Ok... if I am reading this right, then you would just need to find where it
calls the string and add in the color codes
(i.e.. from do_look: "look" or "look auto" in act_info.c)
sprintf(buf, "{v%s{x", ch->in_room->name);
send_to_char(buf, ch);
This will (on my old mud anyway) bold the room title to anyone who has ANSI
enabled.
I hope that helps... if not what you were looking for, then I am at a loss
for thought.
