[By Design]The /loc command includes MIME::Base64 encoded DBG messages

Example:

Area: Celestis (Novia_R1_City_Celestis) Loc: (196.4, 89.0, -92.0) DBG: Tm92aWFfUjFfQ2l0eV9DZWxlc3Rpc3x8KDE5Ni4zNzEsIDg5LjAwMywgLTkxLjk1Nyl8KDAsIC0wLjE1MywgMCwgMC45ODgpfC0yLjU3NDk0NHw0My4zODA2MXwxMC43OTkzNw==

 

This is very likely by design.

 

This is by design. If you include that string with your reports, developers have a command that can decipher it into exact character position, rotation, and camera angle in the scene to see exactly what players are observing at the time of /loc or /bug.

 

Is there a reason for the obfuscation? It doesn't seem like the decoded text contains anything you wouldn't want us seeing.

 

You'd have to ask our tech team for that. All I know is that there's enough information (probably a lot more lines of text) that were broken down into this code which works for devs to plugin for our own commands.

 

does this mean we no longer need screenshots?

 

Screenshots have a special place in our hearts. The debug teleport makes it easy for us to hunt something down as a last resort if details provided don't make it easy enoguh to fix something without needing to jump into the game first.

 

There really isn't (a lot more tex), this is what the message pasted above says:

Code:

Novia_R1_City_Celestis||(196.371, 89.003, -91.957)|(0, -0.153, 0, 0.988)|-2.574944|43.38061|10.79937

 

There was no intention behind the reason to obfuscate other than it's what our tech team decided to do.

Thanks.
