ansi Triggers
|
Hi, I've always had a major trouble with ansi color triggers, in that, while most people tell me to copy/paste into the trigger line, that never has worked, since back until I was using 4.62 (it worked then but not since). Is it possible I have changed some setting somewhere that would disallow it to work? Is there some special part you must turn on (besides clicking the ansi trigger box on the third tab) to make it work?
I'm getting a little tired lately of having to do an ansi log, then read through the lines of stuff, and compare, just to get what the color codes I'd like.
Also an odd note, when I paste the same thing into the value, it stays the colors it was (well slightly different shading, but you can tell what they were), for a second, before turning to all black. |

Make sure you have the ANSI option checked for the trigger before you paste the pattern in.

I have checked that over and over, done many combinations, of checking it, unchecking others, pasting. is there some setting, or some other program that may conflict with this? As I said I can only get this to work for 4.62, and I dislike having an older version installed just for that, (or logging just for it as well)
It's also not just the computer, as I've had the trouble for the last 4 computers I've had as well. |

Can you reproduce that with a brand new window? ie Did something get changed in the settings.
Guessing I'd check:
View->Preferences
Colors
\__Color Syntax
[ ] Syntax Enabled
Could it be that you have color syntax enabled with nothing in them so when you paste color codes it gets confused?
General
\__Emulation
[X] ANSI Color
As possible locations for what is different. |

Question of how you paste the trigger:

Kjata:
There are three ways in which you can paste the text with the control codes:
1. Click on the Pattern box and hit CTRL-V
2. Click on the Pattern box and click on Edit|Paste
3. Right-click on the Pattern box and select Paste
The first two work, while the third doesn't. I believe Zugg has mentioned in the paste that the behavior of the third method is the default behavior that an edit box has in Windows and he has no control over it.
Vijilante:
Fourth method is CTRL-Ins. That one is also governed by Windows and is beyond Zuggs control.

Kjata:
There are two ways of doing this:
1. Triggers have an option to Trigger on Line Color and you specify which color that would be. In this case, the trigger would only check for a match in the pattern if the line color is the one specified.
2. The other, more comples method, is to create an ANSI trigger. In theory this should be easy, but right now it isn't. What you need to know is the ANSI sequence that your MUD sends for the color you want. To do this, copy the line you want to trigger on (any red line in your case should do) and open the Editor (Window|Editor). Make sure that Options|Raw Mode is selected and paste the copied line into the editor. Now you will see the ANSI sequence used (they start with a rectangle-like character and end with an "m"). Finally, copy the sequence into the pattern box for your trigger and replace the "rectangle-like character" with %e in the pattern. Also, make sure the Ansi Trigger options is selected.

Failing that perhaps a hack to get the color:

Hopefully something from those searches points you into a good direction. |

The Raw mode with the editor window works
(Just a side note I was using Ctrl+V)
Thank you very much for your time. It cut out making a log file and opening it, which got tedious after a while, when I wanted to make multiple scripts. |

Sorry to keep on with a similar problem, but I'm having trouble getting this to work. It's the room description, and is in Bright Yellow.
I try Kjata's suggestion of using the editor window, which gives the following
[1;33mTreasure Chamber[0m
Then create an ANSI trigger and paste it in.
Should the trigger be
%e[1;33mTreasure Chamber%e[0m.
or
%e1;33mTreasure Chamber%e0m.
Neither actually work. Is the semi-colon causing problems or something?
thanks in advance |

forget the second one, unless you do begin/end line triggers
#trigger {%e[1;33mTreasure Chamber} {Whatever you want it to do} "ClassFolder" {color}
Should do what you want (replace the Whatever you want to do... with what you want it to do.. and class folder with the class it'll be in... or just make it "" if you want no class) |
