FATE bot crazy illegible fate names

[papatoast]

When I first start up the bot, the names of the FATEs in progress load in and look fine (as shown in the Blacklist in the image below), however, after a couple FATEs come and go, the names get all crazy looking:

Clean install doesn't make a difference. Any suggestion what I can do to fix this? It makes it difficult to blacklist a FATE as I've no idea what one is what.

I have this, restarting the bot usually helps

As can be pretty easily inferred from the OP, restarting the bot loads up the names for the active fates, but once new fates start up they're all junk names as per the screengrab. So restarting only helps for the FATEs listed when it first starts.

Honestly, what you're suggesting isn't a fix at all, it's a band-aid; a band-aid I'm well aware of and am currently employing to try fill out my blacklist. I'm posting here to see if there's a permanent solution to it, and if not, to have the bug squashed in future releases.

Thats fine, but I am suggesting what works for me, if your are not willing to listen to help from others then thats your loss.
Only one person can make the fix and his life doesn't revolve around bug fixes for this bot.

 

[papatoast]

My willingness to listen has nothing to do with it. You're not suggesting anything new: yours is just a standard captain obvious response. Your house is on fire? You really should get out!

And if your clever line about how only one person can make the fix and how his life doesn't revolve around bug fixes for the bot ... how will he know about it if no one posts about it? How will it get added to the list of things to be done? If people don't report bugs then things will just stay broken.

You asked for a suggestion so you can fix it. I posted a suggestion that works for me 100% of the time.

Grow up a bit instead of raging at any help you get, if it doesn't work for you then fine.
Just because it doesn't work for you doesn't mean its the end of the world.

If you know the name of the fate you want to blacklist you can edit the files with notepad inside the settings directory, otherwise this is a megalowpriority bug.

Can you give an example of how the list should look in the file?

Thanks, that's the info I needed.

Glad to hear it is on the list, even if it is at the bottom
