I took a look at the patch. I suggest you do the same. I'll show you below.
+static void get_lookup_reply(void)
------------------- snip -----------------
+ strcpy(d->user_name, msg.user);
+ strcat(d->host , msg.user);
+ strcat(d->host , "@");
+ }
+ if (*msg.host)
+ {
+ strcpy(d->host_name, msg.host);
+ strcat(d->host , msg.host);
+ }
+ else
+ strcat(d->host, d->host_ip);
+
+ STATE(d) = CON_GET_NAME;
+
+ #if 0
You should try and notice stuff you change from the patches.
Don't automatically assume they work exactly as they are supposed to.
See that "STATE(d) = CON_GET_NAME;" up there? I suggest removing it.
I think that would be safe. However I could be wrong since I didn't bother
looking at the rest of the code. You should check the rest of the changes
and code from this for referrences to the state of the player.
