Contributions summary:Pieter primarily focused on enhancing the chat functionality within the MTA:SA game engine. Their contributions included adding an optional `inputBlocked` argument to the `showChat` function, which allows for hiding the chatbox while retaining the ability to type. They implemented and modified functions such as `IsChatInputBlocked`, `SetChatVisible`, and `SetInputVisible` to manage the new `inputBlocked` functionality. Several changes related to chat visibility and input blocking were also applied to the server side.
