Hi,

I wish to be able to spam our rules in multiple languages, setting up the spammages is not the issue, my problem is that b3 won't start with  the following characters....

ö
ß
ä
ü
etc etc

Any advise welcome !!!


Thanks in advance,
Spunga.

Can you list the error messages

[spunga]

I stuck a German word, töten, into one of my spams to create this. Hopefully it says something to you because it means nothing to me.
Thanks for taking the time to try and help !!

In order to achieve this you have to use UTF8 encoding for the censor config file.

here is an example of the config file I used to test your situation :

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<configuration plugin="censor">
<settings name="settings">
<set name="max_level">40</set>
</settings>
 
<badwords>
<penalty type="warning" reasonkeyword="cuss"/>
<badword name="test1" lang="pl">
<word>qßäüsdfö</word>
</badword>
</badwords>
 
<badnames>
<penalty type="warning" reasonkeyword="badname"/>
<badname name="test2">
<regexp>qßäüsdfö</regexp>
</badname>
</badnames>
</configuration>

Notice the 1st line. It is the called the xml declaration and it specifies in witch character set the file is encoded in.

The important thing is to be sure you use the UTF-8 character set when you save that file.

You need a good text editor for that. The one I used is notepad++. Go to the 'format' menu and choose 'Convert to UTF-8'

Isn't this going to detect words with these characters in and flag it as a cuss ?

[Courgette]

of course the example in my last post is not to be used as this. It's just a test with those characters

[spunga]

Thank you !!! But,

I tried that and it does not work.

I know I am trying to have German ascents (I think they are called), but to keep it simple, this is an example line from my admin.xml in my spammages section to spam a single encoded character, the copyright sign, this is just to figure it out on 1 character and go on from there.


<set name="grule1">&#169;My Clan</set>


As you explained, I have tried both of these xml declarations
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
and
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

and I've also tried Notepad++ formatting in both 8859 & UTF-8 respectively.

I hope that makes some kind of sense.

Thanks again!

[spunga]

Forgot to mention that having the xml declaration for the character set does mean that b3 starts, which is further than before. (thank you)

But now when I run !s grule1 , nothing appears on the screen.
It looks like it is doing it, just not presenting it on the screen.


I am crap at describing events, hopefully you get it.

[Courgette]

ok, if you want to display thoses characters ingame in the chat box, make sure your game supports other character set than ASCII.
For example, with Urban Terror, you cannot use accentuated characters. maybe that's why. Which game are you using ?

[spunga]

COD2 & COD4.

[flinkaflenkaflrsk]

courgette,

the character set you define is in the censor plugin I think spunga is talking bout spammages in the plugin_admin.xml.

Can you also define a chracter set there?

[Courgette]

@fff: it should. As all config files are XML files. (here is a tutorial for xml syntax if you want to learn more about it)

@spunga: do the same for the plugin_admin.xml config file and give it a try.
Also, try to write accentuated characters in chat ingame to see if your games support them.

[spunga]

I have tried so many times with plugin_admin.xml and so many ways, god knows how many hours, I just get it to work. MY BRAIN HURTS !!

If, in in-game chat, I can type ALT 0232 for example to give me a è ,this works. So the character set is supported in game, I just cannot get my spammages to work.


Any other thoughts?

[Courgette]

When trying to display a spam message, do you have any errors in the bot log ?
