Trouble getting color to display for class_menu was created by Liko

Hello,

I'm having trouble getting color to display for class_menu and when it asks for the player to choose their sex. Do I need to put a parse_at somewhere? I've tried it with @'s and /tR, but it just stays plain white. Any suggestions?

The tab is correct, but the protocol system won't utilize colour unless the player's color setting is atleast ?normal. So make sure you set the player's preference flags for colour on before you reach your class menu, and you should be ok.

Even setting the color flag after the pick the name as shown below still no color for the whole character creations.

Code:

          SET_BIT_AR(PRF_FLAGS(d->character), PRF_COLOR_1);
          SET_BIT_AR(PRF_FLAGS(d->character), PRF_COLOR_2);
          write_to_output(d, "Did I get that right, %s (@RY/@RN@n)? ", tmp_name);

Stock tbaMUD 3.63 includes use of the protocol system within character creation.

Code:

if (STATE(d) == CON_CNFPASSWD) {
      write_to_output(d, "\r\nWhat is your sex (\t(M\t)/\t(F\t))? ");
      STATE(d) = CON_QSEX;
    } else {
      save_char(d->character);
      write_to_output(d, "\r\nDone.\r\n%s", CONFIG_MENU);
      STATE(d) = CON_MENU;
    }
    break;

So if you are using 3.63, there should be no issue. Although I don't know why you are using an '@' in the code chunk above.

I was using @ as testing, I was switching between @ and \t, but neither are working.
