    • Something not working when you know it should? Easy mistake to make in Novatools

      I just spent 45 minutes trying to find out why i couldnt buy some outfits.
      Know what the problem was? It turns out that when i was copy and pasting the "Avail on" fields to fill in !b424 in them when i first tried to copy them, i pressed ctl-c instead of cmd-c. This appeared to blank out the field. So i typed in "!b424" again, copied the field, and pasted it into all the other outfits. And none of them could be purchased. I was about to post here, when, pondering the existance of a bug in resedit, opened them with templates. And there i saw in the availon field, infront of the "!b424" a square box (like you get from a charachter that cant be displayed). That ctl-c inserted an invisable character that IS displated when viewing with templates, but is NOT SHOWN by Novatools (WHY?!).
      If you cant find anything else wrong, Always check for invisable charachters.

      Another bug in Nova tools - it won't save the LCName or abbreviation for Jünk resources. Have to open the resource via the template to get it to stick.

      I know i have set the junk abbreviation via novatools, though i recall having to do it twice, and that it still wasnt set on one of them, which is very odd.
