GET_SEX() GET_RACE() and GET_CLASS() all point to char variables, not
strings. The way you have it set would produce this output:
Name: You are a 17 year old m d w. Your level is 1.
Assuming a male dwarven warrior is typing score. You want to access the
string arrays with the correct name, such as genders[], pc_class_types[]
and pc_race_types[]. Try this:
sprintf(buf, "%s: You are a %d year old %s %s %s. Your level is %d.",
GET_NAME(ch), GET_AGE(ch), genders[(int)GET_SEX(ch)],
pc_race_types[(int)GET_RACE(ch)],
pc_class_types[(int)GET_CLASS(ch)], GET_LEVEL(ch));
You'll also have to add extern declarations for the above arrays at the
top of the file, ie:
extern const char *pc_class_types[];
