Add these two functions to handler.c and players who are flagged with
PRF_ABBREV will be
able to use abbrevations on characters and mobs in the room. Like if
they type look noc
and a char named nocturnal is in the room they will be able to look at
him. Add the abbrev flag
in structs.h etc, and make a command called abbrevate whch allows
players to toggle abbrevation on and off.
This will make pking fair for everbody, and make sure that ppl with
names like twatasphyich wont win fights
because you cant type their name fast enough. There is one catch
though,
if for example a two players named lafay and lafayii is in the room. If
you type l lafay the abbrevation code sometimes
picks out lafayii instead of lafay. What you need to do then is look
2.lafay. Im not sure how to fix this
in a clever way, and if anybody does plz do mail me.
