Plugins Broken Via Version Update

You're right. Let me revert all the releases to the first one. It doesn't matter it had bugs!

Which is now implemented btw, so you can rejoice now (once you get the updated launcher that is)

As far as SHEOLHELPER: I tried 40011, 40012, 40013. Nothing works. Am I suppose to change something else in the lua or just that part of line 216?

This works for me

For what it's worth, I'm currently on hook 4.6.2.3 and my display issues persist.

Same, running 4.6.2.3 and still crashes at character login

I know there was no timeline given on this, but just didn't want it to completely fall off the radar. Thanks.

You've been topic banned. I see ***like this directed at the Windower team (or the Ashita one for that matter) again by you or anyone else and it's site-wide and permanent.

It's okay to ask about things or raise concerns; getting snippy and entitled about community efforts is some loser ***though and a very quick ticket out of here

(You're still allowed to make fun of me. I know I'm lazy. The Windower/Ashita people aren't, though, and the game would likely be dead without them. Show some motherfucking respect.)

Arcon just refactored the MMF and fixed a related command handler bug, are you still seeing this issue on the latest hook 4.6.3.0?

How do I get Hook 4.6.3.0? When I launch Windower, it's fully updated at 4.6.2.3, and I no longer see the Dev build/version on Windower.net. The issue still exists in Hook 4.6.2.3.

Dev hook is on 4.6.2.4, dev launcher is on 4.6.3.2, and the way to use Windower Dev has changed - I'll make a post in the Windower Dev Tracker tomorrow.

But you don't need to do anything about either of that for now, the MMF thing is being looked into.

EDIT: on second thought, you should come to the windower discord and help us test/verify the problem and the fix thereof

Why were bidder shortcut commands changed? Or is that just a bug

This started happening after tonight's ~8:45 ET hook update:


FYI -- I know that the !ml indicates an automatic detection via machine learning algorithms which are typically false positives but I can't find a way to start Windower without explicitly allowing an exception for the hook in Defender which some people probably won't be comfortable with.

--

Update: Arcon noted in Discord that this happens sometimes and that its has to be explicitly allowed in Defender.

was a bug

The following issues should be fixed:
- Console input behaving weirdly around backslashes
- Crash on wrong console input
- Crash when printing text from the `incoming text` event to the console
- The `window_toggleframe` command not working
- Color codes in text boxes not working at the start of the text
- Text alignment within a text box, especially with text stroke
- Certain plugin aliases not working (e.g. Bidder's `//ah`, `//dbox` and `//obox` aliases)
- Not being able to bind semicolon
- Bind behavior for backspace changing from before
- Escaping characters in commands not working

If you're still experiencing any of these issues, let me know (preferably in Discord, but we have some people reading this as well, though the response will probably be a bit slower).

The last point above means that the console behavior is now as it was before the update a week ago. That means backslashes are used to escape control characters. It's not important to know what that means to the regular user, only thing it means for most people, if you want to bind your backslash key, you need to use two backslashes, i.e. do `bind \\ <command>`.

Remaining known issues:
- Console text and text boxes not showing up for some people
- MMF input cuts off the initial command name
- Windower gets flagged by Windows Defender

We're working on the first and second, the last is not something we have a lot of control over. I submitted it to Microsoft, now we'll just have to pray they adjust their definitions. For now you'll have to whitelist it in Windows Defender, or tell it to *** off another way.

Any other issues are not currently known to me, feel free to report them (again, preferably Discord, but here works as well, with some delay).

Still not working even after reloading and checking for any update. Also for some reason //bind does not cast bind? Even creating a shortcut in shortcuts as //bin and it wont cast bind.

What versions of Bidder and Hook do you have? I just tried myself, and it works for me.


We debated this internally, and honestly, the only reason it worked before was due to a copy/paste error in how our command handler was set up. It was not meant to ever work, since `//bind` is a Windower command used for key binds. However, the same issue that caused Bidder not to work right, also makes Shortcuts not work right, which indicates even more that you're on an outdated version.
