[ANY] RTLer - Support for Right-to-Left Languages

alongub · **Author**

RTLer

Provides in-game chat support for Right-to-Left languages, such as Hebrew and Arabic.

Note: This plugin uses the Simple Chat Processor (Redux) plugin to manipulate chat, and it is required.

Change Log

1.0.5 (16 June 2012)

Added a cvar for the minimum percent of RTL letters in a word for the word's direction to be considered right to left in a statistical analysis.
Set the value of the minimum cvar to be 10% instead of the previous hard-coded 70%. This should fix some formatting issues.

1.0.4 (10 June 2012)

Fixed some formatting issues reported by FudgePoly and shavit.
Fixed API RTLifying left-to-right words (so my version of basechat.smx should work now as expected).
Better Counter-Strike: Global Offensive support.
Changed Updater URL, so you need to update manually.

1.0.3 (24 February 2012)

Added support for Updater.
Using statistical analysis now to test word rtl-ness, instead of just checking the first letter (fixes some formatting issues).

1.0.2 (23 February 2012)

Added a cvar for flag-based chat correction restriction.
See post #17 for admin chat support.

1.0.1 (17 February 2012)

Added developers' API.
Added support for almost any Right-to-Left language.

1.0.0 (13 February 2012)

Developers' API

Code:

/**
 * Converts a string that contains words in RTL languages to be displayed correctly in-game.
 *
 * @param dest 			Destination string buffer to copy the RTL-ed string to.
 * @param destLen		Destination buffer length (includes null terminator).
 * @param original		Original non-rtled string. 
 *
 * @return The amount of words that needed RTLifying.
 */
native RTLify(String:dest[], destLen, const String:original[]);

Example plugin:

Code:

#pragma semicolon 1

#include <sourcemod>
#include <rtler>

public OnPluginStart()
{
	AddCommandListener(OnRTLifyCommand, "rtlify");
}

public Action:OnRTLifyCommand(client, const String:command[], argc)
{
	new String:arg[192];
	GetCmdArgString(arg, sizeof(arg));

	new len = strlen(arg);

	decl String:dest[len];
	RTLify(dest, len, arg);

	PrintToChat(client, dest);
	return Plugin_Handled;
}
