Block Advertising
 

○Description

• As title suggests this is a plugin for blocking most of the adverts typed in chat. First i want to say that i know there is a similar plugin by JGHG (maybe others? but i don't remember) but this has a different approach. First, it doesn't use RegEx, i know it's powerful and flexible but not as much as this type of plugin needs because of the much cases where it can have false detects. It's based on string manipulation and can be customized in different ways. This plugin aims to block most of the adverts that can be written in chat under different forms (normal, with delimiters, white spaces, symbols, letters and so...) plus it's still in development. Before start to talk and write that something like this already exists or it can be done in a easiest way using RegEx or any other methods you know, try it! Then you may suggest improvements and post possible bugs or false detects. Thank you

○Detect
Remember, it's working for any ip format but if IP it's written without any delimiters like 123.22.4.1, an IP block (3 different blocks) must contain at least 2 digits. If IP it's written with delimiters like 1-2-3/3-1/1/2 then it must contain 3 different digits.

○Cvar

• amx_advblock (Default: "abd") - Plugin mod flags

I tested this when you posted it in the request section, good job. :up:

Re: Block Advertising
 

Wow, alka is back.

Re: Block Advertising
 

Awesome :), thanks for that x)

Re: Block Advertising
 

Well, all you just did was implement a very small subset of Regex. I highly doubt that this has fewer false positives than a properly formatted RegEx pattern. I'd like to see an efficiency comparison between this and RegEx because have quite a few native calls there for every single letter typed in chat.

Color chat does not work in all games so either remove color chat or change the the plugin to Counter-Strike only.

Re: Block Advertising
 

Nice plugin:3 I will test it.

PS: What does this mean?

Re: Block Advertising
 

Yes, removing Color Chat would be a great idea.
I think a Bypass flag is not needed.

Instead of:

You may check the length:

Change Changelog to [ code ], [ quote ] or even [ spoiler ] + [ code ] tag.

Good job!

And the greatest question is: there is no possibility to do that using RegEx?

It means an enumeration of bytes.
A byte may be checked with "&" operator.

Something wrong with this plugin...

but then i do that plugin works normaly - ColorChat Use - If you don't want to use colors in chat comment the following lines then recompile
Code:
//#include <colorchat> //#define USE_COLORCHAT

Re: Block Advertising
 

Ok. Lets start...

@fysiks - It is like a Regex subset but with more checks. I don't even bother to explain, you can check that yourself...you can make comparisons. If you bother to read about plugin modifications you will see that it can be used without colorchat too and this make it compatible for all games and not only CS.

@claudiuhks - Same about colorchat, just comment 2 lines and don't use it. You can't follow one little advice and modify a file? Really? About strlen() yeah it's a good idea, i will modify it. Code tags are useless for changelog? why would you need that? I will add spoiler tags and that it's enough for shorting the post. BYPASS_FLAG it's there for owners, maybe i want to write any website? make fun of someone? but i don't want to add in the whitelist so that anyone can write it

The greatest answer: do it yourself. I didn't say that it's not possible...just this way i can handle the false detects.

@Swat-inc - Open the log and paste the error here

Re: Block Advertising
 

in logs only this text - but then i do that //#include <colorchat> //#define USE_COLORCHAT and recompiled its works perfect ;)
