Because may of those characters has been used in exploits on the server to crash it.

Why would you need such characters? The ones provided are the most used ones.

You don't need other characters to speak English :D

You can't make €, £ and %, which IMO could still be used a lot.
Granted, you can use '/. to make %, but £ and € would still be good.

Those characters were blocked by SA:MP itself, not the server.

You can use £ - no idea why you can't use € or % - but these restrictions are SA:MP based, not server.

In russian servers all characters are allowed like αβγδεζηθ etc. and in greek servers (my country) i have tried once greek characters are allowed. I'm not fully sure about that you say.

If the bugs are fixed, I don't see why some characters should be prohibited.

I don't see why you would need non English characters in English server :D

It's probibly client related and not Argo related, in other words the only way to prevent people crashing the server is by blocking those characters. :roll:

Helps more being allowed than being 'illegal'.

Cena44 pretty much answered this entire topic:
Those characters were blocked by SA:MP itself, not the server.

If you want the bugs fixed so the characters can be allowed, you should be making a topic on the SA:MP Forums, not here.

Wrong.

Wrong again.


If you have no knowledge of the scripts or how SA:MP works, refrain again from posting such nonsense. The limitations are script-wise, not SA:MP wise.

CBFasi killed the use of those shits because they crash scripts. It's easier to just restrict which characters you cannot use than write around for every single one.

/use weeÄd = rip server (before block)

The characters shown were restricted by SA:MP itself. Yes, there are others restricted by the scripts, but those aren't the ones listed. Don't make attacking comments next time.

Yeah, but maybe them was already fixed, no one answered me yet.

First, I didn't know the characters blocked was used for take down the server.
Second, no one answered me yet if the bugs was fixed or not.

The bugs are not fixed. The characters are blocked. The characters cause issues in either the server itself, or the scripts and add-ons running in them. Even if the server were somehow fixed, and the scripts could be prevented from crashing, it's still up to third-party add-ons to update themselves on their own to prevent further crashing.

Then, it seems like isn't a simple work un-block the characters blocked. Maybe will not cause problems in RS5.

SA:MP RS5 will still be affected by characters that affect SA:MP itself, and any add-ons the scripts use. Unfortunately, Argo's Developers have no control over those.

No they weren't. I can freely use any other character on other servers, and there weren't any changelogs on this either. If you can't accept you are in the wrong here, refrain from posting or provoking off-topic again.

SA:MP maybe blocks SOME of the blocked charecters in Argo, but not all of them.

Sorry, didn't read "...restricted by SA:MP itself. Yes, there are others restricted by the scripts..." my fail. Then I would like characters locked by scripts (that doesn't makes crashs) to be un-locked.

Argonath's Script:
  • Swedish Letters are allowed - Will appear.

Not just Swedish, but few other languages aswell, for example Estonian letters do not seem blocked either.
