How can i log text with colors

Colors are very important information
How to log them?



You probably can't log things you've colored yourself using #CW, #COLOR, or %ansi(). Can't hurt to try, but I seem to recall Zugg saying something about those color codes being processed internally and thus aren't part of the output sent to the MUD. Just a glimmer of a recollection, so I might be off by some degree.

Anyways, for colors coming from the MUD:

1)click on the giant Preferences button

2)click the expand/collapse box for the General entry.

3)in the list that appears, click on the Logging entry.

4)click the checkbox next to Log ANSI color

5)click OK, and your logs should start recording the color (unless it's broken, though I don't think it is).

Also, you should know that to view this log with colors later on, you need to open it in the zMUD editor. If you open it anywhere else, you will just see a lot of text mixed with ANSI codes.
