Here is something I been messing with off and on, and decided to finish. If you wanna try it out, go for it.
What it does, is saves & loads "filter sets", i.e., Chat Filter "sets". (Options - Chat Filters).
When I'm raiding, for example, I turn a lot of filters on, as having all that spam is really quite useless, even in another chat window.
Commands:
/fisave filterset
/fiload filterset
For example, you could have one called "temp", by setting up your filters how you want them, then typing: /fisave temp
At any time after that, if you want to load that set you would use: /fiload temp
If you join a raid, and a set called 'raid' does not exist, it will be created with the current settings. What you should do, is either "preset" your raid set (set your chat filters, then do /fsave raid), or, after you join a raid, do the same (set chat filters, and /fisave raid).
There are 2 built-in sets: raid & default. The plugin will warn you if either of those sets do not exist when it first saves them, to remind you to verify your chat filters & then overwrite the raid or default set if needed.
This is important to remember, as EQ does not keep chat filters based on char and/or server, it is global. So if you are raiding on WarriorX, and have filters set a certain way, then log out & later log in WizardY, then the filters are still set the way WarriorX had them when raiding.
The plugin saves sets by server/charname (MQ2FilterSet_server_charname.ini), so once you have the basics set up via either copy/paste, or just setting them then doing /fisave default, each char will automatically have the proper filters loaded each time you go into game.
When you first log in, the 'default' set will be loaded.
If you join a raid, the 'raid' set will be loaded.
If you leave a raid, the previously loaded set will be reloaded, or 'default' if a specific one was not previously loaded.
Nothing monumental, but I find it useful.
The plugin will warn you in the MQ2 window (in red text) the first time it saves a given filter set that does not exist, to make sure you check that it's the way you want it to be.
Edit: DLL included in compile, no longer attached here.
