Chat messages being limited in lengthFixed

After the last update, my RCON messages were suddenly limited to the length of what a player could type. For years I have automated messages that are quite long to explain the rules. I thought this was a Rust change until I did some experimenting. Turns out removing this plugin - removes the new limit. Not sure if last months patch somehow created an issue with this plugin.

See image below, only change I did was unload the plugin:

It isn't really something this plugin controls, would be something in Oxide if anything as this is simply using the methods from it. Currently looking into it in Oxide though, will update if there is a fix.

Hola, I use a combination of Better Say and Timed Execute to output various helpful messages periodically and they appear to be getting cut off by this plugin. As an example:

(13:33:20) | [Better Say] Server: Remember you can spend RP in the in-game store. Type <color=#a12f2a>/s</color> to view available items, kits

(13:33:20) | [Timed Execute] ran CMD: say Remember you can spend RP in the in-game store. Type <color=#a12f2a>/s</color> to view available items, kits and special features.

As you can see Timed Execute is outputting the full message but only a truncated version is being shown by BetterSay.

Is there anything in this plugin that limits the number of characters? I'm a little confused as messages I send via console can be of any length and I've checked the config and Better Say only seems to adjust formatting. I've also got BetterChat installed so I'm wondering if it's an interaction between these three plugins that's causing this.

Hey mate. I recommend AutoBroadcast. Link: https://umod.org/plugins/auto-broadcast

This will handle everything on its own. Just remember to set the messages you need to edit oxide/lang/en

Hello - with the plugin loaded, text is getting cut short and when I unload the plugin, the text is fine. Thanks in advance!

Rust is for some reason limiting command args to 16 words. I've asked why, but for now I'll be updating both Oxide for tomorrow as well as the Better Say plugin.
