chrord (to be confused with chord) is just that, the two functions chr and ord.
If you're not familiar then:
chr(<character-ordinal>) returns the character with that ordinal (we are talking ASCII here folks, forget about unicode)
and ord is the opposite (and kind of hard to implement in jass because nothing seems to be case sensitive, except 'Hpal', which doesn't help)
and of course there's no such native (or is it?)
So the most intresting thing about chrord is the way the ord function is implemented:
Wtf is GetLocalizedHotkey you might ask? Good question:
Normaliy it only works for strings like:
so how did we "teach" it about "A" .. "Z", "a" .. "z", "0" .. "9", "!@#$%^&*()", etc?
We imported a file of course!
It's called war3mapMisc.txt and it's full path MUST be "war3mapMisc.txt" (without the quotes of course).
Normally when you import a file from the Import Manager it's full path will be set to "war3mapImported\<name-of-file>".
So in order to correctly import the "special" war3mapMisc.txt (see attachments) you have to delete the "war3mapImported\"
part from the full path, otherwise it won't be picked up by war3 and will be ignored.
If your map happens to have a custom war3mapMisc.txt already then simply copy the content from this war3mapMisc.txt to yours.
That's it! Well... almost
Because war3mapMisc.txt is parsed by some parser Blizzard wrote (some kind of an ini file parser)
there are some characters ord fails with, and they are:
If you can't do without those then there's another module called Ascii that uses a different approach for ord
and of course you can do a linear search with this string (but DON'T!, it's going to be pretty slow):
So what good is ord anyway?
Well it's needed for base conversions think "hex2int", "Rawcode2Integer", base64 encoding/decoding, etc.
example:
So you might be thinking is chrord.ord faster than Ascii.Char2Ascii (what a silly name btw...)
and the answer is: they are "pretty much" the same speed =)
chrord
Edit: added chrord2 library
chrord2 uses a different method for implementing the
chrord2 requires the StringTable library
If you're not familiar then:
chr(<character-ordinal>) returns the character with that ordinal (we are talking ASCII here folks, forget about unicode)
JASS:
chr(65) => "A"
chr(97) => "a"
and ord is the opposite (and kind of hard to implement in jass because nothing seems to be case sensitive, except 'Hpal', which doesn't help)
and of course there's no such native (or is it?)
JASS:
ord("A") => 65
ord("a") => 97
So the most intresting thing about chrord is the way the ord function is implemented:
JASS:
function ord takes string s returns integer
local integer o = GetLocalizedHotkey(s)
// We care about lowercase letters
if c[o] != s then
return o + 32
endif
return o
endfunction
Wtf is GetLocalizedHotkey you might ask? Good question:
native GetLocalizedHotkey takes string source returns integer
Normaliy it only works for strings like:
JASS:
"GAMEOVER_QUIT_GAME"
"GAMEOVER_OK"
"GAMEOVER_CONTINUE_OBSERVING"
etc.
so how did we "teach" it about "A" .. "Z", "a" .. "z", "0" .. "9", "!@#$%^&*()", etc?
We imported a file of course!
It's called war3mapMisc.txt and it's full path MUST be "war3mapMisc.txt" (without the quotes of course).
Normally when you import a file from the Import Manager it's full path will be set to "war3mapImported\<name-of-file>".

That's it! Well... almost
Because war3mapMisc.txt is parsed by some parser Blizzard wrote (some kind of an ini file parser)
there are some characters ord fails with, and they are:
JASS:
ord("\r") => returns 32 instead of 13
ord("\n") => returns 32 instead of 10
ord("[") => returns 32 instead of 91
ord(" ") =>returns 32 (which is correct) but by "mistake"
If you can't do without those then there's another module called Ascii that uses a different approach for ord
and of course you can do a linear search with this string (but DON'T!, it's going to be pretty slow):
" !\"#$%&'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\\]^_`abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz{|}~"
So what good is ord anyway?
Well it's needed for base conversions think "hex2int", "Rawcode2Integer", base64 encoding/decoding, etc.
example:
JASS:
library Rawcode uses chrord
function Rawcode2Integer takes string rawcode returns integer
local integer result = 0
set result = result + ord(SubString(rawcode, 0, 1)) * 0x01000000
set result = result + ord(SubString(rawcode, 1, 2)) * 0x010000
set result = result + ord(SubString(rawcode, 2, 3)) * 0x0100
set result = result + ord(SubString(rawcode, 3, 4)) * 0x01
return result
endfunction
function Integer2Rawcode takes integer rawcode returns string
local string result = ""
set result = chr(rawcode - rawcode / 0x100 * 0x100) + result
set rawcode = rawcode / 0x100
set result = chr(rawcode - rawcode / 0x100 * 0x100) + result
set rawcode = rawcode / 0x100
set result = chr(rawcode - rawcode / 0x100 * 0x100) + result
set rawcode = rawcode / 0x100
set result = chr(rawcode - rawcode / 0x100 * 0x100) + result
set rawcode = rawcode / 0x100
return result
endfunction
endlibrary
