Astrolabe Portal: Player name obfuscation not working

Post by Aeryeris »

Description
The player name obfuscation feature does not obfuscate the player name on the astrolabe.

Steps to reproduce
Enable player name obfuscation on a character.

Expected result
Player name is obfuscated on the Astrolabe portal.

Actual result
Astrolabe portal shows real player name.

Screenshot(s)

In game obfuscation enabled:

Portal:

To demonstrate, I turned obfuscation off briefly after the first two screenshots were taken:

I don't believe this is possible due to the obfuscation flag being an in-game setting that does not get reflected in the database. I will review the code and confirm my suspicions though. Will get back to you once I have a chance to review things.

I have had some time to look into this and it appears the data is not stored to the database, only on the character currently. We will look at correcting this so the Astrolabe can also respect it, but no timeline currently for this, maybe in a few weeks.
