(GIT)Random Name Generator Errors

[Hachem_Muche]

Since the transfer from svn to git, the random name generator fails - causing an error when trying to create a character with a random name and frequently causing a crash when generating stair guards in the I.D.

I've traced the error back to trouble loading files in the mod.data.languages.names directory.
Sample error dump:

I cant seem to reproduce :/
Does it always fails or only sometimes ?

I didn't have a problem with this either. Are your files intact?

(Git origin/master branch.)

Ok. so I've deleted and reloaded the name files from the repository and, while they look the same in a text editor, they are obviously different.

For example, the shalore_female.txt I pulled is 13,786 bytes (vs greycat's 11755 bytes). As an extra check I copied over the the files from 1.0.4 release and don't get any errors.

Apparently I'm getting (slightly) different versions of (only?) these files that have some unprintable white space characters that are messing up parsing.

On a windows machine I'm pulling from http://git.net-core.org/darkgod/t-engine4.git
with options:
Remote: origin
Remote Branch: master
My full git configuration is:

Code: Select all

[core]
	repositoryformatversion = 0
	filemode = false
	bare = false
	logallrefupdates = true
	symlinks = false
	ignorecase = true
	hideDotFiles = dotGitOnly
[remote "origin"]
	url = http://git.net-core.org/darkgod/t-engine4.git
	fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
	puttykeyfile = 
[branch "master"]
	remote = origin
	merge = refs/heads/master

Since I've not used Git before, I'm sure I've got something set up wrong, I just don't know what it is.
