Language Filter

[GuyMcGuyson]

Hey, I don't personally play Blockland but my little brother does. He loves the game and I think it's cool too but a big problem I have with it are two things:

1) He's started typing and talking like an idiot, u instead of you, ur instead of your (Or you're) but really there's not much I can do about that, maybe eventually he'll learn typing like that nobody will take him seriously.

2) The language. There are a lot of brats on there spewing out bad words like nobody's business. While I understand 'Yes, this is the internet' This game is marketed for kids for crying out loud.

So I'm asking for a language filter. I know this game has its' own programming language, some script I'm not familiar with so there's no mod I can make myself. Had it been LUA (Even though I suck at that too) Maybe I could've made my own, so I was wondering is there some option for language filters I haven't seen, or is there a mod I can download so that it filters any bad language.

Thanks for your help... Oh, and one last thing, I don't need to hear "Thus iz thuh intarnet deel with it!!!1!"

Thuz iz de internets, deel w/ it.

no im just joshing with you, but there is a language filter.
personally i dont use it so i have absolutely no idea where to get it. how old is this kid by the way? like 12? cause if so then you should just let him see the real side of internet bricks.

I checked that out and apparently it was already ticked, if it really is working it hardly filters anything. I see people type F**, b****, f***, text that comes from events and any mis-spellings go through. Is there any way to edit the list of words blocked?

@Net, He's only 8. If he was 12 I wouldn't mind as much but he's too young and socially undeveloped to realize what bad words really are. I remember the first time he spouted out the F-Bomb I had to sit him down and tell him that it was an extremely bad word he should never use.

I agree until a kid is at least 12-14 they shouldn't be swearing, interesting though I wouldn't know where to find it to censor out more words.

Sounds like your his father, not his older brother :/

The above post is soo true.

If you can port Foward and host or be some sort of admin in a server download the add-on igso or in game server options. Then you have the option to edit the curse filter to your delight. if this is not possible just stop him from chatting or viewing chat.

Online experience not rated.  Welcome to public multiplayer gaming.  There will always be cursing.

Respect to you for being a responsible older brother. You can edit the list of words but I don't have a blockland install where I am right now so I can't explain, but i'll swing by later and give you a crash course in adding your own cuss words.

Default list:

Code: [Select]

$Pref::Chat::CurseList = "stuff,forget,fuk,cunt,monday,niglet,starfish, ass ,friend, cigarette , cigarettes ,suck my, richard, rooster , kike ,";

Where can I find that?

Well, my parents are pretty lax and not to open the door of my life on all of you but he's my half brother and my dad/step parent are pretty lax so I have to shape him up, my Mom was all about no cursing/cleaning yourself up so he doesn't get the benefit of hard parents.

@other things...
I can't stop him from viewing chat because he likes to be a brat and give me the "You're not a parent you can't do that" Attitude and my parents would probably just say stop pissing him off.

Port forwarding, our ISP or maybe our router has some beef with forwarding ports. I'm a pretty tech-savvy guy, but it's not going to happen. Regardless, he wouldn't want to be playing on an empty server and would probably just play on online ones anyway.

Thanks Ephi, that'd be nice.

Trader, while I understand that there's a reason why the game includes a language filter and services like Xbox Live allow you to turn off voice.

config/client/prefs.cs

Ok so, here's how you do this:

1) Go to C:\Program Files\Blockland\config\client\ (or C:\Blockland\config\client if on Vista)

2) Right click prefs.cs and open with > notepad/wordpad.

3) Search for "$Pref::Chat::CurseList"

4) All the entries are separated by a comma, a space before the word means it wont count as a swear if a word ends in that, so for "ass" it has a space before so "crass" won't count as a swear, and its vice versa with a space at the end of the word, so "assassin" wont be counted as a swear. An entry with no spaces means it will always be censored regardless of its position in a word.

5) Make your changes and save, then restart the game.
