Uptext Anomaly

When banking at the VEB today there was also a character spamming his gold framing website.

His chat was so often, and in just the correct spot that it messed up the reading of uptext, causing the MSI deposit function to fail (Until I disabled SMART and changed my compass angle a bit).

Very rare occurrence, never seen it in all my years, maybe we should start changing public chat to friends/off.

Occasionally I have noticed the uptext detection is less reliable when there is fire underneath the uptext also and have had to change camera angles for it.. You can't really expect anything else though - if the uptext has the same/similar colours as stuff around it, how can it detect what it says properly.. Just one of the drawbacks of colour I suppose.

Low contrast (e.g. Blue Uptext by water) = inaccurate readings from what I've noticed.

Feel free to improve… http://docs.wizzup.org/simba/mmlref/ocr.html ;)

Low contrast could be an issue. I'm sure it can be tweaked a lot more to work better.

I think there's an SRL function to turn public chat off, so you could call that during player setup.

Yeah there is, I just manually disabled chat but would be a good idea to just add that line into scripts that have that problem for me. mhm mhm.

You could probably add it to MSI_SetupPlayer in Mainloop.simba if you wanted. ;)

Please make it optional, and off by default.

Coh3n didn't say he was going to add it to MSI. ;)

Any features like that in MSI do/would have an on/off option in Setup, though.

It might not be so rare anymore now that spambots are around every corner :p I see a ton of them all the time now.

We should make a spam bot reporter bot.
If somebody repeats something(that consists of certain words used by spammers) more than x times, bam, report.
It would be interesting to see the outcome.
