As a result I installed the WOK5 Manager at home (I only run it at work, you know, where I have time hehehe
) and, oh surprise, had the same problems that he mentionned.It could well be that they modified the notepad in XP somehow, and as a result it wont show the INIs in the correct format (and also save them wrong) - basically it shows all <Enter> at the end of lines as boxes.
I found two remedies for the problem:
1> load the INI in wordpad and save it from there. This MIGHT work for most INIs, but strangely I still had problems with one INI when doing this. So cut and paste the data from wordpad into notepad and save it from there, this will work.
2> Even easier, go to the Map Central and click on 'Download' for the INI you need. This will display the INI data in your browser window. Now copy and paste this into notepad, save it - works ! (watch for the filename convention 'WOK4-xxx.txt' or 'WOK5-xxx.txt')
In any case the INI File Analyzer I wrote for the WOK5 Manager always performs a lot of tests with the data it gets. Therefore watch out to read '0 errors' after you loaded an INI.
This brought me to suggest that the GMC should come up with an FAQ for GMs, especially new GMs. We would need a page/document that answers all problems a GM could encounter - of course I would help doing such a thing and would also link to it from the main page.
