Im trying to set up a custom /help for everyone, I followed the info on the wiki, however when I start my server up it throws up an error and uses the default /help that lists all the plugins. Code: ignore-plugins: - All general-topics: Rules: shortText: Rules of the server fullText: | &61. Griefing is not tolerated. &B2. Hacked clients such as Nodus are not allowed &D3.

Any help/info on why these arent working would be great.
Yep, the problem isnt people not being able to use it. I ran it through the parser and its not bringing up any errors, however this is the start up error, so instead of showing the custom topics it just shows the default one with all the plugins. 2012-09-28 21:28:39 [SEVERE] Cannot load help.yml org.bukkit.configuration.InvalidConfigurationException: unacceptable character '�' (0xFFFD) special characters are not allowed in "<string>", position 690 at org.bukkit.configuration.file.YamlConfiguration.loadFromString(YamlConfiguration.java:55) at org.bukkit.configuration.file.FileConfiguration.load(FileConfiguration.java:138) at org.bukkit.configuration.file.FileConfiguration.load(FileConfiguration.java:105) at org.bukkit.configuration.file.YamlConfiguration.loadConfiguration(YamlConfiguration.java:175) at org.bukkit.craftbukkit.help.HelpYamlReader.<init>(HelpYamlReader.java:31) at org.bukkit.craftbukkit.help.SimpleHelpMap.initializeGeneralTopics(SimpleHelpMap.java:78) at org.bukkit.craftbukkit.CraftServer.enablePlugins(CraftServer.java:240) at org.bukkit.craftbukkit.CraftServer.<init>(CraftServer.java:199) at net.minecraft.server.ServerConfigurationManagerAbstract.<init>(ServerConfigurationManagerAbstract.java:50) at net.minecraft.server.ServerConfigurationManager.<init>(SourceFile:11) at net.minecraft.server.DedicatedServer.init(DedicatedServer.java:105) at net.minecraft.server.MinecraftServer.run(MinecraftServer.java:378) at net.minecraft.server.ThreadServerApplication.run(SourceFile:539) Caused by: unacceptable character '�' (0xFFFD) special characters are not allowed in "<string>", position 690 at org.yaml.snakeyaml.reader.StreamReader.checkPrintable(StreamReader.java:70) at org.yaml.snakeyaml.reader.StreamReader.<init>(StreamReader.java:50) at org.yaml.snakeyaml.Yaml.load(Yaml.java:399) at org.bukkit.configuration.file.YamlConfiguration.loadFromString(YamlConfiguration.java:53) ... 12 more
