A rather obscure question here.
Background: I'm partway through translating a map by directly editing the files from the MPQ. It appears that this map has been widgetized, and the usual method to undo that doesn't work for various reasons. So, I'm stuck doing find-replaces on HumanAbilityFunc.txt, ItemFunc.txt, HumanUnitFunc.txt, etc. I have little experience otherwise with map editing.
I'm editing tooltips in HumanAbilityFunc.txt. The original language is in Chinese, which uses a full-width comma (,) rather than the ASCII comma (,). However, it appears that the ASCII comma is also a special character which separates tooltips for different levels in ability tooltips. This means that any tooltip in English with an ASCII comma in it gets cut off at that point ingame.
I'm wondering if there is some way to escape the commas in tooltips and descriptions to keep them from being treated as control characters. Neither quotes about the tooltip nor a backslash preceding the comma work.
Much thanks in advance.
(Regarding rule #9 in the forum FAQ: I have no intent to deprotect any map nor give information on any processes involved. The script is fully obfuscated, and I have no intent to become a mapper. Permission was loosely granted for a previous attempt which was never completed due to the time investment that would be required of the authoring team; this is an effort that does not depend on such. If this topic is still in violation, apologies, plz ban.)
