Spring RTS Engine

The messages from my spads hosts, when players join/leave (#mf) and !promote (#mf, #main, and a bunch of others) aren't showing up on the chat.

Is this a known issue?

hmmm..do I need to update spads due to the latest server changes?

there's these warnings on the logs:

the messages seem to be working again, did anybody do anything?

Nothing has changed at SPADS side, the warnings you see in your logs are just due to the "PlayerAnnounce" plugin you are using. It seems this plugin is redefining/erasing callbacks it has already declared.

If this is the code you are using for this plugin, then you should just add the check "if(getLobbyState() > 3)" at the end of line 65 to fix these warnings: But this has nothing to do with your messages not showing in chat.

Fixed in repo, which now lives at https://framagit.org/specing/s44_spads

Apparently you just replaced a code comment with a new call to "onLobbyConnected()", which should make things worse...
You should revert this commit and just add the "if(getLobbyState() > 3)" check at the end of the line containing the call to "onLobbyConnected()" as I explained.

On the OP, no bug was reported but it might have been related to lobbyserver work (and if so, I guess was resolved weeks ago, unintentionally).

Hahaha :D
