[Request] Chat Contact Notificaiton Spam Filter

heyguyslol · 07/20/14, 04:31 PM

I am sick of seeing in my chat when my contacts/friends switch chars or go on/offline. It's literally turned into spam because most of us use mules and have hirelings so we have to switch chars several times so when u have friends that all do this the chat notifications are spamming up my chat.

Is there an AddOn or way to disable these notifications? I don't care when my contacts go on/offline or when they switch chars it's really very annoying.

I don't know if there is an addon, but this line of code should disable firend status changes:

Lua Code:

ZO_PreHook(ZO_ChatSystem_GetEventHandlers(), EVENT_FRIEND_PLAYER_STATUS_CHANGED, function() return true end)

EDIT:
Another method:

Lua Code:

ZO_ChatSystem_AddEventHandler(EVENT_FRIEND_PLAYER_STATUS_CHANGED, function() end)

If you wnat to use this code, copy&paste it to the very end of any .lua file in your addons folder.

If you prefer making a new addon:

In your Addons folder create folder named "SilentFriends".
create text file "SilentFriends.txt" and copy&paste this text to the file:
Code:
```
## APIVersion: 100007

SilentFriends.lua
```

create text file "SilentFriends.lua" and copy&paste this text to the file:

Lua Code:

EVENT_MANAGER:RegisterForEvent("SilentFriends", EVENT_PLAYER_ACTIVATED, function(event)
    EVENT_MANAGER:UnregisterForEvent("SilentFriends", event)
    EVENT_MANAGER:UnregisterForEvent("ChatSystem_OnEventId" .. EVENT_FRIEND_PLAYER_STATUS_CHANGED, EVENT_FRIEND_PLAYER_STATUS_CHANGED)
    ZO_ChatSystem_GetEventHandlers()[EVENT_FRIEND_PLAYER_STATUS_CHANGED] = nil
end)

EDIT:
Addon is attached, so just download and install it the same way as any other addons.
