[code] if( argument[0] == '\0' ) argument = strdup( (const char*)ch->dest_buf );[/code] It Really should be something like for most functions.. [code] if( argument[0] == '\0' ) { if( !ch->dest_buf ) { send_to_char( "You gotta give me something to go off of.\r\n", ch ); return; } argument = (const char *) ch->dest_buf; }[/code] It's calling upon a null argument which in terms goes down in https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/force-skills-5011/&p=24395#p24395 Thu, 1 Jan 2026 15:58:55 CST SWFOTE FUSS nobody@example.com (Elwood) https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/void-nannygetnewrace----commc-5008/&p=24374#p24374 Yea guess thats what makes it work correctly :P https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/void-nannygetnewrace----commc-5008/&p=24374#p24374 Thu, 13 Mar 2025 07:08:50 CDT SWFOTE FUSS nobody@example.com (Elwood) https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/void-nannygetnewrace----commc-5008/&p=24373#p24373 Forgive me, but am I wrong or is the only change this addition you're talking about making?

This was due to the Diku data not using proper UTF-8 characters for their names and cities etc. It just so happens that the crude replacement ended up triggering a background color code that didn't exist before FUSS updated the color parser. Relative easy fix but it leads to another issue that probably needs to be addressed for proper UTF-8 support all around. https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/color-in-credits-4985/&p=24296#p24296 Sun, 5 Jan 2025 01:21:49 CST SWFOTE FUSS nobody@example.com (Samson) https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/compiler-issues-4982/&p=24289#p24289 for example i changed [code] if( time_to_start > 1 ) { snprintf( buf1, MAX_INPUT_LENGTH, "&WThe Killing Fields are open to top_levels &R%d &Wthru &R%d\r\n", lo_lim, hi_lim ); snprintf( buf1 + strlen( buf1 ), ( MAX_INPUT_LENGTH - strlen( buf1 ) ), "%s%d &Whours to start\r\n", buf1, time_to_start ); snprintf( buf1 + strlen( buf1 ), ( MAX_INPUT_LENGTH - strlen( buf1 ) ), "%s\r\nType &Rarena &Wto enter.\r\n", buf1 ); snprintf( https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/compiler-issues-4982/&p=24289#p24289 Sat, 4 Jan 2025 19:48:47 CST SWFOTE FUSS nobody@example.com (Remcon) https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/compiler-issues-4982/&p=24288#p24288 its because they are putting the string into itself, just remove the %s and the buf its adding since its already doing that when it does the buf1 + strlen( buf1 ), ( MAX_INPUT_LENGTH - strlen( buf1 ) ). its about like its double copying it the way it is looking anyways lol. could also just use mudstrlcat for the strings its copying. https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/compiler-issues-4982/&p=24288#p24288 Sat, 4 Jan 2025 19:41:36 CST SWFOTE FUSS nobody@example.com (Remcon) https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/compiler-issues-4982/&p=24287#p24287 Yep.
