Duplicating Item

[NANORAY]

having a problem adding custom item/duplicate in iteminfo.lua (zackdreaver folder). when adding/duplicating item it cause this error:

 

i guess there is other lua file that all custom items/duplicate items must be put there? @zackdreaver

For goodness sake you guys, it's an encoding issue. Set your editor's encoding correctly and it'll resolve your issue. You don't need VS2017 to open a .lub and if it's jargen then it's still compiled. The item shows it's not a compiled lub, thus, encoding issue.

I stopped using Notepad++ when VS Code was released. It has this handy "encoding switch" feature that actually tells you that you need to change your encoding for the file to be read and saved correctly.

Stop giving rubbish advice after i've already said what's wrong.

i think there is an error format in the item costume on iteminfo.lua 

show us your item duplicate in here

I first encountered that problem too, when i was trying to add an custom item myself.

Weird problem tho:
Without any changes to the original itemInfo.lua file it works fine, but after adding an item it shows many lines where strings are not closed correctly.
What I mean are the " at the end of a line.

I manually corrected it and it worked fine afterwards.
I don't know the exact number of lines anymore, but it should be around 100-200 lines or like that.
Most lines were an ?, instead of ?", like these:

Before the changes, theis weird boxes were black, now they are grey.

I hope my information helps.

Regards,
Chris

Its simple miss coded on luafiles in system info or There is 2 kind of error when it comes to lua files in system folder 

1.if you are using the iteminfo.lua you can change the data inside using notepad without any error

2. if you are using iteminfo.lub files this is kinda a bit different from iteminfo.lua. here you cant edit the data inside using just a notepad or notepad ++ . you will encounter error like that if you are using notepad ++ . kindly use VS2017 for editing lub files to avoid error .

There is a threand in our forums i think the author is @Anacondaqq its a guide of what component you should install in your VS to avoid the whole program witch is high amount of GB.
