Get Off My Lawn!

Version: 1.3

by: Nirrudn [More]

An ongoing project to remove annoyances from the game, primarily by filtering chat messages.

If you want to filter out things like duel messages, drinking spam, dual-spec skill spam, or certain exceptionally annoying NPCs, this addon is for you. If it doesn't block it, request it and I'll see what I can do!

Full list of blocking features:

* Serenity Mute - Mutes the game audio while you have the Serenity buff on at the Wrathgate.
* Arcanist Braedin - Blocks /yells from this NPC.
* Ability Spam - Hides "You have (un)learned..." class and pet ability messages.
* Duel Messages - Hides chat messages about duels.
* Drinking Messages - Hides "Soandso looks tipsy..." etc.
* Argent Tournament - Mutes various Tournament NPCs that chatter a lot
* Emblem/Mark Loot - Hides Emblem, Shard, and Mark messages that aren't yours.
* Popcap Games - Hides Peggle and Bejeweled guild messages.
* Necrosis - Filter out all Necrosis addon speech (English only for now).
* Deserter Agitator - Hide the chatter from this NPC in Theramore.
* Raid Joins/Leaves - Condenses raid join/leave messages into blocks similar to Battlegrounds
* General Raid Mute - Hides General chat when in a raid group outside of Wintergrasp.
* Fail Mods - Hides "Soandso fails at suchandsuch" type raid messages.
* Winter Time - Blocks guildchat messages from the WinterTime addon.
* Auction House Messages - Blocks them while in a party/raid.
* Trade Chat Filter - Filter out the junk from the Trade channel. Not recommended for non-English clients/servers
* Achievement Clustering - Want just a few lines of chat instead of 25 when your guild gets a new achievement? This is for you.
* City Chatter - NPCs cluttering up your chatbox about buying their fresh baked bread? Not anymore!

v1.3:
* Auction House Messages box will now filter more messages, but only while in a party or raid.
* VERY simple "Trade Chat Filter" added, my attempt to remove the garbage chatter from Trade on my server.
* Achievement Clustering added, similar to Raid Joins/Leaves but for Achievements. Hard to test this one, so let me know how it works.

----

v1.2.5:
* Champion's Seals will be filtered by the Emblem/Mark box now.
* The "Fail Mods" box will now filter fail messages from the raid leader too.
* New option: "Auction House Messages" by request, filters out the "A buyer has been found..." message. (untested)

----

v1.2.4:
* Added "Winter Time" box to filter out guildchat messages from the WinterTime addon

----

v1.2.3:
* Hopefully fixed the problems with settings not saving, please let me know!
* Fix for the loot error
* Added Emblems of Triumph to the Emblems filter option

----

v1.2.2:
* .toc bump for 3.2
* Raid Joins/Leaves box is now functional

----

v1.2:
* Fixed some issues with the Necrosis button, it no longer requires a reload
* Basic localization support added. If you would like to help, check out localization.lua!
* French and German localization mostly implemented
* Slight optimization to the Ability Spam box functionality
* Various bug fixes

----

v1.1:
* Added "Fail Mods" checkbox to block "Soandso fails at suchandsuch" raid messages
* Necrosis checkbox is now functional
* Serenity Mute box should now properly restore game sound instead of leaving it off

----

v1.0:
* Total rewrite of the GUI.
* Added Popcap Games checkbox to remove guildchat messages from Peggle and Bejeweled.
* Added Deserter Agitator checkbox to squelch the Theramore NPCs of the same name by request.
* Added General Raid Mute checkbox to mute General chat while in a (non-Wintergrasp) raid group.

----

v0.5:
* Hopefully fixed the issue with blocking things the addon's not supposed to.
* Hopefully fixed the problems with the saved variables not saving, too.

----

v0.4:
* Added "Emblem Loot" checkbox to block Emblem loot messages that aren't yours.
* Hopefully a fix for the cases where settings weren't saving for some people. There's now a message when no saved variables are detected, please let me know if you see it.

----

v0.3:
* Added "Argent Tournament" checkbox to mute various /yells and /says by NPCs there.
* Changelog.txt included in the zip file.

