Well, the easiest thing to do at this point is to just print to log the value of "buf". I think the command would be something like: log_string(buf).

I get "Log: (null)" and in the nanny its also says "(null)". Is there anyway to find out what the character at [0] is? I think this could helpme. I tried using log_buff( buf[0] ), but it does not allow it.

OK, here's something I note: in my version of SMAUG, which is admittedly quite different from yours, set_title is called in nanny when the character is created/authed. The title is then set to "the %s".

Maybe your code also has more references to set_title outside of advance_level, in which case you'll have to hunt them down and introduce a similar check that you have inside advance_level.

void advance_level( CHAR_DATA * ch )
{
   char buf[MAX_STRING_LENGTH];
   int add_hp;
   int add_mana;
   int add_move;
   int add_prac;


   snprintf( buf, MAX_STRING_LENGTH, "%s" ,title_table[ch->Class][ch->level][ch->sex == SEX_FEMALE ? 1 : 0] );

   if (buf[0] != '(')
     set_title(ch, buf );
   
   add_hp = con_app[get_curr_con( ch )].hitp + number_range( class_table[ch->Class]->hp_min,
                                                             class_table[ch->Class]->hp_max );
   add_mana = class_table[ch->Class]->fMana ? number_range( 2, ( 2 * get_curr_int( ch ) + get_curr_wis( ch ) ) / 8 ) : 0;
   add_move = number_range( 5, ( get_curr_con( ch ) + get_curr_dex( ch ) ) / 4 );
   add_prac = wis_app[get_curr_wis( ch )].practice;

   add_hp = UMAX( 1, add_hp );
   add_mana = UMAX( 0, add_mana );
   add_move = UMAX( 10, add_move );

.....

and



void set_title( CHAR_DATA * ch, char *title )
{
   char buf[MAX_STRING_LENGTH];

   if( IS_NPC( ch ) )
   {
      bug( "%s", "Set_title: NPC." );
      return;
   }

   if( isalpha( title[0] ) || isdigit( title[0] ) )
   {
      buf[0] = ' ';
      mudstrlcpy( buf + 1, title, MAX_STRING_LENGTH - 1 );
   }
   else
   {
	   mudstrlcpy( buf, title, MAX_STRING_LENGTH );
   }

   if( str_cmp( buf, " the (null)" ) != 0 )
   {
     STRFREE( ch->pcdata->title );
     ch->pcdata->title = STRALLOC( buf );
   }

   return;
}

This code fixed my problem. Thanks for all the help!

Well, be careful; now you can't have class titles that start with a parenthesis. You probably won't have any, but it's good to keep in mind... but it's good that at least the basics are working! :)

point well taken, but i could just use the following

if( str_cmp( buf, "(null)" ) != 0 )

and that should allow titles with parentheses. For my mud, players will recieve titles based off of thier class and completion of quests. I choose to do it this way becuase when i logged into 'Realms of Dispair', people had non-rping titles. Seriously, there were things like 'is a smelly butt' and other rediculous titles. Kind of ruins the point of titles in my opinion.
