[Twinsen][0.17.2] Anyone can cause total blackout for any player in multiplayer (icon spam in chat)

We are aware of them, but they have low priority. We have more important things to do. They go here in order not to take space in the main bug thread list.

[Twinsen][0.17.2] Anyone can cause total blackout for any player in multiplayer (icon spam in chat)

Post by cogito123 »

Hi,

The bug causes whole screen to get filled with icons of [ img=tile/out-of-map ].
There is no limit on the chat on any server that I trolled :twisted: .
You can just spam [ img=tile/out-of-map ] times 500 in a whisper command to anyone and he will not be able to see anything. You cannot scroll to see the name of the player that send it to you and there are no logs to find who did it.

Thanks for looking into the case.

We are looking at moving chat to it's own window.
So this should be looked at late in 0.17

This would be fantastic.
Chat is always hard to read, and then you see it on twitch and its all pixelated due to compression... Would be nice to have a separate window!

Since we want this forum clean before marking 0.17 as stable, this will be moved to minor issues. We will keep it in mind while designing the new chat.
