Essence_of_Light Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Could someone explain how to get non-standard text names? The easiest way is to look up the "non-standard" text name/letter(s) you want on the internet or Microsoft Word, and then copy+paste them into the character creation naming box.

starwnd Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 if you mean like ‡ or ｯ those are alt codes where you hold alt and hit 3 or 4 numbers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Essence_of_Light Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 (edited) No help whatsoever. How is it no help? Just look up the alt coded letter(s) you want (looking them up is a lot easier than trying to remember all the codes), and paste it in the naming box. There. I told you how to get it, and insert it into the game. Wasn't that your question? Edited August 4, 2014 by Essence_of_Light Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merouk Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 (edited) Characters such as ć ÿ etc, can be typed into anything by their alt-code, for example alt 0243, alt 0255 (you hold down alt and you type 0243 and when you release alt the character shows). If you run a windows program called "charmap" it will show you the alt codes for everything, in the lower right corner. So for example JacksónMó you type Jacks(alt)0243nM(alt)0243.

I told you how to get it, and insert it into the game. Wasn't that your question? You didn't give me any information I could use to actually get there. Basically you told me to Google it.

Not knowing what I'm looking for makes Google useless. This is the info I needed to point me in the right direction. Thank you.

Adric_the_Red Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 (edited) Also, when you are entering the alt codes, you need to type the numbers using the numpad, not the number keys on the main keyboard.

Cuiwe Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 And you can use these freely? Is allowed by CharGen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fidelicatessen Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 And you can use these freely? Is allowed by CharGen? Correct. Although I haven't tried ALL of them, the standard accented characters such as ö, à, etc. work fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacksonMo Posted August 7, 2014 Author Share Posted August 7, 2014 Correct. Although I haven't tried ALL of them, the standard accented characters such as ö, à, etc. work fine. Some don't work in the character creation screen. It'll give you an error message saying it contains invalid characters. Trial and error. I'll be adding their names to my friend lists (same faction) to make it easier to pass legacy gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuiwe Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Correct. Although I haven't tried ALL of them, the standard accented characters such as ö, à, etc. work fine. Circumflexed letters work fine? I like their long sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fidelicatessen Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Circumflexed letters work fine? I like their long sound. From personal experience, I can't answer that. However, just try using the letter in question, and the client will tell you if it's not allowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
