GFX Chat replaces the default RedM chat box with a fully custom, western-themed chat system built for Red Dead roleplay servers that care about immersion, moderation, and communication quality.
The default RDR2 chat UI breaks atmosphere the moment a player types. GFX Chat fixes that by giving your server a hand-crafted interface with proximity and global modes, moderation tools, word filtering, spam protection, auto- announcements, and Discord logging — all wrapped in a clean NUI that fits the Red Dead world.
Server owners get better control. Staff get better moderation tools. Players get a chat system that feels native to the frontier instead of a modern desktop overlay.
