TradeFilter

Version: v3.5.1

by: evonder [More]

A Simple World of Warcraft Spam Filter!
Please help localize this project Here

TradeFilter does not only filter trade but has the ability to filter General, LookingforGroup, Say and Yell channels all which are configurable through the blizzard options panel.

Channel Filters
TradeFilter has a set of patterns for trade channel and separate set of patterns for all other channels, or "base" channels as we will call them. This allows the user to define what patterns may be good for trade but not other channels and vise versa. The user also has the ability to add patterns of their own to be matched against for both trade and "base" channel filters.

Default Channel Filters

Black and White Lists
TradeFilter also has a built in Black and White list. Refer to the flowchart for how Black and White lists are checked.

Default Black/White Lists

Configuration

Code:

/tf or /filter

I think you must put this sentence somewhere we can easily find it (I was puzzled too)

I will make some time to put English context to all items in the locale.

EDIT:: Or maybe remove the context altogether as not to cause confusion...

evonder A Defias Bandit Forum posts: 2 File comments: 28 Uploads: 1	3.0.129-beta I have uploaded the latest version(r129) as beta quality, though I think I have pretty much ironed all the bugs out. Please download the latest beta and test it out as it has a lot more configuration capabilities than prior versions. For more info on the changes please refer to the the change log on the project main page. If I don't find or receive any reports or tickets then I will push this to release. As always localization help is much appreciated. BTW sorry Contiki had to do a lot of changes in the locale file to reflect the changes in the configuration overhaul so a chunk of your previously translated items got whacked

Most of the strings are one line only. However, later on there are strings like
Code:
2[vV]2
2v2
FILTER - Baseline Filters
I wasn't sure whether you wanted users to translate just the first line or more. I went with translating the first line, the actual Lua pattern. If you'd like me to translate all three, feel free to say so.

The second is just context in English for translators and the third is the Namespace that the item belongs to.

Maybe there's a user-friendly way to allow players to turn their filters upside down without the need to edit TradeFilter3.lua.

Not quite sure what you mean by that ;P

My actual filter list has five more entries I added out of desperation. You probably know it from your server: players with a perfectly valid Trade channel sentence start off with "looking for accurate huge citrine". But they just type it out. No link, no "buying" or other terms that trigger a filter and let the sentences pass trough. Now you could allow "looking for" to pass through. It'll open Pandora's box, you'll see Trade flooded with players looking for naxx, ema, kara, arena partners and whatnot. But you could.

Yes indeed Pandora's box, I might just do some major changes to isolate trade channel filtering from LFG.... not sure if it is worth the time tbh.

That's where I had the black list in mind. I'd like to still see a player who's "looking for accurate huge citrine" but not the other guys and gals who're "looking for group" and the like ;-)

I have a Black/White list working right now, working on how it should be configured through the GUI.

Apart from working on the B/W list I am trying to find the best way to enable the ability to modify the whole table at once to add/remove items that each user would like to keep or not. I am right in the middle of unrelated paying project so getting the GUI worked out may be a few days off.

I will commit an alpha tonight containing the B/W list and locales for translations.

Thanks for the great input Contiki!

EDIT: r111 contains B/W list pattern checking, please test it if you get an opportunity. ty

