Problem With the UTF Editor

Tue Jun 17, 2003 11:32 pm by Kilrae

OK I made a new ship from the ground up and I've discovered that something is screwy with my .mat files. Under the "material libray" in "Type" I put in DcDt like it should be but when I hit "Update" In the ASCII window it reads "DcDtUUt" well it's something like that. The "t" looks like a little cross and the "UU" have some wierd little things over them. I've looked at a ton of other .mat files and all of them say DcDt and look completely normal. Is there something screwy with UTF or did I screw up some place.

WHY OH WHY WONT IT WORK!!!!

try making it so that it interprets the data as a string. that might help.

It is being interpreded as a string. Sorry I left that part out. AS far as I can tell I'm doing everything right....but something has to be screwed up someplace. Has anyone else had this problem before?

I should probabally add that: just to see if there was a problem with something I did or the UTF editor it's self, I went under a few different .mat files for prexisting ships and erased the DcDt in is place, typed it agian, updated it and I ran into the same problem.

hm.. maybe some unicode issue?

have you tried typing the DcDt in notepad and then copy/pasting it into the UTF?
