Memory Optimization & Future UI

Scalability for high-volume multiplayer chat

Since MP_ChatSystem is primarily a backend-focused framework, the default plugin UI currently uses a standard ScrollBox for simplicity and quick integration.

Coming Soon: Dedicated UI Framework

We are currently developing a standalone UI-focused plugin designed to work seamlessly with this backend. It will feature premium dark-mode aesthetics and native UListView support.

Why Transition to UListView?

A UListView only creates enough widgets to fill the visible screen space. As you scroll, it recycles those same widgets, swapping out the data instantly. While the current ScrollBox is perfect for most projects, we recommend the UListView approach for games expecting thousands of messages per session.

Future Roadmap

  1. 1
    Current: Standard ScrollBox implementation (Best for most use cases).
  2. 2
    Next Update: Experimental UListView helper nodes.
  3. 3
    Coming Soon: Dedicated 'Pro UI' companion plugin with high-performance virtual lists.
