Loot Message Filter

Version: 0.92

by: fremion [More]

This simple addon filters loot messages from other players in your group, based on item quality.

It can effectively prevent loot spam such as junk items, broken bones, lovely charms, mage food, common items, quest items, etc.

By default, it hides loot messages from group members below Uncommon.
Threshold is modified using the /lmf command and saved per character.
Examples: "/lmf 0", "/lmf poor", "/lmf common", "/lmf 1"

The available threshold settings are as below:

0 = Poor (No filtering)
1 = Common
2 = Uncommon
3 = Rare
4 = Epic
5 = Legendary
6 = Artifact
7 = Heirloom
8 = Filter all

v0.92
Almost complete rewrite
Improved method for filtering.
Improved method for differentiating group's loot messages from player's own loot.
Improved slash command.
Threshold value saved per character.

v0.90
TOC bump

v0.72
Update TOC to 70300
Added slash command (/lmf) to change minRarity in game

v0.71
Fixed the folder structure inside the zip file

v0.7

v0.5

v0.4

No LUA errors.

Hi, you might be using another addon registering the same "/lmf" command. Could you please try "/lootmessagefilter #" as an alternative?

You should use like; "/lootmessagefilter 3" or "/lootmessagefilter rare"

Please let me know of the outcome.

FYI, the next version will utilize the interface options and it will be much easier to configure.

Great guess! Yes, another addon had registered the /lmf command. I hadn't even stopped to consider Blizz might allow conflicting slash commands. Thank you so much.

Oh, I didn't realize it wasn't intended to hide my own grays. I'm sorry about the confusion. Tyvm for explaining and for the update!

I'll apply the fix you mentioned.

Thank you again!

I see.. The addon has not been intended to filter messages from self loot. But after the recent improvements in the code, I can implement this easily and efficiently. Please give me around a week.

Background: When I developed the addon about 7-8 years ago, the default UI was already allowing players to choose the minimum threshold for self loot chat messages. But the spam from other players' actions were an issue, especially during the festive times (e.g., lovely charms). Besides, I was not interested in the junk items looted by my friends, thus I developed the code and made it public after a few years.

For now, if you'd like this functionality please change the line 16 from the latest version from:

Code:

if itemRarity and (itemRarity < minRarity) and (looter ~= activeplayer) then

to:

Code:

if itemRarity and (itemRarity < minRarity) then --and (looter ~= activeplayer) then

I am planning to implement this functionality in a more proper way with slash commands and different self/group thresholds in the coming days.

This was with LootMsgFilter v0.92.1b.

I checked the code and did a ton of improvements to make it more efficient, eye candy as well as future proof. As far as I could test, it seems to be working. But I have not made it to Torghast myself yet, hence no testing there.

A quick question: when you say that you continue to see loot messages for gray items, you mean the loot messages from group members, right?

Hi!

Many thanks for reporting the error.

I have not stepped into Torghast yet. I was still thinking about which class to main in SL while leveling all of them at the same time, lol

Thus I was not aware of the issue.

Anyway, looking at the code, I see that I could have done a better job in the first place. I am planning to fix the add-on at the earliest in a future-proof way. But, I cannot verify&confirm the solution until I can actually test it in Torghast, which will be around 10 days.

I would imagine they mean to have it filter their loot as well as party/raid members. So when soloing, your chat window with loot doesn't have a ton of entries for grey/white items, etc.

As far as I remember, solo filtering was already possible without any addons.

This is really helpful for the new 7.3 fishing friends.

omg! I am very surprised and pleased to see that someone liked my little addon, to the extent of taking time to improve it

I am not playing wow nowadays, but I may come back for 8.0
I am adding you to the addon team list. Please feel free to update it as you please. If you do not want to be in the list, please do not hesitate to ping me here and I will remove you.

Thank you
