Codr Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 I have experienced some random crashes myself, but it's so erratic that I can't reproduce it to determine what's wrong. In my case, it doesn't happen on startup though. Edit: If the language files aren't available to the program, it does in fact crash on startup. The simplest way to fix this is to put them in the same folder as the exe. Alternatively a shortcut can be made that sets the "Start in" directory to the one the language files are in.

Dreamer Posted August 9, 2011 Author Share Posted August 9, 2011 It's kinda weird lol.Anyway thanks,i'll keep checking this thread in case more people encounter the same problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codr Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 I've figured out what this problem is. It's definitely a result of the language files not being present. Unfortunately they ALL need to be present at the moment or it will crash. I'll have it fixed for the next release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamer Posted August 9, 2011 Author Share Posted August 9, 2011 (edited) Hm but i didn't mess with the language files and after you unzip the downloaded file the exe is already in the same file with the language ones,no?

Codr Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 (edited) You're obviously not using English for Windows, which may have something to do with it. Those filenames are not what they should be, that's for sure. If you're not already, use WinRAR or 7-zip to extract the files to ensure that the filenames are preserved as they're intended to be. Edit: This is fixed in beta 26. Your filenames being wrong, however, is a problem regardless and not PokeGen's fault.

Codr Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 The problem with filenames is verified to be the fault of the program used to extract. WinRAR 3.8 and above will do it properly. I don't know about others. Edit: I just noticed that the built-in zip extraction in Windows doesn't work... how fail. I'll be renaming the language files for the next release.

Dreamer Posted August 10, 2011 Author Share Posted August 10, 2011 Just posting to say that i did get it to work and in case someone has the same problem(cuz i used WinRaR) you can rename the french and spanish language files by using alt special characters(those were the problematic for me).Also thank you Codr for your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arcee Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 You need at least WinRAR 3.8 Since version 3.80, support for ZIP archives, which contain Unicode file names in UTF-8. to extract the filenames properly, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
