Excessive Plus has several features to improve your communication with your teammates, or just to spam on servers.
There are some variables available that can be used in the normal, team or private chat messages.
$(health)
Current health.
$(armor)
Current Armor.
$(ammo)
Current ammunition for the currently held weapon.
$(location)
Returns the closest item spawn (only weapons, armors, powerups, holdable powerups and mega health). If there is no item spawn close to you, it will return the location as visible on the team overlay.
$(corpse)
The location you last died at.
$(attacker)
The player name who last hit you.
$(target)
The player name you last hit.
$(pickup)
The last item you took (only weapons, armors, powerups, holdable powerups and mega health).
$(item)
Like $(location) but reports only available items (no empty spawns) and includes dropped items.
$(itemCrosshair)
If there are more than one item close to you and you want to report about a specific item to your team. This will return the item closer to your crosshair.
$(friend)
The closest available team mate. Obviously only works for team games.
Examples:
/say_team Need support at $(location)! [H:$(health) A:$(armor)]
/say Next time I kill you, $(attacker)!!
/say Run while you can $(target)!
/say_team &gen_giveammo.wav Give me some ammo, $(friend)
These are normal chat messages that additionally replay a sound to get the attention of other players. The sounds will vary depending on the sex of your model. You can colorize the following messages:
cover me escort me follow me good shot haha i will hold this position move no ok take over this position
Usage: /say ^1Ha^3Ha
These are normal team chat messages that additionally replay a sound to get the attention of your teammates. As with voice chats, the sound will depend on the sex of you model. You can colorize the following messages:
attack now available tech base is clear base is overrun cancel that enemy fc is here fall back and regroup good work team i have the quad incoming attack incoming quad need defense need escort on defense on offense out of position quad is up ready requesting base status roger standby to attack waiting for the quad
Usage: /say_team Base is ^1OVERRUN
NOTE: Version 2.0a of Excessive Plus has a bug that disables radio chats and instead replays voice chats for both normal and team chats.
These are the more complex type to set up. Basically, you can bind certain sounds with whatever message you want, being it normal, team or even private messages. The list of available sound files to replay are:

You can disable all of these fancy features with the client cvars xp_noVoiceChat for voice chats, or xp_noRadioChat for radio chats. Use xp_noChatBeep to disable the chatbeep coming after each message.
However, if you don't want to disable them, but there is a chat spammer on the server you would like to ignore, you can use the /ignore (alias /mute) client command. This command accepts one parameter, which can be:
/players command).red, blue or spec to mute all members of the specified team.all to mute everyone in the server.Mutes will stay for the session. You can add something like unmute all to the xp_onExit cvar to unmute them at the end of the map.
Alternatively, to mute everyone on the server, you can just disable the printing of chat messages, by setting the right bits on the xp_drawNotify client cvar.
