Changing the color of room names to something unique? was created by Beven

The question doesn't appear to fit anywhere else..

I am doing this for simpler mapping of areas via mudlet. Is there a simple way to change the color of the roomnames so that it DOES NOT match the exits list? This is my first user change request. I think, perhaps nievely, that it would be trivial, but I don't yet know where to look in the code. Or is it in a config file someplace I didn't see?

in act.informative.c

Code:

send_to_char(ch, "@C%s [ %s] @n", world[IN_ROOM(ch)].name, buf);

the @C is for cyan, maybe change it to @R for red etc..

Ok... did what you indicated, it compiled fine, but I got the literal @R prepended to the room name. I seem to remember reading something about the color code stuff changing. to use the tab char instead of the @? if that is the case, in the source code would i use /t or literaly hit the tab key?

I don't read code but my copy reads:

Code:

send_to_char(ch, "%s", world[IN_ROOM(ch)].name);
  send_to_char(ch, "%s\r\n", CCNRM(ch, C_NRM));

  if ((!IS_NPC(ch) && !PRF_FLAGGED(ch, PRF_BRIEF)) || ignore_brief ||
      ROOM_FLAGGED(IN_ROOM(ch), ROOM_DEATH)) {
    if(!IS_NPC(ch) && PRF_FLAGGED(ch, PRF_AUTOMAP) && can_see_map(ch))
        str_and_map(world[target_room].description, ch, target_room);
    else
      send_to_char(ch, "%s", world[IN_ROOM(ch)].description);

Is it possible that the colour was changed for your mud, Rave?

I use the \t in strings in the source code. Works fine.

yeah, we like the old colorcodes so we have them implemented still. use the tba codes and you should be a go.
