problem with åäö in Xaseco 1.05/6

[lgrfbs-sweden]

Hi all
I try to upgrade me server from aseco 0.91 to Xaseco 1.05 & 1.06 but I get some problems with it.

*A, I can not use "åäö" in <welcome> tag in file: config.xml then I run Xaseco 1.05 & 1.06 but in Aseco 0.91 is it not problem at all.

*B, The ">> New Player: DenniZ Nation: SWE Ladder: 0 Server: None" and ">> DenniZ has left the game" do not show up in Xaseco 1.05 & 1.06.

The server is a TMN system.

How shall I do for solve this problems?

[lgrfbs-sweden]

Well, I have never gotten æ, ø and å to function in any Xaseco I think
Don't know a solution...

*caughs and cracks my fingers some*

Well after having been sitting and talking with my brother (lgrfbs) on the phone for some time an old memory surfaced
that we had managed to succeed with getting "åäö" / special characters to work in aseco 0.91.
But at the same time we were trying to get it to work in remoteCP as well. Anyhow, after having gone thru
the code inside aseco.php from 0.91 and comparing it with the original it was one little piece that sticked out.
So when we tried this with the TMF version (1.06), it showed that it was precisly that bit which was missing.


Posting two bits of code, the first one is the original in the aseco.php file. (Aseco 1.06).
The second code bit, is the small change which was done to allow special characters to be used in the welcome text.

Code: Select all

	// send welcome popup or chat message
	if ($this->settings['welcome_msg_window']) {
		if ($this->server-getGame() == 'TMF')
			$message = str_replace('{#highlite}', '{#message}', $message);
			$message = split('{br}', $this->formatColors($message));
			foreach ($message as &$line)
				$line = array($line);
			display_manialink($player_item->login, '',
				array('Icons64x64_1', 'Inbox'), $message,
				array(1.2), 'OK');
		} else { // TMN
			$message = str_replace('{br}', LF, $this->formatColors($message));
			$this->client->query('SendDisplayServerMessageToLogin', $player_item->login, $message, 'OK', '', 0);
		}
	} else {
		$message = str_replace('{br}', LF, $this->formatColors($message);
		$this->client->query('ChatSendServerMessageToLogin', str_replace(LF . LF, LF, $message), $player_item->login);
	}

Code: Select all

	// send welcome popup or chat message
	if ($this->settings['welcome_msg_window']) {
		if ($this->server-getGame() == 'TMF')
			$message = utf8_encode(str_replace('{#highlite}', '{#message}', $message));
			$message = split('{br}', $this->formatColors($message));
			foreach ($message as &$line)
				$line = array($line);
			display_manialink($player_item->login, '',
				array('Icons64x64_1', 'Inbox'), $message,
				array(1.2), 'OK');
		} else { // TMN
			$message = utf8_encode(str_replace('{br}', LF, $this->formatColors($message)));
			$this->client->query('SendDisplayServerMessageToLogin', $player_item->login, $message, 'OK', '', 0);
		}
	} else {
		$message = utf8_encode(str_replace('{br}', LF, $this->formatColors($message));
		$this->client->query('ChatSendServerMessageToLogin', str_replace(LF . LF, LF, $message), $player_item->login);
	}

Anyhow, that's it. Time to let the brain go and relax.

Nice catch, will be in the next release. Thanks.

@lgrfbs: is it working in 1.08?

Xaseco won't start with ö, æ, ø, å in config.xml startup-message. Haven't tested it in 1.08 until now.

It hasn't worked in all previous releases, so I thought that was changed in 1.08 to make it work. A little confused by this, but ok I'll look more into it.

edit: no, æ, ø and å (or åäö for that matter) doesn't work in 1.08 with or without the utf-8-changes. (atleast what I could find)

They display for me on both classic TMN and TMF when using the utf8_encode calls. I don't know why on some other servers they shouldn't be encoded, let alone why it doesn't work for you in either case. Maybe you're doing something wrong, but please let me know if you find out what does work.

PS. Surely you're not putting them into <startup>? This is and has always been about accented characters in <welcome> and only <welcome>...

[lille79]

It's in the <welcome>-message in config.xml (Don't know why I said startup )
When inserting this character in any welcome-message

Code: Select all

ø

I get this result:

Code: Select all

[XASECO Fatal Error] Could not read/parse config file config.xml ! on line 416 in file D:\Temp\usbTMFserver_v2.6\TMF\control\xaseco_3\aseco.php

Can it be something with the web-server?

XAseco just tries to load that config file, it doesn't do anything with any webserver. That character works fine on my server, so I still have no idea why it errors out on yours. The .xml file is declared to be UTF-8 though, so maybe you're inserting the non-ASCII characters with an editor that doesn't support that character set?

Microsoft ****** lol

I'll never use Wordpad again. Thanks Xymph. Downloaded notepad++ and set the format to "Encode in UTF-8" when typing in the text. That worked.

Try using FoxE, http://www.firstobject.com/dn_editor.htm

It's a really nice XML editor.

off topic, but do you know of a good file comparison-application for Windows too?

WinDiff?

I use Beyond Compare because it came with my editor (dunno what it costs separate, but it isn't free). Does a really nice job of syncing between files, even where there are lots of differences between the files.
