Could you try saving your readme in the CP1252 encoding (same as weapons.dat)? If that doesn't really work, could you show me hexadecimal representation of the portion of the file with the pound symbol character? Mod Loader's code is expecting such character to be the hexadecimal value A3, much like R* code for parsing weapons.dat does. Though I am not sure how that works with readmes that can have arbitrary encodings.

Oh wow, that worked!

Here is what I did:

• I created a txt file and tried changing its encoding using Notepad++ (Encoding -> Character Sets -> Western European -> Windows-1252), but that really didn't work.
• So, I copied the original weapon.dat, changed its extension to txt, and then put the weapon data lines in there, and it worked.

The weapon data lines I used:

£ TESTMELEE MELEE 10.0 1.6 331 -1 0 UNARMED 4 1 null
$ TESTGUN INSTANT_HIT 55.0 100.0 357 -1 6 sniper 1 75 0.7 -0.05 0.2 1 300 1.0 1.2 6 17 7 6 17 7 99 A008

Note: I used HxD.
The hex representation of the weapon.dat renamed to txt containing the weapon data lines:
A3 20 54 45 53 54 4D 45 4C 45 45 09 4D 45 4C 45 45 09 31 30 2E 30 20 20 31 2E 36 09 33 33 31 09 2D 31 09 09 30 09 09 55 4E 41 52 4D 45 44 09 09 34 09 09 09 31 09 09 6E 75 6C 6C 0D 0A 24 20 54 45 53 54 47 55 4E 09 09 49 4E 53 54 41 4E 54 5F 48 49 54 09 35 35 2E 30 20 31 30 30 2E 30 09 33 35 37 09 2D 31 09 09 36 09 73 6E 69 70 65 72 09 09 31 09 20 37 35 09 09 30 2E 37 20 20 2D 30 2E 30 35 20 20 30 2E 32 09 09 31 20 20 33 30 30 09 31 2E 30 09 20 31 2E 32 20 09 20 36 20 31 37 20 20 37 09 20 36 20 31 37 20 20 37 20 20 39 39 09 41 30 30 38

The hex representation of the a new txt file containing the weapon data lines without encoding:

@thelink2012 Actually, IDK if you wanna close this issue; it's up to you. Is the above method a solution, or a workaround?

[thelink2012]

Workaround. You can leave it open.
