How to convert dvar_t* to string? I wanted to change something by reading dvars in source of IW4M

Problem is reading dvars and return value like ' return getDvar("version"); '

tried dvar_t and dvar_value_t. i get some weird errors... so i need dvar reading and returning data as char*

'return' : cannot convert from 'const char *' to 'char *'

 

ps. i am completely noob at all and dont know anything about c

Do want to change a dvar, or just access it?

 

Did you mean something like this

Access enough

yes and custom dvars... (i think i can change text between ""s)

Well can't you just type the dvar in the console? If you want to make dvars, you can just use a mod.

for example of using this function

generate new optimized config for clients (by reading sys_* dvars)

make a plugin and read dvars send to server, know ppl cheating

whateveryouwant etc etc

 

just need help about this Visual C saying its not a value its a dvar_t* how can i get dvar's value in M source?

dvar->current.string;

Of course dvar should be a valid pointer to a dvar

dvar->current.string;

Of course dvar should be a valid pointer to a dvar

Oh thanks a lot works!

 

i was copied that and changed dvar names that didnt work. I have no idea what i am doing

dvar_t* sv_hostname = Dvar_FindVar("sv_hostname");

char cleaned[1024] = { 0 };
StripColors(sv_hostname->current.string, cleaned, sizeof(cleaned));
SetConsoleTitle(cleaned);

 

Used this and worked

dvar_t* DvarName = Dvar_FindVar("DvarName");

	return DvarName->current.string;