----

v0.2:
* Fixed "Skill Messages" button hiding recipe learns, they'll show up again now.
* Added "Duel Messages" button to remove all duel-related messages
* Added "Drinking Messages" button to remove "Soandso looks a little tipsy..." and the like.
* Added tooltips for all checkboxes for a better explanation.
* The Serenity checkbox should no longer attempt to re-enable sound effects if you had them disabled when the addon was loaded.

----

v0.1:

3 Checkboxes exist under the in-game AddOns menu:

* Serentiy: Mutes the game audio while you have the Serenity buff active near the Wrathgate, to silence the loud screams.
* Arcanist Braedin: Filters out Arcanist Braedin's "Reinforcements are needed..." /yell while the Wintergrasp battle is going on.
* Skill Spam: Removes the "You have (un)learned..." messages. No more spec swapping eating up half your chat buffer!

Don't care, don't want to see the spam. It gets REALLY annoying when multiple fails occur. 2) Any of the 'RP' mods that put crap out like 'Dooshbhag's pet wolf Nhutsak licks his balls, then wags his tail contentedly.' -- can your addon block this stuff too? That would be awesome. So far the list of things you block made me jump for joy! Especially happy about the Wrathgate stuff and the stupid Peggle/Bejeweled crap. Again -- don't care if someone becomes a bejeweled master. Thank you so much for this addon! ^_^

Agreed, and easily done. I saw one of these mods in action for the first time the other night, and it spammed the heck out of raid chat. I've already added this in for the next update, thanks for the suggestion!

2) Any of the 'RP' mods that put crap out like 'Dooshbhag's pet wolf Nhutsak licks his balls, then wags his tail contentedly.' -- can your addon block this stuff too? That would be awesome.

It's doable, but I would need specific exact messages and/or the name of the addon in question so I can pull them out myself. Someone requested a filter for the Necrosis mod for example, and I have that in place for next version as well.

Although I worry if I do too many of these type of filters it may impact performance to a noticeable degree, but I suppose at that point people can just choose to not enable them if they become a problem.

Glad you're liking the addon so far. There's actually a bug I need to squash with the Wrathgate feature, the sound never re-enables like I intended it to.

Thanks, total newbie mistake on my part, should be correct in the next update.

Re: Re: Block Requests!

Does this filter out the custom Necrosis messages, because you can add your own messages instead of the default ones.

Unfortunately not, as I need to know the exact text to properly filter it. I have support for blocking all the default speech only. The number of messages to block is limitless in theory, but I think the default list will block probably 90% of it.

Dyspeptic A Deviate Faerie Dragon Forum posts: 17 File comments: 28 Uploads: 2	I don't actually use this mod (yet) but I did notice a couple piece's of delightful Blizzard spam not included in your list that I feel should be filtered. These would be those sodding kids running around Stormwind fighting over a doll.....while we are in Stormwind lets turn off all that "We found a death night may we hang him?" spam (spot the monty python fan) anytime a newly made DK (or one that couldnt be arsed to finnish the last quest in SW) enters town. Various other alliance city spam I can think of, like that stumpy bread seller in Ironforge, the 2 old soldiers talking crap in SW etc etc. All this junk gets on my tits when I'm on my bank alt trying to do a little buisiness and having to scroll back to see if that epic in trade chat was something my alt could use or at a price I could maybe make a profit on.

Thanks! I just think those mods are mean, unnecessary, and stupidly spammy. =)

I'll have to see if I can't get the name(s) of the addon(s). You have a valid concern about the performance stuff though, anyway -- keep up the great work!

I just hit Ctrl-S to mute the sound effects while I was sitting in Dalaran, and a few seconds later the sound effects turned back on. After disabling GOML, this problem went away. I didn't have the Serenity mute option set.

Whoops, I guess I didn't code that feature properly then. Thanks, I'll see if I can get it only re-enabling sound when you lose the Serenity buff for the next release!

In a prior post I said I'd try to find out the name of the addon or addons that do the spammy pet emotes, well, I found one! Pet Emote I'd love to see that drivel filtered if you are so inclined. =)
