Re: Input character encoding

Am currently looking at Mudlet's Lua handling of Utf-8 and, um, currently, it doesn't much, ☹ . However, as Vadi points out there are many places where the Lua system is being sent ASCII encoded data via toLatin1() calls instead of toUtf8() which I think we need to use - and we also need to handle w...

Re: Replay controls Missing

Ah, I vaguely recall I might have spotted a bug in the bit of code that does the speed controls - there ought to be a some extra buttons that appear on a new tool-bar inserted onto the main tool-bar that shows in order: the time in the replay; speed up button; speed down buttons and finally the time...

Re: Mudlet exits when trying to import package

Ah, if you haven't already got this sorted, run-mudlet.sh will be a shell-script which (I guess, because I don't run it like that - but then I'm a developer and things can get a bit more complicated for us) is: #!/bin/sh cd `dirname $0` export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$PWD:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH ./mudlet which is ...

Re: scrambled debug output

@fetaera - um, that IS the error console the OP was talking about...! :(

Can either of you reproduce it in a consistent way, and which OS, version of OS and Mudlet, and fonts are involved?

Re: scrambled debug output

Is that a replacement of every other character by a space/space-like character? Which version are you using?

Re: getMudletHomeDir() and encoding

I've posited a one line fix on Launchpad that might solve the problem but can you modify, compile and test it? I can't really duplicate the environment - I found a bug in a Debian system utility trying to create a user with that name on my system but it isn't Windows so isn't really a valid test env...

Re: getMudletHomeDir() and encoding

Referring to the example you give the user name has two accented characters which are 'á' U+00e1 {Latin small letter a with acute} and 'č' U+010d {Latin small letter c with caron}. The first, although strictly a non-ASCII character is within the Unicode Latin-1 supplement block and is within range o...

Re: getMudletHomeDir() and encoding

Ah, just a quick thought but the Lua sub-system shipped with Mudlet may not handle and may not be receiving non-ASCII characters from the core - by rights we ought to be passing UTF-8 data between the two (which is character encoding that is a superset that encapsulates pure ASCII unchanged) but I t...

Re: Survival without a mousewheel

Sorry to necro this but I also sometimes use a mouse without a wheel and I have a possible source code change to leverage-in the ability to zoom in and out by pressing either the middle or BOTH outer mouse buttons and moving the mouse up and down - which can be faster for large zoom value changes. W...

Re: Doing computer notifications from Mudlet

Trawling through the old posts found this but found that although I had the DBUS infrastructure in place on my Debian 7.3 (Wheezy) I did not have the notify-send command - turned out it was in libnotify-bin package - if that helps anyone else and at version 0.7.5 there are at least the following opt...
