Filter Logs

[42shadow42]

I don't know if this is even possible, but it would be nice to have if it is.

Is it possible to modify the message log UI to allow filtering by players?

You mean like filter so that the message log only focuses on only one person that said stuff?

[EagleMan]

I think that's what he means. That'd be pretty useful if you're just trying to find a dead invest's words or something, or if you need to tune out some idiot that's been spamming up the log.

It would be useful and showing the skill of managing information.

I would support the idea if interface won't become too complicated.

Bump for excellent suggestion, if it's possible/easy to code without cluttering.

I don't know if this is possible. If it is, I like it.

Probably a no for the time being.

If I implemented this would you release it?

[Dark.Revenant]

There's nothing that you could implement. The whole issue comes from optimization; there's just no way of making is space and operation efficient without rewriting the whole system, which is a gigantic pain in the ass.

If memory is not a concern then it's pretty easy; just store a separate log for each particular player and swap between them as required.

Anyway, hopefully this won't cause problems. If it does I'll have to roll back the implementation.

Wait does that mean you are trying to make it happen by expending memory? If so that's cool assuming it doesn't cause problems as suggested.

Also I looked through the scripting language and have decided blizzard need to expand the scripting capabilities because that's some weak stuff.
