Celestia Forums

Hi to all celestians.
I am trying to create my own cel scripts
and I am having some difficulties
with the text .
When I put greek instead of english and
save the script as
ANSI the greek characters dont appear
When I save the script as utf8 and try to
run the script the following
message appears in my screen

Fatal Error
'{' expected at start of script

Any suggestions are welcome

Thanks a lot for your time.

You have may forgotten the " { " at the start of the script but can you show me your script, please ?

This is my template script

Hi Georgiouk,

You can solve this issue by using Notepad 2 instead of the standard version of notepad.
