On another note, can someone give me some kind of mud color chart, for my color triggers?
I'm using Zmud 6.25 and playing Genesis LPmud.
Thanks a bunch.

For ZMud-native color codes:




black	        0


blue	        1


green	        2


cyan	        3


red	        4


magenta	        5


brown	        6


light gray	7


dark gray       8


bright blue     9


bright green    10


bright cyan     11


bright red      12


bright magenta  13


yellow	        14


white	        15


bold	        128

to make a color brighter, add 8 to the base value. For example, 9 is bright blue. To change the background color, rather than the foreground, multiply the base value by 16. For example, to get a red background, use 4*16 or 64. To make the foreground font bold, add 128 to the value.

Thus, a bold white on a blue background would be 128 + 1*16 + 15 = 159.

You also have MXP you can use to color text, via the color tag (which I believe uses the RGB value instead of referencing a color register, of which there are only 16). Haven't used it yet, so I have no idea of its reliability or syntax.

alright, I'm currently coding a log colorizing script in PHP, so I found this little list to be quite useful. Until I looked at my logs with the colors shown. It told me that ANSI 31 = Bright Blue. Which is obviously not what you listed. I was wondering if there's another char that needs to be used, or if there's some other problem. I'll probably just end up determining what each color in the MUD spits out in ANSI, and formulating my own chart.

Like Matt said, those are zMUD-native colors. ANSI control codes have their own set of numbers. You can search around the 'Net for these, they are easy to find, and they will be the same as your MUD uses since all MUDs must use standard ANSI codes, so that you will see the color.

ahhhh, thanks :D

for anyone in the same boat as me, here's a list of ANSI control characters:
