hey everyone, i'm convinced that this problem is only
hanging around to piss me off... i've been doing some
work on the way our remort system works, and i added
some new races to the race_table and pc_race_table...
i updated the MAX_PC_RACE counter and it's all working
fine, except for one little bitty thing that just
looks ugly... I found that the normal 6 character
who_name in the pc_race_table wouldn't let me display
enough of a race name in the who list for my own
comfort, so i extended it to a 10 letter who_name... i
changed the size of it in the pc_race_type in merc.h,
and in act_info.c i changed the do_who and do_whois
functions to have a %3s %10s %s instead of %3s %6s %s
for the section of level/race/class in the who list...
so i reboot the thing, and almost all my races display
flawlessly, but once it gets down to the last 2 races,
on my dragons (2nd to the last pc_race), it's tacking
a \n onto the who_name when it displays (where it's
pulling this from i have no idea, i ran gdb and
stepped through do_whois and do_who and when i tell it
to print the pc_race_table[wch->race].who_name, it
displays fine, no \n, when it combines it all into the
buf variable, it's got a \n), so they display like
this:
<310 Dragon
IMP> Velveeta blahblahtitlehere.
And for my last race in the table, where it should be
saying YoungBlood, which is the who_name for that
chunk of race, it's chopping it down to 9 char's
instead of 10, so it displays as such:
<310 YoungBloo IMP> Velveeta blahblahtitlehere.
now, there are 5 other races who's who_names display
flawlessly, and i've double-checked the length of all
of them in const.c and they're all identical length,
so why they're displaying this way i have no idea, i'm
hoping one of you do :D
wavewave
Vel.
