:| ...Do you mean the text you write right now? Or do you mean the text you wrote already?
Your question is confusing me.

I remember looking for something like this a while back , I think he is looking for something to remove kill messages from Chatbox , and/or removing the box all together.

Yeah, Wises say right
I want to remove the chatbox + the messages (Because I dont want to see what writing players for me)
Ok the chatbox is invisible, I can do it with custom color, but I don't know how remove the messages :x

You already noticed that by "removing" the chatbox (aka giving it full transparency with RGB(0,0,0)) you also remove the rendering of many other things your HUD, right? Like the player icon, the weapon icons, health icons, etc, etc..
Plus, if someone has their render set to render those as opaque (which many players do), the player will instead have very annoying black boxes all over the screen obscuring his own view even harder.

As for the messages, you can't, their colors are defined in the message classes themselves, and which if you set their default color to full transparency, that will affect many other important messages as well.
Again, without your own custom HUD, you can't do that and trying to do so the way you are doing will cause nothing but unwanted side-effects of several levels in messages and HUD rendering.

Problem solved! XConsole FTW! Just opened XConsole.ini and put the Black color to the color list and done
