Firstly, many thanks to all the modders. I received SH5 as a birthday gift years ago and was sorely disappointed with its original version, until I found this community and its mods. After 2 years I still spend many a late night glued to the periscope with all the improvements to the vanilla game.

I have a question about Radio Messages ( in the English folder ). I notice all of the special characters in the Radio Messages come up 'glitched' while playing the game [EG: Kr�fte instead of Kräfte]. Playing around with the radiomessage.txt file in Notepad I notice that they are saved as UTF-8. If I correct a special character AND save the file under UTF-16 then it appears correctly in-game.

So, are the radio messages in the Mod saved as an incorrect format, or is it something I missed in the Mod install / options?

I'm using 7-zip 9.20 to unpack the mod. I'm on Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. I'm using NewUIs_TDC_7_4_2_ByTheDarkWraith but this problem goes back as far as version NewUIs_TDC_6_4_0 ( the oldest version I still have ) and I see the same issue with the stand-alone Radio_Messages_1_2_0_Non-NewUIs.

Any thoughts / fixes?

Thanks.
