Customizable word/swear filter

[coLa]

hm... this would be good for the older members that are trying to keep a clean environment for their children.

I assume you're referring to the client-side filter that has been discussed in the past (perhaps somebody could locate that thread and link it for more details).

[Garrett]

I like this idea because I really hate seeing people using racist language and then getting into a swearing match with someone because they told them to stop.  If you don't see the words, you can't get mad.

[sk89q]

I was hoping for the server-side one :/

[Cobo]

I dont see a reason to not make this client and server side.

[DaRkNeSS]

Yeah, make it so someone can setup a personal word filter or server admins can control their server better.

[sk89q]

I don't think many people would give a crap (enough) to turn on word filtering for themselves. However, on servers, admins can reduce fights themselves for everyone.

[Zorchenhimer]

Have it on by default?

[sk89q]

Is that a good idea? :3

[DaRkNeSS]

No don't turn it on by default.

[Zorchenhimer]

What about a 'first run configuration' type thing where it asks if you wan the filter on or off?

[KiLo]

Stop trying to take all the fun out of the game.

like i said, this would mainly benefit the older members with children that they wish to protect.

+1 for this.  I was playing today while my dad was watching.  Other players were calling each other synonyms for homosexual and other things that made me feel a bit awkward.

Server side! Server side! :<

Server side! Server side! :<

Do a new request for server side.  You need to make your requests less ambiguous.

Do a new request for server side.  You need to make your requests less ambiguous.

i.e 'more than four words'.

[sk89q]

I can be specific in four words "Customizable server swear filter"

[Cobo]

Well, I dont know if this helps, but I made this a long time ago: Customisable server side word filter.
I just changed in sv_user.c at the bottom this:

Code: [Select]

case clc_stringcmd:
s = MSG_ReadString(&net_message);

// malicious users may try using too many string commands
if (++stringCmdCount < MAX_STRINGCMDS)
SV_ExecuteUserCommand(s);

if (cl->state == cs_zombie)
return; // disconnect command
break;With this:

Code: [Select]

case clc_stringcmd:
s = MSG_ReadString(&net_message);

// malicious users may try using too many string commands
if (++stringCmdCount < MAX_STRINGCMDS)
{
if(strstr(s, "say"))
{
char filter_filename[MAX_QPATH];
char *buf;
int file_len;

sprintf(filter_filename, "%s", Cvar_Get("filter_file", "configs/filter.txt", CVAR_ARCHIVE)->string);
file_len = FS_LoadFile(filter_filename, (void **)&buf);

//if (file_len < 0)
// return;

if (file_len != -1)
{
qboolean keeplooking = true;
char *token;
char *buf2;

// put null terminator at end:
buf2 = Z_Malloc(sizeof(char)*(file_len+1));
memcpy(buf2, buf, file_len);
buf2[file_len] = '\0';
FS_FreeFile(buf);
buf = buf2;

token = text_copy(COM_Parse(&buf));
while(*token)
{
if(keeplooking)
{
if(strstr(s, token))
{
strrep(s, &s, token, "*****");
keeplooking = false;
}
}
token = text_copy(COM_Parse(&buf));
}
}

}

SV_ExecuteUserCommand(s);
}

if (cl->state == cs_zombie)
return; // disconnect command
break;It's probably not be the best way (and its probably buggy) since I made it a long time ago.


Edit: I just remembered strrep was a function I made but I cant remember where it is...
