QT for some reason messes with XCompose causing broken input (Qt 5 only - Qt 4 did not break anything). In Qt 5.2 and 5.3 this was causing an invalid conversion in chat messages containing these resulting in the bad bytes being stripped. In Qt 5.9 it is still broken, but you at least get a string with something in it. This checks for non-zero converted strings for room creation and chat lines.

# === HWMAP-to-Lua converter ===
# This script allows you to put arbitrary HWMAPs into your missions!
#
# Usage:
# It expects a .hwmap file of name "map.hwmap" to be in
# its directory and creates a Lua file (map.lua) containing code to
# draw the map.
# In Lua, call drawMap() in onGameInit. And don't forget
# to set MapGen to mgDrawn. Then your map should be ready to go! :-)
