[1.34]That old %ansi bug
|
Remember that bug where the first %ansi on a line wasn't expanded? So this:
| #show %ansi(red)test %ansi(blue)test |
would give you
| Quote: |
| %ansi(red)test test |
Try the same thing in 1.34, but using #mxp instead of #show.
Why you'd want to use %ansi instead of <color> in this case is beyond me, but there you go. |

Make sure when using #MXP that you put the {} around the argument. I've seen that problem in several other posts on the board. Let me know if it still fails with the {}.

The functions aren't expanded at all with braces round the argument:
#mxp {%ansi(red)test %ansi(blue)test}
gives
%ansi(red)test %ansi(blue)test
If you specify the mode, it works though:
#mxp 1 {%ansi(red)test %ansi(blue)test} |

Ah Ha! Thanks for figuring that out Fang. That tells me exactly what the problem is :)

To me it seems that it's expanded no matter what is put before {}. Doesn't have to be one, like in the script I posted on the other forum, it expanded this
| Code: |
| #MXP Room: {<send>runto @DB4</send> - %ansi( green, high)%zonename( %roomzone( @DB4)) %ansi( blue, hign)%roomname( @DB4)%ansi( grey)} |
but not
| Code: |
| #MXP {<send>runto @DB4</send> - %ansi( green, high)%zonename( %roomzone( @DB4)) %ansi( blue, hign)%roomname( @DB4)%ansi( grey)} |

It isn't actually expanding properly. What 1.34 is doing is sending the entire argument to the command line, and the command line doesn't expand everything correctly. You should just wait until 2.0 is released which will fix it completely.
