print and \n - ledzep - 15.08.2009

I was just wondering why every time I use print, SA:MP automatically assumes I want to make a new line. Shouldn't new lines be determined only by using \n?

Say I want to do something like:

print("loading something");
* one second passes
print(".");
* one second passes
print(".");
* one second passes
print(".");
* task finishes
print("done (x amount loaded, in x amount time)");

so in the end it would look like this:

Код:

loading something...done (x amount loaded, in x amount time)

but if I were to do this is it would look like:

Код:

loading something
.
.
.
done (x amount loaded, in x amount time)

Thats normal, you could format strings though and send them using printf once everything is loaded

The problem with that is it will look like the script is frozen.

It's possible to do a new print function in a plugin, using the c printf function, which doesn't happend a newline character to the string. Smething like that should work:

Код:

static cell AMX_NATIVE_CALL n_print2(AMX *a, cell *p)
{
  const char *s;
  amx_StrParam(a, p[1], s);
  printf(s);
  return true;
}

Problem: this basic code will not write into the server_log.txt, it is fixable but 'illegal'..

I was thinking/hoping it could be done through a plugin. I myself have no clue where to start with making a plugin, but I found the tutorial.

As for it printing into the log, I don't really care since I would be using it for making a visual representation of loading things as explained in my first post.

I'll try compiling that code you posted. It will be a good learning experience I guess.

Thanks a bunch.
