the loading of the chat files entirely; search for the exec of the chat files in the script source and take them out

Sorry its very messy, hopefully it will come in useful to someone.
