Does anyone who uses Linux have the problem of the "YELLOW" color showing up as a sort of icky orange when using their local linux box? I havn't tried logging in remotely quite yet, although I suspect that if I used a good "TRUE ANSI" term program it would look fine. . .I have noticed that orange color before on circlemuds though. . . Also, does anyone know how to implement the "LIGHT" versions of color? ie Light Blue, Light Yellow, etc. . .I know I have seen MUDS that have more than the basic circle blue, green, yellow (sorta), magenta, cyan, white, red. . .I talked to a MUD imp who said all I had to do was use the Highlight command. . .I tried finding the escape sequence online for highlight, or maybe the light colors, but only found the escape sequences for the basic colors. . .if I could find the sequences then adding them to the screen.h file would be rather easy I think. . . Lastly, (geez, where did I get off on this color tangent?) Does anyone know how to implement online color commands? ie "say $blu Hello $nrm" would say "Hello" in the blue color. . .I can't quite figure out how to implement something like that which would have to force the ansi escape sequences through whatever string, etc was being printed to the screen. . .that's why you can't just type out the sequence like "say ]m30x Hello" (or whatever the sequence is) and have it change the color since the entire string gets sent as is. . . just some things to think about, Clifford G.
