If you can code a bit in py, you can take as example the belt inventory to try this.

Your problem is related to the notepad++ encoding.

To fix it with notepad++ you may need to delete what you added and add them again but before adding/changing anything you need to change the encoding to windows 1250 if I remember correctly. 

Try use the default text editor for locale_string or use another text editor. I'm using visual code and sublime text and I don't need to worry about this anymore.

Here is how I made the whisper button using the block by name function, exactly how it works from the messenger window when you type the name yourself.

uiwhisper.py

Search:

			self.minimizeButton = GetObject("minimizebutton")

Add below:

			self.blockPlayer = GetObject("blockplayer")

Search: 

		self.chatLine.SetEscapeEvent(ui.__mem_func__(self.Minimize))

Add below: 

		self.blockPlayer.SetEvent(ui.__mem_func__(self.BlockPlayer))

Search:

		self.minimizeButton = None

Add below:

		self.blockPlayer = None

Search:
Under def OpenWithTarget(self, targetName): function

			self.minimizeButton.Show()

Add below:

		if app.ENABLE_MESSENGER_BLOCK:
			if not messenger.IsBlockByName(self.targetName):
				self.blockPlayer.Show()
		else:
			self.blockPlayer.Hide()

Search:
Under 	def OpenWithoutTarget(self, event): function

		self.minimizeButton.Hide()

Add below:

		if app.ENABLE_MESSENGER_BLOCK:
			if not messenger.IsBlockByName(self.targetName):
				self.blockPlayer.Show()
		else:
			self.blockPlayer.Hide()

You may need to play with the button in the whisper window because I got more buttons and It might be arranged differently.

Edit: Also this version of the system is not full, you might wanna try and take it from some serverfiles which fixed most things for it. The only problem I am having now is cross core, it does not block the players if they are on different cores.

Edit 2: Cross core fix
After I made this "fix", I totally removed the system from my sources. Fixing one problem gets you to 100 more.
You might need to change MESSENGER_BLOCK with yours as I changed the functions and made more checks.
Fixing this problem will get you to another core problem, when on different cores if the blocker removes the blocked, the blocked one is being disconnected and the blocker gets some errors and needs to relog in order to do anything.

I know some servers that were using this system and removed it later on, but if properly fixed it might get your job done.

You have any errors in ch2/db/99 syserr?

Post serverinfo here,  config from ch2 .

Also are you using any db protection? Cause if i remember right I had the problem because some ports weren't getting through the protection.
