PATCH: Multiple filters in Mobiles/Enhancepack

[kongomongo]

Hi there,

Just wanna say that I totally love Pinco's UI.

Something that (in my eyes) is missing from it though is the possibility to filter mobiles/items with multiple names. For example in bedlam I want to focus on the named monsters (Red Death, Master xxx, Sir yyy, Lady zzz).

So I changed the 2 locations in Pinco's UI to be able to set a filter "red|master|sir|lady" and it will only show me those. Much easier for provo AND looting.

I used the pipe symbol as this is what's used in regular expressions for alternatives and I think its quite easy to pick up.

Changed in EnhancePack.CreateObjectHandles:

            if (ObjectHandleToggleWindow.CurrentFilter ~= "" and name and name ~= "" and name ~= L"") then
                local matchesFilter = false
                for filtrs in wstring.gmatch(ObjectHandleToggleWindow.CurrentFilter, L"[^|]+") do
                    if wstring.find(wstring.lower(name), wstring.lower(filtrs)) then
                        matchesFilter = true
                    end
                end
 
                if not matchesFilter then
                    UnregisterWindowData(WindowData.ObjectInfo.Type, objectId)
                    continue
                end
            end

Changed in MobilesOnScreen.UpdateAnchors :

        if (MobilesOnScreen.STRFilter ~= "") then -- filter
            local matchesFilter = false
           
            for filtrs in wstring.gmatch(MobilesOnScreen.STRFilter, L"[^|]+") do
                if wstring.find(wstring.lower(data.MobName), wstring.lower(filtrs)) then
                    matchesFilter = true
                end
            end
 
            if not matchesFilter then
                MobilesOnScreen.RemoveHealthBar(mobileId)
                continue
            end
        end

Possible optimization would be if matchesFilter = true, then skip rest of for loop altogether, but I don't know Lua at all and dont know how one would do that. (jumps? break?)

Pinco: If you like the change please include it in your UI (this bit is public domain). That would be most awesome!

I had this request time ago, but I still on strike for lack of improvements on the client, so the UI will still in maintenance mode without additions :|

 

[kongomongo]

You mean you are protesting against EA for not fixing the EC?

 

[Storm]

I believe its the fact EC is still in beta, The fact they have not made much if any fixes/improvements additions or much of anything for that matter to make the EC live up to its potential!
Not to put words in pinco's mouth
But this is many peoples complaint at the moment

the EC project is drifting, you can see more improvements by watching a plant growing in a day than EC in 5 years...

Hmm I agree. Is there a place where we all can send emails about the bugs so that they get a lot of feedback?

If it is specific detailed client features then [email protected] and I will make sure Santa gets them.
The "Bug Tracking" section on Stratics is checked often as well.

Here is a link to the bug tracking forum Bug Tracking | Stratics: A Career Path in Gaming And i know this is looked at and gone through every week!

I realize you feel like you have been ignored, The EC has been getting attention of late and we just received more features to add to what modders like yourself can achieve. You have done more than most for this community. And there is not a single person in the EC community who does not appreciate this.
But please try to help us maintain a positive community

kongomongo this looks like a great addition but how do I add this? It would be cool with the mobiles list, if the nearest enemy could be shown at the top of the list. Is this something that could be implemented?
