linux server Cyrillic character set

[someChanse]

I have run the server on archlinux. Script files (*.pas) are encoded ANSI.
Problem: cyrillic characters displayed in game as question marks, like this:

Code: [Select]

???? ??????? ??? ??????When I tried to convert the script files to UTF-8, cyrillic characters steel output as:

Code: [Select]

There's no direct solution to your problem, you can only try to workaround it by putting non-ansi text in seperate file and loading it via ReadFile(). Should work just good enough.

ok,thanx all the same.
Also, if on a html page avaible cyrrylic symbols, function GetURL also replace them on question marks in string(and even on windows server), but it is offtop, i think.

It's not. If after applying my solution you still see question marks instead of the desired output then try to ask somebody (from Russia, preferably) if he/she has the same problem, because that may mean that your font settings are wrongly configured. I have a script that works this way and it works just fine for Russians, but outputs some weird chars for me (something similar to your 2nd code block).

I think it depends also on the server.

This happened once to me: the letters "ä", "ö" and "ü" are shown properly ingame on a german linux machine. But they were shown as questionmarks on an american linux machine. So it may need to get some language packets or something like that installed. I think windows support always these things, so that you do not need to install something additional - but it seems like linux doesn't.

But still not sure.. ^^
