this FILE* log needs to be located outside of the function. (i.e. above
void log(... ect.

if log == NULL then the file wasn't opened.with w it will always overight
you might want to make it so it appends or add some special handling. that
way if the mud crashes and you have something to restart it you still have
the log with the crash.

This return means exit the program. so you need to put the below code
above the return. Don't worry about this mistake i do this quite often when
editing code this large ;)

should be above the return like mentioned above.
I hope this helps. Thanks for the credit too :)
