Speech.mul

[Bishop]

I've been away for about 7 years, and after firing up pol98 on my old shard I'm having an issue with keywords not displaying properly over characters anymore when I'm sure they used to display right in the past. All text that does not contain keywords shows normal ingame, but any text that contains a keyword is truncated by 1 character at the end, so saying "vendor buy" displays as "vendor bu". I am using the LBR install 3.0.8j client. I looked through core changes.txt but didn't see anything in there. Have other people experienced this problem? What I find interesting is I'm just parsing the text for keywords and handling them separately, but allowing the core to process speech as normal. If I print the packet's speech contents to console they appear normal, its only the ingame overhead display that is incorrect.

update: using .commands that trigger speech.mul keywords no longer work. example: .getmapinfo = "unknown command: .getmapinf"

hmm... someone else had this same problem but with NPC speech and it got fixed. I'll look through the source and see what I can find... maybe that same bug/fix affects character speech too...

Edit: Nope, just looked. That was the npc module itself so it doesn't apply in this situation. I also don't seem to be having this problem on POL099...

I guess I can try updating it to 99 and see what happens. Will do that later today. also came up with another problem related to uoconvert creating a 74mb file full of 0's.

Ya I've had that happen with uoconvert before too. I just ran it again.

yep, that corrected the problem. took me forever to figure it out though, thought something changed with getstatic. found the solution on this board actually after I was truly stumped.
