Chat Filter Message Canceling & Console Informing

[delbertina]

Description of issue: When using the chat filter feature, some settings cause unexpected outcomes. I am using TownyChat for the that formatting and integration with DiscordSRV. Have tried enabling DiscordSRV support in the CMI config and also disabling ClickHoverMessages as some other tickets suggested to no avail.

I really like the innovative idea of having the bad actors not know their f bombs and n words are only being shown to them via the 'others' block type. Also really love how the chat filter feature is setup such that someone saying the n word can have different commands run on them than someone who says the a word for instance. So I'm hoping maybe the issues I've come across are easy to fix because I would really like to use the chat filtering within CMI and not have to find a new plugin for just chat filtering. :)

Situation # 1 - InformConsole = true and BlockType = all

    unicodeBlock:
      Enabled: true
      Group: Unicode
      InformConsole: true
      Regex:
      - '[^\u0000-\u007F]+'
      ReplaceWith: ''
      BlockType: all
      includePrivateMessages: true
      msgToStaff: '&4!&6[playerName] &4unicode with: &r[message]'
      Commands: []

Result: Triggering this filter does not inform console

Situation # 2 - BlockType = others

    unicodeBlock:
      Enabled: true
      Group: Unicode
      InformConsole: true
      Regex:
      - '[^\u0000-\u007F]+'
      ReplaceWith: ''
      BlockType: others
      includePrivateMessages: true
      msgToStaff: '&4!&6[playerName] &4unicode with: &r[message]'
      Commands: []

Results: Triggering this filter does not cancel the chat event so DiscordSRV sends the message to the discord chat.

Discordsrv and cmi work perfect together. Might wrong configs in one of them by your site?

Whats wrong with your regex? '[^\u0000-\u007F]+ that will do nothing

Hete you have a one for the words ass - \b(?i)(a+(\W|_?)+s+(\W|_?)+s+([^ioIO]|$))

I mean, you're partially correct. Everything worked perfectly for me until I tried setting up the chat filter stuff.

Whats wrong with your regex? '[^\u0000-\u007F]+ that will do nothing

What exactly do you mean by "do nothing"? There's nothing wrong with it, I've been using that and a few other filters to test the bugs I encountered. If you don't believe me, here's a site to test it out yourself quickly. It catches unicode characters such as í .

Cmi chatfilter might work a bit different then you know it from others b(?i)(a+(\W|_?)+s+(\W|_?)+s+([^ioIO]|$)) A nice site for simply chatfilter you can find here https://dkalaxdk.github.io/CMIRegexFilter/

So whats the issue with cmi chat? Works fine. Diesnt your townChat dont work with the chatfilter that is made for cmi chat? Well than you need to ask townychat dev to add a hook for cmi chatfilters

Don't think I'm following what you're trying to say. My issues are not with the filtering functionality itself. The chat filter feature correctly catches messages that need to be filtered. My issues are the 2 situations in my original post about InformChat not working with all filter type and filter type others not canceling the message event.

With cmi chat it works fine on our server. Also the hook with Discord SRV works like wanted here. So i see the Problem more that the chatfilters that are made for cmichat might dont get listen correct from your townychat.

Here an example from our chatfilters

    banswearing03:
      Enabled: true
      Group: swearing
      InformConsole: true
      Regex:
      - 卐
      ReplaceWith: '&4I want to get banned!'
      BlockType: none
      includePrivateMessages: true
      msgToStaff: '&4!&6[playerName] &4was swearing forbitten.'
      Commands:
      - ban [playerName]
    swearing18:
      Enabled: true
      Group: swearing
      InformConsole: true
      Regex:
      - \b(?i)(s+(\W|_?)+a+(\W|_?)+c+(\W|_?)+k+(\W|_?)+g+(\W|_?)+e+(\W|_?)+s+(\W|_?)+i+(\W|_?)+c+(\W|_?)+h+(\W|_?)+t+)
      ReplaceWith: ✪✪✪✪✪
      BlockType: none
      includePrivateMessages: true
      msgToStaff: '&4!&6[playerName] &4used a swearword.'
      Commands:
      - cmi msg [senderName] &eswearing is not allowed. An admin has been informed!

Note: admins and op or people with * might bypass filters because of their permission to bypass them.

About the types: Type Others will post it in Discord Because thats how discord reads a not canceled meassage. This issue was reported to discordsrv devs as well. About inform: works fine if your staff has the permission for it. This will inform the staff in chat. Dont know if this works with townychat, aggain you might need to inform the dev of townChat for a hook there...?

Here the original example

ChatFilter:
  Enabled: true
  Deny:
    ipBlock:
      # If not set to true, this filter will not be used
      Enabled: false
      # Defines filter group and defines required permission node to bypass this filter: cmi.chatfilter.bypass.[groupName]
      Group: Advertising
      # When set to true, each time player triggers filter, console will receive information about who triggered it, which filter and with what message
      InformConsole: false
      # Regex expression to filter by. How to use regex https://regexone.com/
      Regex:
      - ''
      # With what we need to replace word, if not defined found expression will not be changed
      ReplaceWith: ''
      # possible: none, others, all
      # Where 'none' means everyone will receive this message
      # 'others' means that sender will get message but not other players, this is usefull to prevent advertising and silently block it
      # 'all' means that no one will receive sent message
      BlockType: none
      # When enabled rule will be applied to private messages
      includePrivateMessages: true
      # Players with cmi.chatfilter.inform permission will receive defined message when rule is broken
      msgToStaff: '&4!&6[playerName] &4advertising with: &r[message]'
      # List of commands to perform when rule is broken. Use [senderName] to include message sender name. Supports global variables same as locale file
      Commands: []

Do you have a link to the ticket for this being reported? Maybe there was a misunderstanding when resolving the ticket? Seems out of character for Scarsz with all the chat plugins DiscordSRV has changes to specifically support they wouldn't try to support CMI if that is the only avenue to fix the bug.

About inform: works fine if your staff has the permission for it. This will inform the staff in chat. Dont know if this works with townychat, aggain you might need to inform the dev of townChat for a hook there...?

You're talking about the msg to staff, I'm talking about the InformConsole boolean config value in each filter.

we used this before and it was working fine. but we took it out because it was not nessesary for us anymore to get an extra information in console and console log...well to be honest.. we have the inform console taken out since over one year now, so i dont know if its still working or not
