3611, color exits
Posted by Pendragon_Surtr on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
After the reboot, I wanted to see this in action so I typed color exits and received confirmation that it was toggled, here is a copy of what I see with the toggle off:

<72%hp 56%m 100%mv 1579tnl> color exit
You no longer see highlighted room exits.

<72%hp 56%m 100%mv 1579tnl> l
Palace Way
This is a rather large street leading to the Palace. It has many
gold decorations covering the sidewalk. Diplomatic groups and
emissaries are the main travelers on the road. The Castle "Cataclysmic
Bounds" lies at the end of the way. To the west is the main intersection.
To the south lies the Warrior's guild.

And here is a copy of what I see with the toggle on:

You now see highlighted room exits.

There isn't any difference in the room exits, no exits in bold letters. I spoke to an imm on at the time and he said it works for him. *shrug*

3612, Check your client settings

We're using the "bold" setting for these ^[[1m
The white for room names is ^[[37;1m

If you check in your client, you might be able to find a place
where you can define the colors you see.  I could switch exits
to use "white" just like the room names if there is
a major client that does not support bold.  What client are
you using?

BTW, for those who might be wondering, the exits didn't show
up in the log because HTML use was enabled.  The forums tried
to interpret the exits as HTML code.  I disabled html for this
post.  There's a check mark just above where you type in the
subject line when posting.

I'm using Zmud 6.62. Looking at the color schemes, I have my
default text set to white foreground and black background. I
don't see a way to allow bold characters. I've tried changing
my fonts settings, but that didn't seem to work either. If you
have any suggestions, I would apprectiate hearing them.

I found the problem. If I change my color to light gray I can
see the exits highlighted. I guess I thought bold meant they
would be a larger text size or style. I can just set up a
trigger to color the exits, not a big deal.

Thanks for your help.
