Feature: Customizable word/swear filter

[ViciouZ]

I just had a go at making a client side filter: it is enabled/disabled with cl_swearfilter 0/1 and the words are stored in cl_blockedwords, seperated by commas. Strtok makes me want to kill myself.

Here's the patch:
http://www.viciouz.co.uk/other/miscfiles/paintball2_swearfilter.patch

The current list is quite small, and only has a few common words, but I thought I'd leave it like that so people could add their own.

I'm assuming that the list in cl_parse.c takes priority when the two lists are different (the cl_blockedwords declaration doesn't match in both).


Edit:

I'm not familiar with the DP source (or C for that matter), but do you need to declare the variable twice in two different places?

[ViciouZ]

It helps to define it in those 2 places, yes. (I think.) The unmatching lists were an accident

Updated, now cl_swearfilter 2 drops the chat line.

Might have to change to external files for the swear list, apparently cvars may be limited to 64 characters. Seems alright for most use though.

Sounds great

Did you submit this to the CVS?

[ViciouZ]

Looking back, it seems cervisia has been lying to me about what it has and hasn't uploaded, but this is definitely in the CVS.

Why? who cares what people say if its a word its meant to be said.

[Zorchenhimer]

Because we don't want to hear (or in this case, read) it.

[Clipz]

Maybe it should be a choice to use it or not? I would be pissed if my dp was filtered.. you should be able to choose if yours is or not.

[Zorchenhimer]

it is enabled/disabled with cl_swearfilter 0/1

That's the whole point of making it client side.

I noticed that it takes out the whole line that a player said if it has a blockedword. can it eventually be updated to just block the single word and show the rest of the text?

[ViciouZ]

That should just be a setting... What is your cl_swearfilter set to?

Edit: cl_swearfilter 2 will do it.

jits: shouldn't it be disabled by default? Or there could be a setup menu when the game starts for the first time... But I don't think people would be too pleased with a default swear filter, especially current players who are used to the "banter".

[Justinph5]

k thx, yeah, it was set to 1

edit: and yes it is defaulted to cl_swearfilter 1, which blocks the whole sentence. I say defaulting it off is best, then Zorch could put in a menu for all the new players.

I vote for default 2.

sorry to revive a fairly old thread, but could you have a 1st time setup when you start the program for the first time, setting up (in a wizard style) all the basic stuff, like a swear filter. You could also have it in the setup file (that gets downloaded with the build).
just a thought, maybe it's not really that relevant to this topic

You might want to start a new feature vote for a first-time setup guide/wizard.
