[Mod] Chat channel [v2.1] [chat_channel] (chatplus merged)

[fairiestoy]

Version: 2.1
License: WTFPL
Dependencies: none
Description:
This mod allows users to define and use chat channels in the game. This way, private conversations keep private. Its also possible to define a maximum distance in which users can hear this chat. As example:
By default, the channel 'local' is registered with a distance of 7. So only players within a 14x14x14 radius are capable of receiving messages within this channel.

Future planned features:
> Currently none

Latest Update!
The other branches now includes a simple swearing filter with most common english swear words. If you want this feature, download the merged mod.

Nice!

Update:
Merged together the chatplus code with the channels possibility. Most significant changes to the base code were the splitting of log and base code (i moved the log part to another file for better readability) and the transfer from globalsteps to a minetest.after() routine for the HUD element.

Should be fixed now.
Warning
This fix enables the log as default by logging all. So keep an eye on it if you want to just log to file or only to console.

Update
Added a very basic Swearing filter with most common english swear words. The message send from each player gets filtered with all words inside this file and will be given back to the normal code after formatting it.

Cool thing. One can learn some English by looking at the swearing_filter.txt.

[CraigyDavi]

This would be even better if it auto banned people for using words in the swearing filter! Would that be possible?

Cool I think you can add words to the swearing filter.

This mod is brilliant! People can inbox me in the chat when I'm offline to get privs and things?

What happens when someone uses a word in the swearing filter?

[fairiestoy]

Is it possible to delete this topic? I deleted the chatchannels repo because there is a new project coming up where the chatplus merged branch will be included. Would be nice (thanks to the moderator in advance)

[rubenwardy]

You can request it be moved to old_mods
