This is because ever since release 4.5 lua pattern functions have been nerfed since they can easily lag/crash your game. Starfall has to edit the string metatable in order to keep everything sandboxed, which ends up affecting other addons if they use the (""):foo() format versus string.foo("").

Since this addon scb-20 overrides chat.AddText it's not very viable to fix here (Why does this detour exist anyway..)

So either

• The original gmod issue needs to be fixed here: https://github.com/Facepunch/garrysmod-requests/issues/1878
• The addon in question needs to replace their use of (""):foo() with string.foo("")
