Colour embedding goes wrong again... - leong124 - 30.11.2010

hello,
I found that the colour embedding for 16-bit characters is still misaligned.

Код:

new string[128] = "";
strcat(string," 輸入{FF0000}/racestart{00BF8A}可以開始");
strcat(string,RaceName[CurrentCP[playerid] - CP_BLRACE]);
strcat(string,".");
SendClientMessage(playerid, COLOR_BLUEISHGREEN, string);

Result:

Adding spaces are useless.
BTW,other problems I mentioned before are fixed

Re: Colour embedding goes wrong again... - cessil - 30.11.2010

could it be a problem with strcat? try just using format.

new string[128];
format(string,sizeof(string)," 輸入{FF0000}/racestart{00BF8A}可以開始%s.",RaceName[CurrentCP[playerid] - CP_BLRACE]);
SendClientMessage(playerid, COLOR_BLUEISHGREEN, string);

No.The problem still exists.

I'm not fully understanding this problem yet. I think it might be caused by the space: strcat(string," <- at the start of the string, since the colour is 2 characters off. But without the space pawn won't properly do the UTF-8 conversion, correct? The characters wouldn't display properly.

If you could show some more examples that would be helpful.

Re: Colour embedding goes wrong again... - leong124 - 30.11.2010

I tried to remove that space and the whole message successfully displayed,
but that bug still occurs.

The same problem occurs in number plates. Here's an example:

Код:

SetVehicleNumberPlate(vid,"{FF0000}管理員車輛");

Result:

Код:

SetVehicleNumberPlate(vid,"{FF0000}管{000000}理員車輛");

Result:

Changing the colour of the whole text is okay, but doesn't for embedding two or more colours.

Some more example:

Код:

SetVehicleNumberPlate(vid,"{FF0000}管理{000000}員車輛");

Only the last character is black.

Код:

SetVehicleNumberPlate(vid,"{FF0000}管理員{000000}車輛");

Код:

SetVehicleNumberPlate(vid,"{FF0000}管理員車{000000}輛");

and even

Код:

SetVehicleNumberPlate(vid,"{FF0000}{000000}管理員車輛");

are all red for all of the characters.

Hope it will be useful.

EDIT:
Finally I think I found the offset sequence.
I use this to find that:

Код:

SendClientMessageToAll(0xFFFFFFFF,"{FF0000}一{000000}二三四五六七八九十一二三四五六七八九十");

Just ignore the first color FF0000 (because it works fine).
When a colour is added after the 1st character, it will have an offset of 1 character, i.e. it actually takes effect after the 2nd character.

Код:

SendClientMessageToAll(0xFFFFFFFF,"{FF0000}一二三四五六七八{000000}九十一二三四五六七八九十");

This time the colour is added after the 8th character, and have an offset of 8 characters,i.e. it takes effect after the 16th character.

The same for this:

Код:

SendClientMessageToAll(0xFFFFFFFF,"一{000000}01234567890123456789");

No matter the characters are 8-bit or 16-bit, when there's a 16-bit character, the bug occurs.

Re: Colour embedding goes wrong again... - Kalcor - 01.12.2010

Thanks for posting that info. The problem is much easier to understand. If 1 character in a string is 16 bit, it seems all characters are converted to 16 bit.

I'll try to get this fixed for the next version.

Thanks and I'm looking forward to that.
It is a pretty good feature
