[Solved] Is there a way to know the game encoding from plugin API?

[eri0o]

OK, I am almost adding this as a feature in the plugin API, but before doing so I am curious if perhaps there is already a way to read it somehow.

I need to figure the encoding of a string I am receiving from the engine in a plugin.

Is there some way to do it in the 3.6.1 version of the engine? Thanks!

If by "game encoding" you mean the current text encoding mode, that may be received by

Code: ags

GetGameOption(OPT_GAMETEXTENCODING)

https://adventuregamestudio.github.io/ags-manual/Globalfunctions_General.html#getgameoption

Note that this value will change whenever a translation loads, if translation has a different encoding.

EDIT:

there's also IAGSEngine.GetGameOptions, but it returns a raw pointer to engine memory, and thus this function is deprecated in AGS 4.

Thank you! I will use that!
