Ok, but I switched over to fread_word, which doesn't crash.
It used to look like this:
if (!str_cmp (word, "Mostkname"))
{
tmp = fread_string(fp);
strcpy(bfield_data.most_kills.name, tmp);
free_string(tmp);
fMatch = TRUE;
break;
}
if (!str_cmp (word, "Mostdname"))
{
tmp = fread_string(fp);
strcpy(bfield_data.most_deaths.name, tmp);
free_string(tmp);
fMatch = TRUE;
break;
}
I have switched to:
if (!str_cmp (word, "Mostkname"))
{
tmp = fread_word (fp);
strcpy(bfield_data.most_kills.name, tmp);
fMatch = TRUE;
break;
}
if (!str_cmp (word, "Mostdname"))
{
tmp = fread_word (fp);
strcpy(bfield_data.most_deaths.name, tmp);
fMatch = TRUE;
break;
}
