Title: scripts showing corrupted writing
Post by: jimbooby on 13 Jun 2006, 13:38:35
I dont know why and how this is happening when i open .sqs, .sqm or .sqf files, but it comes up with really bad writing that looks like made by aliens or something :P

Heres an example:
wfirø invr igsˆÿä#Ã…"1Æ'heû^¨!É"!wüï0èOpatov×, P1 kÂ'SkÃal²Æ'2ŽÃ"Daûvla1
I k¹nÉÃ-!e's®0tâ€Âºtl§0ha 9!sÿurvi

yeah...wow,

ANYWAYS ive extracted it from a mission i got online, Thinking it was the missions SQS being translated in a different language, it wasnt, becuase i even extracted normal BIS missions and their .sqs files have that, so i decided to change my Depbo program, but again same problems, i hope someone had this same problem and can help me with it.

p.s. THANK GOD YOU CHAMPS @ OFPEC ARE BACK UP!

Seems to me that's an error dePBOing it.
maybe again change ur proggy?

Don't want to make publicity here, but as I use Total Commander (B4 Windows commander) for years now, I was very happy with the PBO plugin

Indeed seven is right ive had that problem with missions when i unpbo them using a wrong tool, i normally use WinPbo but that appears not very good with unpboing missions but best at everything else.

!!!   Beware using this toll when compiling an addon .pbo, i found  often creates an error in the configs   !!!

for normal mission .pbo its fine
