Text Chat
Overview
There is no text chat in Baldur's Gate 3. Which is weird. There should be. So I implemented it!
Features
Moveable!
Resizeable!
Compatible with Party Limit Begone mod! (8 player multiplayer anyone?)
Settings save on your local machine (so unique for each user and is persistent through different saves)!
Semi-transparent (So you can still see the game when you're not actively using it)!
Passes clicks through it so you're not always accidentally clicking the chat box!

Notice
This UI support in SE has been improved but is still in development, so you might face some issues that are beyond my control, such as:
- Cursor might suddenly appear at the beginning of the text input field
