Header allowed characters
As talked about in this conversation: !48 (comment 1036323131) We don't currently know what characters DF accepts in the header files. Does it accepts all Unicode characters, Or just a few (maybe just CP437 characters).
Are headers like accepted?:
-
valid_header_𒀧ꨣ⠹𖠄⻚ق_Still_valid(lot of other Unicode characters) -
valid part of the header(spaces are allowed too, even tabs)
This might require some testing in game.
Get started:
- Create a simple mod, you can use existing mod files (for example), or use an example file.
- Make sure the mode works first. (check the object is loaded correctly) https://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2014:Modding#Basics_of_DF_modding
- Apply some changes to the file, save it and reload the game and see if it still works.
- Report the findings below. (incomplete tests are still welcome)
