MSQ Saves

[LT401Vette]

Eric,
When opening and modifying this MSII 2.36 msq in MegaLogViewer, then savinging, MT generates Warnings when reloading it.

Code: Select all

   WARNING(04): Constant "IACcoldtmp" units mismatch, "°F" in msq, expected "°F" from ini.

   WARNING(04): Constant "IdleHyst" units mismatch, "°F" in msq, expected "°F" from ini.

   WARNING(04): Constant "clt0" units mismatch, "°F" in msq, expected "°F" from ini.

   WARNING(04): Constant "egoTemp" units mismatch, "°F" in msq, expected "°F" from ini.

   WARNING(04): Constant "fastIdleT" units mismatch, "°F" in msq, expected "°F" from ini.

   WARNING(04): Constant "mat0" units mismatch, "°F" in msq, expected "°F" from ini.

   WARNING(04): Constant "tempTable" units mismatch, "°F" in msq, expected "°F" from ini.

So the errors all appear to be around the "°F". But it I open the original MT saved MSQ and the MLV saved MSQ, It do not see the funky a. It looks fine.

Any insight? Is my XML parser maybe just turning the ° from ASCII to Unicode? Then MT see's and extra byte in front of the °?

I copied the °F from both MSQ's into a hex editor and sure enough there is an extra byte in front of the °. Then I checked the encoding, uh oh.... MSQ's are in "ISO-8859-1"
MLV is encoding to UTF-8

Code: Select all

°F

Phil,

I saw this in some of the ini files that James had, I think it was the editor he was using. I use gvim to edit them (old unix habit of editing everything with vi), so I saw the funky characters right away. I'm guessing that it's wordpad that's doing the damage.

It was actually the encoding I was using when I did the xml transformation. I was using the default UTF-8 instead of ISO-8859-1. This put things in unicode and added an extra byte in front of the ANSI character.
