Unicode Parser
What is Unicode Parser
Unicode Parser unicodeparser is a client-side mod (CSM) for Minetest.
It displays a window for you to write unicode codepoint then it will convert to
real text string of that codepoint and send it out on public chat.
Intended use
This CSM is used as a workaround of the inability to use Input Method Editors (IME) on Minetest, especially for Windows users as I could use IME on Android version of Minetest but not on Windows version.
This CSM could also be used by certain Ubuntu version users who couldn't paste text in Minetest (where the paste text appears as codepoints and not real text).
How to use
As workaround of IME
Run the included Python2 script under tools folder to write the usual text
using your IME, click on "Convert" button, then copy (Ctrl-C) the output
codepoint. In game, send .ug and a formspec will appear asking for input,
paste (Ctrl-V) the codepoint and click on "Say".
As workaround of paste problem
The codepoint appeared when you paste into Minetest itself is supposedly already
in the same format needed by the CSM, so you don't need to run the Python2 script.
Straight away send .ug in game and directly paste in the input, then click "Say".
CSM in action
To do
- Release C++ and Java version of the tool
- Include translation support (which seems to be impossible right now because CSM can't access other files)
