Please stop sending HTML mail to the list... You'll find the setting to
change it in the following location on your mailer(what appears to be
outlook express). Tools->Options->"Send" tab->select 'plain text' under
'mail sending format'.
Now, as to your problem. What the easy color (or colour, if you prefer)
patch does is it searches every string for the '&' and code for a color
afterwards. It does not automatically append a CCNRM to the end of the
string, so if you don't want color to bleed through until a CCNRM, you
will either have to add an "&n" to the end of all of your lines you use
color in, or modify this section in comm.c:
/* Send queued output out to the operating system (ultimately to
user) */
for (d = descriptor_list; d; d = next_d) {
next_d = d->next;
if (*(d->output) && FD_ISSET(d->descriptor, &output_set)) {
/* Output for this player is ready */
if (process_output(d) < 0)
close_socket(d);
else
d->has_prompt = 1;
}
}
What you would do here, is insert something similar to 'strcat(d->output,
"\x1B[0;0m");' in this code (which would append the 'normal' color code
to the end of the string, making color return to normal no matter what.
Then, the aforementioned code would look something like this:
/* Send queued output out to the operating system (ultimately to
user) */
for (d = descriptor_list; d; d = next_d) {
strcat(d->output, "\x1B[0;0m");
next_d = d->next;
if (*(d->output) && FD_ISSET(d->descriptor, &output_set)) {
/* Output for this player is ready */
if (process_output(d) < 0)
close_socket(d);
else
d->has_prompt = 1;
}
}
Now, I have no idea if this code will work as I haven't tested it, but I
can't think of any reason off the top of my head that it shouldn't. If
you have any problems, feel free to e-mail me.
