im no expert on other languages but my goal is to keep only alphanumeric and spaces from left to right which will filter out the ^Mx etc. Giving this a whorl a bit here to see if I get the rare error.
EDIT: Still gettin the random error.. ill have to revert back to stock CHARACTER NAME^Mx chat output for now until I get get it sorted. I thought I was gonna be a simple fix. |
Have you tried
Code:
victomCharacterName = zo_strformat("<<1>>", victomCharacterName)
as sirinsidiator suggested? That should do the trick for you. I use
to retain initial capitalisation. There's a nice reference here for all your options:
