Changing default text foreground color
|
Is there a way to change the default text foreground color from the command line?
The reason for this question is that I normally use the standard green for that color. When I'm looking for a member of the merchant guild while online the mud I play their level shows up in green when I use 'who short'. In order to find a merchant I end up going into Preferences, changing the default foreground color to gray, checking 'who short' and then changing the color back.
I'm looking to try to change this into a macro. I've looked for ways to change the forground color or change to a to a user defined color scheme and back, but have not had any luck. |

What may be easier is to set a trigger to highlight the merchants in a colour other than green.
What is the text that identifies a merchant? Or is it just that there's no specific text for a merchant, and that the only way to identify them is that their level shows in green?
A simple colour trigger may work though
#cw {text to match} {colour} |

Here is a couple lines of what I see in who short:
[ 10] Alexiusraven [ 22]-Cairne [ 6] Carinde [ 29]-Cullyn
[ 8] Cypher { 90}-Danik [ 15] Dinadan [ 46] Elthan
[ 50]-Evanescent [ 15] Evilild < AW>-Faeryll [ 15] Fjorn
[ 63]-Fuze [ 19] Gremillion [ 15] Hung [ 30] Ixtalis
[ 6] Jacobogoth { 60} Kahuna [ 20]-Kaze [ 50] Kittykitty
[ 10] Kleines [ 16] Kurwa <104> Kyrt [ 15]-Malkais
It's spaced more neatly when I view it in the MUD because I use a fixed width font in Zmud. Any of the people with {} or [] arround their level could be a merchant. I can give the name of the Mud if anyone would like to look at it themselves, but I was trying to avoid the whole shamless plug thing. |

even if your default text is green, the mud will still send an ansi code to change the color to green. Since the default doesn't have this ansi code, you should be able to trigger off it? (only guessing here, haven't tested it)

Just off the top of my head, make 2 ANSI triggers to fire off the green; one matching the braces and the other for the brackets. Something like
#TR {%e[xxm~[%s%d~]?%w} {#CW orange} "" {color}
#TR {%e[xxm~{%s%d~}?%w} {#CW orange} "" {color}
I imagine it'll be easier to do it via the Settings Editor, but this gives you an idea. Obviously, the [xxm part would be the code for green. Also, I'm not sure about the question mark (?) for matching both a space and a dash (-). |
