Thread: Strange String replacement...

hmmm... ok, so is not possible to copy this to another string like I thought?

I can print in my exemple the var SubString and got the exact substring that I want to work, but I can't copy that to a another string? are you sure?

is not a bad idea, I'll try to look more into it...

my first solution was only changing a line, and should work if I have the MOD source... I'll see if have something like that in the server/client source, not on the MOD one...

if I find that stuff will be really easy to fix the siamese twins problem.

thanks!

don't have such thing unfortunately... what have was in the DLL part which I can change, but will be ignored when the MOD is loaded...

but I found other interesting stuff in code, what could lead me to another solution...

ok, here with atoi convertion....

Code:

static void CM_LoadEntityString (const byte *data, const lump_t *l){

    char   *game = Cvar_VariableString("fs_game");
	int		i, j, Tam, TamNew;
	int		PA, PB, PC, PD, PL, L1, Num, Espaco, Aspas;
	char	*p, *ori, *HStr, *NewStr, *FinalStr;
	char	*PartA, *PartB, *PartC, *PartD;

	cm_numEntityChars = l->fileLen;
	if (cm_numEntityChars < 1)
		return;
	if (cm_numEntityChars > MAX_MAP_ENTSTRING)
		Com_Error(ERR_DROP, "CM_LoadMap: map '&#37;s' has too large entity lump", cm_map);

	cm_entityString = Hunk_Alloc(cm_numEntityChars + 1);
	memcpy(cm_entityString, data + l->fileOfs, cm_numEntityChars);

	// do string manipulation over cm_entityString if game = arena
	if (!Q_stricmp(game, "arena")){
		HStr = cm_entityString; // copy the original string to mine
		Tam = strlen(HStr);
		i=0;
		j=0;
	   while (j<Tam){
		   while (HStr[j] != '}'){ // copy to NewStr each Class
			   NewStr[i] = HStr[j];
			   i++;j++;
		   }
		   NewStr[i] = HStr[j]; //add '}' to the end of the class
		   p = strstr(NewStr, "info_player"); //see if is a spawn class
		   if (!p){
			   FinalStr = strcat( FinalStr, NewStr ); //if not, save and go to the next class
		   }else{
			   //if yes, start the hard work
               ori = strstr(NewStr, "origin"); //find the origin position
			   L1=atoi(ori); // converted to number
			   L1 += 8; // than add +8 (origin" ") to that position, which will reach the numbers of the axis
			   // find PartA from 0 to L1
			   for (PA=0;PA==L1;PA++) //seta parte 1/4
			   {
					PartA[PA]=NewStr[PA];
			   }
			   PL=PA; //creat a new var to control the place in NewStr
			   Espaco=0; //set to have zero spaces count
			   // find PartB from start of numbers until 2nd space
			   for (PB=0;Espaco!=2;PB++) //set part 2/4
			   {
					PL++;
					PartB[PB]=NewStr[PL];
					if (PartB[PB]==" ")
						Espaco++;
			   }
			   Aspas=0; //set to plics to zero count
			   // find PartC which is the Number, until reach next "
			   for (PC=0;Aspas==1;PC++) //set part 3/4 = Num
			   {
				   PL++;
					if (NewStr[PL]=='"')
						Aspas = 1;
					else
						PartC[PC]=NewStr[PL];
			   }
			   TamNew = strlen(NewStr); //find the size of NewStr
			   // find PartD from " after number until the end of class
			   for (PD=0;PL==TamNew;PD++) //set part 4/4
			   {
				   PartD[PD]=NewStr[PL];
				   PL++;
			   }
			   Num=atoi(PartC); // Convert to Number
			   Num += 15; //add 15
			   NewStr = strcat( PartA, PartB ); // make all 4 parts into one
			   NewStr = strcat( NewStr, Num ); //------------------------------------------------- NEED TO CONVERT????!!!
			   NewStr = strcat( NewStr, PartD );
			   FinalStr = strcat( FinalStr, NewStr ); // add all NewStr to FinalStr
		   }
		i=0; //NewStr count to zero
		j++;
		NewStr=""; //erase NewStr
	   }
	cm_entityString = FinalStr; //replace the original by the new altered one
	}
}

about the rest? is everything ok?

My main doubts...

HStr = cm_entityString;
is this the right way to copy a string? then HStr will have the same value of cm_entityString??

Tam = strlen(HStr);
is this the right way to get the lenght of a string? Tam is a number right?

ori = strstr(NewStr, "origin");
is this the right way to receive the position of the NewStr that have origin??? in this case the position of "o"
ori is a number or a pointer to the number that I want? or how can I get that number?

NewStr="";
is this the right way to empty a string?

any other stuff made wrong in my code?

thanks!
