Is it possible to disable the player test chat in multiplayer?

[philstyle]

As per the title, is there a way to turn off the chat, server side, so it is disabled for all players (except maybe the server admin)?

Add a callback for onPlayerTrySendChat in gameGUI, have admins checked as exempt from it, for everyone else return false.

 

 

Disabling chat, for whatever the reason, is a rather extreme decision and probably isn't the best idea in my opinion.

It seems also that onPlayerTrySendChat, even if returned false or "" as per API description, will deny the chat to appear serverside... but clients still can see everything. Check here also:
