Not to insult, so don't take this personally Brian or anyone else, but please, try to make your messages more readible. One way to start would be start using a period instead of elipses, throw in some proper casing at the start of sentences, hell, maybe a comma or two. It'd make it much easier for everyone to read and understand your messages if you spent just the little extra effort to make them nicer looking and easier to read. I, at least, would appreciate it a ton more. Anyway, on to the questions...

But if you mean when players get auto-saved or when someone in void is saved, you want it to save them at ch->was_in, you'll have to change the code to make it do save_char(ch, ch->was_in); for linkdead characters (!ch->desc). > third) I want crashes to load them in the last inn they rented at.. > i.e. I rented at an inn in room 1059, came back in, and walked around > for a few mins, then oops - the mud crashed on me.. > I enter back at 1059 when it comes back up.. Save the last place they rented at's virtual number, convert it to a real number, and do a save_char() [which will convert it back to a virtual, heheheh :)] at the inn. The player will load in that inn provided they aren't saved in a different room before the crash. > fourth) want corpses to save in crashes/reboots.... so i don't have to > reimb every player who dies and the mud crashes before they get their > corpse... You'll have to write a file (in binary) that has all of the corpses in it, load that upon bootup, and create the corpse objects. Look at objsave.c for a rough example of what to do... -- Daniel Koepke dkoepke@california.com Forgive me father, for I am sin. +-----------------------------------------------------------+ | Ensure that you have read the CircleMUD Mailing List FAQ: | | http://cspo.queensu.ca/~fletcher/Circle/list_faq.html | | Or send 'info circle' to majordomo@cspo.queensu.ca | +-----------------------------------------------------------+
