Romans623 Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 Good day everyone... Need some assistance with Jedi Academy; some behind the scenes info. I am looking to find a way to turn on any kind of language filter – for example, the games America’s Army has a built in option to ***** what would be considered inappropriate language – the standard Fs, As, Ds, Ss and GDs etc… This is important for (1) a server we are looking at building and (2) for my and others personal gaming as we roam from server to server. Any help would be great! Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainJackZ Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 look into xmod. it has a prof filter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kramerika Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 Every game should have this option for the client and server. We just started using the latest Xmod on our server with this enabled. You can read more about it here. http://xmod2.cat5camp.com Feel free to visit our server to check it out in action.

Samuel Dravis Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 Also, the OJP mod will have a filter as well...it is not finished yet though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acdcfanbill Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 ive never really been a fan of censoring anything, perhaps, at least all the client side mods could have an on/off cvar for said filter. i would venture to guess that most of the JA players dont actually have to worry about a parent catching a naugty word over their shoulder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amidala from Chop Shop Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 I think you should avoid being heavy-handed with a profanity filter. On the other hand, you would be suprised how many 9 and 10-year-olds there are playing (often they are the siblings or kids of other players), so you have to make a judgement call as to whether or not you should be hosting a place where young kids are exposed to profanity. Yes, I know they have all heard those words before, but each server admin has to decide if they want to give tacet approval to exposing young kids to that. Players who just have to use the "F" word to express themselves soon come up with creative ways to spell it that get around the filter, but it does stop a lot of it. The only other bad word I filter is the "N" word. The other "profanities" I filter are "lamer", "/disco" (I feel sorry for newbs who fall for the "type /disco in the console for super force powers" prank), and "!kton" and "!loud" to impede killtracker use.

acdcfanbill Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 if i had a 9 or 10 year old son or daughter, i sure wouldnt let them play online games, sheesh! I didnt play anything online until i was 17 or 18 probably. younger kids need great thinking titles like, monkey island, or sam and max, or perhaps strategy games. thats what i was playing at a younger age the [sL] server will never ever be censored. in fact i guess i might even encourage ppl to swear, they can type out some big long speech full of profanity about laming, while i run over and saber them up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am amazed parents let young children play these games. Probably sometimes they don't know or care that 16-year-old Timmy is letting his little brother play his "Star Wars game" (as long as they stop fighting about it and are kept busy, I guess Mom is happy). Other times on my server I've had parents say "OK, I'm going to let my 9-year-old daughter play for a few minutes", and then say later "ha ha, that was my 9-year-old that killed you on that last map". What are they thinking? Anyway, if it was only 18 and up playing I couldn't give a *%^%^**@#$ what the %#^%* they said, but I feel some responsibility to shield young kids from that, even if their parents won't.

Romans623 Posted December 16, 2003 Author Share Posted December 16, 2003 Thank you all for the ethics discussion... LOL Really I just don't care to see people bleep each other mothers with a bleep, bleeping bleep. That simple... The net by itself is dark and cold... Why submit yourself to more profanity? All I want to do is offer players the same type of luxury that I desire... To play the game in an environment that is semi clean for racism, profanity and harassment. And I don't think it is censoring, you are still being able to curse all you want, I just am not reading it. Censoring is forcing you to not curse - I am forcing me to not read. Thanks for all the Mod recommendations! I must say Xmod’s ability to auto kick after a specific # of offences is REAL cool.. God Bless – See you all in the games. ~MoG[Col]Romans623 http://www.menofgod.us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didnt play anything online until i was 17 or 18 probably. younger kids need great thinking titles like, monkey island, or sam and max, or perhaps strategy games. thats what i was playing at a younger age I played titles like DOOM, Duke Nukem, Castle Wolfenstein (the original) and Quake when I was around that age. But that probably explains a lot. Oh well I got into the FPS gaming scene early I guess. It didn't really hurt to tell you the truth but now that games are becoming more graphic (like DOOM3) it may be a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acdcfanbill Posted December 18, 2003 Share Posted December 18, 2003 Yea, i played all those also, tho not much of Quake, and none of them online until much later, in fact my first Q1 MP experiance happened last weekend, my roomate and i were dm-ing and fooling with tenebrae And yea, games today are much more graphic, back when Doom came out, in 1993, i was all of twelve it think, and it scared the crap outta me, just enought to make the game really exciting a game like Doom today wouldnt do that, just because of how it looks, people are all up for realism, and it probably has soem negative side effects, but i dont htink that anyone should be limited to what they can say. Thats why i was more in favor of cleint side mods taht have language filtering that is toggleable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumor Posted December 18, 2003 Share Posted December 18, 2003 Originally posted by Alegis Gensan it already existed in DCMoD 1.1 as well, nothing that new eh? there have been mods that do filtering for a damn long time dude. first in jk2 to have it afaik was xmod 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime Posted December 18, 2003 Share Posted December 18, 2003 From what I've seen with XMod2, the filters work probably better than intended. Not only they do they replace suspect language, but it seems for the most to cause players not to use that language in the first place, since they know it will be blocked anyway. And with words such as "fag" and worse censored, it is amazing how little chat there is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
