Output char buffer is too small to contain the decoded characters

[MrCruesliPants]

Thank you for providing this tool, @LemonHaze420. Sadly, I can't seem to get it to work. Any input/help would be super appreciated.

The command I used is C:\Users\fh\home\textures_w10-attempt\tools\wudecon_v1.0.7061.27731_windebug>.\wudecon.exe -tacfullv "C:\sm12\sm2\archives\dx11\data\disk_5b69b410.tac" "C:\output_a" "C:\output_b" mt7

The output I got is

Oops! C:\sm12\sm2\archives\dx11\data\disk_5b69b410.tac failed!
Exception: System.ArgumentException: The output char buffer is too small to contain the decoded characters, encoding 'Unicode (UTF-8)' fallback 'System.Text.DecoderReplacementFallback'.

Any ideas? Thank you!

As someone previously stated, you are not using the command properly. You need to supply the TAD file for the first argument with the --tacfull mode.

wudecon --tacfull <tad file> <tac output dir> <model output dir> <mt5/mt7>

Indeed, thank you very much for the helpful comments, it worked!
