at the start of the game it asks for you name. you type that in.... then you select a race from the menu.... then you select your sex. i do the string variables.... then i make this command.
/look self
message: #playername# is a #sex# #race#. In one hand he holds a Short Sword. He is in |cgHealthy|cb condition.
but when i test the game and type in the command it does all the stuff that i put in apart from the #sex# variable.
ANNOYING!!!

This may sound a bit obvious, but have you checked that you've actually written to the "sex" string variable? It's all I can think of. You can check by going to the Debug menu and selecting String Variables.

Does anyone else find that sentance to have a couple of errors in it?
Eg, if the person's female itll read-
"John is a female gnat. In one hand he holds a Short Sword. He is in Healthy condition."
Shouldn't you have variables instead of those "he"'s?
