What I do:
Add
long connect_time;
To the descriptor_data structure.
In init_descriptor() assign d->connect_time to time(0);
Then in game_loop_unix, where it checks for a new connection do this where
it loops
Through the descriptors:
if (d->connected > CON_PLAYING) {
if (d->character) {
if ( (time(0) - d->connect_time) > 15*60)
close_socket(d);
}
}
Anyone who hasn't made it into the mud within 15 minutes get "teh boot"
