Question - Chat Filtering (mq2mfilter)

[katkid15]

Recently I switched from a very old version of mq2 to a newer compile. It seems over the years that an old plugin mq2mfilter is no longer around since I can't find any mention of it around and the dll I have can not be loaded by a newer version of MQ2. It allowed you to set an ini file of text that would be 'blocked' from chat. It would block the whole line that the text appeared in, so if you gave it something like "beams a smile at" it would filter out all those life tap proc messages. No need to set anything inside of EQ with those filters, it would just remove that line from chat windows.

Is there a way to do this in VVMQ2?

I don't know that the feature currently exists in VV MQ2. Though it's not a bad idea for a plugin. Seems like it would be pretty easy to create.

I only say that it would be easy to do because I've filtered all EQ chat out on accident before, having found my mistake previously, I already know how I could accomplish it haha.

Core MQ2 has a filtering system built into it. Believe it just overrides /filter. But you can add a filter for any text.

@Knightly
How do I change / edit / add to it? /filter in mq2 just pulls up the options pane for the in-EQ filters and prints out to mq2 chat the list of things MQ2 can mass filter, the same as setting 0 or 1 at the top of the macroquest ini.

Look at the example section, would show you how to add one.

Made myself a hotkey so I can quickly add mobs.

/filter name add ${Target.CleanName}

Also added some of the spammers, so now when mq2 is running they are not irritating me, no need to do it on each toon either.
