Any idea when or if this will be activated? The mud on which I play is a world of color and it's sooooo painful to have to put in each code for color whenever I want to show the original line, or in my notes, or what have you. I miss that feature greatly.

First, Beta testing is closed so all postings should go to the General forum (don't worry about this one, I'm going to move it shortly).

Second, color codes are already included in captured subpatterns when the ANSI trigger option is turned on. What other feature were you expecting color capture to be activated for?

Sorry about the post confusion. Since you're moving it, I'll just keep replies here. :)

Maybe I'm missing something, then. I went into Prefs, then Ansi color, then Color Syntax tab.
In the boxes I filled in all the codes: C = cyan, Y = bright yellow, and so forth. In the syntax
boxes I have the bracket which my mud uses: { I have the syntax enabled box checked.

When I copy a colored line from the mud and past it into the command box I get this:

{A {Bright {B{l{u{e {Box

Instead of the color codes:
{BA {BBright {BB{Cl{Bu{Ce {BBox

In my copy of Zmud it worked fine and so far as I can tell in my version of Cmud (3.34), everything is set up correctly. I'm just not sure why it's not pasting the codes in when I copy and paste.

EDIT: I do have the box ANSI Color checked under the Session: Emulation tab.

Aardwolf has a similar system, using @ instead of { and with uppercase denoting bright colors and lowercase denoting dim colors. There is no background color support, and it uses @w (dim white) as a de facto reset. Here's how it gets set up for Aardwolf:

(various color boxes get the color letters--W for bright white, w for dim white)

Syntax for Foreground Color
@F

Syntax for Background Color
(leave blank)

Syntax for setting both colors
(leave blank)

Syntax for resetting colors
@w

My guess is that for the Syntax for Foreground Color box you just typed in { instead of {F.

Matt, I bow to your prowess. After a couple of months of wanting to cry my eyeballs out you have restored my feature. Thank you! That was exactly the problem. :)
