I got a little problem.. On certain .mud files I have the regular colors for my mud and other's i've reversed the bright and dim and when I try saving the regular colors to a file and loading them on the bright colored ones, Everything just gets darker and the colors dont change.. Its just like theres a black transparency placed over the text or something. If anyone knows how I can get the colors on the bright configed chars back to the normal standard colors i'd appreciate it.

Go to Prefs/Colors/Foreground Mapping. There should be two buttons, Reverse Bright/Dim and Set colors to default. Click them both. Go to Background Mapping. There should be one button, Set colors to default. Click that. Go to Color Schemes. Click the pull-down field, you should have a choice between four types -- VT100, ANSI, Windows, or User-Defined. Choose VT100, then click the OK button (or one of the others, if you prefer, but VT100 seems to be the default). At this point, zMUD colors should all be back to default values.

This is all based on version 6.16, other versions may differ but should be similar. And I'd expect the first action (click Reverse Bright/Dim) will probably be enough.

Newp.. Tried that.. Unfortunately thats the thing that looks like the colors are still bright but theres a black transparency over it. Any other suggestions?

Nope. You apparently have something else somewhere that needs to be changed, but I don't have the slightest idea of what or where it is.

The best I can recommend is to treat it like a corrupt settings file. Create a new (empty) settings file, check that colors are the way you want, then start importing settings one at a time, checking colors again after each one. Be sure to restore all preferences to the original defaults first.
