1.5.4

Changelog

• Added a chat config to visuals.cfg that allows customizing the chat tag

1.5.3

Changelog

• Fixed effects being reparsed on every map change

1.5.2

When the Chaos Mod was first released, there weren't that many effects and you'd start seeing repeats pretty quickly.
To compensate, I put a higher default interval between effects so that you wouldn't run out of unique effects too quickly. But times have changed, and we now have over 150 different effects, so it is time to decrease that interval.

Changelog

• Reduced the default effect interval to 30 seconds

1.5.1

Changelog

• Fixed effects accessing vscript functions failing to initialize if the plugin is loaded during server start
• Fixed being able to use the sm_chaos_setnexteffect and sm_chaos_forceeffect commands while the plugin is disabled
• Changed the "effect activated" message to be a HUD notification
