I agree about having people advance to immortal only by the God on the
system and that is one of the things we took care of right away. To
change for your mud add the following to the gain_exp in the limits.c file.
void gain_exp(struct char_data *ch, int gain)
int i;
bool is_altered = FALSE;
if (IS_NPC(ch) || ((GET_LEVEL(ch) < LEVEL_IMMORT) && (GET_LEVEL(ch) >
0))) {
if (gain > 0) {
gain = MIN(100000, gain);
GET_EXP(ch) += gain;
if (!IS_NPC(ch)) {
/*THIS IS THE FIX RIGHT BELOW THIS LINE. IT IS ONLY THE NEXT LINE!!!*/
if((GET_LEVEL(ch) < 30) && (GET_LEVEL(ch) > 0)){
for (i = 0; titles[GET_CLASS(ch)-1][i].exp <= GET_EXP(ch); i++) {
if (i > GET_LEVEL(ch)) {
send_to_char("You rise a level!\n\r", ch);
GET_LEVEL(ch) = i;
advance_level(ch);
is_altered = TRUE;
}
