 Macoman   |
Hi there! It's me, Macoman! Anyway, I was trying to add CA emitters to A metaroom I was working on. I tried using roomie, but when I tried to save my work, It Didn't save as a readable Cos file. does anyone know how to work roomie? and if not, are there any alternatives I should know about? |

Hi Macoman! I'm the creator of Roomie and I'd love to help if I can. Can you describe what you did that resulting in the unreadable COS file? Are you at least able to open the COS file in a text editor? |

Well, I put emitters on a map I designed on the Map editor, I clicked on save as, then I selected the .Cos file and I copied onto it. and no, It wouldn't read on the Caos tool. Thank you for replying so quickly! ![[nsmile]](/images/smilies/emot_smile.gif "[nsmile]") |

Can you make a very simple room and save one copy before adding emitters, and another copy after adding emitters? I'm curious if the CAOS tool is having trouble with Roomie's COS files in general or the emitters in particular. Another thing to try is opening the COS file in a plain text editor (like Notepad). I haven't used the CAOS tool myself, but I'd be surprised if it wasn't able to open the COS file at all, even if the code in the file was somehow messed up. Are you able to open the file in Roomie again? |

Are you saving with Unix line endings? The CAOS tool tends to crash or otherwise fail (but usually crash) if the line endings aren't CR/LF. |

Oh that's probably it - I've just always used "\n" since most modern applications aren't as picky. I wonder if it'd be best to use "\r\n" for all CAOS files generated by Roomie or Theist to be backwards compatible? |
