lang.yml config resets with every restart #11

Closed ZECHEESELORD closed 2 years ago

ZECHEESELORD commented 3 years ago

I have a couple of questions:

Can color codes be supported in messages? Every time I make changes to the lang.yml file it gets reset on server restart Screenshot
Does lang.yml support special characters? Special characters get reverted to default config value Screenshot

Basically all edits made to the lang.yml config file resets on either reload or restart. I'm not sure if this is intended to help avoid YAML formatting errors, or a bug. I'd be very thankful if you could help me resolve this issue.

If you need debug/server logs, please let me know!

Hi,

No one else has reported this bug to me yet. I think the file is resetting because of the special characters. This is the usual reaction to a syntax problem in a yaml. Have you tried deleting the lang file, recreating it, then editing it without any special characters? I have never tried using symbols yet, I will give it a try and keep you posted.

Colors work as long as you fix the other problem first.

Thank you for the reply, I really appreciate it!

I will try your solution, will there be support for special characters in the future? Or is this not planned?

ArVdC commented 3 years ago

In fact, I didn't have to think about supporting special characters at all. It's good that you are asking me about this. I don't have time for the moment but I will definitely do it soon.

I have done some tests and it is possible to use some symbols but not all. Place the message text between " " and then use unicode, for example \u263d is for the quarter moon ☽ and \u2600 is for the sun ☀. Check the hex codes here : https://www.w3schools.com/charsets/ref_utf_symbols.asp

Alright thanks for the help! I will try this in a bit (busy atm) and I'll let you know the results. Just to make sure, it should look something like this?

"\u263d" and "\u2600"

Thanks again!

ArVdC commented 3 years ago

Yes, something like night: "\u263d" will work. You can also add text and color day: '&6\u2600 day&f'

But, in fact, ... copying and pasting symbols also works. The notepad allows you to view directly if the symbol is recognized.
