There's a couple errors in the pattern. The asterisk is a magic character that needs to be escaped. Also, you need the capture to match as little as possible so it doesn't try to overflow outside the terminating asterisk if another one exists in the message or multiple emotes are in the message. You should use either "%*([^%*]-)%*" or "%*(.-)%*".
