I assume you got this coded in?  I'm planning on implementing a
raise dead spell (you cast on gravestones), and think working from your
code would be a good start. What'd you have to do?

When they die, save with save_player(foo,1);

I assume you got this already, though.


PS, a lot of our players have been trying out your server, and rather like
it.  Its alot faster than the one we have on soda.berkeley.edu (it may be
a fast multiprocessor machine, but crossfire is a single process, so we
can't go any faster than a single 16mhz 386 :-(  )

On the other hand, we have a few cool hacks...
