Whenever i try to use it to resize text in any way. It works fine if it only appears once per block, but it seems to freak zMUD out when it happens multiple times. It seems to place the text at its original location instead where previous executions have pushed it further down the line, if not to the next line, it also has phantom repeats extending well past the block.

Here are some triggers causing these troubles:

#TRIGGER {({@SilverGryphons})} {#SUB {~<b>~<color #C0C0C0 #808000>%1~</color>~</b>}}

#TRIGGER {({@25})} {#SUB {%1 (+25)}}

Need more info.
Which version of zMUD (7.03 is out now)?
What's in the variables @SilverGryphons and @25?
Are you trying to replace text 5 chars wide with 3 chars and it's wrong, what exactly?
Examples of text before and after the triggers would help, too.

Using the latest 7.03

Ok the second trigger doesnt seem to be troubling me now, but the first still goes a bit wonky on me. but it seems to be only when a word or phrase fragment is highlighted to another color.

#TRIGGER {({@SilverGryphons})} {#SUB {~<b>~<color #808000 #C0C0C0>%1~</color>~</b>}}
#TR {ruby} {red}
#TR {black} {black}
#VAR SilverGryphons {a black enameled bracer with a silver gryphon set in a ruby circle}

Uh, okay, I'm multi-perplexed. Are you doing this with #sub just to get the bold and custom color? Otherwise #highlight or #color or one of its variants would probably be a better choice.

Perplexity #2: Why use a variable in that trigger? Why not just put the text in it instead? You're giving zMUD more to do this way, unless that variable's value changes regularly.

Perplexity #3: Am I reading this wrong, or do you want to send the command "black" every time you see the word "black" from the mud?

Perplexity #4: Ditto #3, but with "ruby"/"red" If you're intending for those to do #subs, they look a wee bit incorrect.

And all of this (if you keep using the sub) assumes you're familiar with MXP and its behavior... you never mentioned it, so I ask.

Details... Details are good.

1. I did it to bold the text
2. its a variable array, extra members were removed do to it being that item in particular messing it up
3&4. typo on my part... the command triggered should be #CW red or #CW black

and i am working to improve my knowledge of mxp

If it's just to bold, I'd use #Hi and ignore the MXP stuff.

I would but #HI seems to be inaptly described.
It seems to highlight the text in question and uses the bold color, i want the text it self to be bold, which makes the letters thicker.
Also #HI gets the whole line as opposed to just the fragment i want with:
#AC {{@GilverGryphons}} {#HI}

Make sure your ANSI Mapping prefs have Bold mapped to Bold font (default is Highlight color).
#TR {({@SilverGryphons})} {#CW bold,$C0C0C0,$808000}

thanks remapping the ansi works rather well

however this trigger is still giving me trouble, it just seemed to have worked for a day or two

#TRIGGER {({@25})} {#SUB {%1 (+25)}}
#VAR 25 {golvern|veil iron|sephwir|illthorn|krodera}

With the trigger turned off i get this output:

You are wearing a gold ring, some spike-soled sturdy black leather boots with polished veil iron toes, a tattooed white bunny entangled in a web and beset upon by a giant spider, an ancient battle satchel, a slightly malleable eggsack, a cobweb patched war-torn tabard bearing a black spider on a field of red, a burnished yierka-hide duster, an etched mithglin rune, some ornate veil iron gauntlets, a black enameled bracer with a silver gryphon set in a ruby circle, a veil iron spider beard clip with tiny ruby eyes, an exquisite veil iron earring of a black widow spider descending from a thread, an intricate chain of interlocking veil iron arachnids, a furry brown spider charm, a black turban shrouded in layers of gossamer spider-webbing, a speckled teal-crested lizard, some dark veil iron plate, some veil-iron spiked bracers, a pair of veil iron chausses, a ribbed spider sack, an undulating patch of sticky cobwebs, a chain mail battle-vest, a slender steel spike carved to resemble a leaf-bladed spear in the middle of his nose, a mirrored veil iron parma, a mithglin double-heart bracelet, a nine-stranded platinum braid band, a crystal amulet, a blackened veil iron toolkit, a petrified witchwood pipe clenched between his teeth, a sturdy black leather utility belt supporting various loops and spider-embroidered red silken pouches and a dark weblike bag.

But when i turn it on you can see how the errors fire from having to parse the trigger too many times:
