SendClientMessage
A line in one player’s chat.
The line appears in the player’s chat window in color (0xRRGGBBAA; the color
constants name the usual ones). Long lines wrap; keep them to a sentence or two. A text over 16384 bytes of UTF-8 is cut
at that size - the server log says so once after the mode loads - so a line built without a bound cannot break the
chat.
It is the one-colour, one-channel form of SendChatMessage, and unlike that function it cuts a long text where
SendChatMessage refuses one over 512 characters.
