How to do special Characters in JA

Hmm the title says it all really. I know windows users use Alt and different keypad numbers how can a mac user do it? I'm talking about things like this ?§åø©®Á  that sort of thing.

Re: How to do special Characters in JA

Dunno if this works inside JA. . . but on almost everything else Mac, you can just press Option + [a key] e.g.,

Option + g = ©
Option + e, then e = é
Option + Shift + ? = ¿

Enjoy,

Re: How to do special Characters in JA

there is no way to do special characters from in the game. however, there is a more complicated method that does let yuou use special characters:

1) open textedit
2) type some command (dont include a slash. ex: say ?§åø©®Á)
3) select the text
4) go to the textedit menu, choose services>jedi academy MP>Perform Command
5) it will display the special characters

note #1: this requires that you are running JA in a window, so you can command tab to textedit

note #2: for some reason, the special characters on a mac dont coincide with the ones on a PC, so it will take some experimentation (in other words, random guessing) to figure out what characters to use to make it show what you want in JA.


let me know if i just confused you smile
