String Help.

[GangsterAngel]

U have a small problem.

 

im making a model preview on the player selection window.

like the "Build A Jedi" model preview.

 

i have a problem. i dont know how to get the left of '/'

to get the model name.

 

thats the only thing stopping my code from working .

 

for example if i have

 

"stormtrooper/default" as the 'Model' Cvar.

strrchr(model,'/') would give me '/default'

 

and i need to know what would return "stormtrooper/".

 

Help appreciated.

char *point = strrchr(model,'/');

point++; //advances to the character after the '/'.

point = '\0'; //sets the char to be the end of life special char.

 

//At this point, your 'model' should read "stormtrooper/". I beleive this is how the rest of the code strips the strings like.

That seems to be returning (null) , thanx anyway though.

[razorace]

What is returning NULL? point or Model?

[GangsterAngel]

point.

and model is the same as the "Model" cvar.

[razorace]

Point should be null, but model should have been truncated like you wanted.

[ensiform]

i believe he wants to see what model is not take out model.

[razorace]

Well, I told him who to do what he asked. Not sure exactly what his current problem is thou.

[GangsterAngel]

i have the skin name, i need the model name.

thats what i need, i need to get the modelname. but the code dosent seem to be working.

[razorace]

What is model outputing after my code?

[GangsterAngel]

same as the "Model" cvar.

 

stormtrooper/default

[razorace]

hmm, could have sworn that that worked. try poking around in the code a bit more. I'm sure it's in there somewhere.

[GangsterAngel]

Got it working.

 

//*******************************
	strcpy(modelStr,model);
	if ( ( skins = strchr( modelStr, '/' ) ) == NULL) {
		skins = "default";
	} else {
		*skins++ = 0;
	}
	strcpy(skin,skins);
//*******************************

Ah, my bad. I missed the pointer reference when setting the end of file character. IE my sample code should have been....

 

char *point = strrchr(model,'/');
point++; //advances to the character after the '/'.
*point = '\0'; //sets the char to be the end of life special char.'

Good job figuring it out.
