sebihepp Posted May 13, 2009 Posted May 13, 2009 Hi, everytime I load a mission/campaign/track... the game crashes with an APPCRASH at "initializing effects", right after I edited scripts/world/airdromes.lua. I just wanted to change some frequencies of the airports and therefore I edited the file. After restarting the game, it crashes. Then I undo my changes and save again (sorry, I hadn't made a copy), but it crashes always on initializing the effects. I think, I saved the File with wrong encoding. (UTF-8) My PC: Core 2 Quad Q6600 4 GByte DDR2-800 RAM ATI Radeon HD4870 512MByte VRAM Windows Vista Home Premium 64Bit SP1 (and all other updates) German Version of Black Shark (DVD) Thanks in Advance Sebihepp Ryzen 2700X, 32GByte RAM, GeForce 1080Ti, TrackIR
EtherealN Posted May 13, 2009 Posted May 13, 2009 Which text editor did you use? Notepad is discouraged, since it can cause syntax corruption and such. Notepad++ is preferred, since it is designed specifically with coding in mind.

sebihepp Posted May 13, 2009 Author Posted May 13, 2009 Yes, I used Notepad. I didn't know that Notepad can cause Problems. I will try to download Notepad++, use it to save the file again and then I reply again. Thanks Sebihepp Ryzen 2700X, 32GByte RAM, GeForce 1080Ti, TrackIR
sebihepp Posted May 13, 2009 Author Posted May 13, 2009 Nope, it doesn't help. Can someone upload the original file? I don't find it on DVD. And how it is encoded? Ryzen 2700X, 32GByte RAM, GeForce 1080Ti, TrackIR
EtherealN Posted May 13, 2009 Posted May 13, 2009 Check PM. Not sure on the encoding.

sebihepp Posted May 13, 2009 Author Posted May 13, 2009 I did it! :thumbup: The Encoding is "UTF-8 without BOM". Thanks Sebihepp Ryzen 2700X, 32GByte RAM, GeForce 1080Ti, TrackIR
