SODE encoding error

Hey Oliver!  Great tool!

 

I get this encoding error caused by SODE.  Not sure how to get rid of it.  Any suggestions?

Hi Jason,

funny that this keeps coming back, looks like everyone who is running SODE has this?

The program that is required is called "Notepad++". https://notepad-plus-plus.org/

1. Make a backup copy of each file in the "incorrect encoding" message.
2. Open each file with Notepad++.
3. In the top menu bar there should be an entry “Encoding” - open that menu
3.a. For a "*.cfg" file select “UCS-2 Little Endian” (some versions call it "UCS-2 LE BOM")
3.b. For a "*.xml" file select "UTF-8" (some versions call it "UTF-8 BOM") = you need the UTF-8 version with BOM
3.c. Some versions of Notepad++ have "Encode" (top menu entries) and "Convert" (lower entries). Usually "Encode" is enough to change the encoding
4. Make sure that there aren’t any “funny characters” in the text of the file now
5. Save and close.

Best regards

Hi Jason,

that is probably UAC at work. When the program is supposed to access files in system (reserved) locations, you will have to run it as Administrator and/or give it administrator rights through the settings.

Ok I'll try.  I have UAC turned off.

I'm using SODE and addon organizer but haven't encountered that encoding error. I have UAC always on but after the v1.5.3 SODE update it is necessary to run addon organizer as administrator, which I don't mind. Cheers.
