Loenn doesn't close on crash

[drifting stump]

Ok so the problem here is not that Loenn crashes, I can deal with that. The problem is that, whenever it does crash, it tanks my computer and I have to hard reset it. Closing Loenn doesn't work at all, hard restarting it using the keybind doesn't work, and Task Manager doesn't work to close it either.

try windows+r and typing in taskkill /f /im Lönn.exe

if you can't type the ö, windows+r and type in charmap, then find the ö character

[drifting stump]

I'll try that next time that happens and make sure that works

(I only sent this message after I hard reset the computer once, so the error went away for now)

[prime coral]

yeah fair

you could uhhh make a batch script which does that

though character encodings might screw you over

what is your windows language

[drifting stump]

Checking it rn

English (United States), is the native language of the device, I assume you need this and not the programming language my computer is in

[prime coral]

windows is in c

or c++, whatever

its not important, i meant the locale yea

i think you should be good if you type taskkill /f /im Lönn.exe into a text file and rename it into .bat

[drifting stump]

Alr I'll try that and make sure it works

Nope it isn't working

But honestly I'm ok to use windows+r cause it seems like that works

Ye doing that works to close Lonn

[prime coral]

did the icon change after renaming it into a .bat file

[drifting stump]

Yep it did and it ran like a .bat

[prime coral]

hm encoding issue then

how did you save the file

did you save it as ansi or utf-8 or something

right click, edit, then save as

[drifting stump]

I saved it as utf-8

should I save it as utf-16?

[prime coral]

save it as ansi

[drifting stump]

Oh ok

Nope didn't fix it

[prime coral]

yeah command prompt uses ansi

its inconvenient

what if you put pause on a new line and run it, then can you screenshot what does it say?

im sure the ö will look messed up

[drifting stump]

encoding issue

[prime coral]

yup

hmm

if you open command prompt and type chcp what do you see

851?

[drifting stump]

I see 437

[prime coral]

ah

so i forgor

one sec

[drifting stump]

alr

[prime coral]

uh-huh okay

the ö is character 0x94

if you go on charmap, can you find a character which is U+0094?

[drifting stump]

Is there a way to search on charmap

[prime coral]

under advanced

[drifting stump]

Oh wait huh

[prime coral]

theres a "go to unicode" thing in a small textbox

look at 0094

[drifting stump]

Nope there's nothing at 0094

[prime coral]

..hm

[drifting stump]

I'm pretty sure this is the right letter

but its at U+00F6

[prime coral]

[prime coral]

yeah it's character 0xF6 in Unicode, not in code page 437

and command prompt uses code page 437

hm thisll be tricky then

do you have a hex editor

[drifting stump]

Nope i don't have one downloaded

I think I found an online one maybe though

[prime coral]

hxd is a free one

by mael hörz

sorry if this is like, really cumbersome

[drifting stump]

Alr its installed

[prime coral]

open hxd and drag and drop the bat file in

[drifting stump]

dw this should be really helpful

[prime coral]

on the left you should see the bytes that make up the batch file

on the right you should see ascii characters

can you show the bytes

[drifting stump]

hold up

[prime coral]

change the F6 at offset 11 into a 94

[drifting stump]

let me remove the pause function rq

[prime coral]

you can keep it

it'll help us check if it did the thing™️

[drifting stump]

What exactly do you mean?

[prime coral]

okay so, each byte has an offset

the topleft byte is at offset 00

the one to the right is at offset 01

etc, until offset 0F

then, one row below, the offset is 10

next column is 11 and so on

i want you to change the F6 byte at offset 11 into a 94

so place your cursor at the F6 and type 94

[drifting stump]

Ohh i see what I'm doing now

[prime coral]

yep

[prime coral]

the 94 should be red

yep

now ctrl+s to save it

[drifting stump]

Alright I'll try it

[prime coral]

then run it and check if it did the thing

[drifting stump]

It worked!!

[prime coral]

massive

idk why cmd just decides to be a pain in the ass with non-ascii

either way, banger

[drifting stump]

no clue why

[prime coral]

i mean ik why, its just, why doesn't it just use UTF-8 from the get-go

and its not that it doesn't support it; you can chcp 65001 to make it use utf-8

[drifting stump]

Huh, thats just really weird that it doesnt start that way then

But anyways, thanks!

[echo kite]

i cant deal with Lönn crashing, what kind of issues are you having?

[prime coral]

i thought it was related to the lönn freeze like a previous post

hence why i didn't ping

[echo kite]

what freeze

[prime coral]

just realized you were never pinged

#1292973674328227945

[drifting stump]

Alright

Sad news

The program doesnt work to terminate lonn

Neither does doing the windows+r thing

Here's the error message the program is getting

Problem is that Lonn is definitely open

[prime coral]

do you have some setting related to resizing the entity list from the sidebar

read the thread i linked

[drifting stump]

Let me check rq

I have the setting

It is not enabled

Should I uninstall auroras lonn plugin?

[prime coral]

hm

try it
