How can I detect when gameplay is no longer pending in the FDS? I have some custom scripts which work fine in LAN mode etc, but in the FDS they crash because they use Get_Shield_Type() on an obj while gameplay is still pending, which seems to cause it to crash.

If ssaow server:

if (Is_Gameplay_Permitted())
{
std::string gameplay;
StrFormat2(gameplay,"Gameplay is permitted");
FDSMessage(gameplay,"_GENERAL");
}

that would work i think and also log it in ssaowlog.

Yeah, thanks, was looking for something with pending in the name Razz

It still does not work if the FDS is set to 1 player (since it assumes that means its NOT pending, but still causes the crash), but on player counts above 1 it works fine Smile

Hmm... another problem... for some reason Get_Shield_Type seems to crash the FDS no matter when you use it... does this command not work in the FDS for some reason?

strcpy_s ( defaultShieldType, sizeof( defaultShieldType ), Get_Shield_Type ( obj ) );

It works if you play LAN or host through Renegade, but it crashes the FDS unless I comment out that line...
