Hey, I have a problem.
After adding things to a crate, everything's fine, but when i reload the server all name are screwed up, for example Strange Pickaxe after reload drops as ?6Strange Pickaxe
I supppose that ?6 mean color orange, but after reload or restart it wont just work.
Btw, sending you a ticket also, no thing strange in console appears, and using Essentials Chat.

Waiting for fast anwser :D its really important! send me an email even if you want to, I'd be thankful! [email protected]

Do you host your server on a windows box perchance?

Uhm... Idk, let me ask administrators. Btw., as you may notice arelady, guy here has the same problem: http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/strange-weapons/tickets/27-items-in-crates-losing-strange-modifiers/

Administrators wont respond, but I think it is Windows OR Linux. Any idea or fix? I cant use this plugin till it is fixed ;\ Also NOT getting any notes when turning off/restarting/reloading server like "Disabling StrangeWeapons", so maybe files get corrupted? How about adding a ./strageweapons reload command and /strangeweapons saveall ?

Tried using mySQL database instead yaml, still the same, uncrated stranges aren't working after reload, and still get ?<colorvalue> at the beginings of the lines in theirs describtion. ;\

I suspect you are running this plugin on windows. I believe windows has some issues with how it encodes stuff, so the section symbol is not being saved properly. Forcing the server to run with utf-8 (-Dfile.encoding=utf-8) as it's default format may fix this, but it also might screw up everything else.

Using mysql instead of yaml won't solve anything. Regardless of which format you use, the crates and drops are stored in yaml.

So encoding is the problem... Any idea how to fix it, cause I dont have direct acces to the server, so I cant change encoding ;\

@OsaPL: Go

You need direct access to the server.

My administrators replied, my server is running on a slighty modified linux. If its changing anything...

It's doing the same to me
