O.P. Packing script error
Hi
I'm trying to pack a script. It's just one .js file that is functional (tested it before packing it).
My ScriptInfo.xml looks like this:
code:
<ScriptInfo>
<Information>
  <Name>The list</Name>
  <Description>Prints your points from the list to your psm every five minutes.</Description>
  <Version>1.00</Version>
  </Information>
  </ScriptInfo>

I've already tried backing the code up and deleting it from the script manager and then running the .plsc but it keeps telling me that it's corrupt or something.
I've tried creating the ZIP archive with WinRar and 7zip.

Any pointers?

RE: Packing script error
Are you saving the ScriptInfo.xml as Unicode?

I though that was optional?
Anyway, I saved it as UTF-8 now, same error.

Try using the "Unicode" selection from the dropdown in Notepad.

If it doesn't work, please attach your Zip file here for us to look at

Nope, that didn't work.
(I never even knew notepad could do different codesets :') I just used n++)
Lol, nevermind. I think I understand why it's failing. Haven't really bothered to look inside the zip

RE: Packing script error
In Notepad++, you should select UCS-2 Little Endian as encoding. Also, it's a good idea to place an XML header in your ScriptInfo.xml:
XML code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?>
<ScriptInfo>
    <Information>
        <Name>The list</Name>
        <Description>Prints your points from the list to your psm every five minutes.</Description>
        <Version>1.00</Version>
    </Information>
</ScriptInfo>
