Hi guys, anyone knows how to switch coding of letters in registry so that IA animations work properly? I don't remember what to switch, where to switch nor how to switch anymore :S I think it has something to do with ANSI but i might be wrong

I think you have to change the "Language for non-Unicode programs" in the "Region and Language" Control Panel to "English (United States)" for IA to work. Might be called something else if you don't run Win 7 though.

It's in the readme, pretty much as hook71 says. There was also a thread about this you started last time you were playing - I thought you had it sorted out, or are you doing a new install?

I'm reinstalling some mods including IA on a new pc and i have forgot which region you have to choose, thanks.

There was also a fixed version for the ANSI issue, but it looks like it was never released.

Sent the files to Miloch/et al. who currently maintain this mod sometime last year; assumed it had gone through.

It was not, for several reasons. Although it is probably a fairly minor change in the patching code, it results in a fairly major change downstream. All the animation files need to be renamed, as well as 2da references (e.g. for soundclips) and thus all the major archives would need to be reuploaded. Then all the references in the tp2 code to animation files (and there are many of these for component filechecks) and, most time-consuming of all perhaps, all the references in all other mods, at least a handful of which use the existing IA schema (some quite large, like the Vecna mod). And all that has to be fixed more or less simultaneously so we don't get folks trying to use two different schemes. And if all that's being fixed, we may as well address the other outstanding IA fixes and work in progress. I would like to have had to time to do all that but have not even had access to my mod development computer for several months. (Nice to see you around again btw Erephine... it's been a while .)

Having said all that, the workaround as posted in the readme works as verified by beta testers with Russian OSes etc. You have to do it correctly and in the right order of course (for example, I don't think it will do much if you change it after the install). Or if it doesn't work on some OS versions, we need more information than what's been posted.

If I remember correctly, there were a few other fixes in it as well, which is a shame. While I don't really have the time to devote either, I could try and isolate them for an interim patch, perhaps?

Likewise. Good to be here, too
