ShowEQ 5 filters

[Loco]

ShowEQ 5 filter syntax seems to be the same as the old filters with the exception of level range. When I make a filter like the ones I used 4.3.18 everything works until I add a level range. Has something changed a little?

I used this before
[Hunt]
NPC:0:.*:RTeam:[^3];16-32

This one works without the level range but not with it
section name="Hunt"
oldfilter regex NPC:0:.*:RTeam:[^3];16-32 regex oldfilter

Any clues what I have wrong?

I am having the same problem with level ranges. I am using the latest version of ShowEQ 5. I want to Hunt for a specific level range of mobs.

I have used many interations of this:


<oldfilter><regex>Level:30-35</regex></oldfilter>

none of which seem to work. I finally had to do this:


<oldfilter><regex>Level:30</regex></oldfilter>
<oldfilter><regex>Level:31</regex></oldfilter>
<oldfilter><regex>Level:32</regex></oldfilter>
<oldfilter><regex>Level:33</regex></oldfilter>
<oldfilter><regex>Level:34</regex></oldfilter>
<oldfilter><regex>Level:35</regex></oldfilter>


I am at work at the moment, so not positive on the above syntax. I will update this when I get home.

Anyone have any ideas?

Loco,
ShowEQ 5 filter format uses XML. So the hunt filter that was in filters_zonename.conf would be in a file called zonename.xml. And where the old contents would be:


[Hunt]
NPC:0:.*:RTeam:[^3];16-32


The contents of the new file would be:


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE seqfilters SYSTEM "seqfilters.dtd">
<seqfilters>
<section name="Hunt">
<oldfilter><regex>NPC:0:.*:RTeam:[^3]</regex><level min="16" max="32"/></oldfilter>
</section>
</seqfilters>



ImNotDeadYet,
Level ranges are handled by a seperate XML tag called level. The first example you gave wouldn't have worked under ether the old or new filter file syntax. So,

<oldfilter><regex>Level:30-35</regex></oldfilter>

Should be:


<oldfilter><regex></regex><level min="30" max="35"/></oldfilter>

Awesome! Worked like a charm. Thanks Zaphod.

fyi - this code did work for me, had to add that extra colon before Level:



<oldfilter><regex>:Level:30</regex></oldfilter>
<oldfilter><regex>:Level:31</regex></oldfilter>
<oldfilter><regex>:Level:32</regex></oldfilter>
<oldfilter><regex>:Level:33</regex></oldfilter>
<oldfilter><regex>:Level:34</regex></oldfilter>
<oldfilter><regex>:Level:35</regex></oldfilter>


Also, is it possible to edit these in an XML editor? Or have ShowEQ load them into an XML editor when you Edit off the Filters Menu?

You should be able to edit them in your favorite XML editor without any problems.

Heh, what should my 'favorite' XML editor for Linux be? :)

Oh, and is there a way to tie it directly into ShowEQ?
