Hi folks, I've been using this script I wrote to help others filter out the credit spammers, and explain how to use the /filter command.
The great thing about filters is that they work for your entire game install, so add them once and it works for all your toons on all your accounts. No need to add on each toon.
Copy to a text file and place in your ao/scripts folder. If you dont have the scripts folder, just create it.
Code:
How to use the <a href="text://<center><br><u>In-Game Chat Filter<br><br><u>Filter on/off</u><br><a href='chatcmd:///filter enable'>/filter enable</a><br><a href='chatcmd:///filter disable'>/filter disable</a><br><br><u>List current filters</u><br><a href='chatcmd:///filter list'>/filter list</a><br><br><u>Add a filter</u><br>/filter add (text)<br><br>Example filters (click to add)<br><a href='chatcmd:///filter add [Ee][Gg][Pp][Aa][Ll]'>Add EGPAL cred spammer</a><br><a href='chatcmd:///filter add [Mm][Mm][Oo][Oo][Kk]'>Add MMOOK cred spammer</a><br><br><u>Delete a single filter</u><br>/filter del (number of filter)<br><a href='chatcmd:///filter del 0'>delete filter 0</a><br><a href='chatcmd:///filter del 1'>delete filter 1</a><br><a href='chatcmd:///filter del 2'>delete filter 2</a><br><a href='chatcmd:///filter del 3'>delete filter 3</a><br>...etc<br><br><u>Clear ALL current filters</u><br># use with caution #<br><a href='chatcmd:///filter clear'>/filter clear</a><br>">chat filter</a> to block cred spam
Hope this helps you and your org with the constant cred spam.
PS. the script includes the 2 text strings being filtered, so if you have the filters active, you won't be able to see the script either. So as not to annoy those who were smart enough to have filters added.
