Thu 14 Feb 2008 04:37:42 AM UTC, comment #3: ok, changed it to use snprintf. For the memset vs strcpy, never thought of it really. As to the why those are needed, the 'showorders' is always active. So you can monitor the unit in question. When you deselect the unit, then you don't want to print the old string again. There are 2 of them needed, one is for your units, and the other one is for when you want to spy on the enemy AI units, and again, once you deselect them, we clear the string. (file #3825)	Bugs Buggy <buginator>
Tue 12 Feb 2008 07:26:33 PM UTC, comment #2: The remainder of this patch. It needs some changes IMO; e.g. instead of using memset(X, 0, sizeof(X)) you can use strcpy(X, ""). And the sprintf really should be replace by snprintf. More importantly though: Why do you do those memset(0)s at all (display.c) ? (file #3805)	Giel van Schijndel <muggenhor>
Tue 12 Feb 2008 07:16:54 PM UTC, SVN revision 3767: When selecting a droid (in debug mode) don't display the order and action numbers, instead display their textual representation; part of patch #977 by Buginator, slightly changed by me (wrapped the string-arrays in functions) (Browse SVN revision 3767)	Giel van Schijndel <muggenhor>
Tue 12 Feb 2008 06:02:15 AM UTC, original submission: This will show you the order & action of the selected unit, so you can see what it is doing. Helpful for debugging units that are doing seemingly strange things. This is a realtime display of their order & action, it is displayed after you enter the debug code of 'showorders'. The old method of clicking on the unit is also updated to show the actual order & action text instead of just the cryptic #. You just don't have to keep clicking on the unit anymore. Feedback is welcomed. :)	Bugs Buggy <buginator>
