Can i get a player name as a string? i want show it as an HUD message. The IT seems not helpful, it is just a integer.

Uh... I assume he means HUD message kinda like 'Energy boosted to <number>' is.
To that, I can't say I know. I don't remember anything in the D3 SDK that dealt with multiplayer player names.

There is one can convert IT to player name(DLLPPic_GetPilot), in the <gamedll_header.h>.
I tried it, but only got compile errors.
