User Counter - A ButterMud Production
                   ButterMud - Telnet://betterbox.net:4000

   They had one on Copper ][ ages ago, but haven't seen many Muds with it
since then.  If you have any questions/comments/suggestions, feel free to
drop an email, or stop by the mud.

ButterMud - Telnet://betterbox.net:4000


Add the following to interpreter.c

__interpreter.c__

_First add the following function

void user_cntr(struct descriptor_data *d) {

 /* User counter - Muerte - A ButterMud Production 
      Telnet://betterbox.net:4000                                */

FILE *uc_fp;
long u_cnt = 0;

  uc_fp = fopen("USRCNT", "r+b");
  if (uc_fp != NULL) {
  fread(&u_cnt, sizeof (long), 1, uc_fp);
  u_cnt ++;
  rewind(uc_fp);
  fwrite(&u_cnt, sizeof (long), 1, uc_fp);
  fclose(uc_fp);
  sprintf(buf, "You are player #%ld to logon since  xx/xx/xx", u_cnt);
  SEND_TO_Q(buf, d); }
}

_Now insert calls to the function, I placed it in the following places.

  SEND_TO_Q(motd, d);
      user_cntr(d);   /* User Counter - Muerte 10/7/97 */
      sprintf(buf, "%s [%s] has connected.", GET_NAME(d->character),d->host);
      mudlog(buf, BRF, MAX(LVL_IMMORT, GET_INVIS_LEV(d->character)),TRUE);

  and for new players...

 sprintf(buf, "%s [%s] new player.", GET_NAME(d->character), d->host);
    mudlog(buf, NRM, LVL_IMMORT, TRUE);
    user_cntr(d);
    break;

  You might need to 'touch' the file first time round, but that's about
it.  Compile, reboot and enjoy.
