You can create your own local subonly mode by ignoring all messages
written by non-subscribers. This can also be applied to e.g. a
manually curated list of users via the Addressbook. The ignored
messages are collected in Channels - Ignored.
Features used: Ignore System, Addressbook, Custom Commands
Go to Main - Settings - Ignore and make sure Enable Ignore
is ticked. Then add to the list (press the Plus-Button):
!status:smb chanCat:subonly
The status: prefix matches on messages by user status.
The !
in front negates the effect, so in this case it ignores users that
are not a subscriber, moderator or the broadcaster of the
channel. See the Highlight help
for more information on the status: prefix.
The second requirement for a match is chanCat:subonly,
which requires the channel the message was send in to be associated
with the Addressbook category subonly. This isn't quite
necessary, but makes it possible to toggle this Ignore list entry
per channel.
If you used the chanCat: prefix as shown above, you need
to add the subonly Addressbook category to a channel.
You can either use the Channels - Addressbook Dialog or
an Addressbook Command.
In both cases you have to add the channel, so including the
leading #.
An Addressbook command to toggle the category for a channel would be:
/ab change #joshimuz !subonly
This toggles the subonly category for the given channel, so
when the category is there, it removes the category, and when the category is not there,
it adds the category.
To do this a bit more conveniently, you can add it as a custom command. Go
to Main - Settings - Commands and add the following to the
list:
/Toggle_Subonly /ab change #$(chan) !subonly
If you enter /Toggle_Subonly (you can enter e.g.
/Tog and then press TAB to TAB Complete the
command), this automatically toggles the Addressbook category for
the channel where you entered the command ($(chan)).
To make this even more convenient, you can also add the Custom Command
to the Commands - Channel Context Menu setting or
trigger it via a button by adding it to the Hotkeys
setting (selecting Custom Command as Action and entering the name of
the added Custom Command).
This could also be changed or extended to allow users manually added to the Addressbook. The Ignore entry could be changed to:
!status:smb !cat:allow chanCat:subonly
The cat: prefix requires the user to be associated with an Addressbook
category, although in this case it is negated with !,
so any user that has the allow category will not
match the Ignore list entry, and thus their message will show.
Users can be added to the category via the User Context Menu
(right-click on a user in chat) or the ways detailed in the other
sections above (although in this case, unlike the chanCat:
prefix, the user name must be added without a leading #).
