I've tried multiple things, but I can't figure out how to create a login and save system that allows users, upon their first login, to input a name and choose from multiple icons. Can anyone give me a hand with this?

Have you read the DM Guide?

If you have have you read the DM Reference?

If you've done this i seriously think you should read them both agian what your asking for is simple search for some tutorials if you really want to know how.

Well, I looked through the tutorial, but it didn't make much sense to me, and the different codes they listed didn't seem to work very well together... And I still can't get it to ask for name, gender, or species...

That's helpful, but how do I get it to select from a list for different icons?

    Logn()
        var character = input("Choose your icon") in list("1","2","Ghost Anime","quit")
        switch(character)
            if("quit")del(src) //Removes the player from the game
            if("1) 
                src.icon = '1.dmi' //icon file
            if("2")
                src.icon = "2.dmi" //icon file
            if("3")
                src.icon == '3.dmi' //icon file


Do NOT copy and paste this snippet is really basic but you must learn from it and fix it i left out some things on purpose and also made some common mistakes.
