Unicode support

What's about unicode? Can I read lines from wide-character format file (.txt) and display it with true type font for actor.Talk()?

WME string tables can be saved in UTF-8 format. Check the "Localization" chapter in the documentation for more details.

Can I use one string table only? It's definitely string.tab. Or WME can attach other files?

There's one primary string table (the one you assign in ProjectMan), but you can load other tables using the Game.LoadStringTable() method.

When I converted default strings.tab to UTF-8 and ran game, I found actors3d dissapeared in some scenes. "Dissapeared" means actor3d is invisible, but he walked at the floor and did some actions. Active is TRUE. What the matter? :) Huh, when I restored ANSI strings.tab, actor3d became visible. Maybe trouble is in 3dstudio-type programs? Actually, .3ds file... When I moved .3ds file valid scene to each invalid scene, actor became visible in these scenes too. Is problem in Maya?

Uhhh? So you mean, when the string table is in UTF-8 format, some 3DS files work and some don't? I don't really see any connection between string tables and scene geometries. Could you show me one of those "invalid" 3ds files?

I had wrong idea :( "Invalid" .3ds is valid with other scenes! The problem is in scene complete at all.

P.S. Can I attach files to my posts?

Thanks, I'll look into it later today.

You can't attach files to posts unfortunately, because this server runs PHP in safe-mode and the attachments don't work well.

Well, let's continue this topic! :)

The project contains of two scenes. To arrive to second scene you'll need to go to region entity between two upper 3d-blocks (.ShowGeometry is TRUE, of course). So if I started the game from WME Project Manager, there was alright. But if I started the game from package folder (game.exe file), the second scene didn't appear!

The scene_init.script in "1" scene is referenced by wrong path (data\scenes\bas\...), it should be just "scenes\bas\...". Try re-assigning the script in SceneEdit.

Uhhh... Thanks. I'm sorry, I wasn't punctual :) I checked the project, there was only one file with such oversight.
