replace more %xy in mission names

[commy2]

When merged this pull request will:

• adds CBA_fnc_decodeHTML

• function replaces more %xy than %20 / space

• Is there a difference between HTML and HTML URL? I am not sure about the function name.

• Function doesn't work as is, because some functions are not defined in mission namespace in the briefing. Needs some fixing.

• Will we do the complete HTML character list?

An extension would be easier.

Is there a difference between HTML and HTML URL? I am not sure about the function name.

IMO it would fit more to name this fnc_urlDecode / fnc_decodeURL you don't use percent encoding in HTML, you use this in URLs.

Edit: It's also known as percent encoding... but fnc_decodePercent doesn't sound good at all ^^

No DLL's in CBA, bux.

These are just ascii keycodes

You have any good way to translate i.e. %e2%80%98" using toString?

[commy2]

Tested this:

missionName
// "%c2%ac%c2%ae%c2%af%c2%b0%c2%b1%c2%b2%c2%b3%c2%b4%c2%b5%c2%b6%c2%b7%c2%b8%c2%b9%c2%ba%c2%bb%c2%bc%c2%bd%c2%be%c2%bf"

missionName call CBA_fnc_decodeURL
// "¬®¯°±²³´µ¶·¸¹º»¼½¾¿"

toString (missionName splitString "%" apply {call compile format ["0x%1", _x]} apply { _x})
// "¬®¯°±²³´µ¶·¸¹º»¼½¾¿"

So it is not exactly the same as ASCII codes. It seems to follow the UTF-8 conversion table instead:

Except that % is encoded as %% and not %25.

Just noticed switching around terrains in the mission list visibly freezes my game.
Booted up the profiler and checked, its cuz fnc_decodeURL is being called 34 times with 20ms runtime each 🤔
each of them calling fnc_replace 217 times.
Even though a total of 0 missions on that terrain contain a % character in the name.. we just use underscores.
