MatchFilter

MatchFilter is a client-side, vanilla-compatible BepInEx mod for STRAFTAT that allows you to filter the lobby list in Browse Lobbies based on game rules and host statistics, displays host rank and score in the lobby name, and automatically refreshes the lobby browser at a configurable interval.

Features

• Host Rank & Score in Lobby Name: Automatically queries Steam Leaderboards and appends the host's rank and score directly to the lobby name (e.g. Player's lobby rank #5 score: 1850).
• Friends Protection: Optional bypass setting (AlwaysShowFriends = true) to ensure lobbies hosted by your Steam friends are always visible, ignoring all active filters.
• Comprehensive Filters: Filter out lobbies in the browse list that don't match your criteria:
  • Mid Match (Any, Yes, No): Hide matches in progress to avoid joining as a spectator.
  • Using Swapper (Any, Yes, No): Filter lobbies using custom weapon swapper.
  • Using Randomizer (Any, Yes, No): Filter lobbies using weapon randomizer.
  • Using Outlines (Any, Yes, No): Filter lobbies with player outlines enabled/disabled.
  • Friendly Fire (Any, Yes, No): Filter lobbies with friendly fire enabled/disabled.
  • Max Host Kicks (number, -1 to disable): Filter out toxic hosts with high kick counts.
  • Max Host Bans (number, -1 to disable): Filter out hosts with high player ban counts.
  • Hide Full Lobbies (true/false): Hide lobbies that have reached their player limit.
• Smart Auto-Refresh: Automatically refreshes the lobby browser every N seconds while the browser window is open. With OnlyWhenEmpty = true, auto-refresh pauses once matching lobbies are found so the list stays stable while browsing.
• Enhanced Tooltip: Formats the hover tooltip on lobbies to show clear Yes / No, Host Bans, Steam friend indicator, and host leaderboard rank/score in English.
• Live Configuration Updates: Updating settings in BepInEx ConfigurationManager (F1) immediately refreshes the lobby list in real time.
• Vanilla-Compatible: Marked with [assembly: StraftatMod(true)] so you are never placed into modded matchmaking isolation.
