Yeah, after changing the lines in modify.c to handle NULL messages
(part of the v1.1 changes) so that they return actually NULL, and not
just a message with a null char as the first character ...
The following line also needs to be changed in modify.c::string_add():
So that now when a player tries to send an empty message to another
player.. it just aborts.
}
}
else if (!d->connected && (PLR_FLAGGED(d->character, PLR_MAILING))) {
if ((terminator == 1) && *d->str) {
/* ^^^^^^^ line above is changed ^^^^^^ */
store_mail(d->mail_to, GET_IDNUM(d->character), *d->str);
SEND_TO_Q("Message sent!\r\n", d);
}
Have fun, and as always report errors or fixes to:
Michael Scott -- "Living in the Eye of the Hurricane."
FLAMES/COMMENTS to scottm@workcomm.net
Ps. All the patches on the ftp site have been updated as well as the
BUGFIX file, so that a new user who applies one of the current patches
wont have any of the reported errors.
