try reloading the widget. im guessing thats red console.

or try /luaui reload
or see if the widget has any errors when it is loading etc.

also try the mod specific forum or the thread(if it exists) for the widget in future widget bugs

I've got the same problem. I'm too lazy to test whether it's only the MT build that has it so try using the ST build.

pre-emptive guess; widget broken by new frame counter in chat messages.

Colors seem to be broken, chili chat had teamcolors on the names in the chat but... when I send a message(via spring.echo) with color codes it seems to work.

it's debug info accidentally leaking to the chat
it's for everyone
the timestamp breaks playername parsing, so without knowing playername widgets cannot colorize messages properly
i already submitted a patch to fix it & will be solved in next release

What I cannot comprehend is the design decision behind stuffing everything into the actual message, rather than to the "receive message call" as additional parameters/outputs/whatever.

It was stupid enough that time was there.

To explain: messages in spring carry no information regarding their origin when received in Lua, not even whether they were generated by players or by some other widget. (at least they didn't at the time I made the widget shown in first post)

Origin of message should be made accessible through above mentioned call.
