Um, the original way I had it was:
+ for (dt = descriptor_list; dt; dt = dt->next)
+ if (GET_NAME(dt->character) && !str_cmp(GET_NAME(dt->character), newname))
+ return FALSE;
(Note the lack of ! in the GET_NAME.)
Putting the ! on there only does a str_cmp if their name is NULL, not quite
what you want. In my original way it only does a str_cmp if the person's
namne does exist, which is everyone except for the person being created.
