It looks awesome. Can wooden PCs show the character fluently? I think it's vital as Yyg have done one custom chatbox to show Chinese, however not of so much quality and lags the DM gameplay for wooden pc users.

Hi ℛḝξ☂ and other friends,
Here is a demo 32 bit windows server of the chatbox.
demo-unicode.7z (9.61 MB)

You can test it on your wooden pc. However i am afraid the game will lag. I have added 5 unicode-messages which is shown to a player when he joins. The messages are contained in messages-cn.txt. We fetch it by line no. Two fonts - arial-unicode-ms-bold.ttf and segoe-ui-emoji.ttf are also included. Necessary plugins remexec04rel32 is included.
virus-total-scan (2/63 )

@umar,
yeah, i remember about it - making a websocket client-plugin.

@MEGAMIND,
thanks for having faith in me. The emoji can be coloured, it needs some bitmap representation which i will look into.

I have tested it with multiple players, it works well for me, however some said the game lags even when they are not wooden pcs.

Whatever the custom chatbox you create, it causes lag more or less, still looking forward to the chatbox and I'd like to help if you need test on wooden pcs.
