Description
This plugin allows you to filter out lines that would go to your chat windows. Any lines that are filtered out, will not be shown in game. Good for spammers or other types of annoyances.
Note: If you have timestamps active, either through the default MQ settings, or with MQ2Timestamp loaded, the filtering will fail.
Configuration
The plugin is configured via an INI file. Entries are a substring search, and are NOT case sensitive. Using /chatfilter without parameters will show command syntax.
Default settings for new characters added to the plugin INI file are read from [CF_Settings] and [CF_Filters]. Otherwise, they are read from [CF_Settings_Server_Char] and [CF_Filters_Server_Char].
Example of a character named Bubba on the Povar server:
[CF_Settings_Povar_Bubba]
[CF_Filters_Povar_Bubba]
Sample Configuration
MQ2ChatFilter.ini
[CF_Settings] DefaultState=on SpamFilter=on [CF_Filters] Filter1=www.gm963.com Filter2=www.gmworker.com Filter3=surrounded by the aura of the muse
Configuration Explanation
- DefaultState: Controls the state of the plugin when you first log into game. If DefaultState=on, then filtering is enabled as soon as the plugin is loaded.
- filter#: Where # = 1, 2, etc. See the example above. I.e., Filter1=www.gm963.com would filter out any chat lines with www.gm963.com in it, before you ever saw the chat line in game.
