Well, first you add the flag in structs.h. Find where all the
other flags are and add it to the end of that list. It'll look something
like:
#define FLAG_AFK (1<<n) /* This is COMPLETELY from memort and
probabaly screwed up..*/
n will be the number of the previous flag +1.
Look at how the other flags are done...
Now, to set a flag, I suggest you look at one of the functions (like
do_kill) and see how flags are set...I cant remeber, but I think
it is PLR_FLAGGED? and you can make your function. Most likely, there
will be someone with a better memory also answering you, but I hope
that this helps! :)

This would be tedious, but easy to do with a lotta if statements
and sprintfs or strcats...
