Valid Characters in Script Names

[Wandering Soulstar]

Hi All .. could anyone point me to where the list of characters that are valid in Script Names might be found?

Out of curiosity -- why?

My first thought would have been to look at the limits page - but it doesn't appear to have this information listed.

Failing that, I looked up llSetObjectName to see if it had any restriction - and it does. Specifically:

Quote

Names can only consist of the 95 printable characters found in the ASCII-7 (non-extended) character set, with the exception of the vertical bar/pipe ("|") character.

• Non-ASCII characters will be replaced with two question marks ("??").

Now although this is in relation to object names, I'm making an assumption that scripts might share similar restrictions - since both objects and scripts can be referenced in similar ways via object inventory. I am not able to get inworld to verify right now, but if anyone could do that, I'd appreciate it.

Tested it now and yes, you are correct.

If you try to manually use any character not in ASCII-7 on a script name the viewer makes it's error clunk/beep.

Even simple EU characters like ü,ö,ë,ç,ñ are not allowed.

@Fenix Eldritch Thanks!

@Wulfie Reanimator I am creating a texture for a display panel that shows the name of a script 🙂

The DEL character(U+007f) can be set but only via script.

Interesting! I tried to do this with llSetObjectName and a string that would contain the character, but I'm not sure if I am doing it right...

Does the sequence ALT + 127 produce the actual DEL character? All I get is a little house symbol ( ⌂ ) which in the resulting object name becomes ?? as outlined by the wiki caveats. But that's the same as with other characters - should I be expecting a different outcome specifically for the DEL character? Or did I misunderstand you?

I thought 'DEL' was an LL usage only.

llSetObjectName(llUnescapeURL("%7f"));
