Screeps code & Visual Studio
-
I've just moved to external code editing and I ran into problem with Visual Studio - it's saving UTF8 files with Byte Order Mark (BOM) - "" in the beginning. Screeps can't handle the BOM.
It's possible to resave the files without the BOM (Advanced Save Options -> Unicode (UTF-8 without signature - Codepage 65001), but this process is arduous.
I found this handy extension by Sergey Vlaslov, that does it for you automagically - https://vlasovstudio.com/fix-file-encoding/
