Problem implementing custom automatic profanity filter.

[ChroniclerOfLegends]

Hello,

I had asked a question before about using a profanity filter, but this is more specifically a technical difficulty so I figured I would post my question here. Sorry ahead of time if you don't want a second post.

I am trying to create a custom profanity filter tag that replaces tagged words if a certain variable is set. It automatically creates a '****' string the same length of the word that is tagged if profanity is toggled off by the player.

I am using this article to try and create it:
https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/custom_text_tags.html

and this is my implementation code:

Code: Select all

init python:
    ### A custom tag for tagging words that should be censored
    ### USE:  "Suddenly a wild {c}duck{/c} appeared before me."
    ### RESULT: "Suddenly a wild **** appeared before me."
    def c_tag(tag, argument, contents):
        if (profanity_level == 'CNT'):
            strLen = len(contents[1])
            rs = []
            count = 0
            while (count < strLen):
                rs.append((renpy.TEXT_TEXT, '*'))
                count += 1
            return rs
        else:
            return [contents]
        
    config.custom_text_tags["c"] = c_tag

And this is the line I am testing it with:

Code: Select all

    $ profanity_level = 'CN'
    "Censoring turned off: Have you seen my {c}duck{/c}?"
    $ profanity_level = 'CNT'
    "Censoring turned on: Have you seen my {c}duck{/c}?"

I get this error:

Code: Select all

 
I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:
 File "game/source/scenes/init_variables.rpy", line 130, in script call
    call playersetup from _call_playersetup
  File "game/source/scenes/scene_debug.rpy", line 46, in script
    "Censoring turned off: Have you seen my {c}duck{/c}?"
ValueError: need more than 1 value to unpack

Anybody understand what the ValueError means?
I thought it had something to do with giving the tag an argument, but even when I give it an argument (EX: {c=profanity_level} or {c='****'}) I get the same error.

contents is already a list (actually a tuple iirc), so
return [contents]
should be
return contents

You could simplify btw:
return [ (renpy.TEXT_TEXT, '*' * len(contents[1]) ) ]

or alternatively use config.say_menu_text_filter to run a function that does find->replace on all dialogue without having to code {c} and {/c} each time

Thank you very much, got it working now
