Support for extended ascii characters ?

Post by featherwood » Tue Aug 17, 2004 7:32 am

I would like to try some tradeskill macros on the french server but I keep getting problems with many components such as "Ethereal suspension" which is written "Suspension éthérée" in french, the macro keep on telling me "Cannot find component : Suspension ٱthٱrٱe".

I'm not speaking here about a macro problem but about a mq2 problem, others components (names without "é,è,î,...") are working as they should. So I think it could be because extended ascii codes aren't supported in mq2.

Would it not make sense, since the "normal" names work fine, that you should use the English version of the name since the French version is not working?

Just because TEXT output is in French does not mean that the entire code was rewritten, changing all item names coded within the game, in French. That just is not happening. The text output files can be loaded in many languages from the patch screen. These do not change the actual game, just what language you get shown on your screen.
Fuck writing MQ2 macros. Go with IS scripts; IS Rules!

I meant that french item names without these extended characters are working as they should, not english ones.

Item names are not client side (they aren't in those text output files) but server side and yes they did translate the whole database in french on our server.
