NEWBIE QUESTION: *giggle* ok, can someone tell me how circle uses ansi color, ie I am trying to do this 15h|24m|10v> you are facing a red dragon. as you can see this chr is in BIG trouble, assuming he had 100 points for h, m, and moves how would I make them red? ie if hit =< 75% of max_hit then color=yellow if hit =< 25% of max_hit then color=red so the color of the prompt will show your condition, would I have to make a sepret void? one for non ansi and one for ansi? or could I put the commands in the normal routeen and will the program automaticaly pull them out? I am not a coder but am trying to learn, and can not seem to find any docs on how color in circle works, I know all the ansi codes, but I am unable to find how circle inplements them, and then what if I wanted to add color to a room descreption? would I have to make diffrent descreption files? one for ansi and one for not? IE. You stand before a large GREENpondNORM with all sorts of REDfishNORM..... so that the pond would be green and the fish would be red???? any help would be appreashited <I bite at spelling> ok, thanks, bye Cyber Reaper Realms of Reality ***UNDER CONSTRUCTION!!!*** telnet://login.greatbasin.net 4000 +-----------------------------------------------------------+ | Ensure that you have read the CircleMUD Mailing List FAQ: | | http://cspo.queensu.ca/~fletcher/Circle/list_faq.html | +-----------------------------------------------------------+
