Well, he's implimenting an online race editor, so having to go in and
edit the code after each time you remove a race would defeat the
purpose of online! I think his idea is half-assed myself (No offense)
But some players might not want to be human after they find out thier
favourite race is dead :S. Also, remember, ch->parts, etc, are set
upon creation, so if the race is gone, you have to update all those
flags. This is why I say you give them a new choice for a race, then
they can pick it, and you can update thier stats. You can just use
CON_GET_RACE, come to think of it. Just, at, the end, have like,
if(ch->level > 0 )
d->connected = IS_IMMORTAL(ch) ? CON_READ_IMOTD : CON_READ_MOTD;
else
d->connected = CON_GET_CLASS;
Now, I don't remember if the next step actually is class... might be
sex, whatever, just replace CON_GET_CLASS with the proper state. Also,
make sure that new chars that are sent into the nanny's level is 0.
Just put something in CON_CONFIM_PASSWORD to zero it, and it should
work fine. And you don't need alot of code!
