Chat Filter Category Modification

Furinex · #1 05-18-2013, 10:19 AM

I would like to discuss the chat filter categories and see if we can modify this. Currently, and this is just one example, the category labeled "Other" has multiple items in it that dont make sense. Why would my Druid DOTs show up in the category instead of under the spells category? But Money, Cons, and various other things show up in this "Other" category. I feel like this can be modified somehow, but I'm not sure where to start. Does anyone have any idea how we can go about doing this?

There's no way to alter the filters.

I would have agreed with you yesterday. But, I've Figured it out sorta. Ended up messing up all the filters but after I sort them and find what function does what... Ill post the how to.

Consider me curious. People were complaining about not being able to filter DoTs well after LDoN on live.

I was wondering this also and would be interested in helping with your project if you need. kind of just like how that classic spellfile community project is going strong

Subscribing.

If you have a fix for this I will love you forever.

Well since there's plenty of interested in this, I'll keep working on it. I hit a slight road block, and maybe thats where people have gotten before, Im not sure, but... Something that gives me a decent amount of hope... I was able to completely screw up my chat filters by editing the lines in the UI_name_server file.

Code:

ChannelMap0=0
ChannelMap1=0
ChannelMap2=0
ChannelMap3=0
ChannelMap4=0
ChannelMap5=0
ChannelMap6=0
ChannelMap7=0
ChannelMap8=0
ChannelMap9=1
ChannelMap10=1
ChannelMap11=2
ChannelMap12=0
ChannelMap13=0
ChannelMap14=0
ChannelMap15=0
ChannelMap16=0
ChannelMap17=0
ChannelMap18=0
ChannelMap19=0
ChannelMap20=0
ChannelMap21=0
ChannelMap22=0
ChannelMap23=1
ChannelMap24=1
ChannelMap25=1
ChannelMap26=1
ChannelMap27=1
ChannelMap28=1
ChannelMap29=1
ChannelMap30=1
ChannelMap31=1
ChannelMap32=1
ChannelMap33=1
ChannelMap34=1
ChannelMap35=1
ChannelMap36=1
ChannelMap37=1
ChannelMap38=1
ChannelMap39=1
ChannelMap40=1
ChannelMap41=1
ChannelMap42=2
ChannelMap43=1
ChannelMap44=1
ChannelMap45=1
ChannelMap46=1
ChannelMap47=2
ChannelMap48=0
ChannelMap49=2
ChannelMap50=0
ChannelMap51=1
ChannelMap52=0
ChannelMap53=0

Apparently, there are roughly 100 channelmaps, and the EQclient.ini only has 53 of them in there. I added the other 37, and started changing them to different windows. Something I did find... Here. Unfortunately, the link he provided no longer works. I would LOVE to get my hands on this information. It would make this process much easier. Also, this file seems to call the chat filter from another file. Editing this file might give us more control as well. I will post again with another update when I have one.
