Caemlyn Central Square
You are in a large stone square, right in the middle of Caemlyn's outer
city. You see a wide boulevard to the north, and the path to the inner
city. There are a number of shops around you. The density of the population
is really quite incredible. It's almost impossible to relax as you are
being constantly bumped and jostled. From here you can really get a good
view of the outer city, and this just makes you appreciate the older inner
city all the more.
A large banner hangs nearby, depicting a map of Caemlyn's outer city.

A fountain is here, offering water to all.
An oil lamp, set in a steel cage, hangs from a high wooden pole.

Baryn the warrior of Two Rivers is standing here.
A warhorse is here, stamping his feet impatiently, being ridden by Groost.
Groost M'Dogal, Merry Muffin Man Extraordinaire is standing here, riding a warhorse.

.....

Any experts can help me in writing a script so that the room title (seen here as Caemlyn Central Square), in the color cyan, while the room description in dark cyan. And not just this room, but it will do that to every other room that I walk into.... is it possible?

Here is another room example...

* HP:Critical SP:Bursting MV:Haggard > s
A Traveller's Shop
This small shop offers a wide array of items that would be useful to the
frequent traveller. Apparently not the most lucrative of businesses, but they
do sell some fairly important stuff. There is an odd array of junk on display
and the owner apparently has no illusions as to the value of his product.
A small sign hangs from the wall.

The corpse of Dullin is lying here.
Nalis the rogue of the Borderlands is standing here.
A stout looking guard is here, walking the streets of Caemlyn.

Oh, I forgot to mention, the [ obvious exits: N E S W ] I want it in regular white texts... oh and HP: SP: and MV: in red =),

See if this works...

#trigger {^~* HP~:%w SP~:%w MV~:%w ~>%*$} {pos=%len(%trigger);#sub {%insert("<color cyan black>", %trigger, pos)};#temp {^%*$} {pos=%len(%trigger);#sub {%insert("</color><color darkcyan black>", %trigger, pos)}}}
#trigger {~[ obvious exits~:%*~]} {#sub {%insert("</color>", %trigger, 1)}}

What it does is looks for the prompt, adds a mxptag to make the text cyan, and a 1 time trigger to fire on a line recieved, which should fire on the room name (assuming always 1 line) that will close the color tag then create a new mxp tag that colors the text darkcyan. The second trigger looks for the exits line and adds a color close tag at the beginning of that line. If it doesn't quite work, since it's untested, feel free to toy with it a bit.

Hmm, the original doesn't work, but then I change it so the it fire on prompt and it does. But one problem, it colors everything cyan, from the new prompt that was created by me moving, to the prompt that end in the new room I move in. Is there a way for it to color the room title in a lighter shade of cyan? Leave the room description the same cyan color you have now, and change it so that it stop coloring at the Obvious exits part?

Charbal has the color from
what appears to be that mud from the above link.

#TRIGGER RoomRecolorer {%e[36m*%e[0m$} {#COLOR 11;#TEMP RoomRecolorerExit {^~[ obvious exits~: *~]} {#COLOR 15;#STATE RoomRecolorer 0}} {color}
#CONDITION RoomRecolorer {} {#COLOR 3} {loopat|param=99}

#TRIGGER {^~* (HP)~:%w (SP)~:%w (MV)~:%w ~>} {#PCOL mxpred %x1;#PCOL mxpred %x2;#PCOL mxpred %x3}

Untested but the concept should be close.

I used the one you just posted, but it just said syntax error when I go into zMUD...

I should point out, I just realized a major flaw in my triggers. The way I first had it is assuming you are always seeing the roomname and desc after every prompt. To fix this, you could create an alias that encapsules it as 'look', which creates the triggers, then on the second trigger, at the end, untriggers them... ie:

#alias {look} {#trigger {^~* HP~:%w SP~:%w MV~:%w ~>%*$} {pos=%len(%trigger);#sub {%insert("<color cyan black>", %trigger, pos)};#temp {^%*$} {pos=%len(%trigger);#sub {%insert("</color><color darkcyan black>", %trigger, pos)}}};#trigger {~[ obvious exits~:%*~]} {#sub {%insert("</color>", %trigger, 1)};#untrigger {^~* HP~:%w SP~:%w MV~:%w ~>%*$};#untrigger {~[ obvious exits~:%*~]}}}

This new alias would only work if you typed look, leaving auto-looking untouched. If anyone wants to expand upon my thought here, I'd be most appreciative. As per the other colors (you added while I was writing something as a response), you could look into the use of #PCOL and as per 'plain white' for the exits, the end mxptag removes all colorizing done by the triggers.

A second trigger could easily take care of your prompt, something like...
#trigger {~* (%w)~:%w (%w)~:%w (%w)~:%w ~>} {#pcol red %x1;#pcol red %x2;#pcol red %x3}
would take care of just the HP, SP, and MV whereas...

#trigger {~* (%w)~:(%w) (%w)~:(%w) (%w)~:(%w) ~>} {#pcol red %x1;#pcol red %x2;#pcol red %x3;#pcol red %x4;#pcol red %x5;#pcol red %x6}
would allow you to make a seperate color for HP, SP, MV, as well as the other words.

The page I use to get a good sample of the many colors available through mxp is at http://st-ives.net/dlv/html/colorsamples.html which allows you to hover over a color and the whole background goes to that color giving a good example. Alot more color exists than just the 16 colors on ansi.

