[Ningaglio]

File in autorun/server/chat_filter.lua

hook.Add("PlayerSay", "chat_filter", function( player, strText )

	local tab = {}
	
 
	if ( IsValid( player ) ) then
		table.insert( tab, player )
	else
		table.insert( tab, "Console" )
	end
	
	local incomplete = string.Explode( strText, " ")
	local pre_table = util.KeyValuesToTable( file.Read( "meisno/reham.txt" ) )
	
	local function apartk()
		for k,v in ipairs(pre_table) do
			return k
		end
	end
	
	local function apartv( K )
		for k,v in ipairs(pre_table) do
			if k == K then
				return v
			end
		end
	end
	
	for k,v in ipairs(incomplete) do
		local value = tostring(v)
		if value == apartK() then
			value = apartv( k )
		end
	end
	
	local complete = string.Implode( incomplete , " " )
 
	table.insert( tab, Color( 255, 255, 255 ) )
	table.insert( tab, ": "..complete )
 
	chat.AddText( unpack(tab) )
 
	return true
 
end)

Code in data/meisno/reham.txt

"CHAT_FILTER"
{
	"fuck"		"F***"
	"shit"		"S***"
	"GMT"		"Narb"
}

Test it in a listen server first, it's got to be erroring somewhere or not functioning. Server errors aren't visible unless you host the server or you are the server.

Next, I somehow remember that this conflicts with commands, but oh well. Anyhow, someone wrote a censor for me a while back.

Also, use [lua] tags not

 tags in the future.

That is not how you would use PlayerSay to alter the text. If you want to filter the word 'fuck' in chat text, you would do this:
[lua]hook.Add( "PlayerSay", "Filter", function( ply, txt )
return string.replace( txt, "fuck", "****" )
end )[/lua]
You were trying to needlessly call chat.AddText, which does not exist serverside.

Are you sure to use string.replace?

Yes he is. He just forgot to capitalize it
[lua]
hook.Add( "PlayerSay", "Filter", function( ply, txt )
return string.Replace( txt, "fuck", "****" )
end )
[/lua]

Use [b][url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/?title=String.gsub]String.gsub [img]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/img][/url][/b] instead, it is faster.
