Client showing spell effects.

I had this enabled at one time for windows.

1. In VC2005, right click on the Zone section and select Properties.
2. On the left side of the Zone Property Pages window select the C/C++ Preprocessor section under Configuration Properties.
3. On the right side of the Zone Property Pages window select Preprocessor Settings, these are the compiler settings.
4. Click on the tiny button on the right end of the Preprocessor Settings to open the Preprocessor Definitions window.
5. Edit SPELL_EFFECT_SPAM into its own line at the top of the list of compiler options.
6. Select OK to exit the Preprocessor Definitions window.
7. Select OK to exit the Zone Property Pages window.
8. Rebuild the executables.

I see that on the most recent SVN builds, the spell effect spam is gone even from Linux. If possible, I think it would be awesome if we could add it back in, but make a new rule to allow it to be turned on or off easily.

I am unsure where this check would come in, since the spell effect spam check is done so many times in the spell_effects.cpp file. Does anyone know where this rule check would go in? Maybe in defining SPELL_EFFECT_SPAM?

if(RuleB(Spells, EnableSpellEffectSpam)){

Once that part is figured out, the only other thing would be to add the actual rule in like this:

ruletypes.h - Add this line to the Spells Category:

RULE_BOOL (Spells, EnableSpellEffectSpam, false) //Enable or Disable spell effect text spam

Then the optional SQL would be this:

Insert into rule_values values (0, 'Spells:EnableSpellEffectSpam', false);
