Extended ASCII Characters in ET Pro 3

In ET Pro 3.0.1, you are finally able to use extended ASCII characters as you could in RTCW. Not all of these characters work outside of the console, but they do exist should you feel a need to use them.




The two images above display a table of all ASCII characters allowed in ET Pro 3, the top image displaying what it appears as in the console and the bottom displaying what it appears as in-game.

To use these characters, you can (if you're using Windows) use alt+xxxx, where xxxx is a series of numbers. (found using the Character Map, usually found in Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> System -> Character Map.) If you prefer not to use this method, there's another easy way - you can use the a two-character hex code to represent the ASCII character. Each time you see a "=XX" in the screenshot above, the =XX is the hex code that represents the ASCII character to the right of it.

If you try to use these in game (e.g. /vsay hi =aaHELLO=ab,) you'll soon find that it won't display them right away. To make the game recognize them, you'll have to run them through cmd - such as /cmd vsay hi =aaHELLO=ab. Without the essential cmd, your characters will come out completely normal.

The code used to generate the above script was written by Rain. Here's the config, aptly named ascii.cfg:

Remember that if you want to use the = you must no longer use = as a sign.

You have to use =3d instead

Correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't the default PB setting kick for Extra-ASCII characters within a player name?

[Deus]

this doesn't work for playernames. only chat messages and banners

and most of em only work in conosle

iv tested the script and you are missing 00 07 09 0A 0B 0C 0D 20 22 A0

Hi,

Would be great, if CR or LF would work too (to make line breaks). But 0A(10), or 0D (13) won't work ...

Couple week ago I ran into strange problem. When I tried to play ET the prog didn't start. All modules ET.EXE loaded crashed instantly ! What the hell...I re-installed ET twice, did everything I could. No help
It took me one week to find out the problem

The problem was my player name !
I had tried SCANDINAVIAN LETTERS (like ö and ä) in player name and forgotten that .
