Useful Function Thread (Frequently updated)

Also something you must add before launching the next version, the 32 player server said there were 0 players, when I entered I saw a guy, and I killed him, also, the same thing happened on the 0.1 test server, the same guy, but he disappeared.IDK maybe he entered after me in the server.

999 ping usually means that the mod failed to ping the server (I have to change that 999 to something else). The only "official" servers are those named "vaultmp 0.1a testserver", you should be able to properly ping them

BTW, the next revision will come with the updated version of PAWN. Scripters may want to check this: https://www.compuphase.com/pawn/pawnhistory.htm

it's 16 bit right? most likely. change it to 65535

TBH, I wouldn't even wanna move to the new PAWN they're currently on. They've removed so many great things like enumerators. Not really sure it if it's true but I'd recommend using the PAWN version that was made about 5 - 3 years ago.

It's not that much updated, you can really make a enum using 2 (3?) different ways now, all you have to do is get the enum finished, the easiest way would be to just replace enum with const and there you go, no need to change the main variable

**Dantiko** · 08-31-2011, 05:10 PM

Hm, will there be save data(server side)?

No, you will need to script that using the file functions. I hope to release a simple file writer soon.

Code :

	#define MAX_PLAYER_NAME 24 // 24 Characters, I don't know the limit yet...
#endif
stock ReturnPlayerName(clientid)
{
	new name[MAX_PLAYER_NAME];

Would be better so store it in a global variable and check the name while connecting
