from the ascii player stuff 2.0 in db.c (untouched i think.)
-------------------------------------------------
int rec_count = 0, i;
FBFILE *plr_index;
char index_name[40], line[256], bits[64];
char arg2[80];
sprintf(index_name, "%s", PLR_INDEX_FILE);
if(!(plr_index = fbopen(index_name, FB_READ))) {
top_of_p_table = -1;
log("No player index file! First new char will be IMP!");
return;
}
/* count the number of players in the index */
while(fbgetline(plr_index, line))
if(*line != '~')
rec_count++; <--- 461
fbrewind(plr_index);
if(rec_count == 0) {
player_table = NULL;
top_of_p_file = top_of_p_table = -1;
return;
}
CREATE(player_table, struct player_index_element, rec_count);
for(i = 0; i < rec_count; i++) {
fbgetline(plr_index, line);
sscanf(line, "%ld %s %d %s %d", &player_table[i].id, arg2,
&player_table[i].level, bits, (int *)&player_table[i].last);
CREATE(player_table[i].name, char, strlen(arg2) + 1);
strcpy(player_table[i].name, arg2);
player_table[i].flags = asciiflag_conv(bits);
top_idnum = MAX(top_idnum, player_table[i].id);
}
fbclose(plr_index);
top_of_p_file = top_of_p_table = i - 1;
}
------------------------------------------------------------------
And this seem to not like more then one character in the player
index.
Seems to be something wrong as it counts the players in index...
in diskio.c (ascii 2.0 stuff, havent touched it either)
------------------------------------------------------------------
int fbgetline(FBFILE *fbfl, char *line)
{
char *r = fbfl->ptr, *w = line;
if(!fbfl || !line || !*fbfl->ptr)
return FALSE;
for(; *r && *r != '\n' && r <= fbfl->buf + fbfl->size; r++) <- 23
*(w++) = *r;
while(*r == '\r' || *r == '\n')
r++;
*w = '\0';
if(r > fbfl->buf + fbfl->size)
return FALSE;
else {
fbfl->ptr = r;
return TRUE;
}
}
------------------------------------------------------------------
Gdb info can be found in some of the earlier msgs...
It points to line 461 in db.c and 23 in diskio.c
shrug...
