Chat filter

[ChillerT]

Hello,

i'm looking for an Addon, which can block / hide some bad words and some systemmessages.
BadBoy dous not work. So are there other good Addons?

Or is there an easy way to write a small addon quickly for hiding one specific Systemmessage?

Thanks in Advance

BadBoy is a spam blocking addon -- it only blocks gold selling ads, power leveling ads, and other actual spam like that. You probably want BadBoy_CCleaner, which lets you input a list of words to block. However, it won't block system messages, as it's designed to block player messages in public channels.

For system messages, something like this will work:

local SystemBlacklist = {
    "has come online",
    "has joined the raid group",
    "has defeated %S+ in a duel",
}
ChatFrame_AddMessageEventFilter("CHAT_MSG_SYSTEM", function(_, _, message)
    for i = 1, #SystemBlacklist do
        if strmatch(message, SystemBlacklist[i]) then
            return true
        end
    end
end)

If you can't use BadBoy_CCleaner for some reason (for example, if you need pattern/regex support) then you can do something similar for other message types:

local ChatBlacklist = {
    "grats",
    "ding",
    "other bad words",
}
local ChatEvents = {
    "CHAT_MSG_SAY",
    "CHAT_MSG_YELL",
    "CHAT_MSG_WHISPER",
    "CHAT_MSG_CHANNEL",
    "CHAT_MSG_GUILD",
    "CHAT_MSG_PARTY",
    "CHAT_MSG_RAID",
    "CHAT_MSG_INSTANCE_CHAT",
}
local function ChatFilter(_, _, message)
    for i = 1, #ChatBlacklist do
        if strmatch(message, ChatBlacklist[i]) then
            return true
        end
    end
end
for _, event in pairs(ChatEvents) do
    ChatFrame_AddMessageEventFilter(event, ChatFilter)
end

Use http://addon.ziuo.net/ to turn the above code snippets into addons.

Just adding that there is an addon workaround for the specific UIFrame* taint in the form of LibChatAnims (and embedded in BlizzBugsSuck)

It's not ideal but you don't have to 'live with it' until Blizzard fixes it (that could take a couple expansions if past taint history is any indication)

Thanks for your replys.
Because of i'm from Germany, i had problems to follow your conversation.
but the last Posts wouldnt help me.

I'm looking for a way to filter specific System-Messages. I dont need a beautiful Ingame-Control.
An Addon with just some single rows is all what i need.

I tried this tool "System Message Control Tool". But this tool just color my messages, and i'm not able to hide just one, two specific Messages.

So i need just some code, which hide System messages with specific letters. e.g.
if the System-message contained the words "system realm restart", please hide it, all other system messages show.

Do you know what i mean. Important is, that i dont want to use complete other chats like Chatter.

Thank you very much in advance

Well if you don't want to use (or can't) Phanx's code you can give ErrorMonster a try.

It has an option to filter system messages and add custom filters.

You'll need to tick "load out of date" at the addon selection screen or edit the ##Interface: line in .toc to 50200.

Ok, sorry for that, but i think i have to read better...

local SystemBlacklist = { "has come online", "has joined the raid group", "has defeated %S+ in a duel", } ChatFrame_AddMessageEventFilter("CHAT_MSG_SYSTEM", function(_, _, message) for i = 1, #SystemBlacklist do if strmatch(message, SystemBlacklist[i]) then return true end end end)

= Works brilliant.... Thank you all very much :-*
