devnull

Table of Contents

16.04.10 New Version:
- Uses Message Groups and Event Filters
- Uses WoWAce Localization feature
- Added LDB support

/dev/null makes your life in WoW more pleasant by ignoring various chat annoyances.

Thanks to Jncl for all his work on this addon.

When you enter a capital city:

It will ignore people who /yell. It will ignore spammy NPCs (ie. Ironforge bread vendor, Topper McNab in Stormwind etc). It will ignore duel spam (A has defeated B in a duel). It will ignore emotes except those directed at yourself. It will ignore drunk spam (X looks tipsy). It will ignore tradeskill spam.

When you enter an instance or battleground: It will mute the general channel.

All features can be toggled with the slash command /devnull.

If I leave the mob/NPC yells active (not muted) in the General tab, the addon keeps turning on Yells for EVERY chat frame, not just the main chat one, so I'm spammed with them even where they should not appear (like other addons frames, ie HitsMode5).

If "Chat Feedback" is turned on, then the current mode will be printed to the chat window every time the player is feared or charmed while in an instance:

<party zones in>
devnull: Instance mode enabled
<party pulls some mob that fears>
<player gets feared>
devnull: Instance mode enabled
<player gets feared later in the same fight>
devnull: Instance mode enabled

It's due to the use of PLAYER_CONTROL_LOST/PLAYER_CONTROL_GAINED events, and assuming that the player is always on a taxi when those fire. The fact that UnitOnTaxi() doesn't immediately return correct values isn't helping, but that's Blizzard's bug.

I'm testing this change:

--- devnull.lua.orig 2010-11-09 13:23:19.062500000 -0500
+++ devnull.lua 2010-11-10 17:17:09.312500000 -0500
@@ -705,14 +705,14 @@
end

-- if flying then disable events
- if event == "PLAYER_CONTROL_LOST" then
+ if event == "PLAYER_CONTROL_LOST" and not InCombatLockdown() then
self:UnregisterAllEvents()
self:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_CONTROL_GAINED", "CheckMode")
onTaxi = true
self.DBObj.text = updateDBtext()
return
-- if finished flying then enable events
- elseif event == "PLAYER_CONTROL_GAINED" then
+ elseif event == "PLAYER_CONTROL_GAINED" and not InCombatLockdown() then
self:UnregisterEvent(event)
enableEvents()
onTaxi = false

(dunno how that's going to format in these comments)
Players in combat can't take taxis, and all PLAYER_CONTROL_* events other than taxis take place in combat. So the idea is to avoid any taxi-related code during a fight.

That's solved the redundant spam problem, but I want to make sure it's not going to misbehave in other places.

Hi,

Fixed the localization error, sorry about that.

Also added an achievement filter to allow Guild/Party/Raid achievements to be seen if required.

I think the current package is missing LibDataBroker. I kept receiving an error that it was required. I tried reinstalling the addon but it didn't help. I found another addon that uses LBD and copied it (the lbd folder) into the libs folder of devnull and it seems to work.

@cpy, lol

@JLBurnett04: - it will filter ALL Achievement messages if you turn them off
- most Instance/Battleground messages are left as is, the General, LocalDefense & WorldDefense channels are removed from ChatFrame1 when you enter an Instance/Battleground, what messages would you like filtering ?

When you enter a raid, you often see this:

Player1 has joined the raid.
Player2 has joined the raid.
Player3 has joined the raid.
Player4 has joined the raid.
Player5 has joined the raid.

I'd like to see:
Player1, Player2, Player3, Player4, Player5 have joined the raid.

Same thing really with achievements. I dont want all of them filtered from my party or guild chat. That makes it really confusing when someone in guild says "grats" to someone and I have no idea why. I just want them grped. Instead of seeing lines and lines of names like with joining/leaving a raid, I'd like to just see one message listing everyone who got the achievement.

HOWEVER, I would like the random achievements of people standing next to me in the AH or the mailbox to be filtered. If they're not in my guild or in my party I don't need to know that they have a plethora of pets.

Also, I dont need to see everyone in my raid or party looting their Emblems of Frost. I only want to see that I got mine, and I dont care about their spam. I don't need to see their Stone Keeper's Shards or Emblems of Triumph or Crusader Mark or Badge of Justice.

Does this mod grp things like 10 ppl in your guild all getting the same achievement? Or a bunch of ppl all joining the raid at the same time?

And what about badge spam?

The new emotes feature is working nicely. It would be nice if I could see emotes that I make as well. It would also be nice if I could see my own yells, etc., as well.

I'd like to ignore yells in capital cities, but I'm not sure I'd like to ignore them in instances (Help me! I'm web wrapped) or battlegrounds (FC exiting via our tunnel). Can you add an option please?

Hi,

Just posted a new update:

Updated to use Ace3 libraries

Won't suppress Emotes directed at the player, I hope

Pet Info (e.g. eating) can be suppressed now

Dalaran & Area52 are now quieter

Hello. Sorry for dropping off the face of the earth (or WoW as it is). I just checked my Curse inbox, and it's empty. I don't know in which ways people have tried to contact me, but I haven't gotten any messages.

Anyways, it seems jncl has more or less taken over devnull. Maybe I'll add code to it again some time if/when I get back into WoW. Which I'm afraid might happen soon. My sister is bugging me non-stop to try out WoW 3.0 :)
