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.

Open Settings editor
Button drop down new trigger.
Click Options tab

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.

The first box (Synax Enabled) Was unchecked
And the second (ANSI Color) Was checked

I even just now made a new window (#capture neWindow 5)
And tried it with a few of those colored lines... (the new window had no settings yet)

I have also tried new muds (from the mud list) creating completely new settings files with MAIN windows...
still no luck :(

Question of how you paste the trigger:

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)
