Description
ntAlertCleaner is an addon to redirect alert, warning and scroll banner messages to a chat tab, so that you can keep your game window clean without spamming alerts such as "must face target" or "cooling down".
Features
- Redirects alert, warning and scroll banner messages to a chat tab. The default is chat tab 1, but you can change it by editing configuration.
- Avoids spam. When a same message is issued successively (which i call as spam), it is shown only once.
- Ignore/show. You can specify which type of messages are shown every time, and which type of messages are never shown at all.
Basic usage
- Just install. When you log in, you will see a red message pop up "ntAC: redirected to chat tab 1".
- As the default, the messages are redirected to the chat tab 1, the general chat tab.
- As the default, the messages that contain the following key words are shown every time: "quest", "item"
- As the default, the messages that contain the following key words or phrases are never shown:
- "equipment does not need repairing",
- "juice courier",
- "cooling down",
- "invalid target",
- "target dead",
- "please close the mail interface before continuing",
- "the target is dead",
- "opening the loot interface failed",
- "you need to be standing to cast magic"
Advanced usage
- You can change settings of this addon through editing the configuration file. (Sorry no config GUI)
- Open "config.lua" (in the folder ...Interface/AddOns/ntAlertCleaner/ ) with notepad (of windows) or any editor you like.
- I added many comments in the config file, so that you can easily change the settings as you like.
- Save and restart the client, then the addon works with your new configuration.
- The default configuration is as follows.
