A good many of my players are new to mudding, and are really enjoying the exploration aspect of the game, but they get disheartened when they die , and are not able to make it back to their corpse. This snippet will allow you to set a room where player corpses will go when they die. Very similar to mortal_start_room. This isn't for everyone, but maybe a few of you will benefit from it. Thanks Vatiken for a nudge in the right direction here and there. *Mutters about fight.c*
I'm not the best tutorial maker, I just tried to keep track of things as I went along. You will notice I don't have numerical line locations , but that is mostly because I'm modified to the point it wouldn't do you much good.
