Semish newbie, needs a little help.
 
I have two problems the first is not a big one, just an annoying one, the second is a huge problem for me, so here I go.

Problem 1)

I play a mud which has no color, so I trigger words with #CW (color name),
but then let's say if I trigger "up" with the color cyan.. then any word containing the letters "up" will be cyan. I want only that spesific word to be colored how do I do that ?.

(Problem 1.1)

There are so many color name, I could REALLY use a color wheel which shows me the color and color name so I don't have to test out 70 different colors to find something I think is fitting for what I need it for.

Problem 2 (This I REALLY need help with)

I of course like many have trouble remembering the paths of an entire mud so I use the zmud mapper. With that comes a few problems.

1) The rooms changes names if there is fog, light, dark (dark as in dark not totaly black) and hence if I am in the middle of mapping it will start overriding old rooms, and I can no longer speed walk, nor can I map the damned area.

2) In just regular follow mode, the zmud mapper will decide to not bother to follow my steps. so if I walk from any room to any other room it will not follow it on the map, so mapwise I'm still standing in the same room, even if I traveled the entire mapped globe.

Does anyone know how to remedy this, or perhaps have a script which I could use.

I don't care about room names etc. I just want

1) That zmud maps the damned room I got to no matter what it is called

2) That zmud follows where I walk when I am mapping or just plain walking.

Regards
Mikael aka Ethemos

PS: Thank you for any help you can provide.

#TR {%qup%q} {#CW blah}

surrounding the stuff in %q will usually work

you can use hexidecimal colors as well if you want, #123456

Could you provide some examples of how the room name changes in various situations?

For Problem 1.1
Yes I actually DID this. I had wanted the same thing. To know what each color looked like:

This should do exactly the same as Vitae's script but is a bit more compact.
Code:
#CLASS {ColourWheel}
#ALIAS ColourTest {#var Colours {%replace(@Colours," remove me |","")}
#forall @Colours {:1:#sayprompt <color %i>%i</color>%char(32)};%cr}
#VAR Colours {aliceblue|antiquewhite|aqua|aquamarine|azure|beige|bisque|black|blanchedalmond|blue|blueviolet|brown| remove me |burlywood|cadetblue|chartreuse|chocolate|coral|cornflowerblue|cornsilk|crimson|cyan|darkblue|darkcyan|darkgoldenrod| remove me |darkgray|darkgreen|darkkhaki|darkmagenta|darkolivegreen|darkorange|darkorchid|darkred|darksalmon|darkseagreen|darkslateblue|darkslategray| remove me |darkturquoise|darkviolet|deeppink|deepskyblue|dimgray|dodgerblue|firebrick|floralwhite|forestgreen|fuchsia|gainsboro|ghostwhite| remove me |gold|goldenrod|gray|green|greenyellow|honeydew|hotpink|indianred|indigo|ivory|khaki|lavender| remove me |lavenderblush|lawngreen|lemonchiffon|lightblue|lightcoral|lightcyan|lightgoldenrodyellow|lightgreen|lightgrey|lightpink|lightsalmon|lightseagreen| remove me |lightskyblue|lightslategray|lightsteelblue|lightyellow|lime|limegreen|linen|magenta|maroon|mediumaquamarine|mediumblue|mediumorchid| remove me |mediumpurple|mediumseagreen|mediumslateblue|mediumspringgreen|mediumturquoise|mediumvioletred|midnightblue|mintcream|mistyrose|moccasin|navajowhite|navy| remove me |oldlace|olive|olivedrab|orange|orangered|orchid|palegoldenrod|palegreen|paleturquoise|palevioletred|papayawhip|peachpuff| remove me |peru|pink|plum|powderblue|purple|red|rosybrown|royalblue|saddlebrown|salmon|sandybrown|seagreen| remove me |seashell|sienna|silver|skyblue|slateblue|slategray|snow|springgreen|steelblue|tan|teal|thistle| remove me |tomato|turquoise|violet|wheat|white|whitesmoke|yellow|yellowgreen}

Ignore the syntax error in the editor as the script still works

however with the error it doesnt import properly just so you know.

This is basically due to the < symbol being used for one thing or another. Try This

Code:
#ALIAS ColourTest {
  #var Colours {%replace( @Colours, " remove me |", "")}
  #forall @Colours {:1:#sayprompt ~<color %i~>%i~</color~>%char( 32)}
  %cr
  }
#VAR Colours {aliceblue|antiquewhite|aqua|aquamarine|azure|beige|bisque|black|blanchedalmond|blue|blueviolet|brown|burlywood|cadetblue|chartreuse|chocolate|coral|cornflowerblue|cornsilk|crimson|cyan|darkblue|darkcyan|darkgoldenrod|darkgray|darkgreen|darkkhaki|darkmagenta|darkolivegreen|darkorange|darkorchid|darkred|darksalmon|darkseagreen|darkslateblue|darkslategray|darkturquoise|darkviolet|deeppink|deepskyblue|dimgray|dodgerblue|firebrick|floralwhite|forestgreen|fuchsia|gainsboro|ghostwhite|gold|goldenrod|gray|green|greenyellow|honeydew|hotpink|indianred|indigo|ivory|khaki|lavender|lavenderblush|lawngreen|lemonchiffon|lightblue|lightcoral|lightcyan|lightgoldenrodyellow|lightgreen|lightgrey|lightpink|lightsalmon|lightseagreen|lightskyblue|lightslategray|lightsteelblue|lightyellow|lime|limegreen|linen|magenta|maroon|mediumaquamarine|mediumblue|mediumorchid|mediumpurple|mediumseagreen|mediumslateblue|mediumspringgreen|mediumturquoise|mediumvioletred|midnightblue|mintcream|mistyrose|moccasin|navajowhite|navy|oldlace|olive|olivedrab|orange|orangered|orchid|palegoldenrod|palegreen|paleturquoise|palevioletred|papayawhip|peachpuff|peru|pink|plum|powderblue|purple|red|rosybrown|royalblue|saddlebrown|salmon|sandybrown|seagreen|seashell|sienna|silver|skyblue|slateblue|slategray|snow|springgreen|steelblue|tan|teal|thistle|tomato|turquoise|violet|wheat|white|whitesmoke|yellow|yellowgreen}

Very well done edb6377 =) now you might see why I added the " remove me " items to the list.. one long list without any spaces really really screws up the display =)

bleh, buncha show offs :-P
Just kidding. The only reason I'd even made that was to help someone else who wanted to set up a color scheme. So i never thought of an easier way.
This new one works faster too :-)
