Sweboz question marks

[TheStranger]

Hi, I have a problem with some sweboz traits, which show question marks instead of the correct letters. The strange thing is, I started a game with Pahlava to see how the letters are written here and there is not one question mark, everything is correct.

I have EB 1.2 (installed a few weeks ago), all fixes and Alex.exe.The screen is from my ongoing KH campaign but the problem doesn't change when I start a new Sweboz campaign.

I have attached a screenshot to show you the problem.

Thx, hope you can help me

Please run a validation and see if your EDCT comes up as changed.

Sorry I said wrong, I meant export_VnVs.txt. Anyway, it shows that you have a modified file:

Changed file: .\eb\data\text\export_vnvs.txt (expected checksum e81e15e60d207e5e4571f1a771796dd2, got 09f492937af886a36e2393629801ea03)

I would think that this is the cause of the problem.

[TheStranger]

Hmm I didn't change anything, maybe it is cause of alex.exe? Don't know.

So could someone send me that file, would be very nice :)

edit: the file was changed with alex.exe installation.

Would be useful if a alex.exe player could send me his file :)

[TheStranger]

It is indeed a bug with the .txt file under alex.exe, because other players have the same problem.

[XSamatan]

Yes, I'm interested. How do you want to hand the file over? Shall we debate that per PM?

XSamatan

[TheStranger]

Ok, I sent you a PM.

[bovi]

I'm sure Maksimus would be interested in that, or whoever is maintaining the Alex pack.

[XSamatan]

thanks for the reminder bovi, wanted to send it forward before christmas....but then the family business was too much. Will send it next days.
