Re: [hlcoders] string to #define
Yes! I had given up on this idea, but I guess I didn't imagine it after all :) This is exactly what I was thinking of. Thanks for finding this Mugsy From: Pat Magnan [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [hlcoders] string to #define Date: Tue, 28 May 2002 22:21:35 -0500 Hey Mugsy: Did you ever figure this out? I was browsing the comp.lang.c newsgroup FAQ (ok, somebody needs a life :P), and found this: Question 11.17 I'm trying to use the ANSI ``stringizing'' preprocessing operator `#' to insert the value of a symbolic constant into a message, but it keeps stringizing the macro's name rather than its value. - You can use something like the following two-step procedure to force a macro to be expanded as well as stringized: #define Str(x) #x #define Xstr(x) Str(x) #define OP plus char *opname = Xstr(OP); This code sets opname to plus rather than OP. An equivalent circumlocution is necessary with the token-pasting operator ## when the values (rather than the names) of two macros are to be concatenated. References: ANSI Sec. 3.8.3.2, Sec. 3.8.3.5 example ISO Sec. 6.8.3.2, Sec. 6.8.3.5 http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/C-faq/q11.17.html I think you were trying to get the preprocessor to expand and then 'stringize' your #define'd constant, passing it's value as the arg to your func, which is what that code appears to do.

Re: [hlcoders] string to #define
That still does a O(n) search with string compares.

okay then
int iGetIdForString(char *cmp_string)
{
weaponchar_id_t *comp_block;
int num = 0;
while((comp_block = WeaponCodes[num++]) != NULL)
{
if(strcmp(cmp_string,comp_block-cStringId) == 0)
return comp_block-iId;

return -1;
}
that should do it...

well with the string array you could just do like
char *cGetStringForId(int iId)
{
weaponchar_id_t *comp_block;
int num = 0;
while((comp_block = WeaponCodes[num++]) != NULL)
{
if(comp_block-iId == iId)
return comp_block-cStringId;
}
return NULL;// or return or whatever u want
}
should give you an idea of what i mean by a list array

hmm
a possible idea could be a string table maybe
an array of string/code structs, like
typedef struct
{
char cStringId[256];
int iId;
}weaponchar_id_t;
then you could perhaps have like
weaponchar_id_t WeaponCodes[] = {
{ WEAPON_GARAND,2 },
{ WEAPON_1911, 1},
NULL,
// etc
};
then have a support function or two to grab the string/int and
compare
in
this array
this could be more work, who knows, but here it looks a bit easier
to
just
reference similar items in an array

[hlcoders] string to #define
This is more general C++, but its for a HL mod so.. If I have a string, is there a way to convert it to integer with a previously enumerated value? eg, #define WEAPON_GARAND 2 then if I read in a string, and it happens to be WEAPON_GARAND can I know that that symbol is defined as 2? Obviously without doing an enormous if/else strcmp block..

Re: [hlcoders] string to #define
It doesnt have to be a define, it can be an enumerated variable. ( since
#define names would probably be tossed in a compiled version )
enum
{
WEAPON_GARAND = 2
};

Re: [hlcoders] Network metering source code
Hey Charlie, Are your players overflowing all the time? at random times or at one specific point in the game? Unless youre doing some really bad loops with messages being sent inside them, or youre sending big hunks of data, you shouldnt have to change the networking.. Especially with all the client stuff I know you're doing. Make sure you've fixed the bug with the voice manager that causes overflows. You should comment out the calls to UpdateMasks() in CVoiceGameMgr::ClientCommand. Also, I made a metamod dll that counts user messages. Its very basic, but if you want it gimme a shout. Mugsy From: Charlie Cleveland [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [hlcoders] Network metering source code Date: Fri, 19 Apr 2002 10:54:38 -0400 Hello everyone, In working on Natural Selection, I've encountered problems with players overflowing. Yahn tells me that this is because NS is sending too much reliable data to a player at once, causing the player to be disconnected. He also mentions that due to the vagaries of different mods and network data usage, the best solution is probably meter the network data, ie, network messages should be queued up, and only sent out a fixed rate, to prevent overflowage. I wrote a general purpose solution and it occurs to me that that other mods could benefit from it. http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/uploads/cgc-NetworkMeter.zip The main code is NetworkMeter.* and the hooks to the HL source are explained in NetworkMeterMisc.cpp. I'm still experimenting with values, but right now I have the data rate set to 1000 bytes per second, and we're seeing way less overflows, though we may still be seeing some. If this value is set very low, you'll see delays when joining teams, receiving your weapons list, etc. (but everything should still work). Feel free to use this code however you like. May your players never overflow again! -Charlie Charlie Cleveland Game programmer and designer http://www.natural-selection.org [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders _ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
