Cyrillic Drawer/Filenames and JSGME

[Hebe Vollmaus]

For you guys using cyrillic letters in Filenames AND using JSGME on Not Cyrillic-Operating-Systems:


o Create a Drawer in JSGME-"MODS"-folder called "Cyril-Test" or so.
o Below (in this drawer) create the complete structure:
"data\Roster\German\Sea\CABlБcher.cfg"
maybe put the word "Dummi" into this file
and
"data\Sea\NCA_BlБcher\NCA_BlБcher.dat"
maybe put the word "Dummi" into this file.
(Also here the content is irrelevant, it will only show JSGME-Filehandling.)
o Activate this "Mod" in JSGME.
o Deactivate this Mod in JSGME.Now try to find these files in your SH3-install.
The files should have been removed. But are not.

On my Win7-System they are already there! Even JSGME has been shown they are removed.
Even either "requireAdministrator" or "asInvoker" is used as Token in JSGME.
Thats why i avoid Multi-byte-Letters in Drawer/Filenames.

There is a Replacement to JSGME, but it looks to me Nobody is using it. Including myself.

Greetings.

Similar happens with special characters, such as the umlaut and diacritic in an ANSI or UTF-8 encoded text file, doesn't it? UTF-16 uses 2 bytes for all characters, and is undesirable on all accounts. I have found one article where it mentions that UTF-8 without BOM does use 2 bytes for some of the special characters, and if that is true, then it is also not acceptable. Are we therefore bound to eliminate all special characters? or am I missing something in this Hebe?? :hmmm: - Also, what is your JSGME replacement suggestion? OMM?? Thank you! :salute:

Accurat. Or better, the same view as i have. I cannot remember a time where those things was not a problem.
Go open the Operating-Systems "Zeichentabelle" maybe in english "Character table"?
Change between "Windows: Westlich" and "Windows: Kyrillisch".
There one can see that there are a lot of letters different. The problem pops up first when a file created on one Computer have found a way to another Computer.
Or in this case here into an old Program.

The BOM itself has no impact on the content. I think it is the same nonsens when Windows[TM] tells you the file may be broken, when you change its extension.
If files has to be leave a computer it is best to use the lowest common denominator. (Den kleinsten gemeinsamen Nenner.)

Have you ever transfer files from your old Computer to a New one?
Even from"Windows: West" to "Windows: West" i had in the past problems with Umlauts. Also on the same Mashine the System shows different letters in the Console than in the File-Manager. And so on and on.

I hate discussing Windows-problems here, as it has nothing to do with SH3. But as we all use JSGME it must be.
The Replacement to JSGME was also made past several years. If i had remember its name, i had written it down. :03:
I have to search it again.

Was it OvGME, or perhaps OMM (Open Mod Magager)??
