Some Player's "pubchat" text can't be read by others

[»Axe Demento]

Hello all at a quick glance i couldn't find anything that dealt with this problem with a search.

So that out of the way I'll post this and see if any of you already know the answer

 

Some players when they type a message in blue pub chat doesn't show up for other players.

Its not the basics like ?ignore nor does it seem at first glance to be *lockpublic or one of the other lock commands.

 

I'm wondering if a bot created some sort of hidden file with a few players names on it thats limiting their chat.  I was playing with Bjorns Old AI bot so whether it has a locking chat function that got turned on i'm not sure.  It is not currently running on this server reboot.

 

Have tried a reboot etc.  New players seem to be able to enter and chat to some players but not others.

 

Sound like anything you have seen?

 

thanks for the help

So closing in on the problem.  Seems to have something to with pub chat and level of the account.  If i grant one of these players *sysop then they can see the messages.

 

So there must be some setting buried somewhere that is blocking people of a certain level from talking in blue.

The digging will continue

Ignore public macros and/or no duplicate messages could be turned on.

 

Could also be a message/flood limit set, being *sysop would override it.

Thanks polix i think under further investigation is a local network with 8  machines running. As i sometimes will have people playing together in a lan setup.  So i'll play with the lan settings and also the message/flood limits.

 

When i dropped down to one machine plus the server message problem seemed fixed.

Psyops had a similar problem when he was doing some bot work.

 

Thanks and i hope all is well with ya!

obscene messages are removed by subgame

sysops bypass obscene

thx cheese it was just too many clients logged in from the same ip.  As long as any lan machine has sysop level everyones messages are fine.  All players can log in and see public chat.  Also everyone logging in from outside my ip is also good to go.  Perhaps i'll find another solution later on  if i can modify the message flooding.  I used the bot option with the ip of my server.

Now everyone can log in and see chat.
