Just tested it:



Appears to be working, though I am not 100% sure how the character set works. If I am correct in how I think, then the bad characters in my screenshot is because I am using a English computer, and if you were using a French computer it would display fine (?).

If not, I need to find a way to change to a different character set dependant on locale loaded.

I have tested on my computer and it's the same problem, characters are not supported... Where is UTF-8 when we need him  :lol:

It would not. The use encoding is utf8, while you seem to be using some 8859 or alike.

Can you test this version for me? https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/110 ... chTest.exe

I tried converting the string to UTF8 but it just displays as '???' for those characters on my computer.

If this doesn't work for me, I will have to give up without help. I have no idea what I am doing. ^^

Calling:

Code: [Select]

SpellDBC.Local2D_String = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(UTF8Encoding.Convert(System.Text.Encoding.ASCII, System.Text.Encoding.UTF8, System.Text.Encoding.Default.GetBytes(dict.Item(SpellDBC.Local2D))))


[hyakkimaru]

Same problem, my characters are changed into ""

Well then, I guess it's term to hail the glorious English master-language.

Jokes aside, I don't know how to fix this. I understand it should be UTF8 but I do not know how to convert it to this format.

According to google my strings should be using UTF-16 (UNICODE).

When I convert from UNICODE to UTF8 it outputs:

Code: [Select]

畔⁥湩瑳湡慴썮涩湥⁴慬挠扩敬‮㼿獥썰犨⁥畱⁥潶獵瘠畯⁳敳瑮穥戠敩慤獮瘠瑯敲瀠慥⁵慭湩整慮瑮⸮.

This doesn't seem right either.

So I am giving up for now until someone can give me more information on where I could be going wrong.

[hyakkimaru]

I'm not sure but I think you can try with UTF8 or latin1

and to Win-1252?

[schlumpf]

Code: [Select]

Encoding.UTF8.GetString
  (UTF8Encoding.Convert
    ( System.Text.Encoding.ASCII
    , System.Text.Encoding.UTF8
    , System.Text.Encoding.Default.GetBytes (offset)
    )
  )The problem is the "convert".
System.Text.Encoding.Default is some ANSI encoding of your system, thus a not really well defined value.
Then, you're converting from ANSI (?), hard-reinterpreting it as ASCII, to UTF8. That's just non-sense. All it may do is filtering non-ASCII-characters, which is why you're seeing question marks.

You should do

Code: [Select]

System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetString (System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes (offset))and everything should be fine.

Thank you, the changes suggested appear to work.

Committed to GitHub, updated the dropbox link. The new version should work.
