UTF-8 support?

[DomiStyle]

Hello, I tried tracing down a problem in DaRT that causes russian symbols to not get shown. I tried to see where the problem is and I believe it is in BattleNET. Since it works fine in BERCon I would say RCon is not the problem too, as well as the textbox I am writing to which is already UTF-8. Could you take a look?

Could you provide me with some login details for a (heavy populated) server? I shut down my own server a few weeks ago so I'm not able to test anything at the moment. (You can PM me on the forums if you want to)

[DomiStyle]

Sent you the login details via PM.

[marceldev89]

Thank you, much appreciated. :)

Tested it both in DaRT and my own and seems to be working as it should. :)

It appears that there is still a problem with the encoding. This time the other way around. When sending a message via BattleNET that contains cyrillic characters like И, Д, Ф and Я it gets displayed as ? ingame. I tested every single step in DaRT and the encoding works fine till I pass the message to BattleNET. I would guess that there is a problem with the encoding in the String2Bytes class. However, it seems like BattlEye doesn't like UTF-8 that much. Atleast it appears that BattleNET gets stuck in the connecting process when I try to use UTF-8. Trying to only encode the command with UTF-8 didn't work very well either. Can't really say if BERCon is able to post cyrillic characters at the moment. I would assume it is able to do so though.

if the problem it's in the console try setting Console.InputEncoding = Encoding.UTF8 Console.OutputEncoding = Encoding.UTF8

[marceldev89]

Won't work. See this discussion.

[DomiStyle]

Nope, not a problem with the console. My console is already set to UTF-8 and the font I use in DaRT supports UTF-8. Maybe it's worth asking which encoding they use with BattlEye? Since there are many russian people playing and I saw a few admins writing russian in admin chat already there must be a proper encoding they use.

Changing all encodings to Encoding.GetEncoding(1251) seems to help a little bit. It will properly display cyrillic in console but not ingame.

[marceldev89]

There has to be some way to make it work. BattlEye is fully capable of sending Cyrillic so I guess it should also be possible to receive it somehow.

Hello? i just wanted to say ho i solve this problem:

In start of BattleNet client:

Console.InputEncoding = Encoding.Default; Console.OutputEncoding = Encoding.UTF8;

And when assembling commands:

command = Encoding.GetEncoding(1252).GetString(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(command));

And everytrhing works for me

[marceldev89]

Hmm I thought I tried that before, converting UTF8 to 1252. I'll see if I can incorporate that into the library. Thanks. :)

@ziellos2k This variant with no changing library, if you can make it in library it will be nice :) I do not have so much time for understanding all code of library so i cannot find where i can change this and solve this issue... sorry for my bad english :)

[marceldev89]

Reopening this so I don't forget. ^^

[DomiStyle]

Will this be in the next version coming out soon or should I take some time to implement it into DaRT?

[marceldev89]

Should be in the coming update.

[DomiStyle]

Good to hear. Will wait for the coming update then.
