Hi,

i didn´t believe it till i tried. I experienced different errors since my last update to 7.84 Com. When creating entitys with enet_ent_create i sometimes got an SYS Error. Nothing worked. Now i tried my Villagers Project which worked perfectly in 7.82 and a error happended that never should.

So i decided to uninstall 7.84 and install 7.82 again. And what happended?

Right! It worked perfectly.

Dont know what this erros causes but there must be a bug between ANet and 7.84.

Someone else experienced this?

I'm already looking into that.

Thanks for the report!

Seems you allready know there's the bug, but we can confirm that we had problems here as well.

Have you checked new function names? BoH_Havoc mentioned that it seems A7.84 features new functions that have exactly the same names as some ANet functions.

Might be something else entirely though...

Germanunkol is right. One http function of gamestudio has exactly the same name as one of ANet. Though this will be changed in a higher gamestudio version.

But I think that there are also other problems so I'm taking a closer look to it currently.

Yeah there definetly is. How i told you.

I can tell you the problem more closer:

A chat.

In this chatroom with 7.82 there is the text.

Player "name" joined.
Name: hi
and so on..

With 7.84 there´s just a

n
p
a

Any letters. The player type in chat message with enter and send the whole string to the clients which recieve the string and copy it into the chat strings. I couldnt figure out what happended. Im just happy to still have 7.82. The only problem with 7.82 is that the great CSM Shadow sample dont work.

Hope you can fix it. Can´t Conitec help you with this problem? THey should know what they changed that maybe could create that errors.

Good news: I know what the problem is. This problem occurs because the engine switched to UNICODE strings instead of the old ASCII strings. This causes the problem you currently have.
I have no clue how conitec ment to work with the new strings in external languages so I have to wait for an answer from them. I will contact you when the problem is solved.

alright thats great. Whyever they changed that i think it´s not necessary but ok ^^

The current ANET doesn't work for me either, there is something wrong with strings. But apparently only in ANET, my own plugin also uses ASCII strings and there's nothing changed. The engine is not "switched to Unicode"...

The engine switched to unicode for sure, just look to the beta page.

I guess your plugin only uses the engine str_ functions and not converting all strings to char arrays and using the normal strcpy etc. functions. Using the normal str_ functions is not possible in ANet.

Good. Dou you already know when the bugs will be fixed and we can use the new version?
