before your time")

then grep for save_char(
change them all to
save_char(d->character, GET_LOADROOM(d->character));
or
save_char(ch, GET_LOADROOM(ch));
Yes, this code is repitive.. and I might add, incomplete.
This is deliberate. I had lots of fun writing this in as obfuscated of a
pattern as I could. I wouldn't want to deprive you of this joy. It
really is not hard at all to do this. As a matter of fact, its rather
simplistic.
here's what you have to do.
1) check if the person has a LOADROOM - if so, save them
with their loadroom as the entrance room.
2) if they don't have a loadroom, set their entrance room
to the room they quit in.
3) if they die, or something, make sure they don't load in
that room.
4) default to nowhere, and make load_char put char in room
--- where if the room is nowhere, either immortal or mortal start_room..
this is default behavior i believe.
It should take you 15 minutes, w/o looking at my slightly
mixed up code. probably 25 if you do. :)
