[C++] Changing Skill advance message.

[Gryffian]

I have this to change:

sprintf(advMsg, "You advanced in %s.", getSkillName(skill).c_str());

I want to change it to:

You advanced from sword fighting 10 to sword fighting 11.

Like in this one: http://otland.net/f35/you-advanced-sword-fighting-10-sword-fighting-11-small-addition-ots-97874/

[cpp]sprintf(advMsg, "You advanced from %s %d to %s %d.", getSkillName(skill).c_str(), skills[skill][SKILL_LEVEL]-1, getSkillName(skill).c_str(), skills[skill][SKILL_LEVEL]);[/cpp]
nonlegit though

Yup, it crashes my server on skill advance.
Maybe bigger part?

	{
		count -= vocation->getReqSkillTries(skill, skills[skill][SKILL_LEVEL] + 1) - skills[skill][SKILL_TRIES];
		skills[skill][SKILL_LEVEL]++;
		skills[skill][SKILL_TRIES] = 0;
		skills[skill][SKILL_PERCENT] = 0;
		char advMsg[50];
		sprintf(advMsg, "You advanced in %s.", getSkillName(skill).c_str());
		sendTextMessage(MSG_EVENT_ADVANCE, advMsg);

		g_creatureEvents->playerAdvance(this, skill, (skills[skill][SKILL_LEVEL] - 1), skills[skill][SKILL_LEVEL]);
		advance = true;

		if(vocation->getReqSkillTries(skill, skills[skill][SKILL_LEVEL]) > vocation->getReqSkillTries(skill, skills[skill][SKILL_LEVEL] + 1))
		{
			count = 0;
			break;
		}
	}

It allows you to store longer message since it creates table with 25 more char variables. Solution provided by Cykotitan works. Just change

char advMsg[50];

to

char advMsg[75];

and you could use it in your OT.
