About:

Suppresses specified messages from the server console. There is an extension for [ANY] game with the exact same functionality. I created this to demonstrate another method and because some [L4D/2] server owners don't look at stuff for [ANY] game and have been complaining about server console spam.

This only stops messages which are inside the games "server" or "engine" library if you specify that in the gamedata. This cannot suppress dynamic messages such as those from chat or plugins.

I would suggest using [ANY] Cleaner - Console warning supressor extension instead.



Adding Entries:

• Open the gamedata .txt and duplicate the last entry from "Addresses" and "Signatures" sections.
• When duplicating for example "SpamPatch_Sig1" you must change the number to be 1 more than the last entry.
• If any numbers are missing it will stop looking for more, so the numbers must be sequential.
• Enter the string you want to block from it's first character otherwise they still show in console.
• The string should be long enough to be unique but is not required to be full length.

Changes:

1.3b (20-Jul-2021)
    - Fixed a few messages not being patched. GameData file updated.

1.3a (10-Jul-2021)

Is this the role of reducing server crashes?
Or just filtering spam from the console?

I've tried to suppress this spam msg in the console when using this plugin https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=318033 and it doesn't seem to work. Did I set the config wrong?

logic_script executing script: loadout_index_0

[Silvers]

Theres nothing wrong with the config you posted. Whether it'll suppress the message I don't know.

[moekai]

You're right. I don't think this can suppress spam from the other plugin. I used the [ANY] Cleaner extension and it works.
