Encoding Actions Plugin

Benefits

With this plugin, users of AutoPlay Media Studio, Setup Factory, TrueUpdate and Visual Patch can perform character transformations between diffent types of encodings. This plugin offers 76 different kinds of encodings that can be used in transformations between strings and files.

This plugin is an expanded version of the free Unicode plugin, which you also can find on this web site.

Besides the functions available in the Unicode plugin, this version also features functions to convert strings directly from one encoding to another, as well as text file conversions without the need to import them into strings or tables and then write them back to disk.

After the installation, you will see a dialog with two codes, like the image below. I need both codes before I can send you the unlock code for the plugin.

Example: Greek

Here you can see how to display Greek in AutoPlay Media Studio. I took a filler text (Lorem Ipsum) using Greek characters, and displayed them in a Paragraph object:

You need to configure the Paragraph object to the correct charset, as shown in this image:

Then, just load the text in the original encoding and convert it using this plugin into a format that AutoPlay Media Studio can handle and display correctly:

txt = Encoding.ReadToString("AutoPlay\\Docs\\Greek-Lipsum.txt", "utf-8", "windows-1253");
Paragraph.SetText("ConvertedText", txt);

Example: Russian
