Ok, first of all it says (null) if they don't type in a surname because it
is exactly that - null. I'm not sure what you're surname code looks like,
but here's a little tip on how to rectify the problem ...
(interpreter.c)
case CON_GET_SURNAME:
+ if (!*arg) /* This makes the surname '.' if they don't write */
+ *arg = '.'; /* anything at the surname prompt ... */
else {
ch->surname = *arg;
}
STATE(d) = CON_RMOTD;
return;
There's probably a million little mistakes in that code, but anyway. And the
obvious reason why the surname is not saving when they quit is because db.c
is not loading it up properly. Or perhaps you are not saving it all! Hope this
helps.
