uhg.. i'm having problems getting the color snippet to work from the snippets page. The one where you use "&1" and that sort of thing to bring you color. The instructions for installing it were sparse so i sorta did what i thought should be done.. this included the following: modified comm.c as follows: added parse_color function above the write_to_output function (and the other function that came in the color.c file) added a #include screen.h at the top of comm.c modified the write_to_output function as outlined in the readme file.. threw the new screen.h file into the SRC directory it compiles although with two warnings on the additions i made in the write_to_output function. it didn't like the line that is... new_txt = parse_color(txt,t); the actual errors are-> cl -c /nologo /I. /I\MSDEV\INCLUDE comm.c comm.c comm.c(1063) : warning C4090: 'function' : different 'const' qualifiers comm.c(1063) : warning C4024: 'parse_color' : different types for formal and actual parameter 1 comm.c(342) : warning C4761: integral size mismatch in argument; conversion supplied set lib=\MSDEV\LIB link /OUT:circle.exe /nologo /subsystem:console comm.obj act.comm.obj act.informative.obj act.movement.obj act.item.obj act.offensive.obj act.other.obj act.social.obj act.wizard.obj ban.obj boards.obj castle.obj class.obj config.obj constants.obj db.obj fight.obj graph.obj handler.obj house.obj interpreter.obj limits.obj magic.obj mail.obj mobact.obj modify.obj objsave.obj olc.obj shop.obj spec_assign.obj spec_procs.obj spell_parser.obj spells.obj utils.obj weather.obj random.obj wsock32.lib NMAKE /NOLOGO /S circle.exe 'circle.exe' is up-to-date Ultimately the problem is i changed DO_SCORE in act.informative.c and put in colors (&2 and &4 primarily). The text is still normal colored and shows the "&2" and "&4" wherever i inserted them. i.e. it doesn't work.. this is running on a Win95 platform if it matter. greatly appreciate any input! +-----------------------------------------------------------+ | Ensure that you have read the CircleMUD Mailing List FAQ: | | http://cspo.queensu.ca/~fletcher/Circle/list_faq.html | +-----------------------------------------------------------+
