ObjectMerger and Umlaute/encoding problems

[Barade]

hey,
recently I've used the ObjectMerger on my map. Something like:

//! externalblock extension=lua ObjectMerger $FILENAME$
		//! i function createFavoriteAbility(name, class, abilityId, spellAbilityId, icon)
		//! i setobjecttype("abilities")
		//! i createobject("Aspb", abilityId)
		//! i makechange(current, "anam", name)
		//! i makechange(current, "ansf", "(Favoritenfähigkeit - "..class..")")
		//! i makechange(current, "spb5", "1", "spellbook")
		//! i makechange(current, "spb2", "1", "0")
		//! i makechange(current, "spb4", "1", "1")
		//! i makechange(current, "spb3", "1", "1")
		//! i makechange(current, "spb1", "1", spellAbilityId)
		//! i makechange(current, "aite", "0")
		//! i makechange(current, "arac", "human")
		//! i makechange(current, "aart", icon)
		//! i end
	
		//! i function createGrimoireAbilityPair(name, tooltip, class, level, baseId, abilityId, grimoireAbilityId, icon )
		//! i setobjecttype("abilities")
		
		//! i createobject("ANcl", abilityId)
		//! i makechange(current, "anam", name.." - Stufe "..level)
		//! i makechange(current, "ansf", "(Zauberbuch - "..class..")")
		//! i makechange(current, "atp1", "1", name.."[|cffffcc00Stufe "..level.."|r]")
		//! i makechange(current, "aub1", "1", tooltip)
		//! i makechange(current, "Ncl6", "1", baseId)
		//! i makechange(current, "Ncl5", "1", 0)
		//! i makechange(current, "Ncl1", "1", 0.0)
		//! i makechange(current, "Ncl4", "1", 0.0)
		//! i makechange(current, "Ncl3", "1", 1)
		//! i makechange(current, "abpx", 0)
		//! i makechange(current, "aani", "")
		//! i makechange(current, "ahky", "")
		//! i makechange(current, "aeat", "")
		//! i makechange(current, "acat", "")
		//! i makechange(current, "acap", "")
		//! i makechange(current, "atat", "")
		//! i makechange(current, "ata0", "")
		//! i makechange(current, "achd", 0)
		//! i makechange(current, "aord", 0)
		//! i makechange(current, "aher", "0")
		//! i makechange(current, "alev", "1")
		//! i makechange(current, "arac", "human")
		//! i makechange(current, "aran", "1", "0.00")
		//! i makechange(current, "aart", icon)
		
		//! i createobject("Aspb", grimoireAbilityId)
		//! i makechange(current, "anam", name.." - Stufe "..level)
		//! i makechange(current, "ansf", "(Zauberbuchfähigkeit - "..class..")")
		//! i makechange(current, "spb5", "1", "absorb")
		//! i makechange(current, "spb2", "1", "0")
		//! i makechange(current, "spb4", "1", "1")
		//! i makechange(current, "spb3", "1", "1")
		//! i makechange(current, "spb1", "1", abilityId)
		//! i makechange(current, "aart", icon)
		//! i makechange(current, "aite", "0")
		//! i makechange(current, "arac", "human")
		//! i end
		
		//! i function createGrimoireSpell(name, tooltip, icon, class, levels, abilityId, baseId, startId)
			//! i createFavoriteAbility(name, class, startId, abilityId, icon)
			////! i for i=1, levels do
			//	//! i createGrimoireAbilityPair(name, tooltip, class, i, baseId, tonumber(startId) + 1 + i, tonumber(startId) + 2 + i, icon)
			////! i end
		//! i end
		
		//! i createGrimoireSpell("Testzauber", "Dieser Zauber besitzt einen tollen Effekt", "", "Kleriker", 5, "A000", "windwalk", "AY00")
	//! endexternalblock

and after the JassHelper had run it I got a strange problem. For many abilities which started with an Umlaut I think the first letter has been removed.

Is there any known bug?

By starting with an umlaut do you mean the ability ID, name, tooltip or something else?

I've also occasionally had problems. For instance, I can't use the Ascii library because JassHelper throws errors.

Any string field. I did not know about this problem before but I can reconstruct it. Well, mutations are not in the standard ascii, when you write them, it uses UTF-8 and 2 bytes to maintain the representation. ObjectMerger probably does some conversion mistake when reading the data in. Also it inlines all strings in the objMod file.

But that's what I wrote in postproc, operating with tools on the original map file can mess it up if the tool is not 100% safe (or your input for the tool).

Now how is this going to be fixed? I guess nobody is still working on the ObjectMerger?
