Parser anomaly - bug or encoding glitch?

OK, then whenever you see Macintosh (CR) or any other type of encoding with (CR) only, make sure to flip it to Windows (CR LF) by right clicking in that area in Notepad++ and selecting that newline feed type.

Oh but wait - it just hit me: no mention in the log of FE Ships being loaded... and that's where your amended overrides file is. I guess I'll have to start a Jameson to check if the Station environs contain any ships with the 'FE' suffix...

Well, I've never, as I recall, _ever_ seen any other encoding mentioned but Windows/DOS Ansi. It's a puzzle, all right.

Sorry, sorry... pulled an all-niter on this one...

I see this at the rightmost part of my N++ status bar:



That Windows (CR/LF) is what you want to see for any file you are editing for Oolite on Windows, at least on WinXP. On my Win10 your original "faulty" file worked just fine.

[Reval]

Ah right. No I don't see CR/LF in my version of n++ (version 5.9.. Just the Windows/DOS.

5.9.8 (why is PHPBB putting an emoticon in place of 'eight'???

[another_commander]

Do you have an "EOL Conversion" menu item under the Edit menu? That's another way to select the new line feed type.

[Reval]

If the worst comes to the worst, I can live with 'no comments' anyway: TAB renders the blocks pretty clear (at least for my modest purposes here).

Yes, and 'Windows Format' is greyed, leaving mac and linux to choose from.

[Reval]

Anyway, great tip, another_commander One lives and learns... Thanks so much for all your help.

[Reval]

Just a footnote: On all my other .plists (ie. my originals) the same Edit menu condition applies - Windows greyed (presumably selected?), leaving just linux and mac to choose from. I guess this is bad, right?

(I think I need to upgrade n++)

Edit: But, as I mentioned, same applies on our Win7 lappy - and that has the 64-bit (presumably new) version of n++.

[another_commander]

No, this actually means that your files are already with Windows CR/LF EOL types, so you are good.

Except that with all my originals (comments excised) the same situation applies in n++

[another_commander]

Well, damn. Best if you upgrade Notepad++.

[Reval]

Yep. I'll give that a go. The fact that the menu entry is greyed, not ticked, seems a little ominous, no?

But there remains the indisputable fact that latest version on Win7 threw out the same error, when I tried to make a ship there.
