#41 Say command Errors

[Anonymous]

Admin_say generates an error if the string is deemed to be too large.

L 03/20/2001 - 23:22:43: [ADMIN] DEBUG: Match found on command admin_say for plugin E:\games\hlserver\cstrike\dlls\plugin_base.amx / function 20
L 03/20/2001 - 23:22:43: [ADMIN] ERROR: AMX string too large. Max size 100, is 144.
L 03/20/2001 - 23:22:43: [ADMIN] ERROR: Plugin E:\games\hlserver\cstrike\dlls\plugin_base.amx returned error 10 when executing command admin_say

Possibly a sensible restriction but it could be better handled if so and a message of warning for those unfamiliar with admin might be nice. :-)

Admin_csay is still able to crash the users to teh desktop. It should be fairly easy to handle this by introducing a check on the strlen of teh incoming text.

How would you rather have it handled?

And as far as centersay, fixed already in another bug
report. A little more complicated than a strlen(), but
fixed anyways. =P

Admin_psay does not work if the message strign is longer than 100 chars. I think longer message length woudl be more useful, say 200.

Admin_gag displays no notification on activation.

admin_noclip reports being turned on even if 1 or on parameter is missed off, it is not infact on and appears to not work well is several people are attempting to use it at once.

admin_noclip and admin_godmode both had that problem - it
was fixed in another bug report.

And I want to second the request for 200 chars - 100 is
annoying

okay folks there is a reason for that they have to limit the
size some where or the server could be attacked also if you
have really big things like that ( make the biggest possible
name) the setinfo information gets screwed up on the server
this happens to non admin-mod servers asweel.

i ahve found a variation of this bug..using admin_psay with
a message longer than 192 bytes crashed hlds and causes a
hlds process restart.
