Yes, this echo has been on the test port for a while, but I believe that they are yelling clearly on the game port, right?

Nope, this was on the main port, does the particular area matter ? if so it was Irondeep or whatever the name of the small Dwarfhold being attacked by orcs is.

Found a simple workaround for this (using mpat X mpareaecho instead of mpat X yell). It will take a little time to implement.

This is live on the game port now. Let me know, please, if you see any further cause for concern.

Saw this when not with the mob and around the city, but the person with the mob actually saw the proper text they were supposed to be getting.

Interesting. Thanks.

Raona: Could one of your Code Council folks look into this, please? There appears to be a problem with mobiles yelling. There is any easy fix (turn their yell into an mpareaecho), but it's probably easiest to just fix the root issue.

I wasn't quite able to reproduce this issue on the test port but I think it has something to do with scripts that force the mob to yell into different areas, ie:

mpat 8030 yell Help! I am being attacked by $N in the Tombs!


This is the closest I came to reproducing it:


a cleric yells 'Why do you attack me?'
a cleric yells 'I am not one of the undead!'
a cleric yells 'I am here to help!'
Log: [*****] BUG: Weird bug, unable to get a proper language from mob cleric human male tempus m4410, got lang unknown, speaking is

Bizarrely, this error log only showed up if there was actually a PC in the area being yelled into; when I removed the test character the error didn't show up. Forcing the mob to yell caused no discernable problems but I wasn't able to force it to yell into another area.


EDITED:

Alright, I have been able to reproduce it now and this seems pretty interesting.

A character with no languages trained sees:

a cleric yells 'Jekp! I an ading arvaalcd zy Enjg in vhe Vokbu!'

Whereas a character with grandmaster common sees:

a cleric yells '[*****] BUG: Weird bug, unable to get a proper language from mob cleric human male tempus m4410, got lang unknown, speaking is'
