[notabug] Duplicate Chat Message Check doesn't work with EVENT_CHAT_MESSAGE_CHANNEL
 

I've been working a lot recently with the event EVENT_CHAT_MESSAGE_CHANNEL, which allows you to see what's being posted in chat. I've noticed that if you try to post the same message twice - easily done with addons like pChat, where you can press the 'up' arrow to get what you just posted - it won't actually post to chat, but the EVENT_CHAT_MESSAGE_CHANNEL still fires.

Just wanted to post here to see if this was working as intended. It's funny sometimes because I get a bunch of the same chat message in a few seconds but only one copy in chat.

i just wondering, did you try it without pchat too? it's not a pchat feature with pressing arrow up to "repeat" a message.

Pressing up and getting the last chat message into the chat box again is a base game feature, isn't it?

I sometimes got the problem, that after login, my first post of a message in a chat channels is not written to chat. If I repeat it (with the up key or manually) it's in the chat all of sudden (at least only once and not twice then).

If a chat message is not shown a 2nd time after using the up key it shluld be some addon of yours which is "filtering" the last send messages somehow, but EVENT_CHAT_MESSAGE_CHANNEL ist not filtering! You cannot suppress chat messages with this event afaik.

Search your addons for , normally the filtering is applied in there.

That's because pChat has an anti-spam feature since v2:
Please always test without any addons first, before posting to the bug reports forum. ;)

My mistake; pChat has been installed on my game for so long that I had forgotten what was part of the base game and what was part of the addon.

Thanks for clearing it up everyone. :)

I'm always the guilty :rolleyes:
