Disable the ANSI trigger options and try again. If you have the ANSI trigger option enabled, zMUD expects to also match ANSI codes supplied in the pattern. However, since you are already using the Trigger on Line Color, you don't need ANSI trigger enabled.

The corpse could look like one of these two examples:

When you look inside, you see:
Corpse (here) :
2 gold pieces
A Bogtoga
A short sword
A Blue Uuji
A Pearl Earring
A Ruby Bracelet
A Turquoise Ring
A Yellow Silk Sash
A Silver Anklet
A Pearl Necklace

Or like this :

When you look inside, you see:
Corpse (here) :
2 gold pieces
A Bogtoga
A short sword
A Blue Uuji
A Pearl Earring
A Ruby Bracelet
A Turquoise Ring
A Yellow Silk Sash
A Silver Anklet
A Pearl Necklace

When the mob doesn't have a RDI it's just base gray colour, but when it's an rdi it shows with a colour in this example with blue.

Since Maul hasn't posted any further problem with this since January, it's likely that Kjata's solution worked for him. There's no need to resurrect the post.

You will have to change the pattern, Value, and Line Color to match the object you're interested in. Maul's trigger will only work for a Cloak of Conquest in red text, with a black background and bold text.
Pattern: A Blue Uuji
Value: Get uuji from corpse

options:
other options:
~~ANSI trigger~~

Trigger on:
newline
linecolor:
black backgroud
blue lettering
~~bold text~~

It's not a very good solution, since it requires knowing in advance which items may be RDI's and what colors they might have, with individual triggers for each item/color combo, but it does work.
