setPlayerNameString about cod4x_server

[IceNinjaman]

I am investigating it.

[PureTryOut]

Aah I thought this was an issue in some of my own gsc code, clearly not. Thanks for reporting this

(so yes this is reproduceable, a Linux server in my case)

[IceNinjaman]

Can somebody explain please what this function is supposed to do and how its getting used? I have no glue what's up with that script method.

[florczakraf]

I think it worked a little bit like this:

hud setText(player.name);

where hud is given hud we want to chage and player is player entity. I said a little because I'm pretty sure it worked when you had hud.label set to string that included &&1 and when you used setPlayerNameString it interpolated that string with player's name. Afair it's not possible to use setValue with strings. @PureTryOut please correct me if I'm wrong.

If only I knew (I don't script stuff, I just use the scripts ;)), I'm just saying I have this problem as well, with a pretty much stock CoD4X server.

Alright, the screenshot I posted is from stock CoD4x as well.

I'm using "SetText" - always worked but may cause crash because of "string index overflow" or smth like that.

I am almost certain it is a client side issue. Client accessing the shortname it shouldn't do.

[IceNinjaman]

Well it is fixed for now but had some issues. Playernames will truncate to 15 chars.

Has to be removed when upgrade to version 16.x is released.

This build fails. https://travis-ci.org/D4edalus/CoD4x_Server
You have to fix your build script because it returns wrong code on compilation errors.

(Ninja, maybe not the time to mention it, but this stuff is why everyone should have their PR's reviewed, even you, so we're sure it always works for everyone, on every platform)

Fails to compile for me as well, on Linux.

[IceNinjaman]

Should be fine now as we have version 16.0
