Is there a way to change the default color of #echo, #say, #sayprompt et cetera? The dark blue on black is hard to read :(

And...

ATCP, does it actually work or is it still in the works? I play Aetolia and the trigger to echo char.vitals doesn't actually do anything.

Much thanks in advance.

Yes to your first question - you'll have to go to Options -> Fonts and change the "Information messages" color.

I believe the answer to your second question is yes, too, but I don't play with ATCP. Perhaps another person who does use ATCP can verify this.

Thanks so much, and more advanced thanks to anyone who knows on the ATCP thing.

I play Imperian with ATCP and it works great. You may need to use a packet sniffer to make sure your trigger is right, I hear what ATCP sends varies a bit between games so the example might not work in Aetolia. Also, you occasionally need to restart CMud when adding ATCP triggers (editing the ones you've got doesn't seem to cause problems).

It should be light blue, not dark :S

Regardless - Prefs, Styles, Session, Information messages. The colour should be Aqua, but you can set it to whatever you like.

ATCP is in and working. I wrote that trigger myself a while ago, and it worked then - if it's not working now, I'd like to know why so I can fix it (and if it's something for just your MUD).

If you'd like to help with that and save me setting up an account on Aetolia - on the window menu, choose Script Debugger, then on the messages menu of that new window, select raw input/output. Do some stuff to get some prompts (like dancing a couple of times or something, something without too much spam inbetween them) and then paste what outputs into the debugger inside [code] tags here on the forums.

EDIT: Oh wow, I had this tab open for ages and missed the replies. Pretend this was right after the OP.

Yes, that's perfect. Weirdly, there's no ATCP data in there. You'd spot it because it'd be preceded by <IAC><SB><200> and ended with <IAC><SE>. Normally the games transmit that data as part of the prompt - normally, I think, just before the letters at the end.

Is ATCP really on for this session? Check the options. And is MCCP off (it should be turned off automatically when the server says it supports ATCP)? I'll definitely have to have a look at Aetolia if it really is on :|

I made sure that ATCP was checked and MCCP was unchecked, also turned off MCCP in the proxy program that I'm using(This program may also be eating the ATCP tags, I'll post and you tell me >_>

Yes, it is. Mudbot (that's what you're using, I'm sure) eats ATCP, so it won't work in CMUD. You can use ILua to pass the data onto CMUD if you want (just echo the data with some string in the front that you trigger off), but it eats the suboption text when it displays its own prompts. I'll mention this in the ATCP help file.

Stupid mudbot, I don't want your prompt, I just want your map! ;_;

Thanks though!

Well, the good news is that with ATCP, it should be a doddle to set up the mapper. You'll just have to print them off or something so you can run round and put them into the CMUD mapper ;)

I modified MudBot for Lusternia, and I added an option to pass the ATCP codes on to the client rather than eating them. Since the source code is publicly available, you (or someone else) should be able to easily do the same for Aetolia.

I thought Aetolia had the new built in map anyway? (We've got it now in Imperian, it's OK, I don't really use it but it does make creating your own proper map a little easier.)

It does, but it doesn't replace client maps. It only gives local area.

And you can't just type #walk home and go and put the kettle on ;)

Psh, if you've got proper walking you can't get far enough out to have time to put a kettle on. But what I'm really saying is... you've got no excuse for not setting up the mapper in CMud. Everything's already mapped for you, you've just got to copy it.
