Here's a bit more that went with the name Demo...

var/list/html = list("<",">","font","size")

var
    list
        un_wanted_names = list("Crzylme") //my key is there just for a test

    name_length
    maximum_name_length_amount = 15 //set length


To tell you the truth, Yes it is Zeta ripped...

And... I'm having quite a bit of trouble making it part of the code.

But DON'T Tell me not to use Zeta coding... I'm staying with it and don't spam this telling me not to use it!

-=Edit=-
I got rid of most of the errors.... but the rest, I am totally confused on...

Then DON'T expect anybody to help you.

In my eyes, your post translates to, "I didn't put any effort into this code. In fact, I stole it, fully knowing that my actions were illegal. I can't clean up the mess that is Zeta, so could you please do it for me? Actually, while you're at it, could you program my entire game for me?".

[edit]
I'm sorry if this offended you at all, Crzylme, but really, you can't expect to get help when you're knowingly participating in an illegal activity. People work hard on their games: stealing is wrong.

Why not? In case it isn't obvious yet, Zeta coding royally sucks. I mean good gads, there's a friggin' goto in there, and for what's supposed to be a simple loop. The proc is calling itself recursively for no reason without using spawn()--and again where a simple loop would be infinitely better. This code is a disaster. Instead, go find a good demo on character creation.

At any rate, you really can't expect help with code that isn't yours, especially if it's ultra-buggy code that's already popped up the same questions dozens of times.
