Color Codes
|
Hello All. I'm currently playing a MUD that doesn't send standard ANSI Escape sequences to signify color. The MUD sends stuff like ^YYellow and ^yDarkYellow. How can I set up zMUD to automatically change the incoming texts (^Y ^R ^G etc etc) to color?
Also, I would need to have anything that I send with the ^Y not be changed, as the server wouldn't know what to do. (ie: don't convert outgoing streams to ANSI codes)
Thanks in advance,
Jamie R. McPeek |

Can you give me an example of how I would set it up to work from the moment I connect to the MUD? Like, where would I put it? and perhaps an example of a way to change
text: ^YThis should be yellow.^N and now white.
to This should be yellow. and now white. |

he means, just make a trigger for it.
#sub {~^Y} {%ansi(High,Yellow)}
or you could use #co, but that might get confusing.
You could creat a class just for coloring.
Type right into the command line or use the editor. something like so...
#class Color
#sub {~^Y} {%ansi(high,Green)}
#sub {^N} {%ansi(High,white)}
#class 0
use this to start with then if you want to add a color
#sub {^G} {%ansi(high,green)} color
and this will set it up for you |

Okay, so the trigger I am using is:
Pattern: ~^Y(*)
Value: #sub %ansi(High, Yellow)(%1)
This turns the line yellow, but puts () around everything. If I remove the () from %1, the color does not change.
How can I resolve this?
RESOLVED: #sub {%ansi(High, Yellow)%1} |

Also, now that I've added more colors, I've noticed another problem..
Text: ^YDelphi ^N ^YGabriel ^N ^YSatan
Result: (Delphi (^YGabriel ^N ^YSatan))
Is there a way to check for nested coloring codes? |

Fred,
using that pattern and value results in..
Text: ^YAt Recall
Result: At Recall
Basically just strips the ^Y and replaces that spot with color? It doesn't color any text after it. |

This is the correct
#trigger {^Y(*)} {#sub {%ansi(high,yellow)%1}}
Sorry for the confusion eairlier, I have tested this and it does work. |

magamog75:
You are correct, this trigger will work to some extent, though it comes by severe errors. Please look at my other thread, fulling explaining my new problem:
http://www.emobius.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=17302&sid=73dc7a8fa555815dcf858f047a0287a5
Do you think (or anyone else) that it would be possible to create a solution using #PCOL or #PSUB that could be used to work with the nested color codes from the server, as long as there were less than 99? (I think that's how many PCOL/PSUB XStart XEnd that exist.) |

This sounds similar to your issue. See Vijilante's entry at the bottom, specifically
| Quote: |
zMud triggers fire once per line and your example shows multiple 'command packets' per line. This will require that the data be parsed out.
|
I'm pretty sure this holds true for your multiple color tags per line as well. |

