[Scenario]

Hello again. I seem to be having an issue here with "format" and "SendClientMessage"... I have this:

pawn Код:

format(string, sizeof(string), "Welcome to {C2A2DA}Relentless Gaming{FF9900}, %s! Your account information has been loaded, continuing current life...", GetName(playerid));
SendClientMessage(playerid, COLOR_ORANGE, string);

I don't know what has changed, but it's begun acting up on me now even without the color embedding functions. It seems to be that the whole message isn't being sent to the client. I tried using "GetPlayerName" instead of my custom function, which didn't work either. If I format a string, it won't send! I can do this:

pawn Код:

SendClientMessage(playerid, COLOR_WHITE, "Sup dude?");

Although using "format" doesn't work. For those interested, this is the "GetName" function:

pawn Код:

stock GetName(playerid)
{
    new name[MAX_PLAYER_NAME];
    if(IsPlayerConnected(playerid)) GetPlayerName(playerid, name, sizeof(name));
    else name = "Disconnected";
    return name;
}

EDIT: I tried using "print" as well, didn't work.

EDIT 2: I'm currently running 0.3c RC4-2.

try to increase the max length of your string... try "new string[256]" if this doesn't work change it to 512

why? i consider it a waste of cells if he uses it to format the string.

Why? It's a message being sent to the client in the chat area; which has a maximum of 128 characters.

You probably have string[128] and from the line posted above looks to long for 128 string cell. Try what Exploit said to do, bump the string count up.

[Scenario]

I simply used this tool and I am around 118 characters. Of course, a player name is 24 characters but it's not only this message - it's anything...

Example:

pawn Код:

format(string, sizeof(string), "Hello, %s!", GetName(playerid));
SendClientMessage(playerid, COLOR_WHITE, string);

EDIT: This is the code which comes above the message.

pawn Код:

case 2:
        {
            if(!response)
            {
                SendClientMessage(playerid, COLOR_LIGHTRED, "Sorry, you must login to this account in order to play. Goodbye.");
                Kick(playerid);
            }
            else
            {
                new string[128], buffer[150];
                GetFromAccount(GetEscName(playerid), "Password", pStats[playerid][pPassword]);
                WP_Hash(buffer, sizeof(buffer), inputtext);
                if(!strcmp(buffer, pStats[playerid][pPassword], true))
                {
                    PlayerLogged[playerid] = 1;
                    LoadAccountVariables(playerid);

                    format(string, sizeof(string), "Welcome to {6EF83C}Relentless Gaming{FFAF00}, %s! Your account information has been loaded, continuing current life...", GetName(playerid));
                    SendClientMessage(playerid, COLOR_ORANGE, string);
                }
                else
                {
                    SendClientMessage(playerid, COLOR_LIGHTRED, "You have entered an incorrect password. As a security measure, you have been kicked!");
                    Kick(playerid);
                }
            }
        }

It is under "OnDialogResponse".

i think i know what the problem is ... happened to couple of times... just go to your GM and all FSes and change the return to 0 (return 0(at the end of the callback) in each of them...that should do it

I did have "return 1;" which should of been "return 0;", although it's still not working.

The actual server developer hopped on MSN and told me to try sending the same message with a command; which worked... Perhaps a 0.3c bug?
