Shattered Kingdoms

This is a parsing issue, make sure the little computer icon in the right hand corner is crossed out.

Or to perminatly remove this goto View-->preferences-->special characters and look for the entry that uses . and replace it with another character (I beleive I use +) and it will no longer ignore the .commands.

A guide to using zMUD to write descriptions:

Setup zMUD to use the SK MUD colours

Click on the menu item, View > Preferences > Colors.
Expand the tree item named 'Colors' and click the 'Color Syntax' child.
Fill in the boxes like those shown below with the same values:



This will set zMUD to use the colours the MUD uses to display the colours you use in your description editor.

Use the zMUD Editor to write descriptions

If you hold down CTRL+SHIFT and press ENTER the zMUD Editor will be loaded, alternatively you can access it from the menu, Windows > Editor.

Type your description using the Editor...



Highlight text and use the colour buttons to set the colours you want...



Send your description to the MUD

Once your description is completed, go into the MUD, type 'desc' and type '.c' to clear the current description.

Then go back into the editor and click the 'Send' button on the toolbar. Then back into the MUD, type the @ sign and press enter to complete the description sending. (Now would be a good time to save the description from the Editor)



The result sent to the MUD will include your ASCII escape codes to reform your description exactly as you saw it (colours may be slightly different) in the MUD. Like this:



Have fun and don't blame me if it doesn't work.

A reward-worthy post, boo. Nice work.

Rewards for OOC posts? What's next? Curses?

I think the reward he meant was that he wouldn't delete it

This should do the job you want, It gives you a button to toggle gagging on/off. V.usfull for gaging many things you might need as it puts it all into a new window.

I use it to strip ooc talk/and battle spam plus a couple of other things



This is not my own code it was taken from the old Yahoo board, and was part of a set of three tutiorals that someone posted can't rember who it was but if they still have copies this might be a good place to re post them.

I did the thing with the zMUD color editor and wrote a description, changing colors but when I sent it to the game no colors appeared, it's like I made it all white, why is that?

Make sure you have the Syntax enabled checkbox checked.

I had in enabled and it still doesn's show color, is there anything else I might not have done?
