It refers to what encoding would thor patcher use. If the directories and files of your patch contains rubbish characters, then choose ascii.. If it contains korean characters, choose unicode. You cannot have both. If you are not patching any folder or file with special characters, then you can use either.

BTW , when i chose Ascii , the result is in BOX form and its not in Rabbish. When i chose Unicode , then its in Box Form. Whats the problem in this? , when i chose Ascii , its in Box form.?? HELP... And how can i delete file because its only supported in Ascii Format.

I have a problem in Thor patcher when i chose Ascii in RO-GRF Option.

Then , after the thor patcher patch my GRF , and i open it with GRF Tool , the files i patched is in Unicode style not in Ascii.

Is there a problem in here?

The files in grf should be in Unicode I.e euc_kr coarser. So yah it's normal, the Thor patcher. Asks whether the data u are packing is ASCII or Unicode.

Ahhh ,whenever i choose on that two (Ascii or Unicode) to patch it on my GRF , then always its in unicode form?.

Once you extract the grf files it will become unicodes its not longer acsii

Use GrfBuilder to create your grf. Make sure your files in data folder is in ASCII. GrfBuilder will convert it in Unicode then you can now create a patch files.
