Hey, I have been trying to make a name system for a while, and I got it where it would work, but I can't figure out how to make like a name database so that when a character is made it is added and not to be used again, as the game I am working on has a death system as if you die you have to remake (going on realism).

I need a system that loads the database only to check if the name is available and to save a new name to it, like load it RIGHT when the name is chosen that way it is the most up to date version of the database.

Can anyone help me out? Give me a few pointers?
A simple text based database could work out, or you could have a huge list which is saved using BYONDs saving method. There are countless methods, you could even have an online mysql database too...

How would I go about doing the byond saving method?

Look up savefiles, I guess. Just make a savefile, write the namelist to it, et voila.
