Muzzle

A LOTRO (Lord of The Rings Online) Lua Plugin.


Short Description:

Muzzle trolls, spam, and keywords with a customizable list.


Long Description:

Muzzle trolls, spam, and keywords by filtering chat with a list of player names and keywords. Muzzle accomplishes this by forwarding wanted chat to the Standard channel, and leaving out unwanted chat.


New feature:

+ Highlight messages to your player name in world chat.


Suggested Usage:

Create a new chat tab for World chat.
It's recommended to rename this tab to 'Unmuzzled',
and not pay any attention to this tab.
Right-click this tab. On the menu choose 'Change Filters',
and tick on 'World'.

Create another new tab for Standard.
It's recommended to rename this tab to 'Muzzled',
to signify that this is the tab you will want to read the chat from.
Right-click this tab. On the menu choose 'Change Filters',
and tick on 'Standard'.
Then left click the Chat Bubble icon to the bottom left of
the chat. On the menu choose 'Output Channel'
and tick on 'World'.


Installation:

Unzip or 'Extact All' of the Muzzle*.zip into the proper plugin folder as described below.

Installation folder for Linux or Steam:
.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/212500/pfx/dosdevices/c:/users/steamuser/My Documents/The Lord of the Rings Online/Plugins/

Installation folder for Windows:
c:/users/<USERNAME>/My Documents/The Lord of the Rings Online/Plugins/

If the 'Plugins' folder does not exist, create it.

The folder structure should look like:
../Plugins/GitForked/Muzzle

Log in to the LOTRO game and your server, and on the right side of the character select screen click the button for 'Manage Plugins'.
Click the green refresh arrow to refresh the list of plugins installed.
Find 'Muzzle' in the list and left click it.
Under 'About', change 'Automatically Load For' to 'All Characters'.


Commands:

/Muzzle reload
Will reload the Muzzle plugin. This is useful if you have added names or keywords, since a reload is required for the new names or keywords to take effect.  This command prevents having to log your character out and back in, as in the previous version.


Special Thanks:

To Geramond for suggesting the working title "Troll Muzzle";
(later shortened to just Muzzle.)
