Alright. I download the colour limiting snippet from kyndig. I installed
it and everything went smoothly. Here is the code and instructions below:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------
in MERC.H add this
void strip_mortal_color(char *bufin, bool GLOBAL);
in all your channels ACT_COMM.C in like DO_GOSSIP and DO_SAY add this
if(!IS_IMMORTAL(ch))
strip_mortal_color( argument, TRUE );
before the output of sprintf(buf, "You gossip '%s'", argument); or similar
expresion used to send the entire argument (what was said) to whomever it
was going to.
for say i use FALSE and allow some codes not allowed for global channels.
in ACT_INFO.C under do_title add
/* not even imms can use these here */
strip_mortal_color( argument, TRUE );
before these lines of code
smash_tilde (argument);
set_title (ch, argument);
Last add this routine somewhere in a .c file i put it in ACT_NEWC.C
/*
* Strip reserved immortal only colors from strings
* These are based on my color codes yours may very some.
*
* Last the GLOBAL flag is used only when this affects everyone
* mud wide like gossip. For say i make this false and allow
* clear screen to be used by mortals.
*/
void strip_mortal_color(char *bufin, bool GLOBAL)
{
const char *pointer;
for(pointer = bufin; *pointer; pointer++)
{
if(*pointer == '{') /*this "{" is infact the color pointer on
my mud*/
{
pointer++;
bufin++;
if(*pointer == 'z') /*blinking text reserved*/
{
*bufin = ' ';
}
if(*pointer == '`') /*line space reserved*/
{
*bufin = ' ';
}
if(*pointer == '0' && GLOBAL) /*used for clear screen
reserved*/
{
*bufin = ' ';
}
}
bufin++;
}
}
Taka

This installed perfectly. There were no problems at all and I added the
color limiter in
places that it told me to and whatnot. did a clean compile. No errors with
that.
So I then went on and tried using a colored title. and there was still
colour. Does
anyone know why?
