New Export error?

[Jamey]

Notepad doesn't show anything out of the ordinary for me... Could something in my system's preferences be preventing me from seeing invisible unicode or even unicode boxes?

[D'Lanor]

Notepad is simply not capable of showing them, nor should it be. Advanced editors may show control code characters but in fact they are not meant to be shown. That is why they are called "non-printing characters".
The unit separator character btw is not a unicode extension. It is a control code character from the good old ascii set, dating back from times when text editing and printing were equal to rocket science.
Other characters in this category are the (horizontal) tab or the new line (line feed / carriage return). You see the effects of these (if handled by the software) but not as actual characters in the text.
There are 31 control code characters but apart from the ones I mentioned they are rarely used. Some have specific use in programming languages but they should not be seen or entered by users.

So the question is: What the heek are you doing that places these characters in your text?

Absolutely no idea If I knew, I'd do whatever I could to avoid them, because trying to delete them is a HUGE pain...

What happens next? Should we try to figure out how to delete these little pests? Or should we try to figure out what I'm doing that is putting them there in the first place? (I'd prefer the former first, but I'm afraid to do the latter )

Overall, As long as my problem with this alc-script gets fixed at the end, I'll be a happy camper.

[D'Lanor]

It is not hard to fix.

Download this file, unzip and open in Notepad. It will seem empty but it contains the problem character and nothing else.
Hit ctrl-a (select all), then ctrl-c (copy).
Open your Alcscript file.
Do a "find and replace". Just hit ctrl-v (paste) in the find box and type a space in the replace box.

The good news is, the age exports successfully now. The bad news is that half of my sitting mods don't work.

The Bench sitting region I'm having trouble with is BR1, and the sitting mods themselves (BE7 through BE12)

Here's the current script:

Did replacing the unicode characters throw the codes off?

[D'Lanor]

What do you mean by "don't work". If you mean "not clickable" then it has nothing to do with the characters or with the sitting mod. That is simply a messed up click region.

[Jamey]

Yeah, there is no hotspot coming up, nor is it clickable. It was working fine before I had all these export problems, and I have not made any changes to the click region that I know of Only editing in the alc-script to get rid of the invisible characters.

EDIT: Just checked the region properties of BR1, and found nothing unusual...I'm completely stumped as to what went wrong...

[tachzusamm]

Jamey, could you post the exact copy (I hope you have a backup) of your AlcScript version before you added the imager?
Maybe this way we could compare it with your current version, by doing a binary compare, to find out if this really could cause the problems you encountered.

[Jamey]

I unfortunately do not have a copy of the alc-script before the imager was added. Even if I did, I don't think it would make a difference since I did not edit any alc-script when applying the imager...

Here is the current alc-script I am using right now:

For the sake of clarification:

The region known as BR1, is the sitting region for the sitting mods BE7 through BE12.

The region known as BR2, is the sitting region for the sitting mods BE1 through BE6.

All sitting mods within Region BR1 do not work.
All sitting mods within Region BR2 do work.

[Paradox]

Neither of those regions exist in your AlcScript...
