Description

After the reboot, I wanted to see this in action so I typed color exits and received confirmation that it was toggled, here is a copy of what I see with the toggle off: <72%hp 56%m 100%mv 1579tnl> color exit You no longer see highlighted room exits. <72%hp 56%m 100%mv 1579tnl> l Palace Way This is a rather large street leading to the Palace. It has many gold decorations covering the sidewalk. Diplomatic groups and emissaries are the main travelers on the road. The Castle "Cataclysmic Bounds" lies at the end of the way. To the west is the main intersection. To the south lies the Warrior's guild. [Exits: east south west] A citizen of Arial City is here, scrutinizing you closely. A diplomat is here, trying to be diplomatic. A diplomat is here, trying to be diplomatic. A diplomat is here, trying to be diplomatic. A diplomat is here, trying to be diplomatic. A pilgrim is here, resting from his travels. A pilgrim is here, resting from his travels. And here is a copy of what I see with the toggle on: <90%hp 69%m 100%mv 1577tnl> color exit You now see highlighted room exits. <98%hp 76%m 100%mv 1577tnl> l Palace Way This is a rather large street leading to the Palace. It has many gold decorations covering the sidewalk. Diplomatic groups and emissaries are the main travelers on the road. The Castle "Cataclysmic Bounds" lies at the end of the way. To the west is the main intersection. To the south lies the Warrior's guild. [Exits: east south west] A citizen of Arial City is here, scrutinizing you closely. A diplomat is here, trying to be diplomatic. A diplomat is here, trying to be diplomatic. A diplomat is here, trying to be diplomatic. A diplomat is here, trying to be diplomatic. A pilgrim is here, resting from his travels. A pilgrim is here, resting from his travels. There isn't any difference in the room exits, no exits in bold letters. I spoke to an imm on at the time and he said it works for him. *shrug*

Subject: Check your client settings

We're using the "bold" setting for these ^[[1m
The white for room names is ^[[37;1m

If you check in your client, you might be able to find a place where you can define the colors you see. I could switch exits to use "white" just like the room names if there is a major client that does not support bold. What client are you using?

BTW, for those who might be wondering, the exits didn't show up in the log because HTML use was enabled. The forums tried to interpret the exits as HTML code. I disabled html for this post. There's a check mark just above where you type in the subject line when posting.

I'm using Zmud 6.62. Looking at the color schemes, I have my default text set to white foreground and black background. I don't see a way to allow bold characters. I've tried changing my fonts settings, but that didn't seem to work either. If you have any suggestions, I would apprectiate hearing them.

I found the problem. If I change my color to light gray I can see the exits highlighted. I guess I thought bold meant they would be a larger text size or style. I can just set up a trigger to color the exits, not a big deal.

Thanks for your help.
