If you need to have this 'upme' command available while testing levels, etc
(while you have morts on) and don't want to have to worry about one of them
claiming an IMP position, just add a quick IDNUM check to the function,
like this:
ACMD(do_upme)
{
if (GET_IDNUM(ch) != 1) {
send_to_char("You think IMP positions are that easy to come by? Go
Figure...\r\n", ch);
} else {
GET_LEVEL(ch) = LVL_IMPL;
send_to_char("Done.\r\n", ch);
}
}
That way you don't have to worry about having to put this in when you need
to adv you (considering you are the IMP who was the very first person to
connect to the game, id 1) and taking this out when you are done. You can
just leave it in until you are sure you won't need it again. Plus you can
rest easy knowing that morts won't all be IMPs ;-)
