How to use lltextbox to show non-ASCII characters properly?

[keks22 Admiral]

Hi! I have following problem with function lltextbox.  When I enter non-ASCII characters (e.g. spanish, french, german) they are shown ok in text window, but when I click "submit" and try to display characters on any way, only basic ASCII characters show.Is there any solution to the problem?

Best Regards

Domen

I haven't tried this, but maybe you could experiment by using llEscapeURL and llUnescapeURL in your script to encode the high-bit ASCII characters and then display them.  I'd be curious if that works, so could you post your result in the LSL Scripting forum if you try it (whether it works or not)?

I notice that nobody else has responded to your questiuon in the past few days.  Frankly, until now I forgot to check for myself to see what happens when I type high-bit ASCII characaters in a text box.  Here's a test script ...

 

default{    touch_start (integer num)    {        llListen(34,"","","");        llTextBox(llDetectedKey(0), " \n What is your message?",34);    }    listen (integer channel, string name, key id, string msg)    {        llSay(0, msg);    }}

 If I type a word with high-bit characters in it ( like "sjömän" ) and click "Submit", it shows up just fine in chat.  It also works if I type "sjalt148malt132n"  (where I'm actually holding down the Alt key and typing 148 or 132, not typing "alt48" or "alt132").  I don't know why it's not working for you.
