Client reads item resource file in a different encoding?

[Gouki]

Hi All,

Just wondering if this is a client issue wherein the client is reading the resource files not in ANSI (i presume)?
As you can see below, all file name are in ANSI and identical. However, on the last image, you'll see that the Resource File Loading Fail seems to be reading the item name on a different encoding.

Does this have to do with client diffing, servicetype, langtype? kindly enlighten please! thank you!

Note* my sprite accessory files are separated on a different GRF on purpose due to HD.  I have also ran ai4rei's GRF Diet Plan on these GRFs, not sure if that would cause the issue.

Olá a todos,

Só queria saber se isso é um problema do cliente em que o cliente está lendo os arquivos de recursos não em ANSI (eu presumo)?
Como você pode ver abaixo, todos os nomes de arquivo estão em ANSI e são idênticos. No entanto, na última imagem, você verá que o Resource File Loading Fail parece estar lendo o nome do item em uma codificação diferente.

Isso tem a ver com a diferença do cliente, servicetype, langtype? Por favor, esclareça, por favor! Obrigado!

Nota* meus arquivos de acessórios de sprite são separados em um GRF diferente de propósito devido ao HD. Eu também executei o GRF Diet Plan do ai4rei nesses GRFs, não tenho certeza se isso causaria o problema.

Have you checked these two files friend?

I initially checked this also, and yes it is a match...

maybe more details ? what clientdate, what translation, and some more.

and why not use default one first without HD to make sure all are correct.

Client date is 20240902
I'm using the most recent ROenglishTranslation by Chris

I did try to use the original kRO now and apparently, issue seems the same.



UPDATE: seems to be working now, just reverted back everything, GRF seems to be the issue.

yes because GRF Editor can change the encoding automatically but I dont know how did u change the files inside GRF. Some software cant detect and automatically changed to correct encoding.

I think thats what happened, language of GRF editor broke the ANSI encoding.

The items were fixed already, what I did was I created a new blank GRF and set it initially to ANSI before adding my files. then just saved it as GRF.  I did a GRF diet on my files, not sure if that caused the issue.  

Nonetheless fixed now. Topic may be closed.
