Bad Word Filter PRO - Solution against profanity and obscenity

Hi Sir,

Does it work on iOS too?

 

Yes, it works on all Unity build platforms.


So long,
Stefan

 

Stefan,
I would appreciate getting a string back of all the bad words/sentences in English as you stated above. We'd like mark everything manually. Thanks!

 

Hi

Isn't the "GetAll"-function sufficient enough?
Here are more details:

Hi, thanks for your plugin.
But I have problem with making build on Windows 10 platform, i get such erors:
Reference rewriter: Error: type `System.Net.WebClient` doesn't exist in target framework. It is referenced from BadWordFilter.dll at Crosstales.BWF.Util.CTWebClient.
UnityEngine.Debug:LogError(Object)
And other similar errors, can you help with it?

keywords : UNITY_WSA UWP WinRT

 

Hi

To build for WSA (UWP), you have to use the PRO version as mentioned in the description:


But you're lucky, we reduced the upgrade price also by 30% for the "Mega Sale":
https://goo.gl/TzfWRc

 

Thanks for your fast answer.
I followed your advice and bought PRO version.
But when I try to build I got this error:

Assets\crosstales\BadWordFilter\Plugins\Scripts\ExtensionMethods.cs(229,34): error CS1061: 'Action' does not contain a definition for 'Method' and no extension method 'Method' accepting a first argument of type 'Action' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Please, help.

 

Sorry for the problems...
Please open "Assets\crosstales\BadWordFilter\Plugins\Scripts\ExtensionMethods.cs" and delete the lines 213 - 269.

 

Yes it helped, thanks.
But need to delete lines 213-269
One more question:
Should I remove old not Pro version before import PRO?

 

You're right, I was in a hurry an wrote the wrong lines

To upgrade, please follow chapter 10 of the documentation:
https://www.crosstales.com/media/data/assets/badwordfilter/BadWordFilter-doc.pdf

 

Howdy, Stefan;

Have been a happy BWF user, until the latest upgrade to 2.9.9. Now, the basic BadWordManager.Contains(string, sources[]) call always returns false, no errors or messages

• I did not follow any sort of upgrade process, just downloaded the latest from asset store and let it import. Was this a mistake?
• How can I debug this issue/validate my BWF configuration?

Hi Thompson

Delete "Assets/crosstales/BadWordFilter" first and import the new version again.
Please et me know if it works.

Thx!


Cheers
Stefan

 

Of course, so simple, resolved, thanks!

Thompson

 

Although, now that I have your attention;

My sources include Chinese as well as other languages, so I believe I need to use the "Simple Check" option, which ignores regex settings in the BadWordManager. This means BWF will ignore the "Ignores Case" regex option, so BWF will fail to detect upper-case bad words. If this correct?

Ultimately, I'd like to both check for Chinese and ignore case for my European languages, is this possible?

 

Definitely, check first Chinese with "Simple Check" enabled, then disable it and check the remaining sources.

 

i bought PRO version.
i cannot build my project after importing this.

unity 5.4.3f1
Bad Word Filter PRO 2.9.9

the error message i got is:

UNetWeaver error: Exception :System.ArgumentException: An element with the same key already exists in the dictionary.
at System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2[System.UInt32,System.UInt32].Add (UInt32 key, UInt32 value) [0x0007e] in /Users/builduser/buildslave/mono/build/mcs/class/corlib/System.Collections.Generic/Dictionary.cs:404

let me know how to resolve this problem???

 

Hi

Honestly, I don't think this has something to do with BWF.

Can you please create a new empty project, import BWF and build it?
That should work, please let me know.

Cheers
Stefan

 

thank you for your quick reply!

i can build when i create a new one.
even if i import non-pro version(dll), i face to this issue??

 

Sorry, I don't understand.

It works when you import BWF into an empty project, right?
And what do you mean with the dll?

 

sorry for my poor english...

yeah, BWF can be imported into an empty project.

i bought non-pro version too because i cannot build PRO version.
i gave up to use PRO version and i tried to use non-pro version(https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/localization/bad-word-filter-48397)
after that, i can use this assets without any issue because i don't need to compile this asset to use.

 

No problem, I'm just trying to find the problem.

So, you own the DLL and PRO version?
DLL works in your project and PRO doesn't, is that right?

 

yes, i own two versions.

in my project, DLL version works fine but PRO...
i added some files to my project to find the problem.
when i added only Common, BadWordFilter/Scripts/Util/Config.cs and Constants.cs, i can build.
but, i faced to the problem again when i added BadWordFilter/Scripts/Util/Helper.cs.
i think Helper.cs has any issues but i cannot find the problems...sorry

 

The issue is, that the DLL and PRO versions have different "Common" folders.
Just remove "Assets/Plugins/crosstales" and import ONLY ONE version of the tool.

That should solve the problem.

 

Hello Stefan,

I am currently working on a bad language filter project on my course and was wondering if you can give me some notes on how to program one as I am very interested in this particular project

 

Hi Daany

I wrote you a PM.


Cheers
Stefan

 

I can confirm bad words filter is great.

 

Thank you!

If you like the product, please don't forget to rate it.


Cheers
Stefan

 

Yeah, I thought I had.
Seems like we never actually outed that build to anything other than android...
I'll open the projects and see about a WebGL build, difficult to review with a completely internal project as reference

 

Updated my review. Thanks man
3 years ago

Does what it says on the tin. Really very well.
All these years on and still being incredibly well supported. PAY THE MONEY!

 

Thank you very much for your kind words! This keeps me going the extra mile!

I hope we stick around for the years to come and are able to provide you all with the tools you need and deserve.


