I had a similar problem whenI used SDK 2.0. I had the console spammed with
"ALERT pEnt != NULL @ cbase.cpp l.159" (or something similar).
I didn't find the cause of this but I hadn't modify the gamerules... So,
perhaps the
messages you become don't come from the GameRules class but from an other
function.
Just a possibility...

Subject: Re: [hlcoders] pEnt != NULL and driving me nuts
Well thanks goes to you all but the solution cruise posted worked for me.
I am not doing anything bot related.
Even after using the solution posted by cruise everytime i try to call
UTIL_PlayerByIndex() or the changed one UTIL_CBasePlayerByIndex()
i still get the annoying ALERT pEnt != NULL. I find this very disturbing and
although the original problem is solved these statements still are flowing
around.
All other calls to UTIL_PlayerByIndex() through the sdk work without fail
giving no ALERTS spewing into the console. But anytime i try to do it from
my modified gamerules it gives one for every player not connected so if i
have a 8 player game it'll throw 7 at me each time a player is killed, i
connect or some other function gets called that invokes the RecountTeams()
function.
I'm starting to think maybe i did something a long time ago that was naughty
and never bothered with these alerts before.
As a last question could someone maybe please explain to me why
for(int i = 1; i < gpGlobals->maxClients; i++)
{
CBasePlayer *plr = UTIL_PlayerByIndex(i);
if( plr && plr->IsPlayer() && plr->IsAlive() )
{
}
}
would generate an ALERT pEnt!=NULL console statement. the alert comes from
cbase.h or .cpp can't remember but its in a debug statement.
What actually does pEnt != NULL mean anyway?
thanks again
