/filter

Syntax

/filter [macros {all|enhanced|none}] [skills {all|increase|none}] [target|money|food|encumber|debug {on|off}] [name {add|remove} text ] [zrange # ] [mq {on|off}]

Description

Extends the EverQuest command to allow filtering many types of messages, such as the annoying "You are out of food and drink" alert.

Command Description

Notes

Filters added through /filter are excluded from EverQuest's logging (/log) system.

Important: Overly broad filters may capture unintended messages. For example, filtering out A rat will also hide messages containing that exact phrase, such as /con messages.

Examples

/filter name add Joe         This will add a filter that ignores all lines that start with "Joe"
/filter name add *Joe        This will add a filter that ignores all lines that have "Joe" anywhere in them
