Maybe it is precisely what you wanted to do, since it is not as hard:

I'd put the command "take all corpse" right after a killing, executed by
the one that did the killing.

The group member check is nice, I had only seen pure autoassist (cityguard
style).

There is the command "split", so what you have to do is check whenever you
get money from a corpse (a subset from the above "get all corpse") and if
there is money use the "split" command.

The easiest way to add clans and races is just to duplicate the class code
(or the relevant parts of it) so you make another iteration of separation
between mud playuers. Things like an advanced clan system (with ranks,
descriptions and the like) or an advanced race system (with different
physical attributes, like wings, tentacles or the like) are higher in the
coding evolutionary scale of the mud..:)

I agree... In the worst case see what other have done, understand it and
maybe then adapt it or make your own version. Other people's solution may
not suit you..:)
