  • UTF8 doorgame?

    From ryan@21:1/168 to g00r00 on Thu Mar 12 09:19:24 2020
    Hey g00r00,

    I've been trying to configure a roguelike as a doorgame. The game in
    particular is "cataclysm-DDA" - https://cataclysmdda.org/

    If you want to quickly mock this up, just
    'wget https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/releases/download/0.D/cataclysmdda -0.D-8574-Linux-Curses.tar.gz'

    Untar it and try running './cataclysm' from a command line. Note that you
    need to have a terminal capable of displaying the unicode characters for it
    to look right.

    When trying to launch from mystic with 'DD' the unicode characters are all garbled. I've seen on x84 (specifically, haliphax's board 79 columns - oddnetwork.org) that the unicode characters display correctly. I also note
    that on his BBS that the arrow keys work, whereas from Mystic they do not.

    Do you have any idea what may be happening here?

    Thanks!

    Hey g00r00,

    I have another weird one, this time I'm trying to run "frogcomposband" - continued wonky display issues. This is also just trying to output in utf8 as far as I can tell. Any help getting these roguelikes working would be
    excellent :)

    Thanks

    Can you give me some more details? Are you running it through local terminal or MIS? What terminal client if remote?

    There needs to be some enhancements to support various types of door encoding combined with the user selected codepage in Mystic because there aren't flags to tell what doors will run it (and no way to know).

    Maybe this alongside with some CP437 DOSEMU doors could server as a good test bed to get this stuff going.

    Really though I want to revamp the entire codepage stuff because what is
    there now was really just a bandaid.

    I actually got it to work, I had to do some hacky stuff with information I found on the synchronet wiki about termcap and setting the TERM to ansi-bbs. But hey, it works :P

    I would paste but posting from iPad. If you google 'synchronet termcap'
    you'll see what I'm talking about.

    Thanks for your reply regardless :)
