I noticed my triggers utilizing the line color option is no longer working correctly. I am guessing this relates directly to the color upgrades of 3.34 as 3.33a was working perfectly. Is there something I need to change to get to work properly with the color changes?

Can you give us an example of a trigger? The only way to know if a new bug was introduced is we get an example.

As Darmir said, we need to see the exact trigger. Also you need to go into the Script Debugger and turn on the Raw Input/Output message and show us the line from the MUD that is firing the trigger.

I'll do one better as I'm having the same issue. Screen shot of the trigger line at the bottom for defenses then a screenshot of the trigger that used to fire off of it no problems

Oh, and a little bit of a side note, if I uncheck the line color option, the trigger fires fine....so I don't get it

Talonnb, the color in your line color option does not appear to match match the color of the line from the mud. If that is correct, it would explain why your trigger doesn't fire if you with the line color option on.

But it 'did' prior to the update, so I don't think it's the color I've chosen. I've even messed around with the color, thinking maybe it changed, but it hasn't. And this isn't the only one that isn't firing anymore, I have a lot of color based trigs, off of other colors as well and they aren't firing either

I can confirm that this is a bug.

What is happening here is that the Trigger is requiring a full match of both the foreground and background color. However, the recent bug fix when handling the default background color makes this different.

For example, in the past if the MUD just send the ANSI code to color the foreground red (with a default black background), the trigger would fire. However in 3.34 the background isn't "black" anymore, it is "default" unless the MUD specifically changes it. So your trigger is trying to match foreground red and background black but the color on the screen is foreground red and background default. So it doesn't match anymore.

So I need to change how the trigger Line Color is working and have it convert the default background color into the *actual* color on the screen before it tries to match the trigger. This is a bit tricky to do correctly, but I'll try to release an update in a week or so to fix this. Sorry it screwed up your triggers.

BTW, if you are using ANSI Color triggers that no longer work, simply copy the line you want to match from the MUD and paste it into the Pattern field of the Trigger Editor when the ANSI Color option is checked. This will cause CMUD to properly fill in the needed ANSI color codes into your trigger pattern. The bug fixes in 3.34 might have changed some of this slightly so you might need to re-paste the line from the MUD to get the correct color codes. I won't be able to fix that, but I should be able to fix the simple "Line Color" issue.

I found a 'temp' fix for this. As you said, it had to do with the default background color so that got me to thinking about a fix.

I went in under Options-General-Ansi Color-Background Color and clicked on the black box below the '0' and clicked on black again. Once I ok'd out of it, it worked fine, hope that helps anyone else having the issue

That only apparently worked for me once and now doesn't work again....don't know what I did, but guess that isn't the fix I thought it was
