the use of ü in savegamepaths crashes the game

[stefson]

I'm running the game at commit 3eb7b5c and was about to save, added an ü in the name of the savegame, and the game crashed with

Appareantly I will have to delete the save game on my own, I get another crash when I try to load it. To be more precise, it crashes straight away when I click on load game, before anything from the file list can be seen.

I am using gentoo amd64, gcc-4.9.4 with glibc-2.23 and system-boost, if that is helpfull to anyone.

[MarkL1961]

It could be that either the game or your OS does not like that character.
I would try to rename your save from outside the game and then try to load it within the game and see if that works.
This is just what I would try so as to not lose any game progress and there is no guarantee it will work as I am not involved in the programming.

[stefson]

Sure, the file is written to disk anyway and can easily be renamed. It is something about boost, most users will not be familiar with solving this! ;-)

[Flamefire]

The problem is that ListDir returns a string vector instead of a widestring or boost::path vector. So the string is then treated as a widestring which in fact it isn't. So that function (and some call places) needs to be changed which isn't easy. I'm overseas ATM so can't help there, but if someone wanna take it?

[stefson]

thank you! this fixed them all - ä,ö,ü,ß,é - you name it ;-)
