I want to make it so that when a player logs in, if there are no other clients in the game, it automatically hosts the world. Here's what I thought:

world
    mob = /mob/joined
mob
    joined
        Login()
            if(!clients)
                client.mob = new/mob/DM()
                world.address = client.address
            else
                client.mob = new/mob/player
            ..()

Well, client.address is always null for the host, but I don't see a question around here anywhere. ;-)

Here's the question: How would I force the first person to enter the game, to host it? :)

Use a little undocumented call: world.OpenPort(). You might want to do something like this:

mob/Login()
. = ..()
if (!world.port)
world.OpenPort()

Or you could do it once in world/New() if you like.
