It would involve recording player names as they are created (and deleting the record of them as they are deleted) but...

Code:

[FUNCTION f_onchar_create]
if <LIST.player_names.COUNT>
    if <LIST.player_names.FINDELEM <src.name>>
        src.sysmessage The name you have chosen is not available
        src.sysmessage Please chose a different name
        src.dialog d_name_change
    else
        LIST.player_names.ADD <src.name>
    endif
else
    LIST.player_names.ADD <src.name>
endif

[FUNCTION f_onchar_delete]
LIST.player_names.<LIST.player_names.FINDELEM <src.name>>.REMOVE

This is COMPLETELY untested, and obviously on a pre-existing server you would have to write and run a function to gather all player names and add them into the list.
I'm not even saying this method would be effective or efficient, I just started playing with lists properly and wondered if this might be viable.

Looks interesting, it could and should work (i think) mby a little bit of tweaking and it's good to go.
But on second thought, i will make mysql database because i'am going to make serious connections with my webpage and list of all players will be there one way or another, so i think i will make this one with mysql later, when web page and server will be ready
Anyway, Thanks for advise guys !
