Tidy Chat
Significantly improve the readability of your chat window.

Description:

This plugin simply filters out extraneous chat messages in TF2 (works for other mods). Those include:

Quote:

[TF2] (Voice): (Voice) xxx: MEDIC! (Spy!, Incoming, Help!)
[TF2] Change class: *You will respawn as Medic or *You will spawn as Medic
[TF2] Arena max streak: Team BLU reached 3 wins! Teams are now being scrambled.
[TF2] Arena team resize: Team size is increasing/decreasing to 3 to accommodate the current player count.
Server cvar change: Server cvar 'sv_tags' changed to alltalk,increased_maxplayers,payload
Connect: Player xxx has joined the game
Disconnect: Player xxx has left the game
Team change: Player xxx has joined team RED

ConVars:
There's a cvar for every message type, so you may choose to not block one. They are all on by default.

Quote:

sm_tidychat_on 1 // 0/1 - On/off
sm_tidychat_voice 1 // 0/1 - Tidy (Voice) messages
sm_tidychat_connect 0 // 0/1 - Tidy connect messages
sm_tidychat_disconnect 0 //0/1 - Tidy disconnect messages
sm_tidychat_class 1 // 0/1 - Tidy class change messages
sm_tidychat_team 1 // 0/1 - Tidy team join messages
sm_tidychat_arena_resize 1 // 0/1 - Tidy arena resize messages
sm_tidychat_arena_maxstreak 1 // 0/1 - Tidy arena team scramble
sm_tidychat_cvar 1 // 0/1 - Tidy cvar messages

There's a special cvar: sm_tidychat_alltext that is off by default. Turning it on will block most text from third-party plugins.

Note: This will not block [SM] messages! There is a perfectly good cvar to do that already! sm_show_activity You can edit its value in cfg/sourcemod/sourcemod.cfg.

Re: [TF2] Tidy Chat

oh wow. This is a great addition, I have been waiting for such a plugin for a long, long time.

Re: [TF2] Tidy Chat

This is great! Now if someone's banned and is trying to spam my server with "has joined the game", they'll fail.

Similar to this but a little more.

I had been looking at that, but like you said, this goes a little farther.

This plugin won't cause problems with your other plugins, too!

In the future I might add the ability to block achievement notification messages, or weapon pickups. It's always annoying to get flooded by a player getting 20 weapons at once, because they idled for the past 3 days. :)

Re: [TF2] Tidy Chat

The best thing about that plugin was blocking player moved to spectator for admins.

Re: [TF2] Tidy Chat

good idea, especially with the people connecting. Ban someone, and they change their name to ADMINS ARE {BADWORDS} and connect spam over 9000 times.

I think i might have a kewl trick for you. I don't think you have to return Plugin_Handled and fire a non-broadcasted copy of the event.

If you change dontBroadcast to true, then return Plugin_Changed, it should have the same effect.

:D

Re: [TF2] Tidy Chat

Neat trick, indeed. I never tried that. Less code is better, updated!
