Problems with Traits in EB 1.1

[Tellos Athenaios]

I'll check; in the meantime you can fix it manually by opening the files (just open all of the files in the EB\data\text folder as those are all description files) and save them one by one in UTF-8 encoding over their previous non-Unicode versions. In the exact same location mind you; essentially you have to replace the non-Unicode ones with Unicode ones. (And only use UTF-8 at that as characters in UTF-7 depend on your O.S. etc.)

Just fired up a brand spiking new Sweboz campaign; and have not yet seen any weirdness in the traits of my generals. Any trait you remember (in particular) might help me find/verify this 'bug' more quickly?

Checked the Pahlava by using the generic script from within my Sweboz campaign; and though those nomads in pink have got a lot of fancy ditractrics going on in their names (and units) -- no anomalies found. Would've to check my development build to see if such anomalies arise in traitfixes; but somehow I doubt it as you explicitly mentioned to have seen the 'bug' both before and after you applied these...

Opening the files and saving as UTF-8 won't make any difference, as the information is already lost through a lossy conversion to the windows encoding (wincp1252). He'd merely save a UTF-8 version of the file with lots of valid question mark characters.

It is convention when converting between character sets that when you cannot represent a character that you replace it with "?", although in some cases it's shown as a small rectangle instead.

Examples includes the general Ansuhárjaz who have the traits "W?donezoBl?tom" and "Frow?on", or the faction leader Hêruwulfáz who has "Samanojon?m", "Druht?noz", "Sw?b?zez Victory Conditions" and "Hald?nFagroz" among his troublesome traits. All other traits of these two guys look normal in my game.


Thank you for your time, and my apologies for a late answer, I usually stop by the fora on a daily basis but my studies have had me terribly preoccupied as of late. I do wonder though what could be the issue here as Tellos reports that he has no such problems, perhaps I should try another reinstall this time on Barbarian Invasion.

Which should mean that this is 'on your end' as those traits you mentioned are all there on campaign start. (And I checked them to see if these display correctly.)

This seems to be an alx.exe related problem and I will appropriately move this to the proper forum, thank you again for the help.

the same thing happens on some of EB's faction pages...

Quick question ... I had a Client Ruler set up in one of my cities but he ended up having 2 Heroic Victories and being adopted yet he still has the Client Ruler Trait. Just wondering if (and why) this is intnetional or a bug.
