Q_strncasecmp confusion

[John6000]

My if statement keeps going into the first bit which means for some reason Q_strncasecmp( HL2MPRules()->MapName() , "tr_", 3) is always true even when I change to a map which does not have that prefix. Anyone have any ideas? thanks:D


if ( Q_strncasecmp( HL2MPRules()->MapName() , "tr_", 3) )
{
m_pWarmupLabel->SetText( "Training Course" );

}
else if ( Q_strncasecmp( HL2MPRules()->MapName() , "sp_", 3) )
{
m_pWarmupLabel->SetText( "Single Player" );
}
else if ( Q_strncasecmp( HL2MPRules()->MapName() , "vs_", 3) )
{
m_pWarmupLabel->SetText( "Humans Vs NPCS" );
}
else
{
m_pWarmupLabel->SetText( string1 );

}

This function returns when the strings are the same, so your code should look like this:

if ( 0 == Q_strncasecmp( HL2MPRules()->MapName() , "tr_", 3) )
{
m_pWarmupLabel->SetText( "Training Course" );
}
else if ( 0 == Q_strncasecmp( HL2MPRules()->MapName() , "sp_", 3) )
{
m_pWarmupLabel->SetText( "Single Player" );
}
else if ( 0 == Q_strncasecmp( HL2MPRules()->MapName() , "vs_", 3) )
{
m_pWarmupLabel->SetText( "Humans Vs NPCS" );
}
else
{
m_pWarmupLabel->SetText( string1 );
}
