if you compile a plugin with this code (also in the debugger)

DLLEXPORT void SSGM_GameOver_Hook()
{
	char MVP[32];
	sprintf(MVP,"%s",The_Game()->MVPName); //MVP = 0x0013ec8c ""
	if (strlen((const char *)MVP) <= 1)
	{
		sprintf(MVP,"%s","NULL");
	}
	printf("[game_end] %s %u %u %u %d %s\n",Data->CurrMap,The_Game()->GameDuration_Seconds,The_Game()->WinType,The_Game()->WinnerID,Get_Team_Score(The_Game()->WinnerID),MVP);
}

it will error at the printf..
this is because:
when there are no players ingame there is no MVP.
therefore The_Game()->MVPName is...

Dante

reading the memory space of where the "mvp name" is supposed to be

MVP = 0x0013ec8c ""
First-chance exception at 0x0238dbc6 (Plugin.dll) in server.dat: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x40b38800

Fix for v4.0 please Very Happy

TheGame is actually stuff in renegade it self, and we won't fix this, you should simply check wether there are players.

^^ that seems rather logical to me. First check if something exist before requesting it. That can't be that hard.

sprintf(MVP,"%S", (const wchar_t *)The_Game()->MVPName);

There's nothing wrong with it, garbage in, garbage out.

if you take out the printf it doesnt crash.

Its just that MVPName is supposed to be null. Becuase there was no mvp. But instead its...

Dante

reading the memory space of where the "mvp name" is supposed to be.

No, actually it's a WideStringClass and cannot be null.

It's crashing at the printf because Data->CurrMap is an std::string. Not a C string.

char string[1000];
sprintf(string,"MESSAGE Example: Text String From Object %d.",Get_ID(obj));
Console_Input(string);

Don't use printf to print text, do something like that instead.

Actually I'm sending it to my website with a socket ^^
printf was just there to show me where its crashing...
it crashes with the printf or Thinngy.Send

but If I remove the MVPName it works fine.
MVPName is just null.. but its not null.... Like Dante Said.
So u cant check to see if its null.

Never even thought to check if it existed, it works the same as long as you type MESSAGE before your message.
