Cheers Zeilap,
That seems to have fixed the issue. I'd presumed the conversion was done when bitcoind received the RPC command, not when it was sent. The more you know!
Topic: Adding RPC Commands to bitcoind - cannot convert input (Read 1602 times)
I suspect you're using a regular bitcoind to call your customized server. The vanilla client doesn't know about your new calls and so doesn't convert the values.
If you run your modified Qt client and open the debug console, you'll notice the command works just fine.

I'm attempting to add an RPC command to bitcoind. (createchaintradetx in this case)
(Code thus far: https://github.com/XertroV/bitcoin/commit/645c88d361a18c330845e5697ea9c817045bd452)
I'd like to convert one fo the input values, and it seems there's a lot of that done in bitcoinrpc.cpp in function RPCConvertValues.
I've added the line I presume I need:
However, I continue to recieve
I presume the conversion is failing. I've confirmed this with a previous RPC command I tried to add and had the same problem.
Does anyone know why this is failing? I've grepped through for other function names (such as createrawtransaction) and can't find other references to them that would hint at what is needed to fix this.
Edit: as a testcase to produce the above error, if you clone the chaintrade branch linked above, you should be able to compile and run the following on testnet:
