Useful info for EB in relation to 1.5 conversion

[Lusted]

Just though i'd share some tips i found in relation to 1.5 modding. I have on several occasions now had files that look perfect, and should work, but have not or have caused CTD. The solution to this is remarkable simple. Whilst it may not look like much has change in the layout of the text file, so you think you can use the old one in 1.5, this can often result in problems. The solution is simple, simply copy the contents of the text file into a clean 1.5 version of the file and save it. Its that simple, this has solved many problems for me, as it looks like the text files in 1.5 hld more infomration or something. Hope this helps you guys.

Appreciate the tip - that was the process I was following anyway, but it was more by accident than anything else! Now we know what not to do with any as-yet-unconverted text files. Thanks!

I would imagine this has to do with the encoding. They may have adjusted it. In previous versions if you chose the wrong encoding it wouldn't work either.

I know, it is just strange as the files are identical in the layout text wise, it just must be the encoding.

Some of them were unicode or something.
