Oh sorry. The bold thing isn't my issue right now. I guess I'm looking just at the 38;5 thing.

I am reluctant to fiddle with the colour-handling, particularly when there is code there that would do it, if it hadn't been commented out. That's a pretty sure sign that there is another subtle bug awaiting someone if it is changed.

If, when this bug was reported, there was a simple fix, I am sure I would have done the fix. As it is, I can't even remember what the bug is exactly.

Note a huge deal, I guess. I just tried using AnsiNote on 256ified data, and had to figure out the problem and then change the display method after mining the forum and re-finding this thread.

LOL. I just found this thread again. Same xterm 256 color reason. Why again does AnsiNote interpret xterm colors differently than Simulate?

I'm not sure. That code was written in April 2003.

As I recall the idea of AnsiNote was to make it easy to inject ANSI sequences into your notes. However it doesn't go through the lengthy state machine that normal input (including Simulate) does. Basically the "usual" ANSI sequences were turned into the equivalent foreground/background colours. It may have bugs compared to the "main" state machine.

Judging by the release notes it was specifically written to support the Chat interface, where incoming chats had ANSI sequences in them, but were handled by scripts, and not the main "incoming MUD data" state machine.

Changing it now could be problematic. It might fix your problems but cause ones for others who are used to how it works now.

Why do you need to use it anyway?

Currently xterm color just doesn't work. Wouldn't unifying with the other way keep the other bits working still and just make this work too?

I don't remember why I wanted to use it last time, but apparently I keep wanting to piece together ansi sequences without looping over colourtell. In this instance I was going to make a trigger to replace all server output with random ansi colors.

If I execute:


Simulate(ANSI(38,5,226).."aaa"..ANSI(31,1).."bbb")
Simulate(ANSI(33,1).."ccc"..ANSI(31,1).."ddd")

aaa and ccc are the same colors (as expected), but bbb and ddd are not. bbb is not showing up as bold even though I have ,1 in there. Why?

Fixed in version 4.95.
