Am I ok to just remove (or comment out) the messages that I don't wish to be displayed from the plugin_welcome.xml file?  For example, if I didnt want the 'first' and 'announce_first' messages displayed, can I do this :-

Code:

<!-- displayed to a user on his first connection -->
<!-- set name="first">^7Welcome $name^7, this must be your first visit, you are player ^3#$id. Type !help for help</set> -->
<!-- displayed to everyone when a player joins for the first time -->
<!-- set name="announce_first">^7Everyone welcome $name^7, player number ^3#$id^7, to the server</set> -->

Thanks.

hmmm it seems I'm seeing errors from welcome.py in the logs, most likely because its looking for the items I've commented out.

Code:

111203 21:40:30 ERROR   'STDERR \'Exception in thread Thread-125:\\nTraceback (most recent call last):\\n  File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/threading.py", line 532, in __bootstrap_inner\\n    self.run()\\n  File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/threading.py", line 736, in run\\n    self.function(*self.args, **self.kwargs)\\n  File "/home/b3/b3/plugins/welcome.py", line 172, in welcome\\n    client.message(self.getMessage(\\\'first\\\', info))\\n  File "/home/b3/b3/plugin.py", line 78, in getMessage\\n    self._messages[msg] = self.config.getTextTemplate(\\\'messages\\\', msg)\\n  File "/home/b3/b3/config.py", line 112, in getTextTemplate\\n    value = b3.functions.vars2printf(self.get(section, setting, True)).strip()\\n  File "/home/b3/b3/config.py", line 109, in get\\n    raise ConfigParser.NoOptionError(setting, section)\\nNoOptionError: No option \\\'first\\\' in section: \\\'messages\\\'\\n\\n\''

So.... is there any way to stop specific welcomes from being sent?

Yes. 2 options:

1) You can set the flags at the start of welcome.xml to the number you want. i think we have ours at 32 - custom greetings only.

2) You can leave the message area blank and it will not send it.

I.e change:
set name="first">^7Welcome $name^7, this must be your first visit, you are player ^3#$id. Type !help for help</set>
To
set name="first"></set>

Hi Mordy,

I did what you said but I'm now getting blank lines instead of the message.  I want to prevent b3 form sending anything in regard to certain events like 'announce'.  Isnt there a way to tell b3 not to send anything to the chat window in relation to specific events?

Thanks

How about changing the flags?

Can you explain exactly what messages you do want to send with welcome plugin?
