I want a very simple alias that allways me to change the color of text during a battle ect..as well as other uses..
I just cant get them to work..this is what i want it for..precisely.

<sent to mud>
gt heal please

<want i want sent>
gt {Rheal please{x

I want the text bright red so it can be seen against the normal white of the battle text.

but no matter how i try and rephrase everything nothing works..what am i doing wrong? or not doing..
please can someone help me with this i have absolutely no programming exp..(seeing examples of other aliases on here i may need it) so if someone could help..PLEASE..(begs nicely)

It's not exactly clear what you want here, in my book "sent to mud" and "want i want sent" are the same thing.

There are three things that are different here:

  1. What you type (eg. HP for Heal Please)
  2. What gets sent to the MUD (eg. gt heal please)
  3. What you actually see on your screen (eg. heal please in red)


It isn't clear if you want the different colours on your own screen, or for everyone to see.

Assuming you want the others to see it in red so they notice it, you want an alias like this:

Match: HP (Heal please, nice and quick to type)
Send: gt {Rheal please{x
