COH (Chat Over Heads)
Chat bubbles that show what a player is typing above their head in real time and stay around for a few seconds when the message is sent.
Rendering is server-side with vanilla text_display entities. Install only needs to be serverside for rendering, for typing in real time you need the client install too.
