Default game chat visible beneath

[Yeribot]

Been using and enjoying for a while but as of a few weeks ago the game's default chat is visible behind the BC window. Have tried toggling plugin and reinstalling to no avail.

Is this on Pyplanet servers or on Nadeo servers?

I can't reproduce this myself on the TOTD server:

Had only been playing TOTD myself which is where I was experiencing it. Just tried on a pyplanet server and that produces a JSON string in the default chat (which does not happen on TOTD servers). In my image the most recent message was sent with BetterChat and the one before sent with default chat (BC plugin toggled off).

Evo servers aren't PyPlanet, they're running their own EvoSC. The json string is expected, but it's not supposed to show the actual chat. I just tried Evo FS Beginner, and can't reproduce it here:

Pyplanet is the only exception because some Pyplanet plugins use their own Manialink chat (see https://github.com/PyPlanet/PyPlanet/issues/1109)

Completely reinstalled Openplanet and did a fresh BetterChat install from plugin manager. Seems to have fixed the issue. Thanks for your help anyway.

I wonder if you had some setting enabled that broke it 🤔 Glad you fixed it anyway!

Re-opening this because more people have been starting to report this happening.

Strihke reported this too -- looks exactly like above. Happens on all servers.

From a MM game:

Did some research with Strihke about why this was happening.

better chat filters for CHmsZoneOverlay::EHmsOverlayAdaptRatio::ShrinkToKeepRatio_OnlyWider, but Strihke had no overlays with this tag. All of his were ShrinkToKeepRatio.

The SortOrder of each of his overlays were as follows (the /stkr just means ShrinkToKeepRatio):

solo: (ix: SortOrder / m_AdaptRatio)
0: 1/shrikn to keep ratio
1: 4/stkr
2: 5/stkr
3: 5/stkr
4: 5/stkr
5: 12/stkr
6: 14/stkr
7: 16/stkr
8: 16/stkr

generic server: (ix: SortOrder / m_AdaptRatio)
0:2/stkr
1:3/stkr
2:3/stkr
3:3/stkr
4:3/stkr
5:4/stkr
6:5/stkr
7:5/stkr
8:5/stkr
9:12/stkr
10: 14/stkr
11: 16/stkr
12: 16/stkr

This is likely a result of Tweaker or Tweaker Preview. Admittedly, checking for this enum is not gonna be reliable in any meaningful way. Instead, I am now just using the current playground interface root, see: e3fd286fa247b72ca59c4467a3de8ab1358b914a

Well, that was an elegant fix.
