Chat displays "HL2MP_Chat_All" when trying to send a message. (Source SDK Base 2013 Multiplayer)

[Wontairr]

Making a source mod off of the source sdk multiplayer base, but whenever I try to say something in the chat it just gets displayed as "HL2MP_Chat_All".

I've also tried to make my own "mymod_english.txt" text file that includes what people say is the fix, but it has done nothing. please help!

hello! been a while so i did eventually find a fix.

make sure you have notepad++ installed and open up your "mymod_english.txt" file. scroll down to the "HL2MP_Chat_All" line and delete the weird white bubbles with letters like STX, SOH, and ETX in that line. after that save it, then try running the mod again. (you might wanna do this for the other _english.txt file aswell)

its been a while since i worked on my mod but im pretty sure thats how i fixed it.

I found the fix. Change the encoding of the text file to UTF-16 LE BOM (You can do this in Notepad++)
