unbold %ansi without reset
|
Ok, so hopefully this is an easy one.
So, let's take this:
| Quote: |
| #say %ansi(gray) This is gray %ansi(bold,green) this is bold green, but %ansi(gray) this is no longer gray, but bold white. |
Is there a way to UNBOLD without needing to add a whole other ansi command? Something like the below?
| Quote: |
| #say %ansi(gray) This is gray %ansi(bold,green) this is bold green, but %ansi(unbold,gray) this is no longer gray, but bold white. |
I mean, I know that this works:
| Quote: |
| #say %ansi(gray) This is gray %ansi(bold,green) this is bold green, and %ansi(reset)%ansi(gray) this now gray again. |
But if I am really coloring something up, adding the whole additional %ansi(reset) each time i might go to an unbold color after a bold color is tedious. |

Honestly, i think thats just a quirk of the ansi coloring system.
Have you tried migrating to MXP?
| Code: |
| #SAY <color gray>This is gray</color> <color green> This is some green with a splash of <color red>red</color> in it.</color> |
then you can use any hexadecimal color you want #RRGGBB |

So, here's the thing. The above is simplified code, and i was trying to find a way to build a string, including ansi codes, and pass that to a #SAY, or to a #WINDOW, etc. The issue is that when pre-prepping the strings, just dropping the MXP codes or ansi codes into them, doesnt work because these need to pre-render and just adding them to a string to be passed to a display command just doesnt work.
After I wrote this post, I perfected a function I call colorize. With this function, I can make a string like this:
| Quote: |
| [gray]Hey! [yellow]username[gray] just stole your [green]backpack[gray]! You gonna let that stand?? |
And assign that to a string, using the right parms. then,
| Quote: |
$str="[gray]Hey! [yellow]"%1"[gray] just stole your [green]"%2"[gray]! You gonna let that stand??"
$newstr = @colorize($str)
#WIN windowName $newstr |
And I have an easy way to colorize strings for any occasion.
Anyways, once again, thank you for your assist.
As far as my colorize function:
| Quote: |
$newline = %-1
$green = %ansi(bold, green)
$cyan = %ansi(bold, cyan)
$blue = %ansi(bold, blue)
$red = %ansi(bold, red)
$magenta = %ansi(bold, magenta)
$brown = %ansi(reset)%ansi(brown)
$gray = %ansi(reset)%ansi(gray)
$yellow = %ansi(yellow)
$white = %ansi(white)
$lgreen = %ansi(reset)%ansi(green)
$lcyan = %ansi(reset)%ansi(cyan)
$lblue = %ansi(reset)%ansi(blue)
$lred = %ansi(reset)%ansi(red)
$lmagenta = %ansi(reset)%ansi(magenta)
$newline = %replace($newline,"[green]", $green)
$newline = %replace($newline,"[cyan]", $cyan)
$newline = %replace($newline,"[blue]", $blue)
$newline = %replace($newline,"[red]", $red)
$newline = %replace($newline,"[magenta]", $magenta)
$newline = %replace($newline,"[brown]", $brown)
$newline = %replace($newline,"[gray]", $gray)
$newline = %replace($newline,"[yellow]", $yellow)
$newline = %replace($newline,"[white]", $white)
$newline = %replace($newline,"[lgreen]", $lgreen)
$newline = %replace($newline,"[lcyan]", $lcyan)
$newline = %replace($newline,"[lblue]", $lblue)
$newline = %replace($newline,"[lred]", $lred)
$newline = %replace($newline,"[lmagenta]", $lmagenta)
#RETURN $newline
|
In the above function, I stick the actual escape codes generated by the %ascii into the string in place of the markers, which gives me a colorized string that works pretty much everywhere.
That's what I was trying to solve, and by adding the 'reset' into the color vars, it made the whole process easier for my needs. |

you can also use the hexidecimal codes for %ansi...
%ansi(41)HI THERE%ansi(reset) |
