Parsing log files doesn't handle encoding

[realgdubz]

Hi, I am trying to use your bot I used it in the past and loved it, so many awesome features. I tried setting it up again for my server, but I can't seem to get it to work. I don't know what I'm doing wrong I was hoping you could help me. I am using Python 3.10 and I have also tried other versions and no luck. It looks like the bot is starting normal, but the rcon doesn't show the amount of players and logs don't work also.

Bot working,but chat not work

[realgdubz]

Nothing is working.

[UrbanSide]

only the chat does not work for me ... the map, perks, the entry and exit of players work ... but the chat does not (((

[realgdubz]

Can you tell me what version of python you are using?

[realgdubz]

Its very strange, bot doesn't put out any help commands or show any logs, nor the players online with correct rcon info

[UrbanSide]

The most recent, 3.11 like ..

[UrbanSide]

The bot i use is from the fork https://github.com/a7xpadd3r/zomboi , but this one also worked, except for the chat.

[realgdubz]

Oh wow I didn't even know there was a fork of it. I will try that one, and post back thanks for the fast reply!

[UrbanSide]

Ok,but I still don’t understand how to start the chat, I don’t understand English well, maybe I didn’t setup bot correctly.

[realgdubz]

I found the issue, So in my env I have a custom path I don't use the default zomboid path for some reason it doesn't like when I use a different hard drive or my path.
my log path: E:\Server1_Data\Zomboid\Logs\

[UrbanSide]

Working?Does the chat work?

[UrbanSide]

Can you help if it's not difficult to set up? My game is stored along the path D:\Servers\PZ_Vanilla and the folder with configs and saves along the path D:\Servers\PZ_Vanilla\UData\Zomboid
Config file is like this:

Or is the chat still not working?
