Changing button send-signal attempts filtering of input string - Triacontakai - 10-25-2019
Attempting to set a button's send-signal to something with an & in it (a very important thing in MechComp!!!) filters it to &

I've looked at MechComp HTML escaping a while ago because of this bug and it's quite a mess. Things are escaped where they shouldn't and not escaped where they should. Like for example if you catch packets sent by the pump control computer there's "¶meter" in there which gets displayed as "¶meter" because the & doesn't get escaped. IIRC a temporary workaround is to use "%26" instead of &.

tested %26, looks like that's broken as well
moonlol and i tested this in the exact same round on the main server, and somehow got two different results: moonlol got the correct signal of "&", while i got "&"
i have no idea what could possibly cause this to happen, but maybe that helps
both of us did the same thing of
1. right-clicking the button with multitool
2. changing send-signal in the context menu that comes up

I was using a button to send packets yesterday and I had no issues. The only difference might be that I was copy/pasting from a file instead of typing the character directly.
