Problem solved tonight, it was a case of the colour flags not being turned on.
Just so something gets learned, by default, the Protocol System will function from step 1 of the Greetings screen but colour codes won't be parsed unless colour is set to C_CMP (This can be set to C_NRM or lower in protocol.c around line 1404). If you'd like to set the colour flags right after the greetings screen is recieved, what I've done is this:
Code:
if (GET_HOST(d->character))
free(GET_HOST(d->character));
GET_HOST(d->character) = strdup(d->host);
d->character->desc = d;
CREATE(d->character->player.name, char, strlen(tmp_name) + 1);
strcpy(d->character->player.name, CAP(tmp_name)); /* strcpy: OK (size checked above) */
GET_PFILEPOS(d->character) = player_i;
+ if (d->pProtocol && (d->pProtocol->pVariables[eMSDP_ANSI_COLORS] ||
+ d->pProtocol->pVariables[eMSDP_XTERM_256_COLORS])) {
+ 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 (\t(Y\t)/\t(N\t))? ", tmp_name);
STATE(d) = CON_NAME_CNFRM;
} else {
/* undo it just in case they are set */
REMOVE_BIT_AR(PLR_FLAGS(d->character), PLR_WRITING);
REMOVE_BIT_AR(PLR_FLAGS(d->character), PLR_MAILING);
REMOVE_BIT_AR(PLR_FLAGS(d->character), PLR_CRYO);
d->character->player.time.logon = time(0);
write_to_output(d, "Password: ");
echo_off(d);
d->idle_tics = 0;
STATE(d) = CON_PASSWORD;
}
} else {
/* player unknown -- make new character */
/* Check for multiple creations of a character. */
if (!valid_name(tmp_name)) {
write_to_output(d, "Invalid name, please try another.\r\nName: ");
return;
}
CREATE(d->character->player.name, char, strlen(tmp_name) + 1);
strcpy(d->character->player.name, CAP(tmp_name)); /* strcpy: OK (size checked above) */
+ if (d->pProtocol && (d->pProtocol->pVariables[eMSDP_ANSI_COLORS] ||
+ d->pProtocol->pVariables[eMSDP_XTERM_256_COLORS])) {
+ 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 (\t(Y\t)/\t(N\t))? ", tmp_name);
STATE(d) = CON_NAME_CNFRM;
}
}
break;
