bgi_dump.py UnicodeDecodeError

[qin]

Hi guys,

So I tried to use bgi_dump for what you would use it for, and I kept getting UnicodeDecodeError: 'cp932' codec can't decode byte 0x8d in position 23: illegal multibyte sequence.

How should I interpret this error and what steps should I take to fix it?
Thanks!

I cannot say for sure but maybe you're using wrong python version. See what python --version says and try 2.7 or 3.5 depending on what you dont have.

EDIT: you need python 3

Too many assumptions, man

Ironically, this thread is already the #1 result on Google for me, so just looking up the information is hard enough.

Please fill us in on some more infos, what's it supposed to be used for, on which game/engine, a direct link to where you got it from would be nice as well to get this sorted out ASAP.
