That works :-)

This mod doesn't seem to respect shout priv, which means I can't gag verbally abusive players. Has anyone else experienced this?

Weird, it's not documented that register_on_chat_message is still called if the player doesn't have shout.

Does this fix your problem? https://github.com/rubenwardy/chatplus/ ... 50ca1556a4

It does indeed. Thank you :)

EDIT: Never mind

Please add few simple optional antispam filters to public chat (and mail?):
+ block same message spam by player
+ truncate or block very large messages
+ block messages with https:// or ftp:// or www.

1) Good suggestion, is in my (mental) to do list
2) This is potentially problematic - what if they write a long rant, and have it deleted?
3) This is also problematic - how do you detect web links reliably?

Is it possible to see only chat messages left of the bottom instead of top ?
It would be easier to read.

>2) This is potentially problematic - what if they write a long rant, and have it deleted?

add sane defaults (amount of symbols before truncation) and make it disabable if you are worrying, I've seen some huge spam messages that cover my entire 1280*1024 screen which slowed down minetest to few fps on descent PC.

Number 3 is not a big deal, 1) and 2) is a big deal, worst kinds of spam

Recent minetest-dev clients can't see their own messages.
Other players can see the messages, but not the player with the dev client.

Example:
Client: 0.4.15-1de08e19
Server: 0.4.15-7b74f04a

I'm seeing this as well. Newer dev clients no longer have chat prediction visible. I thought about overcoming this on mine by sending a copy of sent chat to sender, but then older clients with chat prediction would see double posts.

Nice! And only two lines added? Is it wrong that I hate how easy you make things look? :P

Not quite, I'm afraid: Server: 0.4.15-7b74f04a
Client: 0.4.15-c05dfac

Occasionally I test my code

Perfect, thank you very much!

I spoke too soon:
Now the release clients get their chat echoed two times.
Is this an EITHER case, where you could either support 0.4.15-release OR 0.4.15-dev, but not both?

Afaik there's no way of detecting whether a client will print the chat message before sending it, so yes: I can only support one or the other :(

I will no longer be supporting chatplus. It doesn't do what it does very well, and just causes headaches.
I suggest using these mods instead:

• Ignore list manager - viewtopic.php?t=13993
• Filter or Chat Anticurse