Just finished cleaning it up, where does the error show?

If you edit the triggers in the settings editor what syntax error shows?

As per the room name on a new line, please see the topic at http://www.zuggsoft.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=10458&FORUM_ID=7&CAT_ID=1&Topic_Title=Help+with+Prompt%2FNewline+scripting%2E&Forum_Title=zMUD+General+Discussion as that's a thread i had about moving it around so that everything gets it's own line.

Hrm it should have colorized the name and the desc... if I weren't on my way to bed i'd see if i could log on and try. If this is still unanswered by tonight, I'll see about logging on so I can get a better idea and test it out myself.

Ok, had to fix something, instead of triggers/untriggers i kick myself for not switching to temps. And I forgot the all important part at the end (highlighted in red to show everyone how big a moron I am).

#alias {look} {#temp {^~* HP~:%w SP~:%w MV~:%w ~>%*$} {pos=%len(%trigger);#sub {%insert("<color cyan black>", %trigger, pos)};#temp {^%*$} {pos=%len(%trigger);#sub {%insert("</color><color darkcyan black>", %trigger, pos)}}};#temp {~[ obvious exits~:%*~]} {#sub {%insert("</color>", %trigger, 1)}};~look}

What it does is sets up the 1 time triggers, looks, colorizes as it goes, and as the triggers fire, it should remove them (without adding an extra line telling you so). If this doesn't work, what's the host/port, and I'll see if I can do better either in about 6-7 hours when I wake up, or in 16 hours when I'm off work again.

Hey, PHLN. I don't play on Charbal much anymore (old warrior with subpar stats in today's WoTMUD :P) but Kalos is quite active.

Anyway, this works in zMUD 6.53 and should work fine in 6.40:

#CLASS {RoomRecolor}
#VAR TitleColor {cyan,bright}
#VAR DescriptionColor {cyan}
#TRIGGER "roomrecolor" {%e[36m(*)%e[0m$} {#IF ("%1" =~ "%w speaks from the ") {#NOOP} {#CW @TitleColor;#STATE roomrecolor 1}} "" {manual|color}
#COND "roomrecolor" {^(*)$} {#IF ("%1" =~ "~[ obvious exits: ") {#STATE roomrecolor 0} {#COLOR @DescriptionColor}} {manual}
#CLASS 0

If you are still using 6.16 (you didn't say), this should do the trick:

#CLASS {RoomRecolor}
#VAR TitleColor {cyan,bright}
#VAR DescriptionColor {cyan}
#VAR Roomname %null
#TRIGGER {%e[36m(*)%e[0m$} {#IF ("%1" =~ "%w speaks from the ") {#NOOP} {#CW @TitleColor;#VARIABLE Roomname "%1";#T+ {RoomRecolor|Description}}} "" {color}
#CLASS {RoomRecolor|Description} {disable}
#TRIGGER {^(*)$} {#IF ("%1" =~ @Roomname) {#ABORT 1};#IF ("%1" =~ "~[ obvious exits: ") {#T- {RoomRecolor|Description}} {#COLOR @DescriptionColor}}
#CLASS 0
#T- {RoomRecolor|Description}

Both scripts take into account something you didn't mention... that immortals speaking (like Aennor speaks from the Light 'blah blah blah') show up in the same color as the room name.

And if anyone is still wondering, it's www.wotmud.org, port 2222.

w00t, it work, but... hehe, I was wondering why it only work when I type 'color complete' as the setting? This setting work great, but it is annoying how mobs and objects etc in the room is colors.

Anyway to have them as plain white?

(PS: but still have the enemy race in the red color that they have now?), thanks again for everyone help, Ton, Drylar and Charbal

oh, and do you know why sometime the first line of the text isn't color eventhough it is in the room description?

Middle of a Wide Boulevard
This is the middle of a wide boulevard that runs east and west across Caemlyn.
The boulevard is bisected by a strip of grass and a row of trees which run its
length. The sheer noise of crowded Caemlyn is overwhelming, almost a dull
roar. To the north is a paved road which leads into the Inner City. To the
south is an open square and a cluster of shops.
[ obvious exits: N E S W ]

"This is the middle of a wide boulevard that runs east and west across Caemlyn." is a room description, but rather than having the same dark cyan as the rest, it is white, white the room title is correctly cyan.

* HP:Healthy MV:Fresh > A Wide Boulevard
You are on a wide boulevard that stretches all the way across Caemlyn. The
extremely wide road is cut in the middle by a strip of grass with trees evenly
placed along the street. You see people scurrying about in a mad rush. A
stairway leads up here onto a skywalk that runs over the entire Inner City.

"You are on a wide boulevard that stretches all the way across Caemlyn. The" have the same problem, it is in white which it shouldn't be.

Oh, and hehe, sorry for asking for so much help, but is there a way to stop the room title from being in the same line as the prompt?

if anyone can help me figure out why it doesn't color all the room description sometime..like it miss a line or two, that would be cool

Well, what version of zMUD and which script are you using?

As for requiring color complete, that's really the best way to distinguish a room name from other text on WoTMUD. To cause other things to not be colored, you could either use more triggers to change their colors back to the default or change the foreground mapping so their color is the same as the default. This latter option is accomplished by View, Preferences, Colors..., click the + next to Colors, Foreground Mapping and then clicking on the current color and changing it to the default color.
