[404UserNotFound]

redwerewolf recently did something to his Chat Processor that bypasses the name size buffer thingme or something. Go check that out, that may be a better lead. He's told me what he did like, twice, but I still can't rightly remember the entirety of what he said (thank you mary jane)

Thanks, that new buffer size is great.

However, I still am trying to convert to colour codes instead to maximize use like so:

PHP Code:

public Action CP_OnChatMessage(int& iAuthor, ArrayList hRecipients, char[] sFlagString, char[] sName, char[] sMessage, bool& bProcessColours, bool& bRemoveColours)
{
    if(!IsValidClient(iAuthor))
    {
        return Plugin_Continue;
    }
    
    Format(sName, MAXLENGTH_NAME, " ");
    
    if(g_iTagFlags[iAuthor] & TAG_LOADED && g_iTagFlags[iAuthor] & TAG_SHOWCUSTOM)
    {
        char sAuthorName[MAX_NAME_LENGTH];
        GetClientName(iAuthor, sAuthorName, sizeof(sAuthorName));
    
        Format(sName, MAXLENGTH_NAME, "%s{default}[%s{default}] ", sName, g_sTagFormatString[iAuthor]);
        
        CProcessVariables(sName, MAXLENGTH_NAME);
        
        if(strlen(sName) + 9 + strlen(sAuthorName) > MAXLENGTH_NAME)
        {
            if(sMessage[0] != '!' && sMessage[0] != '/')
            {
                RequestFrame(FrameRequestCallback_NameSizeError, iAuthor);
            }
            
            return Plugin_Stop;
        }
    }
    
    switch(GetClientTeam(iAuthor))
    {
        case 2:
        {
            Format(sName, MAXLENGTH_NAME, "%s{yellow}%N", sName, iAuthor);
        }
        
        case 3:
        {
            Format(sName, MAXLENGTH_NAME, "%s{blue}%N", sName, iAuthor);
        }
        
        default:
        {
            Format(sName, MAXLENGTH_NAME, "%s{default}%N", sName, iAuthor);
        }
    }
    
    Format(sMessage, MAXLENGTH_MESSAGE, "{default}%s", sMessage);
    
    CProcessVariables(sName, MAXLENGTH_NAME);
    CProcessVariables(sMessage, MAXLENGTH_MESSAGE);
    
    bProcessColours = false;
    
    return Plugin_Changed;
} 


I'm checking if their tag is set to be shown and if so:
- Format name with tag prefix
- Convert the colour tags to colour codes (each code max length of 4)
- Check if the length of the name string, author name, plus the addition space required for the name colouring exceeds the buffer size.

I do this same check when setting the tag in-game. But I get some weird results.

PHP Code:

char sArg[MAX_UNPROCESSED_LENGTH];
        GetCmdArgString(sArg, sizeof(sArg));
        
        char sTemp[MAX_UNPROCESSED_LENGTH];
        Format(sTemp, sizeof(sTemp), sArg);
        CProcessVariables(sTemp, sizeof(sTemp));
        
        PrintToChat(iClient, "Size: %d", strlen(sTemp));
        PrintToConsole(iClient, "String: %s", sTemp);
        
        // MAX_UNPROCESSED_LENGTH = 128
        // MAX_FORMAT_LENGTH = 64
        // MAX_TAG_LENGTH = 16
        // {blue}H{red}e{orchid}y{blue}H{red}e{orchid}y{blue}H{red}e{orchid}y{blue}H{red}e{orchid}y{blue}H{red}e{orchid}y{blue}Hey        Length: 119
        // 0x24H0x34e0x35y0x24H0x34e0x35y0x24H0x34e0x35y0x24H0x34e0x35y0x24H0x34e0x35y0x24Hey        Length: 82 (Printed Length = 34) ??
        
        if(strlen(sTemp) > MAX_FORMAT_LENGTH)
        {
            ReplyToCommand(iClient, "[%s] Error, entered tag format exceeds character limit. (Including colour tags)", PREFIX);
        
            return Plugin_Handled;
        }
        
        if(GetFormatTrueLength(sArg, sizeof(sArg)) > MAX_TAG_LENGTH)
        {
            ReplyToCommand(iClient, "[%s] Error, entered tag format exceeds character limit. (Excluding colour tags)", PREFIX);
        
            return Plugin_Handled;
        } 


I'm checking if the format, when processed, exceeds a limit. And if when colours are removed, it exceeds the visible character limit (To keep chat legible).

Why is the printed length 34 when it exceeds the limit specified?

EDIT: I know those codes aren't right, I just know they can be 4 chars long

I did some experimenting with the 82 length line. I removed all the numbers (because I had a feeling it was the case) but kept the "x" from the codes.

xHxexyxHxexyxHxexyxHxexyxHxexyxHey = 34 chars.

I don't know why it's not handling it properly when the string is over the limit though

Why is that, though? I printed the string in the console to see if it would print the codes but all I got was something like "{{}".

This is stopping me from finishing the plugin and its frustrating af.

(Just to clarify. I use the max length of 64 so it gives plenty of room for max name length and other formatting later on)

Pushed a new update, see if it affects anything and be sure to return Plugin_Handled in the pre-forward just to make sure the Chat-Processor itself is handling the message outputs.

PHP Code:

#define MAX_TAG_LENGTH            16
#define MAX_PROCESSED_LENGTH    MAX_TAG_LENGTH * 2
#define MAX_UNPROCESSED_LENGTH    MAX_TAG_LENGTH + (MAX_TAG_LENGTH * 9) 


Just used these.
