In my old MUD, I used:
case 52:
if (IS_MOB(vict)) {
if (vict->player.short_descr != mob_proto[vict->nr].player.short_descr)
FREE(vict->player.short_descr);
vict->player.short_descr = STR_DUP(val_arg);
} else {
FREE(GET_NAME(vict));
vict->player.name = STR_DUP(val_arg);
if ((i = find_name(GET_NAME(vict))) >= 0) {
FREE(player_table[i].name);
player_table[i].name = STR_DUP(val_arg);
}
}
break;
(FREE = free, STR_DUP = str_dup; for your purpose.)
It looks like I fixed it to update the player table but I don't remember
doing that specifically. That was written for bpl12 so you may need to
change it a bit.
