Author Topic: Module to synchronize ignore lists across toons? (Read 7960 times)

Anyone have ideas on a module to synch ignore lists across all of your characters so that you don't have to keep adding the spammers and griefers every time you swap toons?
Database already keeps track of your alts, so would have to add an "ignore" table, and then either read in your ignore list somehow from aoc, then read back the list with commands to add to your ignore list, or alternatively, maybe have a !ignore add <name> command to add an entry, and !ignore del <name> to remove them, and then a !ignore update <alt name or all> to replicate the ignore list for each alt, and an !ignore publish command to output to chat the list with the /ignore command to chat for the currently logged on character?

you could create a script file for to put in your aoc/scripts folder with /ignore commands and then just run that on all your toons

Code: (ignorelist.txt) [Select]

/ignore jack
/ignore iznok
/ignore tyree
/ignore ....

then in game on all your toons:
/ignorelist.txt

As far as I know theres no way to do this easily in game though to be fair I've not tried to issue /ignore commands from a blob. If you can it's trivial to do, otherwise it's a bit of a ballache to code but easy in concept.

What you could do is to use the bot to maintain a list, export that list to a website, generate a txt file there with /ignore <player> for each entry and then download that to your /scripts folder and run it from there.

You might even be able to create a little script file as a way to add or delete automatically. Create a script "addp" and do /cc addbddy <player> then do a !ignore <player> tell to the bot.

It's technically possible to get something working I think but theres few around now with enough interest to do it. The suggestion above to just write it into a txt file when you ignore someone is easier and achieves the same thing

Good luck

In AO the ignore list is a setting of the native AO client, not a function of the chat servers. You still get the chat messages from the ignored character, the are just filtered out by the client software. We do the same on BeBot, if the character is on the ignore (ban) list the bot simply doesn't respond to the user.
