[Release] Auto Reply Plugin

[SilentStorm]

This Plugin can automatically reply to private messages and pokes you receive.

If you have any Ideas about what could be added feel free to reply and I'll see what can be done.

Works only on Windows, tested with Windows 7 64bit.

If the Plugin fails to load and you did download the correct Version for your Client then you need to install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Runtime Libraries which can be found here:
MS Visual C++ 2013 Runtime
TeamSpeak already ships them, so you shouldn't need to install them manually (listed just in case). If you do though, make sure to select the architecture that matches your client installation.

Features:

• Separate configuration per server (just don't visit too many servers :P )
• Reply only when you're away
• Reply only to those that have a certain server group
• Send only one reply for each client
• Ability to alter the reply message based on the message received (Regular Expression matching)

Downloads:
Client 3.0.18+ (API 20) SHA1 Hash: 43F6DC25F833174D73099115742633721CB6C1B5
Client 3.1.0+ (API 21) SHA1 Hash: 45A0CFBD3FCC78C90638A91A9EFB35676E579360

Very nicely made, exactly what I've been looking for.

Edit:

Is it possible to only have it reply once to the person if they message you.

I.e. if I send someone a message as soon as they reply the message comes through.

Example -

Patrick: Hi
Person: Hey
Patrick: Auto-reply message

Edit 2:
For some reason the reply only once per session option keeps being unticked whenever I restart my client, really annoying as I want it to be permanently on.

Yes it is. If you initiate the conversation it should still send the message if they reply, as long as the other requirements set forth in the settings are matched.

whoops, yeah there was a bug with saving in certain situations, actually it affected all settings. I fixed it and updated the first post.

Are you able to add another settings option to disable that as in my case I find it rather annoying that it replies afterwards?

Thanks for fixing the other setting too btw!

I could do that, however that brings other problems, such as:
- what if you close the chat, and they then message you? In theory it should send them the auto reply, since they messaged you. Unfortunately though, there is no information about the local client closing a chat tab from the SDK as far as I can tell.
- what happens when you reply to every message?

The only semi-solution I can see so far is to force enable to only send one reply per client, and I don't really like that all too much.

Well what if you treat it as per-session like the other setting, in the sense that it only sends the message on receiving an email. But if you send the first message it disables it for that session only. That way if you restart your client and they message you then you'd send the auto-reply.

If that makes any sense at all!

Great plugin! Thanks!
I have another suggestion: ignoring server-query users. Every time i connect to my server my client sends auto reply message to JTS3ServerMod bot because of server welcomemessage
//edit1
Also it should ignore own client's guid, when you are chatting with client that have same guid as you (for example, from android client to windows client+plugin)
//edit2
Also, in my opinion, this plugin should have custom ignore list and friends/blocked exception support

[SilentStorm]

Updated to 1.0.3.
Now ignores query clients, if it's the default query or you can actually see the query user in the server tree. The limitation is technical as there is no way to determine the client type (or any client information for that matter) if you cannot see the client in the server tree.
Also includes the option to ignore your own UID as well as a global customized list of unique IDs to ignore (added coz it seemed like a good idea when building the ignoring your own UID feature).

Even though I hate welcome bots, simply because of the fact they're annoying and useless imho, I added ignoring queries.

The former is in, even though I didn't read the second edit till now, it just seemed like a good idea to just add that when ignoring your own unique ID. As for the latter, you can simply ignore PMs from blocked users and it won't reply. Not sure what else you would need / want.

Would it be possible to use this plugin as below:

Check the received message in 1 specific channel, and respond in another private channel?

Example:

I get the message "Resets are OK" on default channel.
Answer "thank you" on another private channel

There were some problems with the server and I was cut off from civilization for the past couple days and thus couldn't fix the issue. Works again now.

If you have any Ideas about what could be added feel free to reply and I'll see what can be done.

Could you add a "admin" tab in the plugin settings where you can set actions for, lets say, poke abuse.
if a player pokes you more than X times within X minutes something should happen.
Like a dropdown menu where you can choose to send the client a msg, kick the client or ban the client.

Other idea is to set tigger words, preferably using regex. if a client poke/pm you and something within the text matches your preset string it should trigger an event.
Lets say I add "help" as a triggerword and then set the default answer to "To get help, contact our support...".
You see what I mean?
