RE: [hlcoders] Map gametype filter

[Mark Chandler]

In c++ you cant use == when comparing strings *because it will compare a
pointer instead of the string for vars. Use strcmp so it would be something
like this:


    if (!strcmp(mapName ,"dm_")) // Classic SourceForts CTF
    {
           CreateGameRulesObject( "C_HL2MPRules" );
    }
    else if (!strcmp(mapName, "ctf_")) // Core Run map
    {
           CreateGameRulesObject( "C_CTFRules" );
    }
    else if (!strcmp(mapName, "mbs_")) // Conquest map
    {
           CreateGameRulesObject( "C_MBSRules" );
    }

Thanks for your help. However I'm having some problems, namely:

void C_World::InstallGameRules()
{
        char mapN[64];
        V_FileBase( engine->GetLevelName( ), mapN, 64 );

        string  mapName = mapN;

    mapName = mapName.substr( 0, 3 );

    if (mapName == "dm_") // Classic SourceForts CTF
    {
           CreateGameRulesObject( "C_HL2MPRules" );
    }
    else if (mapName == "ctf_") // Core Run map
    {
           CreateGameRulesObject( "C_CTFRules" );
    }
    else if (mapName == "mbs_") // Conquest map
    {
           CreateGameRulesObject( "C_MBSRules" );
    }
    else
           CreateGameRulesObject( "C_HL2MPRules" );
}

I use following code, yet it gives me errors:

error C3861: 'CreateGameRulesObject': identifier not found

And some warning about malloc redefinition. I use #include <string> and
using std::string; .
