Incredibly useful console command to help with condumps

[KelpTheGreat]

I stumbled upon a couple of incredibly useful commands that you can put into the console. One of them highlights specific words or phrases (such as your own name), and the other completely hides specific words or phrases (such as engine errors, common in TF2 and probably other Source games). Here's how to use them.

con_filter_enable #
Replace the # with either 1 or 2. 1 will filter completely, 2 will display filtered text brighter than other text. Either 1 or 2 must be specified for the other commands to work. Put it to 0 to turn off filtering.

con_filter_text "example"
Replace the stuff in between the quotation marks with a word or phrase of your choice. For example, using
con_filter_text "KelpTheGreat"
will filter the console output to only output lines that contain my name. All my kills, deaths, and text communications will be output to the console. With console filtering 1 enabled, ONLY text with my name in it will be output. With console filtering 2 enabled, text with my name will be brighter.

con_filter_text_out "example"
This command allows the console to automatically ignore specific words or phrases. I recommend setting the filter to 1, as 2 will only darken the console output. Setting it to 1 will completely eliminate it from the condump.

If you play TF2, you've probably seen the following errors quite often:

Model '(null)' doesn't have attachment 'backblast' to attach particle system 'rocketbackblast' to.


Cannot update control point # for effect 'cig_smoke'.


Cannot update control point # for effect 'muzzle_scattergun'.

And probably others as well. If you copy and paste these in between the quotation marks in the con_filter_text_out "" command, this will completely eliminate those from appearing in the console. Highly recommended.

This thread will be cross-posted in any other forum location that I think could use the commands.
