A difference in 2.0 and 2.1 worlds' chat string processing?
I had a little trick with my bot, which doesn't work any more in 2.1 worlds. In my explanation, i'll symbolise the newline character with {n}, and the tab with {t}. If have my bot [Delph] send the following chatline: How are you, table?{n}Table:{t}Very well, thank you Delph.{n}{t}And how are you today? The chatline would appear in the browser so (still does in 2.0 worlds): [Delph]: How are you, table? Table: Very well, thank you Delph. And how are you today? I could have inanimated objects respond in this way. This trick does not work in AW, presumably this has been changed in 2.1 worlds to avoid abuse. Yet, it's a pity, you could also format text with newlines in this way. Is this to be a permanent feature? Another thing that has disappeared is the degrees sign (I havn't tested other high ASCII symbols). I still have it in 2.0 worlds... XelaG. chat string processing curiosaDec 23, 1998, 3:53pm
Roland, may I suggest the following:
If it's only a matter of preventing abuse, you could preserve the formatting ablility by: a. firstly supressing all tabs b. changing all newlines to newline + tab This would align the text properly. Since you are allready substituting, it should not be too difficult or time consuming to do. Its a pity to loose the newline altogether.
