Problem adding characters.

[akko888]

I cannot add some characters.

When I open the files, it usually says Xname[1], and when I click on that it usually takes me to another file just entitled Xname.  Those files are fine.  That is because I can just enter that name directly into the select.def file.

But, other files just have Xname[1], and when I open that it brings me directly to all of the .cns and .air and other files.  Because of this there is no name to enter into select.def.  Here s an example of what i am trying to say:

Unzipped->brolyssj4[1]->brolyssj4.cns, brolyssj4.air does not work.

Unzipped->nobunaga[1]->nobunaga->nobunaga.cns, nobunaga.air does work.  Notice that when I open nobunaga[1] it takes me to a file entitled "nobunaga" instead of taking me directly to all the files, like "brolyssj4[1]" does.

I've already tried entering "brolyssj4[1]" into select.def, as well as "brolyssj4" alone, and neither of them work.  There are like 10 of these files that do not do this, and much help would be appreciated.

in the select.def you must enter the foldername ok?
the characters name must be indentical to the foldername.
ex. Character.def is your character, his folder must be named Character (in your case it would be whatever the def files name is)
the folder must not contain the .def part.
there cant be more than one folder that carries the def file in your character
ex. it cant be like this
Character > Character > Character > all the files in the character..it must be like this
Character > all the files to the character..

Understand??? ??? ??? ???

some character packed with release name rather than its real name, when extracted usually it has folder inside a folder, use the one inside which has the same name as its .def name.

or for some other cases with japanese character, if your windows doesn't have asian pack languange, then you need to rename all the important files that use that asian font

Ok, I suppose I wasn't clear.

I do fine when there is a folder inside a folder.  THAT IS FINE.  Nobunaga and ASH both have that, and they work fine.

What I DO have trouble with are the files that DO NOT have a folder inside a folder.  I DO NOT KNOW how to get the name to use in the select.def file.

Folder>Folder=

Folder>All Files=

You need to type in the Characters DEF name into the Select.def.

Also, Characters should only be in one folder, and that folder should match the name of the Characters DEF name.

Example:

Rugal/
Rugal.def
Rugal.cns
Rugal.air
etc....

so you should type in "Rugal" into your select.def

The following will not work because the characters folder and DEF name are different.

Rugal1/
rugal.def
rugal.cns
rugal.air
etc..

You can remove the 1 from the folder name and it will work.

I can't say I know for sure why that is happening.
But i can tell you 2 ways you can probably fix that.

the first one is to check your .def file and see where it is looking for the .air and .cns files. Maybe the ones that do NOT have a folder have a def file telling it to look into a folder. when it can't find the folder it messes up.

the second way you can try to fix that, is simply make a folder and put the CNS and AIR files in it. then you can either try it like that or open up ur def file and make sure its looking for the .air and .cns files inside that folder.
it won't fix the glitch, but it will get around the problem. probably.
