I could be wrong, but I'm going to add that the profanity/copyright filter seems to be hitting up Clue Descriptions now? I had no prior issues with this, but as soon as I moved ahead to try and test my arc, it cropped up. But the editor itself was saying 'No Errors', but I couldn't move ahead to actually testing.

Just repaired 'The Rise of the Blood Countess'...
problems:
- Victoria Tennyson - vampire bride
It seems Victor is copyrighted (probably because of Victor von Doom). Renamed to Katherine Tennyson. A firstname in the list :S ?!
- Abomination Zombie ambush
First I thought it was because of the word 'bush' in 'Ambush'. But of-course it is 'Abomination' as that is a Marvel villain. They are renamed 'Blood Brute'. A bit far-fetched though.
Good thing I never used the name 'Dracula' even though he is mentioned in another way. That name is filtered too. Of-course 'Dracula' is now public domain as the rights are from a book over 100 years old.
Oh.. tip.. renaming the Abomination zombie ambush I learned that the filter goes as deep as file-names. The saved critter had the name 'Abomination'. When I renamed everything in the mission so you couldn't see the name anywhere... it still gave an error. I had to save the critter under a different name and then use that.

Also, yes the file name will flag too; currently a thing I had to pester support about until they told me about that. Hopefully I can finally get my Wickerwork arc fixed.

The word/term 'Avengers'/avenger has context and use beyond the Marvel single-word copyright, ergo, this really shoudn't be blocked. |

Add Sentinel to the list of words that are still forbidden. I can see why Sentinel by itself would be forbidden, but as a part of a multi-word name, it's ridiculous. I assure you that my Azure Sentinel is not in any way a giant mutant-hunting robot.

Changing the file name worked like a charm for me, the arc appears to be fixed. I was thinking it might be a bit more of a PITA to take care of this way, but it all fell into place.

Just to be clear, I'm changing the name of the file as it appears in the AE interface or in my saved folder for such things?

1) Change the name in the normal name blank. ("Lantern Warrior" becomes "Luminaria Warrior")
2) Instead of clicking the normal save thing you should instead look down at the bottom left for the button that says 'edit save path', then change the name there as well. (I change "[computery-file-name-stuff]/Lantern Warrior" to "[computery-file-name-stuff]/Luminaria Warrior")
3) It now should save ok.
If I recall exactly, what I did then was set the group chosen from WickerWork to a dev-group, then back to WickerWork and it all loaded up ok.
I think this works - it got rid of the error flags anyways; still haven't had a chance to play-test for make sure though.
EDIT: just played it, works fine now.
"Crey" still seems to be verboten. I actually happened to get a red text warning show up briefly about "Countess Crey" -- dunno what I did to make it happen, maybe I said Dr. Aeon's name 3 times in a mirror, or walked widdershins around my laptop -- but anyway I couldn't republish because of my custom group, which also uses "Crey."
Mainly I don't want to monkey with my arc too much because the editor is also insisting on putting all of my custom mobs in slacks.

Ahhhh, that's why my arc is uneditable. It contains a custom Crey group. It still plays fine though, and the custom group is working fine and doesn't appear to be wearing anything they shouldn't, although the customs are in suits so if it put them in slacks it wouldn't matter too much (as a side note, the custom critters are called Security Agent and aren't actually part of the Crey Security custom group. Their base group is the default All Custom Characters, then I added them to the Crey Security group in the group editor. This allowed them to get through all the custom group bugs and patches unscathed, and may have saved them from the attack of the swear filter.)|

Seriously devs, this going through and picking out wrongly flagged words one by one is stupid. A sweeping fix is needed.

I just got LA Noire, so I'm playing that for a while, and I can't remember when my sub expires, but I'm not sure I'll be bothered to renew it when it does. If you don't hear from me again, if anyone asks, I left because of this fiasco.

The group is actually a mix of customs and the in-game 45-50 Crey Tanks (Voltaic, Cryo, Power); I may end up having to rename those too.
I'm working on my laptop away from home; once I get on my home computer (which has the locally saved critter data) I'm hoping I can avoid the slacks issue and play around some more.
Mcm! Nooooooo!
I'm out of signature space! Arcs by Tubbius of Justice are HERE: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=218177
I was able to get two of my three unplayable arcs back to playable. Doing so took a lot of time and effort.
One of these two arcs, got a bad rating while it was unplayable which knocked down its overall rating. If the person who rated it does not read the boards, I can't really blame them. What would you rate an arc that kicked you out the moment you clicked on the door?
I have two remaining issues:
- Wolf Spider Huntsman from the standard Arachnos is marked as copyrighted/profane
- A custom character of mine named Victor is marked as copyrighted/profane
I have seen some earlier posts that indicate Victor is a problem. While I am aware there is a Victor von Doom, my Victor has nothing to do with that Victor.
I could change my Victor to something else but my take on this issue is that we should only change our arcs if they truly violate copyright or they are profane.
I am not sure if the answer is buried in this thread, but does anyone know if Victor is on the list of mistakenly flagged names or is all use of Victor deemed taboo?

It explecity said that 'Victor' was not allowed and on the list in the error messega. That is why I changed my vampire bride 'Victoria' to 'Katherine'. It is farfetched to have a name like this in the filter. I am sure as hell not going to make a mob of Dr. Doom bots and calling them all 'Victor'! :S
