Country/Capitals

Description:
This is a simple plugin that I built for my Jailbreak server, since I havent found something similar I am posting it here. Speaking about countries and capitals, you guys should know what this plugin does.


Natives & Usage:

PHP Code:

//Generates a random country and its capital.
//Param1: String to store Country Name in.
//Param2: String Length.
//Param3: String to store Capital Name in.
//Param4: String Length.
//Return: 1 on success, 0 otherwise.
native get_random_capital(szCountry[], iLen1, szCapital[], iLen2)

//Gives capital name for a given Country name (Country name must be complete)
//Param1: Country Name (case insensitive).
//Param2: String to store Capital Name in (If country name is correct).
//Param3: String Length.
//Return: 1 if country name found, 0 otherwise.
native get_capital_name(const szCountry[], szCapital[], iLen)

//Gives country name for a given Capital name (complete name or part of it)
//Param1: Capital Name (case insensitive).
//Param2: String to store Country Name in (If capital name is correct).
//Param3: String Length.
//Return: -1 if Param1 is less than 3 chars, 1 if capital name found, 0 otherwise.
native get_country_name(const szCapital[], szCountry[], iLen) 


How to use:
If you are interested in using this, put the plugin in your server, also download capitals.inc and put it in your includes folder.
If you don't know how to use natives, or you faced some problems, just write it down here and I'll try to do my best!

Do your native still need to use geoip module?

It doesn't retrieve player's Country/Capital, it just retrieves Countries/Capitals from g_CountryCapitals[][][] array.

As edon said, it doesnt. This is a simple plugin which provides Capital names for each Country (Almost all the countries of the world).

You should take a look on some tutotirals on how to use natives. Your code is very bad. Hardcoding everything inside it is also bad.

[TheWhitesmith]

So what do you suggest? Loading Capital names from .txt file? And please let me know what's wrong in my code.

As deep as I can imagine, you can use this for a "Find the capital city" game.

Yup, that's why I've made this plugin for my Jailbreak server.

Well, I did.

PHP Code:

//Generates a random country and its capital. 
//Gives capital name for a given Country name (Country name must be complete) 
//Gives country name for a given Capital name (complete name or part of it)