Contiki A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 74 Uploads: 2	Greetings, I've added the German translation to the WowAce project page - I love these hubs where players from all over the planet come together and make add-ons more accessible ;-) Two quick notes, however, on what I did there: Of the two strings from the TOC file, namely the add-on name Trade\|cffffffffFilter\|r3 and the description Filter the *** outta trade channel, I only translated the description. The user wowuicn did the Chinese translation the same way so I thought it best to stick to the example. I'm not quite confident with the German translation though. Your English original has this nice ambiguous feel I couldn't reproduce in German. If German players see the description, they'll probably just say, "Nice, just what I want" without the smile on their face that the English version provokes. I've marked the description for review. Others can probably provide a cooler one than me. Most of the strings are one line only. However, later on there are strings like Code: 2[vV]2 2v2 FILTER - Baseline Filters I wasn't sure whether you wanted users to translate just the first line or more. I went with translating the first line, the actual Lua pattern. If you'd like me to translate all three, feel free to say so. As for the base filters, this is the list I've come up with over the course of roughly ten hours of testing during peak and off-peak hours on different days: Code: -- Clickable links that tend to show up in "good" sentences. "enchant:%d+[^%a%d]", "item:%d+[^%a%d]", "spell:%d+[^%a%d]", "trade:%d+[^%a%d]", -- Professions including slang terms and common typos. "alchi", "alchemist", "bergbau", "ingeni?eur", "ingi", "inschrift", "juw[ei]", "knack[et]n?", "kr\195\164uter", "k\195\188rschner", "leder", "schloss", "schl\195\182sser", "schmi+e?d", "schreiber", "schneider", "verzauber", "verz[%p%s]", "suche verz", "vz[%p%s]", "suche vz", "suche %s- vz", -- Indicators that players want to buy, sell or auction stuff. "biete", "[^%a]gebot", "g\195\188nstig", "kaufe", "vk[%p%s]", "wt[bs]", "im ah", "auktionshaus", "handel", "markt", -- Materials and tips, sentences that contain an amount of gold. "%d+%s?g[^%a]", "%d+%s?gold", "material", "mat[sz]", "tg[%p%s]", "%a-g[eo]ld", -- Indicators that players are looking for others to build/produce/sew stuff etc. "[^%a]bau[et]?n?", "[^%a]h?erstell[et]n?", "[^%a]n\195\164h[et]n?", -- Common products "%a-stein", "%a-stoff", "glyph", "port ", "portal", I actually started from scratch with an empty filter* table within TradeFilter3.lua. Two things to note here, too: one is that I didn't use any of the "lf tank"- and "lf healer"-type patterns but that's just me. Personally I'd like to get rid of anything related to LFG so at least for me there's no reason to actually allow tanks, healers and the lot to be part of my Trade channel. Maybe there's a user-friendly way to allow players to turn their filters upside down without the need to edit TradeFilter3.lua. My actual filter list has five more entries I added out of desperation. You probably know it from your server: players with a perfectly valid Trade channel sentence start off with "looking for accurate huge citrine". But they just type it out. No link, no "buying" or other terms that trigger a filter and let the sentences pass trough. Now you could allow "looking for" to pass through. It'll open Pandora's box, you'll see Trade flooded with players looking for naxx, ema, kara, arena partners and whatnot. But you could. That's where I had the black list in mind. I'd like to still see a player who's "looking for accurate huge citrine" but not the other guys and gals who're "looking for group" and the like ;-) Aaanyway, long story short, I hope there's at least something useful in there for the add-on. Greetings and all the best, Contiki //edit: Just took some time to test self-filtering and it works perfectly. At first I was wondering if the feature meant other players could no longer read what I was typing. Tested some regular Trade chat with a guildie to verify that, yup, others could still see what I was typing in Trade ;-) Took me a minute to figure out a way of using this neat feature if it meant others could see me babbling nonsense in Trade or in the middle of Orgrimmar. Well, not that nonsense is anything new for Orgrimmar's citizens. I went down into Ragefire Chasm, enabled the Say filter and bam, my own testing environment. Self-filtering immediately helped me fine-tune a pattern that let something unexpected slip through. Very very neat! Last edited by Contiki : 07-02-09 at 02:52 PM.

I wait for another player to repeat the line or a very similar one which can take a while.

Do you think it's worthwhile to add such a testing feature, a sandbox of sorts where players can test a sentence without actually using Trade channel? The add-on then reports whether or not that sentence would have been filtered or shown.

All the best,

Contiki

//edit: another feature I've been missing is a black list. Like, "if any of these terms appear in a sentence don't even check against the regular filter, just don't show this line". That'd be so neat ;-)

Also, I failed to mention the most important thing: THIS ADD-ON ROCKS! I've been getting more and more annoyed at people who're unwilling or incapable of using Trade for trade-related chat.

Hey Contiki, thanks for the feedback.

r105 adds the ability to not filter self so that you can test your filters out. I will see about adding a "blacklist" feature so that sentences that contain those words are just trashed and not able to slip by when a "good" string pattern is found.

Also the project needs localizations for more languages, if you could you can add them HERE. And if you get the base filter expression list translated to German I would love to see that

EDIT: I have added the base filters to the localization at project home for r107.

I updated the AddOn description to be a little more explanatory. As of now it does not block repeat ads.
