[BUG] Chat section of the config has two issues

Open prototype464 opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

  • OS: Windows 10, 64 bit
  • Valheim Game Version: Latest
  • V+ Mod Version: 0.9.9.8

Describe the bugs: These refer to items in the valheim_plus.cfg file.

  1. forcedCase = false only works for the text displayed in shouts / whispers appearing in the 3D scene, and does not work for the text in the chat window. Why?
  2. defaultNormalDistance setting literally doesn't work, I set this to an absurdly high value (500000) and this did nothing. While testing with my buddy, I could still see his shout in the 3D scene and the chat window, but neither of us could see regular chat - I have both this setting and defaultShoutDistance set to the exact same value.

To Reproduce:

  1. Set the [Chat] section config to the following: enabled = true

shoutDistance = 0

outOfRangeShoutsDisplayInChatWindow = true

pingDistance = 0

forcedCase = false

defaultWhisperDistance = 10

defaultNormalDistance = 500000

defaultShoutDistance = 500000

  1. Go into a world with a buddy

For the forcedCase issue: 2.1. Try /s This DOESN'T work AAaAAaaA in chat, it will be full caps in the chat window but will display properly in the 3D scene.

For the chat distance issue: 3. Have your buddy really far away in the world and try /s You are seeing this message!, they should see this message if you're within the configured distance - 500,000 is rather far away 4. After doing the shout, from the exact same distance with nothing changed, just say something in chat like i want to die. They will have seen your shout, but not this message. They are set to the exact same value, meaning the defaultNormalDistance option is not working.

Expected behavior These two options in the config work as intended.

Additional context I could be incorrect about the second issue involving normal chat distance, as the shoutDistance = 0 option could be playing a factor, however I don't believe the defaultNormalDistance even works and would recommend further testing to make sure it's not an issue of the distance being set too short.

Also, a small question but how far is a "meter"? How many meters wide is a world? What should you set defaultNormalDistance to if you wanted it to work throughout the entire world for players?

I have exactly these two issues as well.

I use the version 0.9.9.11 and V+ is the only mod installed.
