Vegar Report post Posted October 25, 2004 When I entered morcraven from WS it said "Welcome to Morcraven Marsm". Only happened once. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Umrion Report post Posted October 25, 2004 Checking my chat log, I can see it happened to me too once... Looks like it was one time I came from Naralik... Weird.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lyanna Report post Posted October 25, 2004 One of these days, we'll have to do a massive typo-hunt... until then, though, I guess adding features to the game will probably rank higher on the priority list than correcting English.

Ravenod Report post Posted November 7, 2004 (edited) I figured it out... They said it said "Welcome to Morcraven Marsm" But on mine it says (sometimes) "Welcome to Morcraven MarfA" The reason is most people's global filter word is smeg (the last 2 characters become the first two of your filter...Marsm, Naralsm...) Hope that helps you narrow down where the glitch is. Edited November 7, 2004 by Ravenod Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Xilcox Report post Posted November 7, 2004 (edited) it is a string overflow actually what happens is that the text you get from the server is not 0 ended and the buffer dosen't get wiped out before each read (a memset would be an easy fix) so you get from the server something: Xilcox: you think like an italian ! Welcome to Morcraven marsh and you end up with a combination of the two ending in sh*t ... and the filter replace routine searches for words STARTING from each char up to the last occurance in the text, so up to 'h'. this is hardly the only string overflow, just look at what happens with quest log (at least in the default official binaries, don't know if that was fixed). someone probably just assumed that texts from the server are 0-ended wich is not true.

MisanthropicToo Report post Posted November 7, 2004 So the moral of the story is: Don't filter words. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
