As I said early, freeciv is still NOT utf-8 application, so breaking lines in f.e. server console is more worse than it looks in the code. (For ru_RU.UTF-8 part of lines cover only half of screen width - 2 bytes/character. Easiest example - '/help' [show_help_intro]. wordwrap_string() looks to me like the root of problem in this case.) All the data stored in UTF-8 inside, right? But we still use char, strlen() etc. > Aren't we supposed to use the leader name together with the nation name? It should be done. Also, I think we want to use nation name as a basis for all diplomatic things, aren't we? > We tell everybody else how many cities, but not the player losing them? Oops. Sure, there is only logging, not notify... Wrong thing, to my mind. > I'd like to split this into at least two messages. Sure. PS. I'm also for splitting into several messages a keyboard/mouse orders helptext from data/helptext.txt. It will a) make it much easier for translator to see changes; b) be a step towards user-defined control. But this is another story. -- Thanks, evyscr _______________________________________________ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev
