[solved] Format EOL

[rinrin]

I've been seeing this error message a lot lately:

format-eol.jpg (14.8 KiB) Viewed 919 times

This happens when I open the script files, so I suspect it's connected to Editra, not Ren'Py itself.

Any ideas what could be causing this and how to fix it?

By historical accident, there's no agreement for how line breaks (EOL) should be encoded in text files. The warning is because your files use a mix between the Unix standard "\n" and the DOS/Windows-preferred "\r\n". Most programs can handle both, some Windows programs (notepad) don't work properly with "\n" linebreaks.

My guess would be you're editing the file in multiple text editors and they're not all configured to use the same type of line break.

Thank you for explaining that!

I don't actually remember opening this particular file in any other text editor, but I might have copy-pasted a few lines from another one?

In any case, should I just choose "Yes"?

[AxemRed]

Copy-pasting could be the cause. You can press "yes" safely.

Thank you!
Problem solved.
