Hi, Everyone!

I have the problem... I want to add in my project new language "Russin"...

The events written in Russian, but when I start the game, i show "?????????".... plz help me!

How have you added the new language?

Have you translated every feature or used a script?

Maybe there's some code error, or at least some problem with fonts...

Can you post a screenshot?
I require further information.

I hope this is not a font problem...
What kind of font are you using?
Are you sure it has cyrillic letters support? Some fonts, like Windings or Webdings, for example, aren't supported. If the characters you're using are not part of the font template, they could not be displayed correctly.

This can be a major issue, I suppose...

However, I don't know Pokémon Essentials very well...
Maybe someone else could help you better...

I used many fonts... but nothing has helped... well, thank you for help =)

I've had the same problem with some other font, so I asked for support.
Kread EX answered something that can interest you as well:

Russians characters will only appear if your system locale is set to Russian, or if the application runs in Unicode. RMXP technically uses UTF-8 encoding but strangely doesn't display Unicode characters anyway. So your only option is to find a font which replaces the Latin alphabet with the Russian one.
Or use UmePlus Gothic if you need symbols.

So there are problems in RMXP...
The program seems not able to display correctly not-ANSI characters, like cyrillic...

I know the possible solution.
The Pokemon Fonts able only standard english characters.
Polish, Russian, Chineese itp. characters are changed to ???.
You must edit the fonts to select with normal (Unicode) fonts.
If you do not know how to edit this, send Private Message to me.

Solution nr 2:

- Use Advanced Message Script, sample WhiteFlute's MultiMessage.
- Edit this adding command (for example) \z[x], where x is the link to the database.
- Create Database (Sample) here:

CODE

module XW # Shortest as possible is recommended
def self.w(x) # Shortest as possible is recommended
case w
when 0 then return 'RussianChar1'
when 1 then return 'RussianChar2'
when 2 then return 'ChineeseChar' # Only if you have installed asiatic fonts.
end
end
end

In script to message: XW.w(nr)

For example:
'另' => '另' # With method
'另' => ??? # Without method.
