Cyrillic Chat Filter  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)
Version: 1.4
by: Xerton [More]
For more info type /channelinfo

Although I do not want to discriminate anyone who uses cyrillic, i still find myself distracted when reading it in the chat, so i wrote this addon to filter those messages.

If you find any bugs or have suggestions contact me @SoftDeath (EU)

To clarify the current behaviour:
Filtered chat channels include: All guilds, zones, say and yell
The following channels will NOT be filtered: Officers, whisper and messages in any channel written bei yourself

You can change the behaviour via the settings menu.

The old slashcommands are still working:
Type /channel <channelname> into the chat
e.g. /channel tell
This would add the tell channel to the filtered channels

Type /channelstatus to see which channels are being filtered
Type /channelinfo to see this tutorial ingame
[1.4]
- API Bump 100018 - Homestead

- if you find any bugs please let me know in the comment section or contact me @SoftDeath (Pc/EU)
if possible provide a screenshot. thx

Confirmed to still work as of July 2019.

Didn't need to do the tweak mentioned below by DBZVelena - checking the box in the right upper corner of the add-on screen in game to allow out of date mods was enough to make it run.

To get this addon to still work but also not be filtered out due to it being from an old api

open your addon folder.
open txt file called CyrillicChatFilter.txt
edit file so it says: ## APIVersion: 100026 100027
instead of its old api number.

save txt file.
close file.

start up eso. eso will no longer consider it an out of date file.

this addon only hides some text in your chat box. it barely even touches anything api related which means it will prob keep working regardless of version.
Any Lua bugs you encounter would more likely be caused by other addons.
so if you worry about api version. this is how you keep it from eso thinking its out of date.

good luck with this.

P.S. Sometimes I used google tools for polish or greek translation, it was not difficultly for me to do that. But if u cannot see all the chat, how will u play together with other players?
How can it be racist?
So if i would have a addon that filters out WTS / WTB, then i become racist 2 lol ?

Would you then say if a Russian then makes a addon like this, but filters all English writing people, he's then also a racist, even that most of the world can write english, no matter what RACE they are, so they all become English Race? see how stupid that sounds?

Russia is not 1 ethnic group, it is MANY ethnic groups

Russians, Tatars, Ukrainians, Bashkirs and 182 more etnic groups.

You can play fine without having to read the chat, and if they write Russian language, i would not understand them anyway, this addon did not filter if they then start to write English, german, Danish... so again, if they write russian i can't understand them, so why should i then see it, and if they then start writing English poooop i can read it
Is it not better to have an addon like this, then me just by default ignore all people that writes Russian in the chat, so if i then come across them in a instance and they then would be writing English, i would not see the message at all, since i ignored them, and that is what i do EVERYTIME i see some writing russian, i do not understand it, so i do not want to look at it.

But an update would be great

Yep, we all racists...
I speak, write and read russian and I dont like them.
They spaming the chat all over, so I am happy to ban this language from chat.

Русские - расисты and thats sadly the truth.

I am very happy that someone makes such an addon and @Xeron.... great work and thumbs up



EDIT:
I dont have any ui errors, addon works fine.

Is this addon still supported? I used it for a few days, with lots of success, but since an hour ago, I get massive UI errors with it enabled.

Otherwise, its an awesome addon, alltogether.

Again - thanks to the author.

And everyone, who thinks, this is a racist thing - c'mon, this is ridiculous.
You are welcome

i wish for an addon, which just corrects the letter spacing by changing the font of cyrillic in chat (adding another font, which better supports cyrillic).

Maybe cyrillic wouldn't look that grose as it does at the moment in chat then
So instead of removing a language you can't read anyways and which is spamming zone quite excessively you think it's a better idea to make it look nice... Right.
Let's stay constructive and be polite to each other, shall we?
Barging in with "OMG how stupid" isn't polite and seeing the recent posts I'm afraid it's too late for that. They refuse to use the international language and basically exclude us from their discussions, fine - speak whatever language you like. But now you have to justify yourself and are called a racist for not putting in the effort to decipher their hieroglyphs. That's ridiculous and I'm not sure why you're even entertaining this obvious double standard.

Come again? What is racist about ignoring a language i don't understand? How am i supposed to play with someone i do not understand?
There are two problems with cyrillic in the chat: I don't understand it AND it just looks stupid due to the font ESO is using.
The suggestion Verbalinkontinenz made was a good one, but does not solve the underlying problem for me and all the other people using my addon.
Tbh i even considered filtering french as well, but i did not do so yet due to two reasons:
It does not look that disturbing and i even so i never had french i understand it up to a certain point.

I and many others play computer games to enjoy them and communicate with other people.
As there just is no communication with somone not speaking a language i understand, there is no need to listen to it or read it.
Zone chat is crowded enough even without cyrillic.

On a final note: I welcome discussion about my addon, but don't insult each other or i will have to delete such comments

I lived in europe for 10 years and 15 after that in russia, and can speak the language freely.

They always try to scam you, never keep their word, and do not give a **** about anybody else, but their own, to start the list.
Blocking them from chat just made my playing ten times more enjoyable.
Huge thanks to the author!
