Known incompatibilies
Since this mod is base clean it will conflict with anything else which replaces the chat gui at runtime, an example being the "improved hud" mod. Whilst the mod may not crash, it's likely that one or other mod will not function correctly in this situation.
Bugs
I have not fixed any existing bugs in IC but I hope I haven't created any new ones either. If there are more than 1,000 downloads of this update I will consider patching the mod going forward and fixing existing bugs. If there are fewer then I will only be making version updates in the future.
Thanks again to the testers, I recommend anyone that had a testing version grab the mod from the link above since there were minor issues fixed at each stage and it's worth making sure you have the latest version.
I used the MacroMod before - you shold never try it
Hm. I've used mod_macros for quite some time, I love it. It's kept my minecraft butt safe more times than I can count. The recent release of the ImprovedChat liteloader variant is pretty good too, I'm using that to log chat to disk, and keep chats from separate sources in their own tab. I think literally the only thing I'm missing is the ability to highlight chat text from my history.

As I said, if it proves that Improved Chat is still being used, reflected in a substantial number of downloads, then I will look to fixing the existing bugs. As it is, I mainly did this to try and help people out who still want to use the mod but were finding it conflicted with things (being a base class mod).
There was not a huge amount of work to make it base-clean but it wasn't much of a picnic either (which is why, I imagine, nobody has bothered to do so before) and I've really hit the limit for the time being on how much time I can spend on it right now. I have committed the new source to our team SVN so that hopefully anyone with some spare time can prod it and hopefully improve it.

I will update ImprovedChat for future releases and I will also look into a few of the bugs. If someone wants to compile a List of bugs on a google doc or GitHub i will see what i can do.

I would use IC as well, just not sure if i want another "loader" stuff... I am already full with mods i think that would definitely lead to crash. But anyway thanks for keeping alive that great mod
LiteLoader only uses 1 base class to hook. Everything else is done through reflection to limit the conflicts. Mumfrey also very quickly pounces on any crashes or bugs that he is told about, so it really should not cause you any hassle.

But no plugin should be in the NEED of LiteLoader. Liteloader is for people who are to lazy to do it legit full away. (Or don't know how). I did get IC and liteloader only because I love IC. But next time you make it do it LEGIT.

What do you mean legit. I also don't understand "Liteloader is for people who are to lazy to do it legit full away"

Dude..Liteloader was made so that mumfrey could update his mods quicker without waiting for modloader.
He basically created his own loader for his own mods.
Liteloader doesn't conflict, and works just like modloader does.
I like liteloader mods.

So it's gone from hooking seven base classes, some of which were core classes and caused quite a few conflicts with other mods, to using no base classes save for the single one used by LiteLoader, which is a library specifically designed to not conflict with other mods. Trust me, it's a better way.

Well indeed, but no "plugin"[sic] forum thread NEEDs clueless trolls who insult the hard work of others, yet they abound. Clueless trolls are generally too lazy to make coherent posts (or don't know how), and many don't actually understand what they're talking about in any case. I did respond to this troll comment but only because I love Minecraft modding. But next time you post make it MAKE SENSE.

But this mod is good!
This is a screenshot from GuntherDW, who was the unofficial dev for a while. He also made this TTF font thingy in the chat, which he didn't release.
I looked through the source code.
I found a command that let you change color.
I do not remember what the command was.
