Windower.register_event 'chat Message'

has something broken with the way that Windower interprets chat messages from ffxi?

For example, An addon that reads message streams out of ffxi, Cardian.lua, which is used to stream chat data into discord

found here:
https://github.com/sjkinnett1/cardian

is now unable to correctly interpret data streams from Windower's 'chat message' text capture.

The message stream that windower captures now seems to be one character off.
Typing Hello captures ello for example.

Nothing has changed with this perticular addon, which makes me feel that something has changed with the way windower interprets the incoming text streams.

appreciate any input

SE changed stuff with the chat packets. Chiaia said in another thread he just pushed an update that should fix it.

It's a known issue. The chat packet changed with this months update. I'm about to build a new Luacore that addresses this very issue will probably be out by tonight.

While pretty much the same, this is a windower event so it's handled in a different spot. So atm it is not fixed.

Thanks Chiaia. Appreciate it.

Should be fixed once you relaunch.

Thanks for looking at this.
I'm still seeing some strange behavior, are you seeing anything where messages from ffxi over 15 characters are being spliced off?

Sent this message to myself
Gippo : 12345678901234567890

Tell stream shows this in Windower:
123456789012345

Do you have any other apps you can test against?

Just tested and was unable to reproduce that issue.

Is this related to the fact that the Shout box on FFXIAH isn't working anymore?

Translate addon has not been translating certain terms and phrases correctly as it was before the update, and there is an occasional LUA error.

"occasional" he says
