As I said, I know some things about programming, but I don't wanna FUBAR my code unless I can figure out where I FUBAR'd it at.

Thats a diff with my changes that would modify your code, but you want it for groups so you would be better going into zone/client.cpp and making the edits there yourself...

A word of warning..Once you start modifying things, it will be a chore to keep up with the tip release, so you may need to draw a line in the sand and just work from your source exclusively and perhaps cherry pick any new releases to the code manually, if at all....

Any ways:

About line 743 of zone/client.cpp

void Client::ChannelMessageReceived(uint8 chan_num, uint8 language, uint8 lang_skill, const char* orig_message, const char* targetname) {
.
.
.
	case 2: { // GroupChat
		Raid* raid = entity_list.GetRaidByClient(this);
		if(raid) {
			raid->RaidGroupSay((const char*) message, this);
			break;
		}

		Group* group = GetGroup();
		if(group != nullptr) {
			group->GroupMessage(this,language,lang_skill,(const char*) message);
		}
		break;
	}

Not sure about the raid but could try this:

void Client::ChannelMessageReceived(uint8 chan_num, uint8 language, uint8 lang_skill, const char* orig_message, const char* targetname) {
.
.
.
	case 2: { // GroupChat
		Message(13, "Group chat disabled."); //remove group chat
			return;

                Raid* raid = entity_list.GetRaidByClient(this);
		if(raid) {
			raid->RaidGroupSay((const char*) message, this);
			break;
		}

		Group* group = GetGroup();
		if(group != nullptr) {
			group->GroupMessage(this,language,lang_skill,(const char*) message);
		}
		break;
	}

Then recompile and test. If you dont like the "Group chat is disabled message, then remove it -)
