 I think the type might need to remain type 1, as many areas of the 
code check for type (ie, if op->type==PLAYER, do some player thing.).
If you made another number in this case, I don't think it would work because
all of those checks would fail.

 Best bet is to find some innocuous flag to use (check define.h), and make
soem change to player.c such that if that flag is set, don't present it as
an viable class for new players.
