Hello everyone

As this is my first post, I'd like to start by saying how much I really love Zmud. Its made playing muds so much more fun. Its brilliant! Thanks Zugg, you're the best :)

Now to my problem, I have a Trigger that colours certain words from the mud, I used the handy trigger wizard provided and it works perfectly on screen, but when I open my logs to read how I died or whatever, all the words coloured by my trigger are black on black in the log. What am I doing wrong?

I have a list variable called People and my trigger is:

#TRIGGER {(@people)} {#CW "#FFFFFF,#000000"}

Can anyone help?

The use $hex-number is reccommended over #hex-number only to save the syntax checker confusion. While braces are proper quotes work, and equally save the syntax checker confusion.

The problem is in the type of log your creating. You are using an ansi log, but the control codes inserted by #CW when hex values are used is an MXP extension. To properly log this you would have to use an HTML log. The only way to do that is with Charbal's HTML Logger plug-in. You can search the forums for it. Alternately you can convert the #CW into an ansi code by making it #CW {white,black}. Since white and black are in the ansi color names set the ansi system should be used and you current logging method would work.

Help files state #CW supports "RGB values in hexadecimal format preceded by a $." Has this been changed?

Thanks for the quick reply Falan,

I tried it and It didn't work, sorry. My log still shows the names in @people as black on black.

Ok, scratch that, I just used the words for the colours instead of the $fffff stuff and it works fine now, thanks Falan

Might be an idea to change the Trigger Wizard in the next version/update.

#CW does support RGB values in hexadecimal format preceded by a $. These work perfectly well in the window issuing the #CW command. Nothing has changed.
