[0.18.3] Disallowing empty messages

[Gerkiz]

Hello,

Would it be possible to disable sending empty in game messages if said message only contains brackets with nonsense and/or spaces?

I am not sure if it's a bug, but I don't see why this should work.

The message below prints an empty message in game in Factorio.

Code: Select all

Update:
This also works on freeplay (non custom scenario)

What I mean is since you're already disallowing spaces only as a message then this could be included to the disallow list.

I have fixed this on the service that I parse the chat.
