I already have my ansi title ready, I even added it to the greeting helpfile, but for some reason it won't work. I get the title screen as if it should show all the coding, like &W and &z.
Anyone mind helping me on this one?

You have to define send_to_char as send_to_char_color, it's explained in the Smaug docs. It's also been answered here, so do a search.

I looked at it, and I'm not enitrely sure if mine is the same as how Nick Gammon explain it. Because he said hit CTRL V ESC or CTRL ESC or something to get a ^[ to appear, but when I checked my color.h file it said that I had to type \e in front of it...

Correct me if I misunderstood something.

Yes, just moments after I post I post again. This time the code is gone, but the color still is gone as well, so I begin to try again.

What did you change already? You should be able to modify it to print the colors by changing this:
        /*
         * Send the greeting.
         */

        {
                extern char *help_greeting;

                if (help_greeting[0] == '.')
                        send_to_desc_color(help_greeting + 1, dnew);
                else
                        send_to_desc_color(help_greeting, dnew);

        }

After working on my title for a bit unsucessfully past my last point, actually degrading in some points, I did a reboot mud now. After this reboot, it wouldn't allow me to reconnect the server. Not the best thing to happen.

Why is it not working? Is it not loaded, or does it crash when it loads? Try using GDB to see whats happening.

I suggest using a normal notpad program of some sort to edit the greeting..


^ ^ ^ ^
|..|..|..|
|..|..|. Color of text
|..|. 0 = not bright 1 = bright
|. Prevent color bleed
escape char

Where would I edit this?

It crashes when it loads.

*Doesn't know what GDB is*

It says Reading in area files or something then it crashes.

Ok, how do I make the ESC char then? Everywhere I look it says type CTRL ESC and that just switches my windows.

Thank you Zeno for the GDB info, but what does it do?

I must've made myself look extremely stupid thanks to my slow computer, by now you've typed something new too I bet.

I don't know how to make an ESC character in Windows, only in *nix.

GDB is a debugger, it'll tell you whats wrong.

You shouldn't have to use the manual color, if you use sent_to_desc_color, it will convert the color codes for you.

I also guess I can't get GDB for now, otherwise I'd have to wait for a day or two for my computer to reload.