So long,
Stefan

 

It looks great, but I just tried the current WebGL version and was quickly able to put in a bunch of bad words as long as I separated the bad word with a space so each half word did not trigger the filter. I could also write all the bad words I wanted to if I put in spaces between each letter. Is it possible you could modify your solution to deal with these situations -- maybe combine each two to three words, or flag situations with multiple single letters and spaces. I think you have the most robust and comprehensive system out there.

 

Hi

Thank you for your interest in BWF!

About the spaces: this was intentionally designed as it is. Otherwise, it could lead to more more false positives and would cost a lot of performance.
But you could change the regexes to match those cases.
On the other hand, if someone wants to swear, they will always find a way... The purpose of our tool is to catch >90% of the cases by delivering a great performance suitable for games.

I hope you understand our take on this and I'm happy to provide you with further instructions to fine tune BWF for your case.

 

Yes I would like the further instructions for that type of situation.

 

You have to modify the bad words. Here is any example if you don't like people with the name "Dick"
\bd( )*i( )*c?( )*k\w*\b

( )* must be inserted between every character of the word.

We could theoretically add this as an automatic option, but I'm unsure if it's a good idea, because as I wrote, this can slow down the performance drastically... So handle it with care and use it only for the most important words you want to detect that way.

 

Exactly. you cant stop em. but you can slow em down

Important notice for all "standard" customers:

We constantly try to push our assets to the next level by adding new features and deliver the best support for our customers. In the past we've kept updating the asset in a 2-month cycle. However, after careful consideration, we feel like this needs to happen at a faster pace. We've received numerous input from the community that a faster pace would help out a lot. Because Unity is ever evolving and we want to keep our assets relevant we need to be able to keep up the fast pace that is Unity's second nature. Packaging and maintaining a separate DLL-version poses a problem in regards to this goal.

With this in mind, we decided to phase out the DLL-version by the end of August 2018.
Besides being able to update the asset more often, we are convinced that phasing out the DLL-version in favor of the PRO version will also bring these improvements for our customers:

1. More functionalities and supported platforms due the source code (e.g. Linux)
   
2. Less frictions with different Unity versions within the same company
3. Fast hotfixes and high priority support

We understand that this may impact you negatively. However we hope with the upgrade-path we offer to you - our loyal DLL-customers - can alleviate your concerns and win you over once more:
PRO edition

Please rest assured we will continue to support and improve the PRO version over the years to come.

I hope you understand our decision.


Cheers
Stefan

 

BWF is not marking leetspeak by default. not sure how to enable.

if I try a word: a$$ BWF will show it as Contains:True, and list ass as a bad word with GET, but will not mark it.
It will mark ass but not a$$.

I don't believe i have bumped anything. same behavior on Demo scene.

Martians are a$$holes...
Contains: True
Get: assholes
Replace: Martians are ********...
Mark: Martians are a$$holes...

My guess is mark is simply searching for assholes rather then a$$holes to mark... .
Any simple fix for this? Can i get unconverted words via GET?
In my use case, i am only interested in Marking, not replacing.

 

I've sent you an email.

 

Update regarding the deprecation of the standard package:

The standard package is planned to be available (but no longer maintained) until December 2018. This will allow the transition to PRO with a 50% reduced upgrade-price for our existing customers.
Afterwards, the package will vanish from the store and the upgrade path will become inaccessible.


Edit:
We managed to create an upgrade path for the standard version which will last forever.
Therefore, customers of the DLL version can still upgrade to PRO for 50% of the full price.

 

Trying out this plugin. Two quick questions:

1) Is there a minimal install without fonts, textures, buttons, prefabs, etc - or a safe list of things that can be deleted and still have the API work? It is a surprisingly big installation 300+ files?

2) When filtering it seems that once it finds a bad word it aggressively replaces it everywhere in the string. Example:
BWFManager.ReplaceAll("grape") // returns "grape" which is correct
BWFManager.ReplaceAll("grape rape") // returns "g**** ****"
Why did it filter grape here? I'd expect it to return "grape ****"

Thanks!

 

Hi

All those files won't end up in the final build, so I won't bother deleting anything... However, if you really wanna delete some stuff, those folder can be removed:


About the replace issue: yes, you are right, there is a problem and it's already fixed. Please send me your invoice and I can provide you with the latest version.


Cheers
Stefan

 

Hi, we're having all sorts of issues with the Bad Words filter not allowing words that 'should' be allowed (a clear example of this being that the default language config files don't allow the number '500' to be used). But then when the definition files are updated in results in lots of 'bad' words we don't want to allow are now being allowed. It'd be great if there was a way to define an 'acceptable' list of words in a file (that we could add things like the number '500' in) that would bypass all the unacceptable words definition files. Is it possible for us to do something like this?

 

Hi

I tried BWF with "500" but it wasn't marked as bad word in any language...
Can you give me an example?

We decided to use regex for the detection of bad words because it's a very powerful way to handle the use-case. You could easily exclude the allowed words.
However, a white list is probably easier for many customers and we have it on our future feature list. But it's not decided if and when we will add it.
Meanwhile, please use regex - if you need any help send me an email.


Cheers
Stefan

 

Is there I way I can use this to censor steam games?

 

Hi

Can you please elaborate what you exactly mean?
BWF is independent from any underlying store and would be part of your game, but it can't censor words outside of the app.

 

Steam is a gaming site where you can buy/download games to play on your computer and I can't play some of the games because of the Language in them. If you need a link to see what exactly steam is I can send you one

 

I know what Steam is
However, BWF can't censor words if it's not part of the games you want to play.
