I am running WC3FT v3.0 RC14 with AMXX v1.9

I am getting an "ML_NOTFOUND WAR3HELP" instead of a nice display of commands to help players.



I found in the motd.inl how the war3help is structured and it lines up with what's in game.

public MOTD_War3help(id)
{

	if ( !WC3_Check( id ) )
	{
		return;
	}


	// Get the game title
	new szGame[32];
	get_modname( szGame, 31 );

	new pos = 0;

	// Add header
	pos += formatex( szTmpMsg[pos], 2047-pos, "%s", MOTD_header );

	// Add the content
	pos += formatex( szTmpMsg[pos], 2047-pos, "%L<br>"	, id, "MOTD_DEVELOPED_BY" );
	pos += formatex( szTmpMsg[pos], 2047-pos, "%L<br>"	, id, "MOTD_CLICK_FOR_LATEST" );
	pos += formatex( szTmpMsg[pos], 2047-pos, "%L<p>"	, id, "MOTD_MORE_INFO", szGame );
	pos += formatex( szTmpMsg[pos], 2047-pos, "%L"		, id, "WAR3HELP" );
	
	// Set up the title
	new szTitle[128];
	formatex( szTitle, 127, "%L", id, "WAR3HELP_TITLE" );

	show_motd( id, szTmpMsg, szTitle );

	return;
}

The words in quotes (above) tie to words in the language file war3ft.txt (below)

MOTD_DEVELOPED_BY = Warcraft 3 Frozen Throne was developed by Geesu (also known as Pimp Daddy and OoTOAoO)
MOTD_CLICK_FOR_LATEST = Click <a href="http://www.war3ft.com">here</a> for the latest information and updates
MOTD_MORE_INFO = Click <a href="http://war3ft.com/online/war3info.php?game=%s">here</a> for more information regarding the races
WAR3HELP_TITLE = Warcraft 3 Frozen Throne Help

WAR3HELP :
This is how you bind a key<p>
1) Type ` to get to the console (key to the left of number 1)<br>
2) Type bind alt ultimate<br>
3) Type bind - shopmenu<br>
4) Type bind = shopmenu2<br>
5) Type bind p ability<p>
There are a few commands you need to know in order take full advantage of the plugin<p>
say /selectskill - Allows you to select skills before the start of the next round<br>
say /changerace - Allows you to change your race<br>
say /playerskills - Shows you what skills other players have chosen<br>
say /skillsinfo - Shows you what each skill does for the race you have selected<br>
say /itemsinfo - Shows you a list of items and what they do<br>
say /itemsinfo2 - Shows you more items<br>
say /level - Shows you what race, level and skills you have<br>
say /war3menu -  Shows the War3 Frozen Throne Player menu<br>
say /ability - if you have serpent wards it will plant them<br>
say /resetskills - resets your skills<br>		
say /resetxp - Will reset your level and XP to 0

:

I did a test by setting "WAR3HELP = Hello", which gave no error in the motd. It properly showed the WAR3HELP as "Hello" in-game.

Does the ":" syntax not work with AMXX v1.9 language files the same way it worked in v1.8.2? To be fair I am not even sure it has anything to do with AMXX, but I thought it might.
Asking here before I go through reinstalling the previous version of AMXX again.

I'm not positive I know what you mean, but I gave it a try.

I opened the war3ft.txt in notepad, went to "Save As...", selected the ANSI encoding from the drop down menu, and saved it. I reloaded the server and the motd was still giving me the same issue with ML_NOTFOUND.

I ran a powershell script to get the encoding of the .txt files and this is what it returned (war3ft.txt at the bottom):

Is this what you meant by switching it to Latin?

[Spirit_12]

That seems more like a motd limitation rather than AMXX one.

[pengi]

So I went ahead and reverted back to AMXX 1.8.2 without changing anything else and it fixed itself.

While it is fixed, it's not exactly solved. Anyone know why this would happen?

[elmedin]

Maybe because war3ft is outdated who knows

[fysiks]

You should use a real source code editor like Notepad++, never use Notepad. Then you can change the encoding to "UTF-8 without BOM" (this is the only encoding that you'll ever need with AMX Mod X).

It's certainly possible that you discovered a bug in 1.9. You could try 1.10 to see if it's till an issue there so that you can be sure that it's still an issue in the current development version of AMX Mod X.


EDIT:

Looking at the code, it looks like the functionality is meant to be in there but it looks like they refactored how they read the file since 1.8.2 so it's not unlikely that something broke.

[pengi]

I use Notepad++ almost always, but I was unsure if the encoding was doing anything when I clicked it. It felt very finicky when I would choose an encoding, then reopen the file and it wasn't really showing the encoding I chose just a second earlier.

Went ahead and loaded up v1.10 on my server and got the same error. So it seems it's still a bug in the current build. Not sure where to report the bug though.

This is basically solved with fysiks input. How can I mark it solved?

[elmedin]

Edit ur post on advanced, and look at ur title on ur left u will see the prefix, and u switch the prefix to Solved

[OciXCrom]

Not sure where to report the bug though.
