promote_to_coder ( pl,  promotenotify=1 )

Takes in a Player object or shadow and then does the steps to promote the player to a coder. Also saves the adjusted player to disk so they don't have to go through this process again and builds their coding environment.

arguments:

pl

(player ob) This is the player to promote to coder status.

promotenotify=1

(int) 1 if yes, 0 if no as to whether to notify people in the room as to this promoted coders code-edness.

save_file ( editor,  args )

Saves a file to disk that a coder opened for editing. When nomacs and mpico are instantiated, this method is bound to them for saving the output of their file buffers. In this way, we can use the editors for editing things from mail messages to bulletin board entries to files and just bind different save_file methods to the editors.

This particular one saves files being edited by coders to disk. It really shouldn't be called on it's own outside of the editor context.

arguments:

editor

(editor ob instance) the editor holding the buffer we want to save

args

(list of arguments) (ignored)
