[CF-Devel] DM - God Finger - bleah!

[crossfire-devel at archives.real-time.com]

A later conversation on IRC:

dm;patch [DM_name] alive 0;patch [DM_name] no_pick 1

Note:

dm;patch [DM_name] no_pass 0;patch [DM_name] alive 0 will work, but a 
player stepping on the DM and trying to pick them up will result in a 
"It must have been an illusion", combined with the DM disappearing, and 
dropping all of his equipment. Item number 0, and other nastiness.

Creatures will also try and attack the DM now, but won't deal any damage.  
Can't say the same for nearby players, monsters, items, etc.

        This may be simpler to fix - the update_space() code (or is it

      lots of bits like that.
