Ren'Py 5.6.2 Released

[PyTom]

Fix for the unicode issue:

Go into SciTE, and change the encoding to utf-8 (not utf-8 (Cookie)). Put the line

# coding: utf8

as the first line of the file. It should work.

Doesn't help:

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but an exception occured while executing your Ren'Py
script.

Ren'Py Version: Ren'Py 5.6.2a

[PyTom]

Can you attach the new file, and send it to me? It worked for me, so something must be different here.

Okay, this file still has the byte order mark on it. This is an invisible mark at the start of the file that tells us it's a UTF-8 file.

Hm... once the BOM is there, I don't see a good way to delete it, using just the windows tools I know.

I've attached a version of launcherinfo.py that has the BOM removed. You should be able to make this work, until I properly integrate support for utf-8 encoded python files into Ren'Py 5.6.3.

(I've renamed it to .txt, because the board would prefer to not let me attach .py files.)

[denzil]

This doesn't work too. Well I can wait for 5.6.3.
Traceback attached.

I'm using Crimson Editor (free) and it lets you change the encoding of a file. You can have UTF with BOM or without. It's a matter of copy/pasting the content in a new no-BOM file.

I'm using Crimson Editor (free) and it lets you change the encoding of a file. You can have UTF with BOM or without. It's a matter of copy/pasting the content in a new no-BOM file.

As well I can use hexaeditor or python script to get file without BOM. But even without BOM it doesn't work. So I'll just wait for 5.6.3.
