Ive checked all help files, tried alot of different commands but nothing seemes to work. Is it possible to put colors in the status line or that cant be done? I would appriciate a fast answer when Im in a hurry to solve this problem! [}:)]

Yes. The newer versions of zMUD support MXP (HTML) commands in the status bar. So, you can use the <COLOR> tag to add color. For example:

#ST {Hp: <COLOR red>@hp</COLOR>}

would display the @hp variable in color on the status line.

You might need to turn off the "Parse <> for expansion" option in the Parse preferences.

Using MXP you can also put hyperlinks and <SEND> menus in your status bar as desired. It's very powerful.

Oh sorry for spam there, just another question! Is it possible to use #if commands in status line so if Hp goes under a certain amount it get red and even lower it get red,bold?

Yes. Since I've never used MXP, my example will use the %ansi function, but it will work the same way.

#ST {HP: %if(@hp<@bleeding,"red",%if(@hp<@dying,"high, red","green"))}

This also uses a couple of nested %if functions. Try it out. Substitute whatever numbers you want for the @bleeding and @dying variables.
