Thank you for your report. As instructed in your previous ticket we need step by step instructions of what you've done that resulted in the described error. For future bug reports, please consult this guide .
This is likely caused by improper UTF-16 handling by Blender on Windows that should be fixed by D9822. However, without having the required information to reproduce the problem I cannot confirm if the patch would fix it.

Short description of error
An error occurred while installing'mod3' for import-export of mhw.
"'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xb9 in position 22: invalid start byte"
Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
run blender
click to "edit" -> "preferences" -> "add-on"
installing the 'mod3-mhw~(
Mod3 Model Importer-master.zip)'
(4. If it works normally, there will be'mod3' in import-export.)
[Based on the default startup or an attached .blend file (as simple as possible)]
Blender's pyton that I downloaded : python37.dll
If you need more information, I will write it in the comments.
However, I am very new to coding. Please explain the solution in detail.
I went into the place you posted on'to mention', but I don't understand. Addresses like source/blendlib/intern aren't in my blender. Also in pythons37 the code is at least the word'define'.
@helouu Those files are the source code of Blender which is compiled into the
blender.exe. The patch I mentioned should be included soon and then you'll be able to test one of our daily builds to check if this resolves the problem. Based on the provided information it seems likely, but I haven't had time to test this yet. In order to reproduce the problem I would have to change my localization settings to Korean.Does that mean that I can download it from Blender's homepage after the error is patched later?
(I'm really new to this, so I have a lot of questions. I'm really sorry.)
Yes, once the patch has landed it will be included in the daily builds of the Blender versions that are currently in development. They can be downloaded from the following page https://builder.blender.org/download/. Please note that these are experimental builds and should not be used for production work.
I understand. Finally, one more question... The file I mentioned,'mhw-mod3~', is specialized for Blender 2.8 ver, so I didn't properly experiment with 2.9. If the 2.92ver.beta, 2.93.ahlpa version does not continuously apply, can you send it me separately as 2.8x version?
And thank you very much for your hard work. The stuffy part got better!!
@helouu The patch is now in the master branch (blender/blender@5496d8cd36) and will be included in the next daily builds of Blender 2.92 and 2.93 .
You will have to modify the add-on to work in 2.9x then. There haven't been many API changes in the meantime, so this shouldn't be too complicated. If you need help with this, please either contact the original developer or ask about it on one of our community websites .

Since the fix is in the daily builds: is this issue resolved?
Changed status from 'Needs User Info' to: 'Resolved'
Since the UTF-16 issue has been fixed, it worked in my tests and we haven't received any reports of the contrary in over a week, I'm closing this ticket as resolved.
