Rom bot doesn't recognize alt code names

As title says. I used my other character with normal lettering rombot runs fine,
But when I used my other character with the "â" in Wendymarvell rombot won't recognize it.
I've tried changing the profile names from a normal "a" to "â". and vise versa. No luck >:
So how would I go around with this? >:

name the profile.xml with normal letters and when you start the bot tell it to use that profile specifically.

Code: Select all

rom/bot path:somepath profile:wendymarvel
When doing it this way you don't even need it to be named anything like your characters name.

Code: Select all

rom/bot path:somepath profile:lalaloopsie
Aslong as the name matches the profile file name.

If you do want the profile name to match so you don't have to specify it each time, you need to know how the bot converts the character names for profiles. It does this because of incompatibilities between Windows key map and console key maps. The easiest way to know what the bot expects is to pass the name through the same function that the bot does. Just follow these steps.
  • 1. Start the client with the special character first.
    2. Start Micromacro.
    3.Type

    Code: Select all

    rom/bot path:commandline path:default
    • This will start the commandline prompt.
    4.Type

    Code: Select all

    print(convertProfileName(player.Name))
    • This should display the name it expects. Use this to name your profile.

Alright thanks Lisa/Rock5. I'll give those a try!

I actually tried doing rom/bot profile:profile and it worked fine as well. What a chance!

Problem solved :D
