Description

CensorForge is a V Rising mod designed to help server administrators maintain a more respectful and appropriate environment by preventing players from creating characters with offensive or undesirable names. It utilizes an internally managed, multi-language blacklist that can be easily expanded by the mod author.

With CensorForge, you can:

• Prevent the creation of characters with names from a comprehensive, pre-defined blacklist.
• Maintain different sets of forbidden words for various languages, all managed within the mod's source.
• Ensure a cleaner naming environment on your V Rising server.

Features

• Embedded Multi-Language Blacklist: Utilizes word lists defined directly within the mod's C# source code, organized by language (e.g., English, Chinese, Russian, French).
• No External Word List Files: Server admins do not need to manage external.txt or.json files for the blacklist; the lists are part of the compiled DLL.
• Exact Match Filtering: Blocks names if they are an exact, case-insensitive match to any word or phrase in the combined blacklist.
• Developer-Friendly Updates: The mod author can easily add new words or entire language lists by editing the relevant C# source files and recompiling the mod.
• Seamless Integration: Works by patching the character creation event handling to validate names before they are finalized.

Configuration

CensorForge's word blacklists are embedded within the mod's compiled DLL for simplicity and to ensure they are always present. There are no external configuration files for managing the word lists at this time.

Future versions might include configuration options for toggling the mod or other behaviors if requested.

Installation Instructions

• Ensure BepInEx (for IL2CPP games like V Rising) is correctly installed on your V Rising server.
• Download the latest CensorForge.dll from its release source.
• Place CensorForge.dll into your server’s BepInEx/plugins directory (e.g., in a subfolder like BepInEx/plugins/CensorForge).
• Start the server. CensorForge will automatically be active.

Dependencies

• BepInEx: Required to load the mod.
