This may have been answered elsewhere but under a different name.

I'm trying to find out if there is a way to get Zmud to route conversations from other players in a mud to a separate window in order to keep track of conversations in massive screen scroll. I play Majormud and don't like using megamud, which reroutes conversations automatically.

This would really only have to recognize just a few strings of text, such as "<player> gossips:" and "<player> says:" in order to be effective. All the speech is also colour coded - purple for gossip, green for talking, white for tells.

You need the #cap command.

#trig {^%w gossips:} {#cap comm}
#trig {^%w says:} {#cap comm}

Is there a way to get it to recognize colours? Gossips are always in purple, tells in white, and so on. I don't want to just cap 3 lines if there is not 3 lines of gossip or tell. And I want it to cap the lines below not the lines on top. Is there any way to do this?

I've done this exact same thing. I found that the colours were automatically snagged and put into the communications window. Also, a line of communications is usually literally a single line. This means that the #cap command should catch the whole gossip/say/etc.

For your first question, yes. Colours are sent using ANSI colour codes, and if you set the ANSI Trigger option, your trigger will match them. If you paste text copied from the output window into the pattern box when the ANSI Trigger option is on, the codes will be added automatically. They're in the format %e[12m where 12 is a number representing that colour.
