XML: can't use

[Boz the virtual being]

I can't use XML files with the new Irrlicht XML Parser. The one in the example "meshviewer" works but if I change anything and save the xml file the program crashes and doesn't load the xml. I tried using 3 different XML editors, even an old Microsoft XML notepad that saved the file to ASCII format. Is this a bug?

Most likely not a bug. Any XML file is just a plain text file.

What do you mean by change? The element tags? The content text?

Yep, maybe a but. UTF-16 files work, there seem to be problems with simple ASCII-files.

I used Dreamweaver (it should save to UTF-16) to edit the xml but it doesn't work. Even when I don't change the xml just save it with another program it doesn't work. What XML editor do you use?

[saigumi]

Textpad (shareware, but can have syntax highlighting)
Notepad (free)

I'm having the same problem. I started out w/ ANSI (default) in NotePad, and I end up with multiples of that which resembles the following in my debug:

Code: Select all

Could not load texture: C:\progs\espionage\media\Textures\04_jupiter.bmpýýýýð­ºð­ºð­º««««««««

And, when I try saving it in Unicode (which I assume is UTF-16 LE) and Unicode Big Endian, I end up with the same result.

This is my code

Code: Select all

c8* YUWorld::GetCData(io::IXMLReader* xml,wchar_t* attrib)
{
	wchar_t*		wtmp	= (wchar_t*)xml->getAttributeValue(attrib);
#ifdef _NDEBUG
	io::IXMLWriter*	XML		= IDevice->getFileSystem()->createXMLWriter("c:\\progs\\espionage\\debug.txt");
	XML->writeText(wtmp);
	XML->drop();
#endif
	c8*				ctmp	= (c8*)malloc(wcslen(wtmp));
	wcstombs(ctmp, wtmp, wcslen(wtmp));
	return ctmp;
}

For the most part, it seems good, but I know I'm overlooking something. You can call me Ben Stein, because I asking, "Anyone? Anyone?"
