Add ANSI to UTf8 native
Add Utf8 to ANSI native

I find a function in amx.cpp "amx_UTF8Put".

Can you export as amxx native and add UTF8toANSI function?

It's very useful for using multilingual user.

thanks.

These functions don't really do what I think you want them to do. Why do you need UTF-8 specific functions? Although AMX Mod X does not support UTF-8, most functions should be able to use it by default (except for the isalpha, isspace, etc functions).

What are you trying to do?

For example:

   new msg[] = "friends=老友记"
   client_print(id, print_chat, msg)

1: save file as ANSI and compile it. Screen display: "friends=" // miss "老友记"
2: save file as UTF8(no BOM) and compile it. Screen display: "friends=老友记" // we alway do this before

if we have native like format_utf8(....)
we can do like this:

   new utf8String[64], msg[] = "friends=老友记"
   format_utf8(utf8String,63,msg)
   client_print(id, print_chat, utf8String)

save file as ANSI and compile it. Screen display: "friends=老友记"
It is useful when reading lang file and no need to save whole file as utf8.

Actually, I am already done this kind of native by self(works but badly C++ coding).
So if you still think is not realy need it, lock. thanks

I'm confused... isn't ANSI just English and European languages? isn't that why they made Unicode? If so, how can you expect the file to save as ANSI?

[BAILOPAN]

I'm confused... the reason it's not working is because you're not saving as UTF-8. The encoding will be wrong with ANSI. You shouldn't need a new native, just save as UTF-8.

lock it, thank.
