Every time I come back to servuo, the level of additional updates and work on this project blows my mind. Rutibex, massive massive props.

How much of this was made possible with vibe coding?

hahaha I am a librarian. before 2020 I knew nothing about C#. ChatGPT taught me everything.

Though there is many scripts written by actual programmer who posted it publicly, and I just modified them. And Azrok added a few things personally
 
I can't wait to learn how to get everything downloaded that I need to run my own personal shard. It looks like you guys are doing a tremendous job with Shard of Minax!! Thank you.

I'm sorry but I do not know what is happening. It might be something to do with your operating system or version of .net but I have no real idea. I can not reproduce this error

This is ChatGPTs best guess (it got confused about the character ❤ = $)

When you compile on a machine whose default “ANSI” code page isn’t UTF-8 (for example, Chinese Windows using GBK/CP936), that little red heart character (❤) in your .cs file actually becomes two bytes and thus two “characters” when the C# parser reads it as a character literal. That explains why on your machine (where your editor is probably saving the file as UTF-8) it shows up as one character, but on theirs it looks like two.

What’s happening under the hood
Character literal ('❤') in C# must be exactly one UTF-16 code unit.

In GBK/CP936, the heart glyph isn’t in the single‐byte table and is stored as a multi‐byte sequence.

When the compiler opens the file using the system ANSI code page, it sees two 8-bit values, thinks you wrote something like '\xXX\xYY', and complains “too many characters in character literal” (and “unexpected character …”).

Two easy fixes
Save the source as UTF-8 (with BOM)

In Visual Studio (or your editor), choose File → Save As → Save with Encoding → UTF-8 with signature (BOM).

This lets any Windows machine know “hey, this file is UTF-8,” so the compiler will read ❤ as one Unicode character.

Use an explicit Unicode escape or string
Replace your literal with one of these:


// As a char (single code‐unit)
char heart = '\u2764';

// Or as a string literal
string heart = "❤";
That way you don’t depend on file encoding or code pages at all.

I replaced the wrong file with another one, and it can now be started. The issue has been resolved.

Nope. No matter how many times I have tried it, I could not run it. I got the latest version and it still is not working. I wish I could :(

Shard Of Minax uses VitaNex? Just checking, as this looks like a compatibility issue, Vita requires newer c# framework and will not work on older servers from what I have seen! Not 100% sure what Minax has so am poking at possible reasons why!
