Good to know, didn't know there's such option. But yeah, I wanted to recolour based on damage. Anyway, I'm giving up MXP, and stick with the old way that works. :)

THanks!

Greetings,

Isn't there an option on the MUD itself to colour combat for you? ("options colour combat=<colour>", I think)
Or are you colouring the messages based on how severely you stab whatever you're fighting?
I wish I could help you with your trigger problem, but I thought I'd at least try and help as much as I can.

Good luck!

Everything works fine with the melee combat:

There's no MXP debug error/warning. Any idea where the problem lies, the mud server or the mud client, or me? And any suggestion on how to fix that? Thanks.

Did that, no warning/error whatsoever.

I created a plugin that simply send a ColourTell and a Note, and works flawless. Will try moving the whole lot into a plugin and see if it works.

Thanks for the quick reply!

The first thing I would do is go to the MXP world configuration tab, and set the MXP Debug Level to "warnings". Then reproduce the problem, and see if any errors or warnings are visible in the text window which may appear.

Seems I found another bug (or not). I have the following trigger:

<triggers>
<trigger
back_colour="8"
enabled="y"
group="Redirect - Chats"
match="*(*)*wisps*"
match_back_colour="y"
match_text_colour="y"
name="chat1Green"
omit_from_output="y"
script="redirect"
sequence="4"
text_colour="10"
>
</trigger>
</triggers>

After a ColourTell or ColourNote (or Note), a line with green on black colour code:

(One) Guest wisps: blablabla

won't be triggered. The line received after that goes back to normal.

Everything works fine with MXP disabled.

Cheers!

Might be on entirely different problem, but still on Discworld Mud (Pinkfish) and MXP.

When I send a text into the output using Note or ColourTell, if the next lines received is not colour coded (that is white on black), then those lines will follow the colour code of the previous Note or ColourTell.

For example, when I ColourTell("green", "black", "string"), then all the text received after that will also be green on black, as long as the text received is not colour coded.

It also happens after URLs that is passed through the Hyperlink_URL2, which uses ColourTell.

Is there anyway to close the colour tag after each ColourTell or Note? Or this is a problem with the mud server?

Thanks!

Now, you're saying that the USER_RED tags are supposed to be handled client-side? The page you gave me doesn't mention them, so I'm not sure how they are precisely defined.

It looks to me that the server is doing a simple text substitution of stuff like %^RED%^ and changing it to ESC [ 31 m, thus enabling you to sneak ANSI codes into your text easily. It certainly seems to be working for %^RESET%^.

Now if it didn't work for any client, I would say they have forgotten %^BLUE%^, but I can't explain why some clients work and some don't, apart from some odd code that, if it is MUSHclient, don't send the code for blue.

It looks to me that is isn't sending the colour codes. Check out this part:

erer.[39;49m.[m,   65 72 65 72 1b 5b 33 39 3b 34 39 6d 1b 5b 6d 2c

You can see that after "Thieves' Guild," there is no colour code before the words "Charming Pilferer". However after "Charming Pilferer" is "[39;49m" which is "ANSI set foreground default, ANSI set background default".

So, it is sending the reset but not the colour change.

Why, I don't know. Some server authors code in checks for the client type. You say it works for other clients, but as you can see from the packet dump the codes simply aren't there.

OK, thank you for the reference. Now, you're saying that the USER_RED tags are supposed to be handled client-side? The page you gave me doesn't mention them, so I'm not sure how they are precisely defined.

On the MUD where things work, do you have to first tell the MUD what you think USER_RED should be? e.g. setcolor USER_RED RED or whatever.

One thing you could try is to disable MXP support in MUSHclient and then see if you get colors. What might be happening is that they're detecting MUSHclient's MXP support, and then sending the "misbehaving" MXP tags that MUSHclient doesn't know how to handle.

The fact that it works on one MUD but not the other suggests strongly to me that the broken MUD is doing something wrong server-side. MUSHclient tends to be very picky about following standards precisely, so if they're doing something even subtly wrong it can lead to odd behavior.

At this point, the best would probably be for Nick to say if he's ever heard of these Pinkfish tags, and if he knows more than more about what's going on.

Here's an example: This player title should be colored. It should read,

You are Elusive Sprynx DeNightshade the Monitor of Prowlers of the Thieves' Guild, %^BLUE%^Charming Pilferer%^RESET%^, Reporter for the AM Daily, Arms Dealer.

making the "Charming Pilferer" portion blue. If I access the mud using telnet, everything is colored as it should be. If I use other mud clients, it also reflects properly. Of course, my client of choice is MUSHclient, so I hope there's a client-side solution I can implement.

I cannot answer your question precisely because you still haven't yet told me what Pinkfish MXP tags are. I guess that the other MUD isn't broken, but this MUD is broken and isn't parsing the tags correctly.

I strongly suspect that this is an issue with the MUD server, not MUSHclient. As I said, %^RED%^ is not an MXP tag and MUSHclient would have no idea what to do with it. The fact that the other one is working shows that the server is doing something different before sending the text to the client.

You could try turning on packet debugging and seeing what the working server is actually sending the client.

Even then... I was on a different mud that also used the %^RED%^ %^RESET%^ %^BOLD%^ format, and I viewed that just fine through mushclient. I can live without the user_blah tags, but what about the others? They should work, but don't.

To my knowledge, %^USER_BOLD%^ and %^USER_RED%^ are not valid MXP tags. Why do you expect these to get translated to color codes?

Is Pinkfish some kind of alternate MXP standard?
