[HELP][SOLVED] Characters Encoding Error - thewildlima - 12.02.2016

Hello,

So all suddenly special chars like "бзйй" etc won't appear, and i'm freaking out trying to figure out what's wrong!

Код:

stock KickMessage(playerid, message[]) {
	new strMessage[144];
	format(strMessage, sizeof(strMessage), "%s: %s", SERVER_PREFIX, message);
	SendClientMessage(playerid, COLOR_WHITE, strMessage);
	
	SetTimerEx("_KickMessage", 250, false, "i", playerid);
	return 1;
}

callback:_KickMessage(playerid) {
	Kick(playerid);
	return 1;
}

Код:

Dialog:LoginDialog(playerid, response, listitem, inputtext[]) {
	if(response) {
		return 1;
	} else {
		KickMessage(playerid, "Autenticaзгo obrigatуria. ййй");
		return 1;
	}
}

I'm killing my brain trying to figure out what happened. Could please someone tell me what's going wrong? I'm out of ideas/fixes.

Thanks...

LimaRP.pwn is saved in ANSI.
All the custom includes are in UTF-8.
In the compilation/build, UTF-8 characters will be shown as ANSI, and it causes the characters to appear like in the above attachments.

Solution: Change all files/includes back to ANSI.

Check in the attachments.

Hope this thread will help future scripters with the same issue !

Thanks to everyone who tried to help so quickly !

SA-MP can't format some of the letters,the biggest example of that is when you use the '%' sign in SA_MP chat and it automatically converts into '#'

hmm,thats weird,ive never faced a problem like this/

Try this :-

Код:

stock KickMessage(playerid, message[]) {
	new strMessage[144];
	format(strMessage, sizeof(strMessage), "%s: %s", SERVER_PREFIX, message);
	SendClientMessage(playerid, COLOR_WHITE, strMessage);

	SetTimerEx("Kick", 1000, false, "i", playerid);
	return 1;
}

forward Kick(playerid)
public Kick(playerid)
{
    Kick(playerid);
    return 1;
}

Dialog:LoginDialog(playerid, response, listitem, inputtext[]) {
	if(response) {
		return 1;
	} else {
		KickMessage(playerid, "Autenticaзгo obrigatуria. ййй");
		return 1;
	}
}

Open file with Notepad++. Go to the charset menu and make sure that it is set to UTF-8 (without BOM) and not ANSI. If it isn't, set it to that. Save file and then try to compile again.

}

Let me try, but btw the "callback:" is a macro!

Код:

#define callback:%0(%1) forward %0(%1);public %0(%1)

Vince 'ma men! It looks the .pwn file was the ugly sheep!

I went to check it on Notepad++ and it was in ANSI. I'm gonna change it and try it out.
