If there isn't a way, to use german Umlauts (Ää, Öö, Üü) in strings, that I just didn't find out, yet...
(maybe characters,created by backslash commands)
...please impliment 'em in the zquest editor, if this is possible.

That would be so great.

Thank you :)
 

EDIT:
...oh, one second... I forgot the "ß".

Was gonna call you out on that! :P

 

I imagine if those would be added, some other common letters with diacritics should be added too. Áá, Éé, Óó, Úú, Êê, Èè (which covers Spanish and French?) plus maybe another few for Portugese, at least if we want to cover southern/western Europe. Probably some more if you want Czech.

This is not possible without a radical change: ZC uses ANSI, not Unicode.

If you know some ZScript, Tango tile based fonts can have extended characters. See the following example by Saffith:

https://www.purezc.n...e=tiles&id=1407

 

Of course the downsides of Tango are many. Extended characters can't actually be typed out in unicode as you'd expect so your strings would look like a nonsense assortment of control codes in the script file. And ZScript strings are no substitute for having an actual string table when it comes to organization.

Gonna try it, but perhaps I will need some additional advice, how to use it correctly.

Tango is a hell of a thing to get used to, but it is powerful. We still need to rewrite it to make use of everything in 2.55 at some point.

I am unsure if ZScript could handle characters like that being directly typed. I don't see anything in the lexer that would prevent it, but it might just give a bad character error anyway. But, you can use escape codes for it, with tango.
