mcrcon encoding issue?

[r0bis]

Hi, I installed mcrcon and it connects just fine, but in the terminal I have some sort of encoding problem. My terminal is set to use UTF-8 (gnome 3/arch linux), but up-arrow gives instead of command history output you can see on the bottom line and ? gives this output with strange characters. Could you help with this please?

Commands seem to work ok, it is just strange characters that get appended

That is when I set encoding to Western ISO-8895-1

Hello, You can make you terminal in UTF-8 and try this #20 .

Confirmed #20 fixes this issue

Great, thanks so much - it works well now @carlbennett with your fork. All one could wish for is autocompletion with tab and ability to go through previous commands with Up-arrow, but it is awesome as it is. I wish I had seen your fork earlier.

This "strange characters" problem (related to color handling) is fixed in latest develop branch (waiting to be pushed).

I have been thinking about this. At first glance it sounds trivial but in reality in might be hard to implement in a portable way without using extra libraries such as curses.

For now I am trying to keep the source as concise and dependency free as possible.
