Short unsigned problem #457073 12/23/15 09:10 12/23/15 09:10

Anyone got any ideas? EDIT: I just noticed that the manual shows short range as "0 to 65535", I guess its always unsigned. I'll try to unsign my pos (subtracting) and store it, then sign upon retrieval, but I've got to find the exact middle value, I guess... Last edited by EpsiloN; 12/23/15 09:27.

Code: function unsign_short(x) { return x + 32768; } function sign_short( short x ) { return x - 32768; } Here's the problem Manual says: Quote: short - 2 bytes - 0 to 65535 And, it also says: Quote: Signed or unsigned variables In lite-C, var, float, double, long and int variables are always signed, and pointers, char and short are always unsigned, according to the normal way they are used. The signed and unsigned variable modifiers are accepted, but have no effect. Extensive Multiplayer tutorial: http://mesetts.com/index.php?page=201

If I cheat it, it works: Code: ENTITY* playerEnt = ent_createlocal("bot2.mdl" , posVector , NULL ); playerEntity( playerEnt ); Talk about bugs I'm feeling desperate now...

The manual states, that functions should run on server only, and I based my whole MP Tutorial on that part... I even checked the value (it was 0!) After I developed most of the gameplay, I realized I was shooting two bullets at the same time from one gun. After further checking (I disabled all client shooting init) it was still shooting one bullet, and the bullet even got the local collision of the server's bullet. I mean, an ent_createlocal-ly created bullet, that SHOULD NOT exist on the server was hitting an entity that existed ONLY on the server Talk about bugs... I'm now fighting to make a full system out of ent_createlocals and all structs. I'll try to avoid using any of the built in stuff, except send_data_to I even made a custom Collision system for this project hahah... But, at least I'm not rendering the screen by myself, yet Anyway, I'm gonna check the createlocal again, if its attaching a function now, but I guess there is something wrong with how the ent_create and ent_createlocal works with Multiplayer... EDIT* I don't know if this sounds stupid, but is it possible, with all my sys_malloc functions, that I'm assigning something to dplay_localfunction by accident, by expanding my struct pointer more than it really is in memory? Just a thought... Last edited by EpsiloN; 12/23/15 19:44. Extensive Multiplayer tutorial: http://mesetts.com/index.php?page=201
