Keeping MUD color through #SUB
|
Hey,
the mud is providing some text with color (ansi/xterm). I'd like to keep that color unchanged while subbing the text. Is there a way to do that? |

Not with the #SUBSTITUTE command, unless you happen to know what the color position is (you can provide the coloring yourself, via %ansi() or the mxp color tag or even the raw ansi code).
If you don't need to replace the entire line, check out #PSUB. |

What do you mean by 'color position'?
Coloring myself is not an option, the same line can be coloured by MUD in different colors, depending on data I do not have myself.
I do need to replace whole line, unfortunatly.
Is there not an way to extract color data from mud line, f.e. by using color trigger?
What is mxp color tag? |

I mean it in a literal sense. The place where a color code would go if you were building the line yourself.

CMud has exactly two color-preservation features. The first one does not let you change anything about the line and is better known as the #CAPTURE command. The second is that ansi codes can be matched on and captured into %1...%99 variables when a trigger's Ansi Trigger option is turned on. Outside of these, no color info of any kind is accessible to the user as it's already been processed out of the text stream.

It's just another formatting scheme, in this case it's a part of the MXP spec (which is itself a mudding-specific extension of the XML language). <color blue>this how a blue piece of text is colored via the mxp color tag</color>. |

I used the second one for exit #tagging (Colour trigger), however I have no idea how can I capture ansi / xterm code and use that in %ansi, since I dont see where the code is located in the text.
Could you show me an example of the trigger that assigns ansi codes to %1..%99?
This is how an example collored (ansi) line looks like for exit #tag.
<trigger priority="75570" ansi="true" id="7557">
<pattern>%e[1;32m(*).%e[0m$</pattern>
<value>$name = %1.
#tag name {$name}</value>
</trigger> |

You already have the example. If you want to capture data, use () around what you want to capture.

Sorry, I don't know where in that example I can find color data and how to use it properly.

Another problem (last one I didn't solve ofc):
The CMUD colours the line properly, but when i #CAPTURE the line into other window, the colour inherited from previous line, that was painting beginning of my captured line is missing. Any idea how to fix that? |

It seems it's not from previous line. No idea why not colouring while #capture then:
<27>[0m<27>[22;35mText
<27>[0m<27>[22;38;5;68mText2 <27>[0m<27>[35;1mText3
While in main window Text, Text2 and Text3 are properly coloured, when #capturing second line, only Text3 is coloured. |

No, sorry:
<27>[1z<27>[0m<27>[0m<27>[22;38;5;154m(TEXT).<27>[K
vs
<27>[1z(TEXT).<27>[K
It makes sense why there is no color in second line. How to copy whole line then? |
