character traits

[bobbin]

Notepad is fine for editing most files like the export_descr_unit, export_descr_buildings, descr_model_battle and descr_stat txt files, it has never worked with me for export_descr_character_traits.txt so i use notepad++ for that (well actually i use it for everything as its a lot better that notepad)

From what I've heard the reason notepad doesn't work with all txt files has something to do with the way it handles unicode.

I use Notepad++ too. However I noticed that it identifies EDCT as coded in ANSI...
I do not know a damn about various .txt files formats, could somebody clarify this issue a bit to the extent relevant to EB customizing/modding? Thanks.
