Problem description:
My game has a PM system tied to the chat avatars. If you click on someone's avatar, it'll open the PM window and let you send them a private message.
It was brought to my attention recently that within the past month or so, the tooltips for the avatars have changed. As far as I'm aware, I haven't made any changes to the game that should have influenced this.
previously the tooltip at the bottom of the screen when you moused over someone's avatar would read something along the lines of...
"byond://?src=[icefire2050];action=pm"
now it looks like it shows a memory address instead as...
"byond://?src=[0x300001f];action=pm"
Does anyone have any idea what would have caused this? It's not a huge problem and the PM system works fine but players used it to identify a player's key quickly if they changed their in-game name.
