It would seem ResGen tool on this version is broken.
When analysing map, you get :

CODE

5:         Read header...Success
6:             HL1 file (version 30) detected
7:             ERROR: Version differs from mod

I don't remember the version has changed.
It happens for all maps.

In this topic, a member notified me of bug with res files with UTF8 encoding.

Problem was fixed but there was still problem with existing files

HLBox already use UTF8 without BOM encoding since a long time.

The problem was with our inline generator that used ANSI for encoding. I have fixed for now but I have no immediate solution for already packed files.

Will try to find a solution for existing files.

So, there are lot of maps on 17buddies that have been "resgen" with old version of HLBox when it was bugged, before version 3.8.0.1 dated 05-12-2013 (we're now in version 5 for those who haven't updated HLBox)

It's now fixed since a long time, but maps on 17b have still bugged .res files in archives.

I didn't take the time to fix that. It's now done.

I have scanned all archives yesterday, searching for bugged .res files and I could find almost 9500 of them (exactly 9289).

As I don't want to rescan all files and create res file for each of them (it could lead to server overload) i have modified my download scripts in order to updated files smoothly.

Now, when you download a file, my scripts check if resgen needs to be fixed (indicator was installed yesterday during scan).

. If no, there is no modification and file is send to you as usual.

. If yes, a new resgen is made "on the fly" and archive is fixed just before being send to you.

This will allow me to repair each file progressively without creating server overload.

This works for download, install, HLBox and preview.

If you encounter problems, please send feedback.
