[1.09] PCOL
 
Umm, the update list says you fixed pcol... it seems that you have made it even worse.

ex:
Code:

Pattern:
Your competent * ({thrashes}) *, leaving marks!
Code:
#PCOL 0x5555FF %x1
Result:
Your competent pierce          a gold maiden, leaving marks!

You need to put the 0x5555FF value in quotes. Seems to be a problem with parsing color values.

So come on...it's not "worse"...it's just different. Using a proper color name like:

#PCOL red %x1

works fine.

Nevermind, using quotes around it doesn't work either. Using a normal color like "red" works, but other colors seem to be having problems at the moment.

Yeah, that's what I found too. Basically, a variable was uninitialized, so you are getting a random color, which just happens to be a color that increments it's value each time it is used. I also found it to be an amusing effect ;)

There are still problems with PCOL in 1.10. Do you need examples?

If there are still problems in 1.10, then post specifics. It seems to work fine in my tests here.

With colors like red or yellow there is no problem. But if you use the special colors like goldenrod the y value of 1 goes to black. Line 0 colors correctly irregardless.
Code:
#show This is line one.
#show This is line two.
#pcol red 0 100 1 0
#show This is line three.
#show This is line Four.
#pcol goldenrod 0 100 1 0

Interesting. This was a bug in zMUD too. It's fixed for v1.11 now.

Yep. But the last time I was able to help with Zmud beta testing I didn't know how to use pcol.
