Salty Chat is a TeamSpeak voice plugin which adds more realism to your gamemode (like GTA 5 FiveM/RAGEMP). In order to serve a wide range of mods, the plugin provides a WebSocket server, which allows bidirectional communication. Due to the possibility of communication in both directions, the plugin can also send "State Trigger" (player speaks, microphone muted/unmuted, sound muted/unmuted and more).
We provide resources for some mods and also maintain them. Since it is impossible for us to provide a resource for every mod and every framework, we need your help. If you write resources for certain mods or frameworks that we haven't covered, you are welcome to add them to our resources list through a pull request.
You can help us to improve our docs by contributing via pull requests - we appreciate any contribution.

Any update will be tested in our multi-stage release process:
