Anti AFK Spam (WoW 3.3.5a Addon)

This is a simple client-side addon for the AzerothCore private WoW server project to help suppress the error messages related to client AFK logout messages that appear when idle timeout has been disabled in the main server configuration.

What it does

When a server disables the idle logout timeout, the 3.3.5a WoW client doesn't know how to handle it. After 30 minutes of inactivity, the client's hardcoded AFK timer triggers a logout request. Because the server blocks this request, the client fails to log out and begins flooding the screen with "Logout failed", "Logout cancelled", and invasive red AFK text, along with the camping progress bar.

This addon intercepts and hides:

• The failed logout system messages in the chat window.
• The red error text on the screen related to AFK and failed logouts.
• The camping/logout progress bar that pops up during the failed auto-logout attempt.

Note: Standard AFK notifications will still appear in your chat window so you know when you are marked as AFK. Note: This is not an Anti-AFK Plugin it will not prevent your client from going AFK!!!

How to Install

1. Download or clone this repository.
2. Locate the AntiAFKSpam folder inside this repository.
3. Copy the AntiAFKSpam folder into your World of Warcraft client's AddOns directory: World of Warcraft/Interface/AddOns/
4. Launch the game and ensure "Load out of date AddOns" is checked in your character select screen's AddOns menu (just in case).
5. Make sure Anti AFK Spam is enabled.

How to Use

• First Login: When you log in with the addon installed for the first time, a popup dialog will appear asking if your server has idle timeout (auto-logout) disabled. Click Yes (Enable) to activate the spam suppression.
• Manual Toggle: If you ever switch servers or change your mind, you can easily toggle the addon on or off by typing /antiafk in the in-game chat.
