How to Use the MacroMod's Chat Filter

[Rida_]

With /ignore not currently working, I figured this would be a good time to make a separate post explaining how to manually ignore those certain people who just get on your nerves. First, you need to get to the chat filter.

Then, you can type in what you want it to filter, using the format:

Spoiler

IFMATCHES(%CHATCLEAN%, "TEXT YOU WANT IT TO FIND");
FILTER();
ENDIF();

It will find that text, and filter out any line containing that message. For example, say a player named Minecraftian192 was getting on your nerves. You could type

Spoiler

IFMATCHES(%CHATCLEAN%, "Minecraftian192:");
FILTER();
ENDIF();IFMATCHES(%CHATCLEAN%, "Minecraftian192(.+?):");
FILTER();
ENDIF();

This will edit out anything that person says. There are two parts, one for a name with and one for a name without a suffix. There are other handy things you can do, like

Spoiler

IFMATCHES(%CHATCLEAN%, "No experience gained - block");
FILTER();
ENDIF;

to block out the messages you get when placing certain blocks.


There are a load of other things this can be used for. The macro mod is a powerful tool, and I recommend everyone explore it!
