Give me.... COLORS!

[Maizara]

There ever been any talk of adding ANSII to Genesis for things that most people have to make a trigger for themselves?

Such as obvious exits.. someone entering or leaving your room, when people talk so you dont have to squint through the 30 lines of combat to try and read the question you were just asked, when you receive mail or a messenger, or a tell from a wizard or guild ability ect.

Few times I have burnt my computer to dust and had to start over and it takes me a good 30 min just to get halfways through adding triggers just so I can understand the game again without missing things.

That should cover the basics.

Can't you save your triggers in a file somewhere? Mine have been traveling with me through various emails I had for the past 13 years or so.

I would die if Genesis would introduce ANSI and i didn't like the colours they would choose.

[Tarax the Terrible]

Nice list Rhaegar... But probably better to remove the guild specials?

I would guess that colours is something nearly everyone with a client does.
Being lazy these days and not paying as much attention to all the text flashing by.

So having Ansi to give beginners something subtle but highlighting key things to start with seems like a good idea.


It can't hurt can it?
Afterall you will be still be able to override/add to them in most clients or switch ANSI off in the mud options..

Not sure how much work it would be for the wizzies tho.
