WHAT THIS HIGHLIGHTER DOES:

It auto-highlights all Clans, (including Chaos, Dragon, and Loner) and codes
them with an array of colors that best fit that entity. Several Aliases have
been added for easy use to both add names automatically (UpdateTag), or
manually, in addition to the means to remove them manually (Untag).
Eventually, I'll add aliases to more easily change colors but as of now,
you'll have to do them manually.

This is a highly evolved highlighter that takes into account for all flags
that might upset or wrongfully highlight words/names that shouldn't be
highlighted, such as (WANTED),(Hostile), and all Priest/Pirate Ranks.

NOTE: Giants are considered Loners, and therefore are added automatically to
the Loner list.

CREDIT:

This was originally a tweak from EndTasked's original build, but has since
evolved into what it is today. That said, credit goes to him for the original
build as always, and inspiring me to make a "better", more evolved version of
his classic age-old highlighter script. I suggest examining both codes in
order to figure out which one works best for you and your needs.

A thanks goes out to Charneus from the Zuggsoft Forums for originally helping
me fix the issues with improper highlighting errors regarding Dragon lists,
and partial Loner issues.

Last but not least, a big thanks to Libertarian for pretty much fixing
everything that I was too incompetent to fix myself, in addition to offering
solutions to countless other fixes to problems I never even knew I had yet.
Some of these include how to get around the Loner +
Priest/Pirate/WANTED/Hostile issues and help designing a far superior overall
build. Thanks!

NOTES ON COLORS:

I used the built in zMUD "Color Picker" which can be found on the Help Tab or
the shortcut, Ctrl+I, and enables you a near limitless selection of colors.
Feel free to customize further to your liking.

HOW TO INSTALL:

1) Copy the below provided script code into a notepad txt file.
2) Settings --> Import --> Script (ASCII) --> then select above file
3) Voila

HOW TO USE: (Alias Commands)

To REMOVE a name from ANY list:

UnTag (name)
ex: untag Rochford

To ADD ALL available names to the CLAN lists:

UpdateTag
ex: UpdateTag

To MANUALLY ADD any SINGLE name to a CLAN list:

Shadow: AddShadow (name)
Bloodlust: AddLust (name)
Knighthood: AddKnight (name)
Jusiice: AddJustice (name)
Wargar: AddWargar (name)

NOTE: I didn't incorporate Demons, Angels, or Balanx due to their rarity.
Personally, I just add them manually to the Loner list. Perhaps next I see an
Angel and a Balanx, I'll copy/paste their string and incorporate them into the
script too. If anyone wants to reply to a copy/paste of an old log of one on
the who list, I might add them sooner.

KNOWN ISSUES and/or ERRORS:

Bullet proof until I decide to add something broken.

NOW FOR THE SCRIPT!!!
