Hi!
You mean for the screen messages, to the players? Like wm_announce “The Old City Wall has been destroyed!” and such messages?
Im not sure. Dont think so, but I have no idea. Try and see.
Skal!

If you look at the TGAs in the fonts folder of pak0.pk3 you will see that there seems to be a full complement of accented characters. I’d imagine that special characters ought to be OK in strings and such.

well, when chatting in ET the characters will be bad…they will all turn in to periods “.”
but i was thinking of a script file for a map…or in the map file…can something have the targetname “døll” for example?
