Loxodrome - bug loading

[Sl-m]

Hi There,

While trying to load the loxodrome plugin in skp pro 2017 I have this message:

Error Loading File rp_loxodrome.rb
Error: #<SyntaxError: C:/Users/Slim/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2017/SketchUp/Plugins/rp_loxodrome.rb:19: invalid multibyte char (UTF-8)

Any help to sort out the problem would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

"invalid multibyte char (UTF-8)"

invalid character, it seems, should be easy to fix if there is no other problem

I think the plugin is scrambled so the author needs to fix or open source it.

it is a crypted file (rbs)

no way to fix it, except if you have the source file

Loxodrome - Free Plugins - Regular Polygon

This plugin creates a loxodrome (spherical helix, rhumb line) in SketchUp, based on parameters.
