Color embedding bug? - SA-MP Forums

DTV · 12/07/2015, 07:57 AM

I'm not sure if this was around before 0.3.7 became official, but I noticed that color embedding doesn't work properly 100% of the time. An example of what I'm talking about is:

This should be green and this should be red.

However, this is green and this is red.

I'm positive that I'm putting the embedding in the right place and it still offsets by a character or two and it's annoying the hell out of me. Anyone else experience this or am I just insane?

We need to see your code example to help you.

Are you use any other characters than the standard Latin characters? Color embedding does not work well with "exotic" character sets, e.g. Thai, because these characters take up two bytes whereas standard Latin alphabet characters only take up one byte.

It's your font problem. Just change font to another one and check again. Some fonts are "broken" in SA-MP.
