Places Desc Parent
This is designed to enhance a room that already has the standard places code, by adding the place name after the player's name in the desc. Check out the Phoenix Inn on CryptMUX for a working example. [Note it requires that the MU* allows the room owner to execute hasflag(), and that if your MUX or MUSH is set up such that wizards/people who pass ZMO enter locks can see in DARK rooms, it'll be icky for them.]
Instructions
Copy and paste the below code into a compatible MUSH or MUX.
