TFD Tool question regarding use with Mue's Target Area Editor

[Spudknocker 241]

So I have been working on a terrain and I noticed that for some reason Mue's Target area editor does something to the target.ini file that makes it unreadable to the TFD Tool...

 

This is what I did:  

 

I used the TFD Tool to edit some tiles... All targets are labeled and show up

 

Then went into the Target Area Editor and made some changes to a target area and then saved... 

 

Went back to the TFD tool and the targets were no longer readable only 5 out of 200 targets show up... 

 

I noticed that the file TFD Tool has no problem with looks like this:

 

[TargetArea001]

Name=target area 1 

Position=414937,147250

Radius=10000

ActiveYear=0

Location=1

Alignment=FRIENDLY <--------- with the alignment= statement last 

 

and on the one saved by the Target Area Editor its 3rd 

 

[TargetArea001]

Name=Target Area 1

Position=414937,147250

Alignment=FRIENDLY <-------------- here at #3 

Location=1

ActiveYear=0

Radius=10000

 

Anyone else had this happen?

Hmm, IMHO I don't think that the statement's position is the problem.  Have you checked if the _target.ini is saved in Unicode or ANSI?  IIRC the TFDtool can't read Unicode.  Most likely Mue's Target Editor saves it in Unicode, so just open the _target.ini with Notepad ---> save as ---> choose ANSI instead of Unicode.

Ya I found the issue it was saving the INI's as unicode and messed up the numbering of the targets...Thanks blaze
