Chatwatch v1.1t

Description
Monitors player text chatting and has ability to filter out messages or otherwise punish players using certain words in their chat messages.

Requirements

• EventScripts 1.3
• EventScripts 1.5 with Auth provider is recommended


• Updated damage corelib subscript (for proper slap effect)

Installation

• Download the zip file from link above
• Extract to your root game folder (e.g. cstrike)
• Add es_load chatwatch to your server's autoexec.cfg file

Using Auth with Chatwatch
If you are using EventScripts 1.5 and are using an Auth provider, Chatwatch allows server admins with permission admin_chatwatch to modify the chat filtering rules from client console using console command cw.


Administering without Auth
The chat filtering rules can be viewed and edited using server console command cw either directly on the server console or by using RCON (recommended way).

Example admin usage
This demonstrates the commands that should be entered into server console to build the sample rule file included inside the zip file.

// Adding say texts: cw addtext f10 "I'm an idiot that deserves to be kicked" cw addtext f10 "I am a loser"   // Adding most used starting words to be filtered completely and combining them with word f10 and punishing the players by using f10 say category cw addcatch press cw catch press f10 "say f10" cw addcatch hit cw catch hit f10 "say f10" cw addcatch choose cw catch choose f10 "say f10" cw addcatch use cw catch use f10 "say f10"   // In case the player bypasses those checks by using some other word at start, let's add general warning: cw watch f10 "msg #green Note:#default F10 will exit your game by default."   // Save the changes so we don't have to redo all these commands again cw save
