Actually, its more of a MUSH because it will allow you to do specific events using mIRCscript remotely by adding events to an object. Anyway, before I get into all that.. my problem is adding color codes to the MUD. Since it will not be a DCC MUD (at least, you will have to use special DCC ports if you want to use a DCC window for it), I can't just use mIRC's color codes (CTRL+K, color number). Rather, I have to use ANSI. mIRC has a handy identifier, $ansi2mirc which will convert ANSI color codes to mIRC color codes (more or less). But does it have something that does the exact opposite, converting mIRC color codes to ANSI? If not, how would such a thing be made so as to allow bold, underline, foreground, and background colors? ------------- I am the self-appointed God of needlessly complex mIRCscript.

Here's a quick $m2a() alias, including a short version of $erkc()

Code:

alias m2a {
  var %i = 1, %c = $1-
  !.echo -q $regex(%c,/(\x03\d?\d?)/g)
  while $regml(%i) {
    var %i = %i + 1, %c = $replace(%c,$ifmatch,$_m2a($mid($ifmatch,2)))
  }
  return %c
}
alias -l _m2a {
  ; from $erkc() by SyntheroS
  if ($1 == 0) { return $chr(27) $+ [1;37m }
  elseif ($1 == 1) { return $chr(27) $+ [30m }
  elseif ($1 == 2) { return $chr(27) $+ [34m }
  elseif ($1 == 3) { return $chr(27) $+ [32m }
  elseif ($1 == 4) { return $chr(27) $+ [1;31m }
  elseif ($1 == 5) { return $chr(27) $+ [31m }
  elseif ($1 == 6) { return $chr(27) $+ [35m }
  elseif ($1 == 7) { return $chr(27) $+ [33m }
  elseif ($1 == 8) { return $chr(27) $+ [1;33m }
  elseif ($1 == 9) { return $chr(27) $+ [1;32m }
  elseif ($1 == 10) { return $chr(27) $+ [36m }
  elseif ($1 == 11) { return $chr(27) $+ [1;36m }
  elseif ($1 == 12) { return $chr(27) $+ [1;34m }
  elseif ($1 == 13) { return $chr(27) $+ [1;35m }
  elseif ($1 == 14) { return $chr(27) $+ [1;30m }
  elseif ($1 == 15) { return $chr(27) $+ [37m }
  else { return $chr(27) $+ [0m }
}

Paste it into the remote and use: //echo -a $m2a(^K14test)

Most terminals (by 'most' I mean many mud clients and some programs used to replace telnet, etc) use only 16 colors... not necessarily the ones that mIRC uses, though. But in an alias like $mirc2ansi, I'd suggest just finding the nearest match and using that, based on mIRC's ANSI processing. You can't really base it off of anything else because not every program uses the same colors to represent ANSI, even. Some programs have lighter or darker colors, etc. ------------- I am the self-appointed God of needlessly complex mIRCscript.
