makVre::DtChatEntry Class Reference

Detailed Description

Data container for a single chat message entry.

DtChatEntry encapsulates a single chat message in the chat system, including the sender's username, force affiliation, target channel, message content, and display properties such as opacity and visibility. Each entry corresponds to one message bubble in the chat UI.

This simple data class demonstrates the pattern for Qt-compatible data objects. All fields use Qt types (QString, double) for seamless integration with Qt models.