Since Vijilante said a trigger will only fire once per line, I staggered multiple copies of the triggers like this:
| Code: |
#TR y1 {~^Y(*)} {#SUB {%ansi(high,yellow)%1}}
#TR n1 {~^N(*)} {#SUB {%ansi(white)%1}}
#TR y2 {~^Y(*)} {#SUB {%ansi(high,yellow)%1}}
#TR n2 {~^N(*)} {#SUB {%ansi(white)%1}}
#TR y3 {~^Y(*)} {#SUB {%ansi(high,yellow)%1}}
#TR n3 {~^N(*)} {#SUB {%ansi(white)%1}}
|
#SH ^YThis ^N is ^Ya ^N Test
This is a Test
#SH ^YThis should be yellow.^N and now white.
This should be yellow. and now white.
However, it failed when I switched the tags.
#SH ^NThis ^Y is ^Na ^Y Test
This is a Test
I tested other colors as well.
#TR {~^G(*)} {#SUB {%ansi(high,green)%1}}
For example,
#SH ^GThis ^N is ^Ga ^N test
This is a Test
#SH ^YThis ^G is ^Ya ^G test
This is a Test
works fine. But, switching tags around reveals a color priority:
#SH ^NThis ^G is a ^Y test
This is a test
#SH ^NThis ^Y is a ^G test
This is a test
#SH ^GThis ^Y is a ^N test
This is a test
#SH ^GThis ^N is a ^Y test
This is a test
#SH ^YThis ^G is a ^N test
This is a test
#SH ^YThis ^N is a ^G test
Thisis a test
Color priority appears to be white, green, yellow (meaning white will overwrite green and yellow, green will overwrite yellow) until I tried this:
#SH ^YThis ^G is ^Na ^Y test
This is a test
It remembered yellow and colored it. Swapping ^G and ^Y loses all yellow.
I tested 5 colors: blue, white, red, green, yellow. That's the apparent order of preference. This will work correctly:
#SH ^YThis ^G is ^Ra ^N test ^B trying ^Yto ^Gfind ^Rcolor ^Npriority
This is a test trying to find color priority
The only other pattern I found was that when you repeat a color it restarts the color priority.
So, a 2nd ^Red will have priority over a 2nd lesser color: ^Y ^G ^R ^Y ^R ^G
While a 3rd lesser color gets priority over a higher color only listed twice: ^Y ^G ^R ^Y ^Y ^R
Here's the trigger sequence I finished with:
| Code: |
#CLASS SubColors
#CLASS TempStuff
#TR y1 {~^Y(*)} {#SUB {%ansi( high, yellow)%1}}
#TR g1 {~^G(*)} {#SUB {%ansi( high, green)%1}}
#TR r1 {~^R(*)} {#SUB {%ansi( high, red)%1}}
#TR n1 {~^N(*)} {#SUB {%ansi( white)%1}}
#TR b1 {~^B(*)} {#SUB {%ansi( high, blue)%1}}
#CLASS 0
|
Again, any colors out of priority sequence will be overwritten by the higher value color or the more repeated color. Make sure to change the names if you create more copies.
Maybe a Guru has more info on this.
{edited to add trigger names} |

Oh, yeah. Make sure you set your Settings Editor to
View > Sort by... > None
to keep the shown order. |

Or Just take each line and parse it yourself with replaces :P Only downfall is that this compares Everything but if everyline contains color codes this is your best bet. (I added a space at all the %ansi so the forum wraps properly just remove the spaces to get rid of the syntax error)
#TR {^(*)$} {#SUB %replace(%replace(%replace(%replace("%1",^B, %ansi(high,blue),^R, %ansi(high,red)),^G, %ansi(high,green)),^Y, %ansi(high,yellow))} |

ok What I came up with is more than a simple Sub, I used a script I wrote for creating code and just rewrote it for you problem.
I have tested it on every example you have givin, and it works without fail.
copy and past this to your command line
| Code: |
#CLASS {Colors}
#VAR colurs {}
#VAR colors {}
#TRIGGER {~^(*)} {colurs="";colors="";#var colurs %replace({%1},"^","|");#forall @colurs {#if %left(%i,1)=N {#var colors %additem(%ansi(high,white)%right(%i,1),@colors)};#if %left(%i,1)=R {#var colors %additem(%ansi(high,red)%right(%i,1),@colors)};#if %left(%i,1)=G {#var colors %additem(%ansi(high,green)%right(%i,1),@colors)};#if %left(%i,1)=B {#var colors %additem(%ansi(high,blue)%right(%i,1),@colors)};#if %left(%i,1)=Y {#var colors %additem(%ansi(high,yellow)%right(%i,1),@colors)}};#sub %replace(@colors,"|"," ")}
#CLASS 0 |
If you have anymore, Just ask hehehehehehehehehehe |

It appears I was a bit hasty in the assumption that things were working correctly. However, when I started actually using the triggers...things got a little weird.

megamog or others, do you think it's possible to fix this somehow? Otherwise, I will result to creating a proxy-gateway to convert the ^y to ANSI Escape sequences so they're properly picked up by zMUD...but I would rather not do that just for a game. Also, it doesn't show up in here because HTML won't allow it, but every time it matches ^* it removes that string, and leaves an extra space...so ^GGreen^N House would be Green__House with _ = space.
Thanks in advance for all the help and effort from everyone!
[EDIT]
Okay, using nextela's embedded replace method, I was able to solve all the problems that came with megamog's (very much thanks anyway!!) method. I believe this thread to be solved as is and again thank everyone very much for their time and effort.

hey in all fareness, I did not incounter the problems you did.
I saw the double spacing in my testing, however the script I wrote was the cause of that it was not made to take into account for an actual space to follow the color code.
But i did not see this flag problem you had, I am glad you fixed it and evern glader I had a chance to see Nexla's script.
Whish I could have helped more. |
