Census stuff in chat

Isaura · Post by **Isaura** » Thu May 10, 2007 5:56 am

I can't find a solution for the next 'thing' :
Everytime CensusPlus is 'taking', I get constantly all kind of names(and class etc) in my chat window. Its very annoying and spamming
I can't figure out where it comes from.
In the options of CensusPlus I have only checked.

Auto-census
Show minibutton
play sound when done

I hope someone knows why this is happening all the time and how I can get rid of that.

Then I also noticed another thing:
I uncheck the option: automaticaly close who.
But everytime I log in it is checked again. It seems that its not been saved.

Click the Cencus button with the left mount button -> click options -> uncheck verbose

Also its common to see the results of a /who if less than 3 chars are found while CensusPlus is doing a scan.

I haven't checked 'verbose'. Only checked what I mentioned in the first post
It are definitely more than 3 chars when scanning.
The chat-spamming stops a while and then starts again during the same scan.

Your picture shows idd what I mean by 'chat spam'

It sounds more like the less than 3 issue. Any chance you can post a screenshot? Does the message have Census: before the text?

We replied at about the same time Rollie.

I'll try to remember to take a screenshot tonight

I made a screenshot, but I haven't installed the program to handle TGA files yet. So I made a copy of the text from my chat a few minutes ago.
Hope it is sufficient. Sometimes I see more names coming in the chat.
Not too many ppl online yet i think

This is fine and is normal behavior, even if its quite annoying =(

When you do a /who and it results in less than 3 chars being returned it gets sent to your General Chat window instead of the Who window. When CensusPlus is running all it does is /who over and over again and sometimes it results in less than 3 chars being returned. Nothing you can do atm, maybe if Rollie spent a bit more time he might find a way to filter this out. But he's been quite busy lately.... =(

Just accept it and ignore it just like you are with the gold spam whispers.

Well, actually, under normal circumstances, the less than 3 is now filtered. The problem arises when you have other chat modifing mods installed that change colors of names and that sort of thing. There may also be some problems with pattern matching for the non English realms.

I idd do have a chat modifing mod installed. So I'll have to live with it, it seems

Also any comments on the other matter?

I uncheck the option: automaticaly close who.
But everytime I log in it is checked again (also when I change char). It seems that its not been saved.
