Hi

 

I used the C3 con tools to mae a pack of all the custom motley crue songs, but some are showing up as M*tley Cr*e in rock band, not all of them just 3 – home sweet home, looks that kill, and to young to fall in love.

 

Any ideas how to fix this issue?

I had that happen to me as well, the only solution I found was adding each song individually instead of as a pack.

Encoding is a bitch. That’s all I’ll say.

Well, that and you can get it to work with enough patience.

I find that saving the songs.dta with a UTF-8 encoding and adding:

 

(‘encoding’ ‘utf8’)

 

towards the bottom of the song’s entry will keep those special characters. You’ll have to reinject a newly saved songs.dta saved as UTF-8 into the pack everytime after a build if you plan on regularly adding songs to this pack.

To me, the utf-8 encoding is the problem and the latin1 encoding the solution…

If you will pardon the necropost, I just wanted to say I ran into the same problem today, and C16’s solution worked for me. Thanks, C16!

I agree with C16, I had this problem a long time ago, here are the steps to solve it.

 

1. Use quick DTA editor to make the utf8 change (as C16 said)

2. If the text (ie motley crew) does NOT contain special characters, copy n paste correct text from somewhere else.

3. While quick DTA editor is still open in notepad, click save as and choose utf8 format. The file will be somewhere in your temp path.

4. Close notepad and let quick dta editor finish. The con will be OK from now on.

 

5. When including in a pack, change the encoding option to utf8 , that’s it.

 

I now always create packs in utf8, just in caseI have a utf8 con included.

 

Hope this helps.

So I’d like to know where you got those Motley Crue custom songs. I don’t see them anywhere on here and now I’m wondering what else I have missed?? haha

You have to search the database with the “ö” and “ü” otherwise the database won’t find them.

Oh well, duh. I guess that should have been kind of obvious. Thank you. ” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_smile.gif” />

Or you can search for “tley Cr” hahah, might be quicker than inserting special characters.
