* I'm not a glory hound.....if you DO decide to use this, all I ask if, if you


* have the time, email me and let me know...I would just like to see who'd use


* something I came up with.<G>





in update.c:


In local functions, add this at the bottom :


void    olcautosave     args( ( void ) );





in the update_handler, add this :


   in if ( --pulse_area     <= 0 )


add :


        olcautosave     ( );


Then, somewhere near the bottom add this code :





void olcautosave( void )


{


   AREA_DATA *pArea;


   DESCRIPTOR_DATA *d;


   char buf[MAX_INPUT_LENGTH];





/*  if you're still adding areas manually, you may need to remove the next line - Chance */                


        save_area_list();


        for ( d = descriptor_list; d != NULL; d = d->next )


        {


           if ( d->editor)


                   send_to_char( "OLC Autosaving:\n\r", d->character );


        }


        sprintf( buf, "None.\n\r" );


                 


        for( pArea = area_first; pArea; pArea = pArea->next ) 


        {


            /* Save changed areas. */


            if ( IS_SET(pArea->area_flags, AREA_CHANGED) )


            {


                save_area( pArea );


                sprintf( buf, "%24s - '%s'", pArea->name, pArea->file_name );


                for ( d = descriptor_list; d != NULL; d = d->next )


                {


                   if ( d->editor )


                   {


                        send_to_char( buf, d->character );


                        send_to_char( "\n\r", d->character );


                   }


                }   


                REMOVE_BIT( pArea->area_flags, AREA_CHANGED );


            }


        }       


        


        if ( !str_cmp( buf, "None.\n\r" ) )


        {


           for ( d = descriptor_list; d != NULL; d = d->next )


           {


                if ( d->editor )


                        send_to_char( buf, d->character );


           }     


        }


         


        return;
