about chinese display
Re: about chinese display
Hi. I have similar problems. I'm using Mudlet 1.1.0 under Mac OS. All chinese characters don't display correctly. Is there anything I can do with the settings? Thank you for keeping the software updating and all your help.
Re: about chinese display
I haven't included the patch that supportsr Chinese characters yet. I will do so if some Chinese people show up that are willing to do extensive testing and willing to help with patching the Lua api to work with unicode. It's not difficult, but it's definitely a fair amount of work.
Re: about chinese display
I would like to help although I'm not good at LUA. But I should be able to help some verification. Let me know how it can go. Thanks.

Hello I have a same issue but with russian (KOI8-R) characters on unicode system. A now I'm trying to investigate code for a some possible hack. Maybe You just upload your patch for unicode support and I will propose my possible assistance?Heiko wrote:I haven't included the patch that supportsr Chinese characters yet.

Re: about chinese display
Hello Heiko, I am also trying to play the same Chinese mud (www.pkuxkx.net:8080) with mudlet. It seems the patch is not in mudlet 2.1Heiko wrote:I haven't included the patch that supportsr Chinese characters yet.

I am willing to help testing this patch.
I can read and write Chinese. I have programming experience but I am new to Lua.
How can I help?

Re: about chinese display
I am sorry to report Vadim but my FireFox browser is warning of:
Reported Unwanted Software Page!
This web page at www.pkuxkx.net has been reported to contain unwanted software and has been blocked based on your security preferences.
Unwanted software pages try to install software that can be deceptive and affect your system in unexpected ways.
Hopefully that is a false positive but I would advise caution without further information.
Anyhow, further improvements are in the pipeline after the recent merge of Pull Request1668 in which we (GitHub user @novload and myself) have made an attempt to sort out the spacing needed for parts of the World where some characters are drawn in a space twice as wide as others - and the cases where some character are draw as wide OR narrow (we have made it dependent on the MUD Server encoding for the moment - using the GBK or GB18030 encodings will cause those ambiguous width characters to be drawn wide otherwise they will be drawn narrow by default but this can be forced either way manually if needed per profile).
However the highlighting and selection by the user with a mouse or by the actions of triggers is still not right at present but it will be worked on again shortly...

Re: about chinese display
Yep, I get that warning as well, they host cracked copies of zmud and cmud on that website.
