Gametext/textdraw encoding fix - mooman - 05.12.2012

After some testing I've found that you can use the following characters in gametext and textdraws:
А Б В Д Ж З И Й К Л М Н О П Т У Ф Ц Щ Ъ Ы Ь Я а б в д ж з и й к л м н о п т у ф ц щ ъ ы ь С с ї Ў °
but you need to convert your string's encoding first to what I am calling the GTASA charset. The fix I'm providing will convert from Windows-1252 which is what people usually have as their ANSI charset if their language is written with the above characters.

Код:

stock convert_encoding(string[])
{
	new original[50] = {192,193,194,196,198,199,200,201,202,203,204,205,206,207,210,211,212,214,217,218,219,220,223,224,225,226,228,230,231,232,233,234,235,236,237,238,239,242,243,244,246,249,250,251,252,209,241,191,161,176};
	new fixed[50] = {128,129,130,131,132,133,134,135,136,137,138,139,140,141,142,143,144,145,146,147,148,149,150,151,152,153,154,155,156,157,158,159,160,161,162,163,164,165,166,167,168,169,170,171,172,173,174,175,94,124};
	new len = strlen(string);
	for (new i; i < len; i++) {
		for(new j;j < 50;j++) {
			if(string[i] == original[j]) {
				string[i] = fixed[j];
				break;
			}
		}
	}
}

Example of usage:

Код:

convert_encoding(str);
GameTextForAll(str,5000,4);

So far I've only tested this only for strings from text files and command input as I don't like to write code containing non ASCII characters.

If you want to convert from another charset, you can use this list I compiled:

Код:

char	GTASA code point
А	128
Б	129
В	130
Д	131
Ж	132
З	133
И	134
Й	135
К	136
Л	137
М	138
Н	139
О	140
П	141
Т	142
У	143
Ф	144
Ц	145
Щ	146
Ъ	147
Ы	148
Ь	149
Я	150
а	151
б	152
в	153
д	154
ж	155
з	156
и	157
й	158
к	159
л	160
м	161
н	162
о	163
п	164
т	165
у	166
ф	167
ц	168
щ	169
ъ	170
ы	171
ь	172
С	173
с	174
ї	175
Ў	94
°	124

Hopefully this will help some of you. I'm aware it's not the most efficient function and doesn't even convert all of Windows-1252 but maybe if we're lucky someone better at coding than me will find it useful, rewrite it and share their solution.

The SS link is broken, and though not useful for me, this seems good..

Re: Gametext/textdraw encoding fix - DrSlett - 05.12.2012

Good, I go test it.

Re: Gametext/textdraw encoding fix - Caupo - 29.04.2014

Works for me.

Big thanks, mooman.

PS: Also gave you some rep for it.

Re: Gametext/textdraw encoding fix - Niko_boy - 30.04.2014

i am not sure why we need to use them mostly. Ye i know some languages have them characters in their sentences but still.

Anyway good attempt

Re: Gametext/textdraw encoding fix - SimonItaly - 30.04.2014

Wow, I've never knew that, thanks!
We use accent marks in Italian language and sometimes it looks very bad if you replace и with e' in textdraws.

How about ąčęėįљųū characters?

Re: Gametext/textdraw encoding fix - mooman - 10.05.2014

Those glyphs aren't in the GTASA font files so it's not possible AFAIK.

Re: Gametext/textdraw encoding fix - basicllsw - 28.07.2014

can use in thai language
