What Is This?

This is another notes mod.

The main difference with this one is that it's open-source and I allow repacking so you have full control over it as a server admin, and it also allows you to select from several different font styles and colors (and you can easily add your own).

It also allows you to blacklist certain words that you don't want on your server. It will log all player notes to a logs folder including player names, Bohemia UIDs and note locations to make it easy to moderate.

It doesn't use the vanilla note system, it uses a custom-made GUI system which allows for a lot more customization and removes some bugs with the other notes mods (such as your character freezing after reading a note). The disadvantage is that it may contain bugs I haven't experienced on my servers, so please report any issues you encounter - or feel free to fix them yourself and repack.
