With versions 1.8x I can not solve it because:
1) Binaries are different from those published in the wiki solution, and I do not know what to modify and where.
2) Using the [encoding convertfrom utf-8] function nothing happens.

Examples of what is bad displayed:
MyBoT: Â«Â» The song Â«Â» Cristian Castro - Buenos DÃ-as Amor
When it should be showed like this:
MyBoT: «» The song «» Cristian Castro - Buenos Días Amor
Anyone have any solutions to these problems?

Hello,

You should edit the tcl.c file (located in eggdrop-1.8.x/src) find this:

Code:

if (encoding == NULL) {    encoding = "iso8859-1";  }

And add the utf-8 coding.

Code:

if (encoding == NULL) {    encoding = "iso8859-1";    encoding = "utf-8";  }

Recompile and install the bot! I hope this solves your problem!
Good luck!

Eggdrop vers 1.8x problems with ascii and latin characters

2017-04-24T14:34:01-04:00

There are a lot of potential problem sources in this. Where are you getting the data from originally? If it's a script can you pastebin it somewhere or here?

I get the data per socket from the Shoutcast website, see Shoutcast TCL by domsen.

The name of the song is stored in the cursong variable.

As the data is not well coded in that web, I solve it with these commands:

Code:

regsub -all "{" $cursong "" cursongregsub -all "}" $cursong "" cursongregsub -all "Ñ" $cursong "Ñ" cursongregsub -all "Ó" $cursong "Ó" cursongregsub -all "Ú" $cursong "Ú" cursongregsub -all "á" $cursong "á" cursongregsub -all "é" $cursong "é" cursongregsub -all "í" $cursong "í" cursongregsub -all "ó" $cursong "ó" cursongregsub -all "ú" $cursong "ú" cursongregsub -all "ñ" $cursong "ñ" cursongregsub -all "±" $cursong "ñ" cursongregsub -all "ç" $cursong "ç" cursongregsub -all " " $cursong "à" cursongregsub -all "¡" $cursong "á" cursongregsub -all "¢" $cursong "â" cursongregsub -all "£" $cursong "ã" cursongmore ..... more .......

I know these commands are obsolete (deprecated) in new versions and I would have to use something like:

Code:

set cursong [string map [list "Ñ" Ñ "Ó" Ó "Ú" Ú......... more....more......] $cursong]

But I do not want to modify all my codes and recompile everything if I'm not 100% sure that I'll work fine coding for ascii characters and Latin accents.

Eggdrop vers 1.8x problems with ascii and latin characters

2017-04-22T06:14:48-04:00

Currently I use:

Eggdrop v1.6.21, Configured with: '--with-handlen = 32'
Tcl library: /usr/share/tcl8.5
Tcl version: 8.5.13 (header version 8.5.13)
OS: Linux 3.10.23-xxxx-std-ipv6-64-vps
Tcl is threaded.

How did I solved so that the ascii characters, latin accents, and the Ñ ñ letters could be visualized?
1) Modifying the binaries, see Bugs/Utf-8
2) Using the function [encoding convertfrom utf-8]
like this: set goodtext [encoding convertfrom utf-8 "$latintext"]

With versions 1.8x I can not solve it because:
1) Binaries are different from those published in the wiki solution, and I do not know what to modify and where.
2) Using the [encoding convertfrom utf-8] function nothing happens.

Examples of what is bad displayed:

MyBoT: Â«Â» The song Â«Â» Cristian Castro - Buenos DÃ-as Amor

When it should be showed like this:

MyBoT: «» The song «» Cristian Castro - Buenos Días Amor

Anyone have any solutions to these problems?
