Your message name is longer than 11 characters. Because of the way user mesages are stored in the engine, message names are limited to 11 chars plus the nul terminator. If you try to create a message longer than that, then you'll trash the next usermessage or message handler pointers. -- Philip Searle

For 2 days I've been playing around with a message system to replace the death message and gun/ammo pickup messages in my mod. I think I got it set up, with messages queuing to be displayed and such, but one problem has arisen... The game crashes when I make a message for it. I mean the server-client messages. I have dealt with this system twice before for radar and a timer but this one defies me. I have the message registered gmsgPerfectDarkMessage = REG_USER_MSG("PerfectDarkMessage", -1); i have an extern of it in the gamerules so I can call it there, i have it declared as a global int in player.cpp I have everything my old messages have. Then I go to trigger the message. 3 messages so I can test the queuing out MESSAGE_BEGIN(MSG_ALL, gmsgPerfectDarkMessage); WRITE_STRING("Dont fly strongbad"); MESSAGE_END(); MESSAGE_BEGIN(MSG_ALL, gmsgPerfectDarkMessage); WRITE_STRING("I worry about you"); MESSAGE_END(); MESSAGE_BEGIN(MSG_ALL, gmsgPerfectDarkMessage); WRITE_STRING("i can see the strings"); MESSAGE_END();
It then, because it cares, tells me "fatal eror" "tried to create a message with bogus message type (0)" Yeah, thanks HL, I Wubb J00 too.
This only occures when i fire off a message, because i tired commenting the 'dont fly strongbad' stuff. So, any ideas on why I am createing a message with a bogus message type?
