Ok. A %d basically stands for an integer, not a string of characters. Also,
the GET_CLASS(ch) macro returns a number which corresponds to a player's class,
instead of returning the actual name of the class. That is why you get a number
instead of an actual string of characters. To work out which number corresponds
to which class, look at the defines in structs.h. This should fix it for you:
/* Start code here */
sprintf(buf + strlen(buf), "Class: ");
switch(GET_CLASS(ch)) {
case CLASS_MAGIC_USER:
sprintf(buf + strlen(buf), "Magic User\r\n");
break;
case CLASS_CLERIC:
sprintf(buf + strlen(buf), "Cleric\r\n");
break;
case CLASS_THIEF:
sprintf(buf + strlen(buf), "Thief\r\n");
break;
case CLASS_WARRIOR:
sprintf(buf + strlen(buf), "Warrior\r\n");
break;
default:
log("Invalid class parsed to do_score.");
break;
}
/* End code */
That should fix your problem. Remember, whenever you use sprintf() you are
overwriting
whatever was in buf beforehand. To append to buf, use sprintf(buf +
strlen(buf), "Blah").
Just watch that with your remort thing. As with your GET_NAME(ch) macro,
make sure that
you use %s instead of %d, because GET_NAME(ch) actually refers to a string,
not an integer
like GET_CLASS(ch). If it still doesn't work, send me a copy of your
GET_NAME macro.
