Zugg Software :: View topic - zmud can't support foreign language very well!

Beginner Joined: 27 Mar 2004 Posts: 27

Such as Japanese language and Chinese language, dual-byte characters, can't be supported very well.
Every time I want to catch a line of these language and assign the line to a variable, the variable always can't display correctly.
Only some of words of the two language could show correctly, while others can't.A line including a lot of these characters never can show very well in the screen.
Could you help me plz?

Try using &%*{varname}, or for regex (?varname:.*) and (?varname:S*) in your trigger pattern to capture these lines directly into your variable. Getting to know more about trigger patterns will help a lot, regex is very versatile.

zMUD does not support multi-byte Unicode languages, and never will, sorry.

"zMUD does not support multi-byte Unicode languages, and never will, sorry."
??
any why?

Because the development tools I use do not fully support Unicode, and the custom screen-scrolling component used in zMUD would have to be re-written from scratch.

Display of the language is fine as long as you have the font install,
as to trigger there is way to work around not able to capture text,
hint hint, for all those words that can't be display, look at the second half of the word.

I have found it's must be a bug of ZMud Script.
I can use VBScript to solve this problem.
I am only wish you can check the code to find the causes for this bug and improve software quality.
Since you want breeds some bugs, its nothings all to me.

Test, it's not that he doesn't want to fix the bug. It's that he's got a bigger project now, and that is CMUD. zMUD is a thing of the past, and will probably become practically obsolete in the near future.

Delphi 2008 will finally be fully Unicode compliant, well perhaps as they've been promising it for a long time and never delivered, so eventually CMUD will be Unicode compliant but zMUD never will.

Wow this is an old post to be resurrected, how did you find it gamesover?

Interesting, do you mean that Zmud will become history and Cmud will replace it in near future?

Depends what you mean by "will replace it" and "the near future". zMUD is no longer developed; CMUD is. zMUD is no longer supported on the latest version of Windows (Vista); CMUD is. In those respects, CMUD has already replaced zMUD.
