Display the in-game chat feed in the web spectator client.

Server side

  • Hook into GMod's chat system (PlayerSay hook or GM:PlayerSay)
  • Send chat messages to connected spectators as JSON: {"type": "chat", "player": "name", "text": "message", "team": false}
  • Include player name, message text, and whether it's team chat

Client side

  • Chat overlay panel (bottom-left, matching GMod's chat position)
  • Messages fade out after a few seconds
  • Scrollable history
  • Player names colored (could use team color if available)
  • Optional: toggle chat visibility

Notes

  • This is a relatively simple feature — mostly a new message type and a UI panel
  • Could also stream other server messages (kills, joins/leaves) in the same feed
