Special characters - Delusion - 04-17-2012
How to type in chat special characters? ( I mean that characters which are available in player setup-> nickname).

ctrl+character
for example, ctrl+w would create

in the game.

It's simple, great. Thank you

Some of the special characters aren't on the keyboard. For instance, my name has an alien head in front of it, but there are 2 alien heads, and the ctrl+r alien head isn't it. I can't find the other alien head. And I played with a guy that uses the digital "B"(the one that looks like an 8") at the beginning of his name, but I can't figure out how to type that character either.

There is an undocumented feature but it's unfortunately broken in terms of utf8 support at the moment. Here's a bug I filed about it: http://dev.xonotic.org/issues/1175
The feature works like this:
Code:
menu_cmd red <command> <markup text>The <command> is any command, and the <markup text> is regular text that can be spiced up with these markup codes:
Code:
&alien &:-) &:-( &x-P &:-/ &:-D &<< &>>
&dot &^_ &ysplat &-] &-- &[- &s< &s>
&<- &[= &== &=] &r! &|o| &|u| &|i|
&|c| &[c] &[n] &[] &r? &|> &splat0 &splat1
&[[ &]] &splat2 &)( &splat3 &(. &.. &.)
&<|Code:
&n &a &dSo one could for example say something in digital by using this command
Code:
menu_cmd red say &dhello, what's up &:-)But that feature is currently broken with utf enabled.
I am not aware of a second alien head in the original character set, you probably saw a unicode character. Was this it? http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/1f47d/index.htm
