Problem with web support, UFT8

Hi,

I updated one of my games to the final version. Now I am trying to get it running directly in the browser.

The weird thing is - the previous version ran perfectly fine in the browser. In the new version I changed NOTHING on the folder structure, element names or such. The changed things are all in-game.

And yet I get an "Archive contains filename with non UTF-8 Encoded characters" error.

Sorry, but I don't understand this at all. Why is the previous version running without any problems?

So I spent the whole day now to change every name of every single data. No space, no äüöß, nothing other than the normal alphabet.

And still the same error.

What is it???

Can anyone help me please?

This seems like something I could diagnose, but not without seeing the file. Can you upload the "bad" zip file somewhere for me to look at?

Thank you!

Of course I can upload it: https://mega.nz/file/3fQ1nSTK#MWYPgIo7nTYC9so638akc0d0X5gj0TSg3Q5Kf4--VJg

Really appreciate your help :-)

Nevermind. I found it.

I forgot to delete an Ö. Which worked in the previous version perfectly fine. So I overlooked it.

Since it worked in the previous version, the real question is: WHY THE HELL DID IT WORK??????

I will never understand that.

Sorry that I bothered you.

Did you zip the two versions with a different zip program, or different settings in the zip program? Some programs encode to UTF-8 by default so a non-ASCII character will still work, and others don't.

No, I did everything the same as always. But thanks anyways, I solved it.
